[Solved] Will it be a problem?

[Jay the Editor]

Just a simple question I would like to ask here. I using the same point which is temp_point for both triggers as shown below. Will it be a problem? Or will it cause a bug or etc.?

Triggers

• Dying Effects
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Not equal to Mystic Mage
  • Actions
    • Set temp_point = (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at temp_point using Abilities\Spells\Undead\AnimateDead\AnimateDeadTarget.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temp_point)

• Spawning
  • Events
    • Time - Every 6.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set temp_point = (Position of Mystic_Mage)
    • Set temp_point2 = (temp_point offset by (Random real number between 300.00 and 500.00) towards (Random angle) degrees)
    • Unit - Create 1 DemonSpawn[DemonLevel] for Neutral Hostile at temp_point2 facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack Mystic_Mage
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temp_point2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temp_point)

It's not a problem. It's a good thing. No need to have separate variables.

Ohh thanks Maker. D

I use three seperate point variables when in GUI, specific to their names:

CenterPoint
TargetPoint
OffsetPoint.

ohh.. haha.. almost the same thing D it's going to remove right after i use anyway

If you have a wait between setting and removing in non-repeating triggers (like your examples) then it will be a problem. But I guess you're not at the nooby stage anymore anyway.

 

[Jay the Editor]

Well, I'm still in a weak stage in these kind of thing I focus on creating spell while the other parts haven't get it thoroughly. By the way, what do you mean by non-repeating triggers like my example? It runs every 6 seconds and every time a unit dies, I thought it's a repeating trigger as the trigger runs again and again when the event happens?

i guess what he refers to a repeating trigger is a trigger that appears more than once (or two triggers which do basically the same thing) in a single map.

 

[Jay the Editor]

Ohh I see... Thanks ronojales DD

What I meant was that if you want to keep a location from one interval to another then it has to be indexed or stored into a hashtable to ensure it's not being overwritten (if you aren't skilled enough of course to handle it yourself )
