[Trigger] Will this global counter work inside local?

[TKF]

If i put a global variable inside a local function, will it still be global?


I almost never use custom script locals, but I have to since the attacking unit is being dispersed quickly.

If someone confirms this works I'm happy. I cannot test the assist system before release, so I need someone who knows how locals works to take a look at this trigger.

Assistance Trigger

• Assistance Normal Attack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • (Owner of (Attacking unit)) Not equal to Neutral Hostile
    • ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Attacking unit))) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Set blahblah blah LOTS of non important triggers -then...
    • Custom script: local player udg_AssAtt
    • Custom script: local player udg_AssDef
    • Set AssAtt = (Owner of (Attacking unit))
    • Set AssDef = (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Owner of (Attacking unit)) is in AssistPlayerGroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Player Group - Add AssAtt to AssistPlayerGroup[(Player number of AssDef)]
      • Else - Actions
    • Set AssistCounter[(Player number of AssAtt)] = (AssistCounter[(Player number of AssAtt)] + 1)
    • Wait 4.00 seconds
    • Set AssistCounter[(Player number of AssAtt)] = (AssistCounter[(Player number of AssAtt)] - 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • AssistCounter[(Player number of AssAtt)] Less than 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Set AssistCounter[(Player number of AssAtt)] = 0
        • Player Group - Remove AssAtt from AssistPlayerGroup[(Player number of AssDef)]
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_AssDef = null
    • Custom script: set udg_AssAtt = null

The purpose of the trigger:
The assistance counters is supposed to work in that way the assistance should count until 4 seconds after the last attack. The counter is a global variable, while the attacking player is decleared local.

Move the local declaration at the top of your actions, otherwise it won't work.

A logical thing: You set the assist counter -1 in all situations, but only in the <1 situation the player is removed from the group. Are you sure it has to be like that?

EDIT: Yeah, seems to be fine after I understood what you did there. Still locals need to be on top.

Will it work inside and If - Then - Else - Trigger? Or must it be on top on the actions in the trigger?


I need to know cuz I have If - Then - Else in between the local declearation.



And can locals be on top inside a If - Then - Else? Or must it be on top in the trigger itself?

 

[Zwiebelchen]

It must be on top of the actions of the trigger. Always.
If then else should work just fine.

Ok, i created a new trigger for the locals (phoenix fire kill projectile, so the killer is the unit being hit!!).

Well, then this should also work fine?
