Wisp Wheel Problem...

[australianbeast]

I have a wisp wheel trigger, but for some reason it is not working properly. I have looked it over many times but cannot find an error.

I want to post the trigger here but I am not quite sure how to do that..

Go to your trigger, in the Trigger Editor and Right click on the name of the trigger (but in the right window of the interface, not the left one, with the list of the triggers), and click "Copy as Text". Come back here to your new thread, type "[ tr igger]", without the spaces and the quotes, right-click -> paste and in the end of the text type "[/ tr igger]" (again without the spaces and the quotes).

            • Set tmp_point[2] = (Center[2] offset by ((Real((Integer B))) x 200.00) towards ((Real((Integer A))) x 90.00) degrees)
            • Set UnitAngle[UnitArray] = ((Real((Integer A))) x 90.00)
            • Set UnitDistance[UnitArray] = ((Real((Integer B))) x 200.00)
            • Unit - Create 1 Energy Ball for Player 9 (Gray) at tmp_point[2] facing Default building facing degrees
            • Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to UnitArray
            • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to UnitGroup[2]
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tmp_point[2])

• Move 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- raise the + amount in real=real+1.00 to increase speed --------
    • Set Real[2] = (Real[2] - 1.00)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup[2] and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set tmp_point[2] = (Center[2] offset by UnitDistance[(Custom value of (Picked unit))] towards (Real[2] + UnitAngle[(Custom value of (Picked unit))]) degrees)
        • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to tmp_point[2], facing (Real[2] + UnitAngle[(Custom value of (Picked unit))]) degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tmp_point[2])

so the problem is, the units will not move in a circle around the center. The units are created at the correct places, but then they do not move.

You accidentally used a static event: "Time - Elapsed game time is 0.03 seconds"
Use the "Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game-time" ;]

 

[australianbeast]

No, that is meant to be a static event, as it is only creating the units.

Center[2] is unset In this line:

• Set tmp_point[2] = (Center[2] offset by UnitDistance[(Custom value of (Picked unit))] towards (Real[2] + UnitAngle[(Custom value of (Picked unit))]) degrees)

 

[australianbeast]

Wait, how does that line unset center[2]? Center[2] is already set to a unit at map initialization.

 

[raft_pl]

Either the group is empty or the custom value failed somehow. Tho everything seems to be done correctly, it should move the units around.
Honestly, it would be best if you'd just attach your map here for us to check it.

 

[australianbeast]

Alright, here's a sample map.

 

[raft_pl]

The same problem as in previous thread...
All unit group arrays other than [1] have to be created before using them. Just put this at the beggining of your CreateBoulder trigger:

• Set UnitGroup[2] = (Units in (Playable map area))
• Unit Group - Remove all units from UnitGroup[2]

Also, use Map Initialization instead of estimated timer. It's plain better, and the trigger will still work as intended. (in this case)

 

[australianbeast]

Ah, finally it works! Thank you for the help.

 

[Pharaoh_]

A similar method to raft_pl, but better (for me) is setting this in the map initialization trigger:

• Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_UnitGroup[2] = CreateGroup()

And it works just fine ;]

Well, yeah, actually i wanted to do so, but then thought that gui users find gui actions easier to use and understand, so i left it that way
