Uh, what's the difference between that and just specifying the original group?

PitzerMike	Me always forgets if the source group or the target group is the first parameter. That's why I think it would be quite handy.

Doesn't it ever bother you that you can't access local variables when using the ForGroup() function?
You probably already know of this method:

Code:

loop
   exitwhen IsUnitGroupEmptyBJ( victims )
   set current = GroupPickRandomUnit( victims )
                
   // Actions
   call GroupRemoveUnit( victims, current )
endloop

But after this loop has run, victims is empty, and you might need it later. So you can use assign another local variable to CloneGroup( victims ) and use that, so victims remains untouched.

Never use GroupPickRandomUnit with such a loop. It is very inefficient. Instead use FirstOfGroup. The loop is then as follows:

Code:

loop
   set current = FirstOfGroup( victims )
   exitwhen current == null

   // Actions
   call GroupRemoveUnit( victims, current )
endloop

You right :knife: but the point was that it eliminates the group one way or another.

Code:

//Simulates an interface error message for a specified player
function SimError takes player ForPlayer, string msg returns nothing
    local sound error = CreateSound( "Sound\\Interface\\Error.wav", false, false, false, 10, 10, "HeroAcksEAX" )
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == ForPlayer) then
       call ClearTextMessages()
       call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer( ForPlayer, 0.52, -1.00, 2.00, "|cffffcc00"+msg+"|r" )
       call SetSoundParamsFromLabel( error, "InterfaceError" )
       call SetSoundDuration( error, 614 )
       call SetSoundChannel( error, 6 )
       call PlaySoundBJ( error )
    endif

dataangel	Hey Lord Vexorian, what do those extra reals in SimError do, the ones that you pass to the display text function? I thought they might be for positioning the text but awhile ago when I experimented with it it made no difference. Does it work in TFT?

10-03-2003, 12:02 PM	#189
Vexorian	I use TFT, and when I tested the function the text showed at the same x position as the error messages, the negative y value didn't work, it seems like a limit for the text.

dataangel	Bump Still need a PHP/MySql guy to set this up :/

10-13-2003, 08:25 PM	#191
Starcraftfreak	Why don't make a forum as temporary solution?

KaTTaNa	I'm not a PHP/MySQL expert, but I'm fairly experienced with it, and I think I should be able to create a site where you can search functions by return type, author and name. What exactly should it be capable of? I might want to help you with this if you still need it. NOTE: No promises as of yet, just asking.

10-15-2003, 10:57 PM	#193
dataangel	Looks like Kattana is gonna help, our PMs have been fruitful =) With any luck we can have this working soon ^_^

10-16-2003, 12:08 PM	#194
KaTTaNa	Look at it here!! http://kattana.users.whitehat.dk :D

PitzerMike	LOL When I register it says "you are now registered and can NOT log in" I think it should be now instead of not:D Is anyone going to submit all the functions we have collected by now?
