What do these gameevents do?

09-29-2008, 04:07 PM

As the title says: I assume these are a generic event for trackables, which don't know. Anyone have anymore input?

JASS:

call TriggerRegisterGameEvent(trigger1, EVENT_GAME_TRACKABLE_HIT)
call TriggerRegisterGameEvent(trigger2, EVENT_GAME_TRACKABLE_TRACK)

Edit: These are just added so you don't confuse the top ones with these ones. These are for registering each trackable.

JASS:

call TriggerRegisterTrackableHitEvent(trigger1, Trackable[i])
call TriggerRegisterTrackableTrackEvent(trigger2, Trackable[i])

Bobo_The_Kodo	TriggerRegisterTrackableHitEvent registers when a player clicks on a trackable and TriggerRegisterTrackableTrack event registers when a player moves their mouse over a trackable, though it is somewhat unreliable and slow.

Zandose	Sorry I meant the two top triggers which are highlighted. The other two I meant as "I already know what these do, so please don't confuse the top two with these." Anyways, forget the bottom ones.

chobibo	Maybe backwards compatibility? kind of like EVENT_UNIT_ISSUED_UNIT_ORDER.

Bobo_The_Kodo	Probably just generic ones activated by any trackable?

I think this might be it.

What do you mean?

I've already tested that. There was no trackables firing for the event.

JASS:

EVENT_UNIT_ISSUED_USER_ORDER==EVENT_UNIT_ISSUED_TARGET_ORDER

It's a constant code that generates a constant PlayerUnitEvent handle, the thing is USER_ORDER was an older version of TARGET_ORDER, it was retained in order for older maps, which use it, to be still playable, that's what I mean when I said backwards compatibility.

Apparently these Events are used to be able to compare which event fired, consider this trigger:

JASS:

function WhichEventFired takes nothing returns boolean
    local eventid id=GetTriggerEventId()
    if id==EVENT_GAME_TRACKABLE_HIT then
        // Do something if the event fired was a trackable hit event
    elseif id==EVENT_GAME_TRACKABLE_TRACK then
        // Do something if the event fired was a trackable track event
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function InitTrig takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t=CreateTrigger()
    local trackable tr=CreateTrackable("", 0, 0, 0)
    
    call TriggerRegisterTrackableHitEvent(t, tr)
    call TriggerRegisterTrackableTrackEvent(t, tr)
    call TriggerAddCondition(t, Condition( function WhichEventFired)
endfunction

using these eventid handles, you can determine which event fired.
Now if only blizzard would create a RemoveEvent native....

Zandose	I see. Thank you. EVENT_GAME_TRACKABLE_HIT and EVENT_GAME_TRACKABLE_TRACK seem kind of useless. You already have different events for trackables so why would you want to know which one fired.
