Odd Trigger loop

01-30-2004, 12:14 AM

Something in my triggers is makingit loop 3 times. I have a difficulty vote with 4 settings, and it goes fine until it tallies the results. somewhere after that it loops 3 times creating 3 sets of units and I can't figure out where. Hopefully someone can spot the bug. If you need any more info than this please let me know!

Code:

Vote Results 5 Legends
    Events
        Time - Dumb_Triggers expires
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (If (Dificulty_Vote[(Integer A)] Less than Dificulty_Vote[1]) then do (Trigger - Run Setup Timid 5 Legends <gen> (ignoring conditions)) else do (Do nothing))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (If (Dificulty_Vote[(Integer A)] Less than Dificulty_Vote[2]) then do (Trigger - Run Setup Normal 5 Legends <gen> (ignoring conditions)) else do (Do nothing))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (If (Dificulty_Vote[(Integer A)] Less than Dificulty_Vote[3]) then do (Trigger - Run Setup Heroic 5 Legends <gen> (ignoring conditions)) else do (Do nothing))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (If (Dificulty_Vote[(Integer A)] Less than Dificulty_Vote[4]) then do (Trigger - Run Setup Legendary 5 Legends <gen> (ignoring conditions)) else do (Do nothing))

The way you have it done is very strange. It makes sense why it loops three times. You are telling it to run the trigger three times. What are you trying to accomplish with running loops there? It makes absolutly no sense. You are telling the game basically to run each trigger three times if there was one vote placed, 2 if there were 2, and 1 if there were 3. It just doesn't make any sense. I can't help until I know more about what you are trying to do with the loops.

Can you explain to me how I looped it? I am not understanding what looped it. It was based on another trigger (below) that runs without looping.

Code:

Vote Results
    Events
        Time - Difficulty_Vote expires
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (If (Dificulty_Vote[(Integer A)] Less than Dificulty_Vote[1]) then do (Trigger - Run Setup Timid <gen> (ignoring conditions)) else do (Do nothing))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (If (Dificulty_Vote[(Integer A)] Less than Dificulty_Vote[2]) then do (Trigger - Run Setup Normal <gen> (ignoring conditions)) else do (Do nothing))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (If (Dificulty_Vote[(Integer A)] Less than Dificulty_Vote[3]) then do (Trigger - Run Setup Heroic <gen> (ignoring conditions)) else do (Do nothing))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (If (Dificulty_Vote[(Integer A)] Less than Dificulty_Vote[4]) then do (Trigger - Run Setup Legendary <gen> (ignoring conditions)) else do (Do nothing))

If im not mistaken; if the value of Dificulty_Vote[2, 3 or 4] is smaller than Dificulty_Vote[1], then you tell it to execute up to 3 times.

Edit:
Breaking it down a bit.

In reality, this is what you call:

If Dificulty_Vote[1] > Dificulty_Vote[1]
Then Run Setup Timid <gen>
If Dificulty_Vote[1] > Dificulty_Vote[2]
Then Run Setup Timid <gen>
If Dificulty_Vote[1] > Dificulty_Vote[3]
Then Run Setup Timid <gen>
If Dificulty_Vote[1] > Dificulty_Vote[4]
Then Run Setup Timid <gen>

So if [1] is the highest value in your array, you'll loop 3 times.

Hope it helps
