Dunno if this shud be in the jass section, but as im not 100 sure its a jass problem i posted here.

Im using both vexorians hero selection system AND his caster system in my map, they have helped me alot. I think this problem occured when i copy pasted one of the triggers in the caster system (long after i had implemented the system itself), it was the "Exorcism" trigger that shows how to make AoE triggered spell damage that give bounty and xp. When i opened the variable menu i found these huge amounts of new variables that all start with "zz_". That means its jass, right?

However, when i tried deleting the triggers and saved, it said there was missing variables. And the really weird thing is that the missing variables belong to the picking system, NOT the caster system! Ill send vexorian a priv msg bout this too

edit: Problem fixed

im guessing these are global variables, these can only be created by having the "create unknon variables as needed" option checked. so i doubt it came from the exorsism trigger. Also, just for future knowledge zz_ doesn't mean jass

Ok thanks alot. And yes, i too guessed they were created by the "create unknown var" option. But they appeared after i inserted the Exorcism trigger; i had not pasted any other triggers when i noticed these weird variables.

Ok now we know WHAT they are, so: HOW to fix? :/

Fix what?
there is nothing to fix, they are needed variables. You probably deleted something that was needed for either of the vex things.

Well... Its not like everytime you create a new map 100 zz_ variables are loaded into the variable menu.

Im sure they are needed variables, but appearently they are NOT needed to show up in my variable menu. Its not like it ruins the map, but it really does make the variable menu annoying to sort.

What to fix: Make them go back from wherever they came from :)

I did not say it was your fault; but they were created when i loaded your trigger Exorcism and the variables were inside of your picking system, so theres gotta be some kind of connection?

NO THERE ISN'T damnit, don't you understand, Weu's enhancer creates them, you just didn't check right after you installer weu's advanced triggers, and checked after copying my spells and assumed for no reason that they magically appeared because of them.

WeU 's enhancer is supposed to create 100 variables after you install the advanced triggers in you map

Ahh thanks, that does explain it all! When i loaded the exorcism triggers i needed to activate the advanced ones for a part of the special spell i made!

Oh well ill have to live with them then, its worth it to have the advanced triggers :)

Well, check my first post... It says that i THINK they were created by the exorcism trigger, not that i know for sure. Its was not my intention to spread bad rumours of that your sytems are not working... i even stated that they have helped me ALOT in my map
