Ok, i got a pretty complex trigger here, and it seems that ive reached WEs limitations or something, i got trigger errors like i would if i used jass... but with GUI triggers, the trigger is for a td, and it works fine, i was just having to modify it a little so it can b sold. The tower shoots a glaive out at 0°, then it returns like a boomerang, the entire tower rotates, and it contionues like this. But, when u sell the tower, it doesnt sell the blade with it, so i was gonna use a unit group array to store the pairs of towers and units, however... thats when i got the errors, it says FUNCTION NAME REQUIRED, and points to the add and remove unit lines from the unit group action. anyways, heres my trigger (theres 1 more b4 it that im not posting).

ok, well i got it working :). i just had 2 do a check 2 c if a glaive is stuck still and there is no tower around, so now it works and sells :). |

Thank god. No one would want to go though all that triggers. |

i went through it :p and i would like to note that comments REALLY REALLY help for readabilitiy and understandability also, random unit from unit group generally tends to start messing up once multiple-instances get involved... i mean the conditions and such are a bitch to read through so i didn't read through them, but yeah i hope u took care of that and uh, thats gonna cause so many memory leaks, its kinda scary and your four directional conditions (1/2/3/4) could really be combined into 1 action list since the only thing that appears to change is (0/90/180/270) equivalent to ( (custom value - 1) * 90 ) Code:

well, not exactally... the first number is a 1/2/3/4 determing dirrection, the other numbers r how far its gone, and to reverse the dirrection it multiplys the custom value by -1. so -248 means its gone in dirrection 2, and its moved 48 times, and since the constent speed is 10, 48 * 10 = 480, just shy of its aquistion range (500) this is how it knows when 2 reverse around. |

IT is not complex, it is just wrong, you should be already using a hash table instead of overusing custom value like that |
| 03-05-2005, 01:00 PM | #7 |
a hash table...? and y not use the custom values, its the simplest way to make this work properly. If i were 2 use arrays, then whenever a new unit is created, id have 2 run a bunch of checks to c which array slots r aviliable, and id have 2 make it so when u sell the tower, it allows for that array slot to be aviliable for another tower. |

The simplest way is a hash table since you won't need to decode/encode stuff like that. A hash table is a game cache that you don't use to save things in the hard drive so it is multiplayer compatible, of course you can combine a hash table with the return bug and you can do really nice stuff |

I as well would appreciate it if you could elaborate on the usage of a hash table. how is one initialized and what makes it so useful? I can see the potential of using it in conjunction with the return bug but why can't he just use custom values? |

he can use custom values... just setting up -- well, personally i don't call it a hash table, i'm only in 2nd year, but -- setting up the gamecache does make things a lot simpler and readable -- especially since he went hardcore with the substringing which is just godawful ugly |
