Environment - Deformations

06-16-2005, 02:26 AM

I can't seem to get this trigger to work. Anyone have any ideas?

Code:

Environment - Create a 0.50 second Temporary crater deformation at (Center of (Playable map area)) with radius 512.00 and depth 64.00

Code:

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1000, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Environment - Create a 0.01 second Permanent crater deformation at (Point((Load (String((Integer A))) of DeformationX from GameCache[1]), (Load (String((Integer A))) of DeformationY from GameCache[1]))) with radius (Load (String((Integer A))) of DeformationSize from GameCache[1]) and depth (Load (String((Integer A))) of DeformationHeight from GameCache[1])
        Wait 0.01 game-time seconds

Scyze	From what I gather, you have an interesting map concept. But, rest aside, you probably have your game caches set up wrong, as a lot of people have loads of trouble with them.. and I don't know terribly much myself. Research it a bit.

Ok. I'll check them when i have the time.

Ok. I went though it and cleaned it up a bit but it's still not working. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Code:

Set Temp_Integer2 = 0
For each (Integer B) from 1 to 100, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Wait 0.01 game-time seconds
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Temp_Integer2 = (Temp_Integer2 + 1)
                Game Cache - Store (X of (Random point in (Entire map))) as (String(Temp_Integer2)) of DeformationX in GameCache[1]
                Game Cache - Store (Y of (Random point in (Entire map))) as (String(Temp_Integer2)) of DeformationY in GameCache[1]
                Game Cache - Store (Random real number between 100.00 and 2000.00) as (String(Temp_Integer2)) of DeformationSize in GameCache[1]
                Game Cache - Store (Random real number between -200.00 and 200.00) as (String(Temp_Integer2)) of DeformationHeight in GameCache[1]

Code:

Set Temp_Integer = 0
For each (Integer B) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Wait 0.01 game-time seconds
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 100, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Temp_Integer = (Temp_Integer + 1)
                Set Temp_Real2[1] = (Load (String(Temp_Integer)) of DeformationX from GameCache[1])
                Set Temp_Real2[2] = (Load (String(Temp_Integer)) of DeformationY from GameCache[1])
                Set Temp_Real2[3] = (Load (String(Temp_Integer)) of DeformationSize from GameCache[1])
                Set Temp_Real2[4] = (Load (String(Temp_Integer)) of DeformationHeight from GameCache[1])
                Environment - Create a 0.01 second Permanent crater deformation at (Point(Temp_Real2[1], Temp_Real2[2])) with radius Temp_Real2[3] and depth Temp_Real2[4]
                Wait 0.01 game-time seconds

sc_freek	I think there's a trigger called "Environment - Activate Last created weather effect" or something like that... Try finding something like that and put it after your deformation trigger.

Weather effects are not the same as terrain deformations.

iNfraNe	you realize this would take ages to complete right? a 0.01 game time wait lasts about 0.25 seconds. 0.25 x 1000 =... 250 seconds.

This is just for testing. I'll going to be using a lot less.

Guest	I've had troubles with putting wait functions inside for loops. Maybe it could have something to do with this...

iNfraNe	Wait function can be used without problems in for loops. Unit and Player group loops however, tend to f up.

Well, Integer A and Integer B are also global variables, so any trigger that runs while this one waits can mess them up :/

I'll change them to variable loops then. Just to be on the safe side.
