Wait action messing stuff up

06-29-2005, 09:57 PM

This is my action trigger, you see I'm replacing a unit, then waiting then replacing the unit with the original unit. It works fine, except for one problem, IT ONLY WORKS IF I TAKE OUT THE WAIT ACTION!! Why is the sleep action messing up my code? Also, does anyone know something I can use instead of wait?

Code:

function Trig_CopyHeroSpellTemp_Copy_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u
    local unit u2
    set u2 = GetTriggerUnit()
    set u = GetSpellTargetUnit()
    call ReplaceUnitBJ( u2, GetUnitTypeId(u), bj_UNIT_STATE_METHOD_DEFAULTS )
    set u = GetLastReplacedUnitBJ()
    if ( Trig_CopyHeroSpellTemp_Copy_Func006C() ) then
        call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'Acsk', GetLastReplacedUnitBJ() )
    else
        call DoNothing(  )
    endif
    call TriggerSleepAction( 5.00 )
    call ReplaceUnitBJ( u, GetUnitTypeId(u2), bj_UNIT_STATE_METHOD_DEFAULTS )
set u=null
set u2=null
endfunction

Ceo	Have you tried using PolledWait() ?

Guest	You can also use times, although I'm not really sure how cuz i haven't had time to figure it out yet. I'd try that.

Anitarf	You are using the replace unit action, which effectively removes the old unit and creates the new one. Because th old unit is removed, it is cleared from memory, and you can't get it's unit-type anymore after a wait. Just make a unittype variable instead of a unit variable to store the unit type of the unit you replace.
