another jass noob question, on "WaitForPlayerEvent"

07-27-2006, 04:59 PM

What do i type in for the boolexpr condition argument when i call this function?

JASS:

function WaitForPlayerEvent takes handle whichForceOrPlayer, playerevent whichPlayerEvent, boolexpr condition, real interval returns nothing
    local trigger bj_temp = bj_delayedSuspendDecayTrig
    local trigger t
    local triggercondition c
    local player whichPlayer = WaitForPlayerEvent_H2P(whichForceOrPlayer)
    local force whichForce = WaitForPlayerEvent_H2F(whichForceOrPlayer)
    if whichForceOrPlayer == null or whichPlayerEvent == null then
        set whichForce = null
        return
    elseif interval < 0 then
        set interval = 0
    endif
    set t = CreateTrigger()
    set bj_delayedSuspendDecayTrig = t
    set bj_forceCountPlayers = WaitForPlayerEvent_PE2I(whichPlayerEvent)
    call ForForce(whichForce, function WaitForPlayerEvent_Enum)
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(bj_delayedSuspendDecayTrig, whichPlayer, whichPlayerEvent)
    if condition != null then
        set c = TriggerAddCondition(bj_delayedSuspendDecayTrig, condition)
    endif
    set bj_delayedSuspendDecayTrig = bj_temp
    loop
        call TriggerSleepAction(interval)
        exitwhen GetTriggerExecCount(t) != 0
    endloop
    if condition != null then
        call TriggerRemoveCondition(t, c)
        set c = null
    endif
    call DestroyTrigger(t)
    set t = null
    set whichForce = null
endfunction

Rising_Dusk	JASS: Condition(function SomeConditionFunctionThatReturnsBoolean) Something like that, with the function name being whatever you want it to be (Assuming you have it somewhere above this call).

Linera	ummmm, huh?

You need to create a boolean expression for that argument.

JASS:

local boolexpr b = Condition(function MyBool)

It would look something like this in game.

JASS:

function MyBool takes nothing returns boolean
    return true
endfunction

function OtherFunc takes nothing returns nothing
    local player p = Player(0)
    local boolexpr b = Condition(function MyBool)
    call WaitForPlayerEvent(p, EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED, b, 20.0)
endfunction

Or something like that, of course modified to fit your needs.

Linera	well for this function i don't know what it wants but thanks

Sharingan	... Waiting for PlayerEvents fails. Why not plain create a new dynamic trigger which gets destroyed later?
