Can't add a unit to group.

08-11-2006, 12:33 AM

For some reason, no matter what I try, a particular unit type I am creating will not group or add to a group for me. It used to work, and I was doing some optimization and I'm not sure what I changed that would fook it up. What kind of settings would make a unit ungroupable?

Tried this:

JASS:

function grouptest takes nothing returns nothing
 local group g = CreateGroup()
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(g,gg_rct_test1,null)
    call BJDebugMsg(I2S(CountUnitsInGroup(g))
endfunction

It returns 0 no matter how many of the wisps I have created in that region, and it's not a mistake with the rect; I tested with other units.

I've also tried setting the units to global unit variables.

JASS:

function grouptest takes nothing returns nothing
 local integer i=0
 local group g = CreateGroup()
    loop
        exitwhen i>10
        call BJDebugMsg(GetUnitName(udg_spirit[i]))
        call GroupAddUnit(g,udg_spirit[i])
        set i=i+1
    endloop
    call BJDebugMsg(I2S(CountUnitsInGroup(g))
endfunction

I know the unit is there because it will display the unit's name, but still returns 0 in the unitgroup.

The)TideHunter(	It cant be those functions you shown us, they work fine for me. Maybe you have something else? whats crashing the thread?

The_AwaKening	Ya, I know the functions are ok, I'm just wondering what would keep a unit from grouping. The thread doesn't crash. I have another trigger that loops about 20 times and never crashes, but never returns a unit in the group for me.

PipeDream	Locust has this effect.

I wondered about that one, but can't find that I have locust on the unit anywhere. In the object editor, I have ghost, and invulnerable, but these didn't cause problems before. I must be doing something to the unit in another trigger. Let me know if anything else comes to mind. Thanks

--edit
After doing more testing, I've found that all of my Triggers using GroupEnum are buggy now. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. What the hell.

Vexorian	Tried FirstOfGroup instead of CountUnitsInGroup?

The_AwaKening	Yes, FirstOfGroup was returning null. I'm not sure what happened, but for some reason, after a while, it will start working periodically. Most of the optimization I did that screwed it up somewhere was with cleaning up group leaks. I'm wondering if I may have mistakingly destroyed something or nullified something that I shouldn't have. Gonna take a break from it for a while, my eyes hurt.
