to test what i have learned about scripting and cscache, i have tried to replicate the dota-allstars ability "morph" i created a unit that has an ability based on essence of blight, and replenish. now i have these scripts.  JASS:function Trig_morph_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean if ( not ( GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'Hamg' ) ) then return false endif return true endfunction function Trig_morph_Actions takes nothing returns nothing local unit t = GetTriggerUnit() local string morphstr local string morphagi local timer morphtimer = CreateTimer() if ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishlifeon") ) ) then call AttachBoolean(t, morphstr, true) call AttachBoolean(t, morphagi, false) elseif ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishmanaon") ) ) then call AttachBoolean(t, morphstr, false) call AttachBoolean(t, morphagi, true) elseif ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishmanaoff") ) ) then call AttachBoolean(t, morphstr, false) call AttachBoolean(t, morphagi, false) elseif ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishmanaoff") ) ) then call AttachBoolean(t, morphstr, false) call AttachBoolean(t, morphagi, false) endif set t = null set morphstr = null set morphagi = null set morphtimer = null endfunction //=========================================================================== function InitTrig_morph takes nothing returns nothing set gg_trg_morph = CreateTrigger( ) call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_morph, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_ORDER ) call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_morph, Condition( function Trig_morph_Conditions ) ) call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_morph, function Trig_morph_Actions ) endfunction this script works fine as far as i know. but i dont know how to actually return the boolean i stored. i tried this JASS:if ( not ( GetAttachedBoolean(GetTriggerUnit(), morphagi) == true ) ) then call DisplayTimedTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), 30, "agility" ) endif but it gets a syntax error. how to i properly return the stored variable? thanks in advance. a econd question, is there some tutorial for effectively using cscache? |

I would say you are doing everything wrong. You are not initializing the strings. I think that you got the stuff wrong, badly. I think that this is what you want to do: JASS:function Trig_morph_Actions takes nothing returns nothing local unit t = GetTriggerUnit() local timer morphtimer = CreateTimer() if ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishlifeon") ) ) then call AttachBoolean(t, "morphstr", true) call AttachBoolean(t, "morphagi", false) elseif ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishmanaon") ) ) then call AttachBoolean(t, "morphstr", false) call AttachBoolean(t, "morphagi", true) elseif ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishmanaoff") ) ) then call AttachBoolean(t, "morphstr", false) call AttachBoolean(t, "morphagi", false) elseif ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishmanaoff") ) ) then call AttachBoolean(t, "morphstr", false) call AttachBoolean(t, "morphagi", false) endif set t = null endfunction And then: JASS:if ( not ( GetAttachedBoolean(GetTriggerUnit(), "morphagi" ) == true ) ) then call DisplayTimedTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), 30, "agility" ) endif |

well, after toying with the script for a bit, i decided booleans wouldnt be the way to go. here is my current script for the spell. JASS:function Trig_morph_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean if ( not ( GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'Hamg' ) ) then return false endif return true endfunction function morphstrcancel_conditions takes nothing returns boolean if ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishlifeoff") ) ) then return true endif if ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishmanaon") ) ) then return true endif return false endfunction function morphagicancel_conditions takes nothing returns boolean if ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishlifeon") ) ) then return true endif if ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishmanaoff") ) ) then return true endif return false endfunction function morphstrcancel_actions takes nothing returns nothing call PauseTimer( GetAttachedTimer(GetTriggeringTrigger(), "morphtimer")) call DestroyTimer( GetAttachedTimer(GetTriggeringTrigger(), "morphtimer")) call DestroyTrigger( GetAttachedTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger(), "morphstr")) call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() ) endfunction function morphagicancel_actions takes nothing returns nothing call PauseTimer( GetAttachedTimer(GetTriggeringTrigger(), "morphtimer")) call DestroyTimer( GetAttachedTimer(GetTriggeringTrigger(), "morphtimer")) call DestroyTrigger( GetAttachedTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger(), "morphagi")) call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() ) endfunction function morphstrloop takes nothing returns nothing call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), "TRIGSTR_035" ) endfunction function morphagiloop takes nothing returns nothing call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), "TRIGSTR_034" ) endfunction function Trig_morph_Actions takes nothing returns nothing local unit m = GetTriggerUnit() local timer morphtimer local trigger morphstrcancel local trigger morphagicancel local trigger morphstr local trigger morphagi if ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishlifeon") ) then set morphtimer = CreateTimer( ) call StartTimerBJ( morphtimer, true, 1.00 ) set morphstrcancel = CreateTrigger( ) call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( morphstrcancel, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_ORDER ) call TriggerAddCondition( morphstrcancel, Condition( function morphstrcancel_conditions ) ) call TriggerAddAction( morphstrcancel, function morphstrcancel_actions ) set morphstr = CreateTrigger( ) call AttachObject(morphstrcancel, "morphstr", morphstr) call AttachObject(morphstrcancel, "morphtimer", morphtimer) call TriggerRegisterTimerExpireEvent( morphstr, ( GetAttachedTimer(morphstrcancel, "morphtimer")) ) endif if ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == String2OrderIdBJ("replenishmanaon") ) then set morphtimer = CreateTimer( ) call StartTimerBJ( morphtimer, true, 1.00 ) set morphagicancel = CreateTrigger( ) call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( morphagicancel, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_ORDER ) call TriggerAddCondition( morphagicancel, Condition( function morphagicancel_conditions ) ) call TriggerAddAction( morphagicancel, function morphagicancel_actions ) set morphagi = CreateTrigger( ) call AttachObject(morphagicancel, "morphagi", morphagi) call AttachObject(morphagicancel, "morphtimer", morphtimer) call TriggerRegisterTimerExpireEvent( morphagi, ( GetAttachedTimer(morphagicancel, "morphtimer")) ) endif set morphtimer = null set morphstrcancel = null set morphagicancel = null set morphstr = null set morphagi = null set m = null endfunction //=========================================================================== function InitTrig_morph takes nothing returns nothing set gg_trg_morph = CreateTrigger( ) call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_morph, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_ORDER ) call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_morph, Condition( function Trig_morph_Conditions ) ) call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_morph, function Trig_morph_Actions ) endfunction what i am trying to do, is when the unit is ordered to turn the autocast on on its abilities, it is to start a loop that is ended when the autocast is turned off, or another autocast turned on. if you are familiar with the dota-allstars ability "morph" this should make more sense. any help would be appreciated. i just read the jass tutorials a few days ago, and i could use a little clarification on how i might be using the cache system wrong. |
