Something odd is happening when I move a region

04-02-2007, 05:52 PM

At the start of the map I set Region1 to variable Regions[1]. Then when a unit walks to a different region, that teleports the unit, moves the camera and sets a preplaced unit as Unit[1]. After the unit is set, I use Region - Move Region to move the region to Unit[1].

Now this is the part that is not working. Region[1] is a region that starts a dialog. I've tested the region before it moves and it starts the dialog, but not after it's moved. There is a If/Then/Else that is part of the dialog trigger, but in the Then and Else section I put something to test if that is the problem, but it's not.

Then I double checked to see if the region really moved, so I made it center on the region after the region is moved, but again that's not it.

Any ideas?

The world editor is a pile of junk in some ways.
You see, there are actually 2 types of regions:
Rects (what you place in the editor. Rectangles)
and Regions (more complex shapes made of lots of rects)

JASS:

function TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple takes trigger trig,rect r returns event
    local region rectRegion = CreateRegion()
    call RegionAddRect(rectRegion, r)
    return TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(trig, rectRegion, null)
endfunction

That is the function that is called to register a "unit enters region" event. It takes a rect (the thing you place in the editor), adds it to a local region, and registers a unit enters region event.

So, when you move the rect you created, you don't move the region. So the region that was created stays in the same place.

BattleBotv8.2	Sorry for reviving a old topic but I keep forgetting to check on the ones I create. I don't understand what I have to do.
