Question on triggers

04-17-2007, 12:44 AM

Would my local trigger run everytime the event happens when i do this?

JASS:

function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A003'
endfunction

function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()

    call TriggerRegisterUnitEvent( t, GetSpellAbilityUnit(), EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Effect )
    
    set t = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Guarding_Angel takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Guarding_Angel = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Guarding_Angel, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Guarding_Angel, Condition( function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Guarding_Angel, function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Actions )
endfunction

Joker	Your just creating a timer. How would that stop the trigger? Mezzer said my local trigger would run everytime the event occured.

akolyt0r	damn i cant READ this one should work (if you want Trig_Guarding_Angel_Effect to run only once) JASS: function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Effect takes nothing returns nothing call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger()) //do stuff endfunction if you want Trig_Guarding_Angel_Effect more often things get more complicated ..(you would need a global variable (not MUI) or gamecache or ... )

Joker	Would it work if i start a timer and destroy the trigger after the timer expires so that it would run more than once? Edit: Another Question: Is it better to not use the InitTrig_Name?

let me think ....
i think it would work ..somehow..but ..you might want to ask one of the other "more advanced" guys her too...

EDIT2:IGNORE THIS!:

JASS:

function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Effect takes nothing returns nothing
local timer t=GetExpiredTimer()
//if t!=null then
//    call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())
//    call PauseTimer(t)
//    call DestroyTimer(t)
//    return
//endif
//
//Do Stuff
endfunction

function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    local timer T=CreateTimer()
    call TriggerRegisterUnitEvent( t, GetSpellAbilityUnit(), EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Effect )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle(t,3.0)
    set t = null
    set T = null
endfunction

EDIT: i tried it, but i get a war3critical error when the unit is damaged...
EDIT2: found the error ,,cant be fixed -.-

I was thinking more like this:

JASS:

function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A003'
endfunction

function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Effect takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetUnitState( GetDamagedUnit(), UNIT_STATE_LIFE, GetUnitState( GetDamagedUnit(), UNIT_STATE_LIFE ) + GetEventDamage() )
    //some game cache storing the damage to heal
    call PolledWait(15)
    call TriggerRemoveAction( Trig_Guarding_Angel_Actions )
endfunction

function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()

    call TriggerRegisterUnitEvent( t, GetSpellAbilityUnit(), EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Effect )
    
    set t = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Guarding_Angel takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Guarding_Angel = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Guarding_Angel, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Guarding_Angel, Condition( function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Guarding_Angel, function Trig_Guarding_Angel_Actions )
endfunction

would this work?

akolyt0r	then dont give me the idea you want a timer -.-" WRONG JASS: ...WRONG WRONG

04-18-2007, 09:43 PM	#11
Joker	About the timers...I was going to make one, but then i remembered PolledWait did the same thing so i just used it. And i want the spell casted once like the cooldown would be higher than my PolledWait if thats what you mean

akolyt0r	only once during the whole game ?? or how many hits should this spell "absorb" ?? JASS: call SetUnitState( GetDamagedUnit(), UNIT_STATE_LIFE, GetUnitState( GetDamagedUnit(), UNIT_STATE_LIFE ) + GetEventDamage() ) //use GetTriggerUnit() here

04-19-2007, 08:42 PM	#13
Joker	It should absorb until the wait is up
