When is 0.00 > 0.00?

07-29-2007, 12:21 AM

I'm trying to avoid creating/destroying new timers every time this function runs, so I'm just pausing it, telling it to run a null function on a 0.00 second callback, and then pausing it again in order to clear the time remaining.

However, this function will display the remaining time as 0.00 but still display the "Un-Slept" message... Why? Is it because of Wc3's floating point and the time remaining is really something like 0.000001?

JASS:

function CSF_UnSlept takes nothing returns boolean
    local unit U = GetTriggerUnit()
    local string UTable = GetAttachmentTable(U)
    local timer T = GetTableTimer(UTable, "CSF Unit Timer")

    call BJDebugMsg(R2S(TimerGetRemaining(T)))
    if TimerGetRemaining(T) > 0.00 and GetUnitTypeId(GetEventDamageSource()) != CSF_DummyUnitId() then
        call SetTableBoolean(UTable, "CSF Short Duration", false)
        call PauseTimer(T)
        call TimerStart(T, 0.00, false, null)
        call PauseTimer(T)
        call BJDebugMsg("Un-slept")
        call ExecuteFunc("CSF_UnSleptExecute")
    endif

    set U = null
    set T = null
    return false
endfunction

TheSecretArts	try display time remaining or maybe the timer has to run if its called.

TheSecretArts	i think that the timer has to run once and thus time remaining is forced over 0

Woah. Weird, funky bug! If you pause the timer before calling a TimerStart(), it keeps its previous elapsed time even after it expires on the new function. If you do not pause it, the new elapsed time becomes 0.

JASS:

function CSF_UnsleepDummyFunc takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg("Expired")
    call PauseTimer(GetExpiredTimer())
endfunction

function CSF_UnSleptExecute takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg("Attacker: "+GetUnitName(GetEventDamageSource())+"; Damage: "+R2S(GetEventDamage()))
endfunction

function CSF_UnSlept takes nothing returns boolean
    local unit U = GetTriggerUnit()
    local string UTable = GetAttachmentTable(U)
    local timer T = GetTableTimer(UTable, "CSF Unit Timer")

    call BJDebugMsg(R2S(TimerGetRemaining(T)))
    if TimerGetRemaining(T) > 0.00 and GetUnitTypeId(GetEventDamageSource()) != CSF_DummyUnitId() then
        call SetTableBoolean(UTable, "CSF Short Duration", false)
//        call PauseTimer(T)
        call TimerStart(T, 0.01, false, function CSF_UnsleepDummyFunc)
        call BJDebugMsg("Un-slept")
        call ExecuteFunc("CSF_UnSleptExecute")
    endif

    set U = null
    set T = null
    return false
endfunction

Either way, the message "Expired" shows up, but the elapsed time is different depending on if you pause it or not before calling the TimerStart().

this is soo damn easy... call timer 0.00 store timer remaining and declare it as ZERO

Quote:

call TimerStart(T, 0.00, false, null)
...
set Ex_ZERO_OF_TIMER = TimerGetRemaining(T)

after it

if TimerGetRemaining(T) > 0.00 Ex_ZERO_OF_TIMER

Pyrogasm	I really don't understand what you're saying.
