JASS - Not automatically starting

12-04-2007, 02:35 PM

Hi, I can't get this trigger to start itself. I've been at this for two to three days (since the site went down), and am no closer to figuring it out so here I am. I believe that using a public function with the name InitTrig would make it work, but it doesn't.

Also, I hope not, but it this related to my earlier thread http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthre...599#post978599?

JASS:

scope ItemPickup

globals
    integer array Item
    string array Model
endglobals

private function actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
    set Item[1] = 'I00O' //Move to a seperate trigger on map initialization.
    set Model[1] = "war3mapImported\\NSRPG_sword_waterblade.mdl" //Move to a seperate trigger on map initialization.
    call BJDebugMsg(GetItemName(GetManipulatedItem()))
    set i = i + 1
    loop
        if GetItemTypeId(GetManipulatedItem()) == Item[i] then
            call AddSpecialEffectTarget(Model[i], GetTriggerUnit(), "hand left")
        endif
    endloop
endfunction

public function InitTrig takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger trig = CreateTrigger()
    local integer i = 0 //Zero equals player 1 (red).
    loop //Checks for any unit picking up a item.
        call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(trig, Player(i), ConvertPlayerUnitEvent(49), null)
        set i = i + 1
        exitwhen i == 12 //Max number of players
    endloop
    call TriggerAddAction(trig, function actions)
endfunction

endscope

CommanderZ	You must have the trigger registered as trigger to make its init function start. You can do this by creating a trigger in WE, convert it to text and then you can put your code into its init function. Then it will start on init automatically. You cannot simply create a function and hope it will somehow trigger itself.

HINDYhat	The scope's name must be the same as the trigger's name.

Zandose	Sorry to say but, The Kingpin explained it best in my other thread. http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthre...t=97979&page=2
