[Laiev]

[esb]

Could be done in one trigger.

 

[Carnerox]

I'd rather use this for the Trigger. :|

scope Clock initializer init

    globals
        private constant playerstate seconds = PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_FOOD_USED
        private constant playerstate minutes = PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_LUMBER
    endglobals
    
    private function SecondAction takes nothing returns nothing
        local player p = GetEnumPlayer()
        call SetPlayerState( p, seconds, GetPlayerState(p, seconds) +1 )
        set p=null
    endfunction
    
    private function Second takes nothing returns nothing
        call ForForce( bj_FORCE_ALL_PLAYERS, function SecondAction )
    endfunction

    private function MinuteAction takes nothing returns nothing
        local player p = GetEnumPlayer()
        call SetPlayerState( p, minutes, GetPlayerState(p, minutes) +1 )
        call SetPlayerState( p, seconds, 0 )
        set p=null
    endfunction
    
    private function Minute takes nothing returns nothing
        call ForForce( bj_FORCE_ALL_PLAYERS, function MinuteAction )
    endfunction

    //===========================================================================
    private function init takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger Seconds = CreateTrigger()
        local trigger Minutes = CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent( Seconds, 1.00, true )
        call TriggerAddAction( Seconds, function Second )
        //============================================\\
        call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent( Minutes, 60.00, true )
        call TriggerAddAction( Minutes, function Minute )
        set Seconds=null

Timed to graveyard this, we already have one.

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

And this leaks! It's not icone, it's icon.

 

[Laiev]

he is from portugal... it mean that he speak in portuguese, which icon = icone in portuguese and believe me, its very common people say icone instead of icon here

 

[Accname]

And this leaks! It's not icone, it's icon.

it doesnt leak. (All Players) does not leak a force.

 

[rexpim]

I will correct the icon mistake

 

[RangerX]

is there a way to remove that 100% in upkeap ?

 

[Laiev]

no... you can color it to a 'fade way'

 

[EvilMonkey]

little help

I've just started playing with the editor and I can't get my clock to work properly. I've made all the changes and the triggers, the clock works fine, but instead of having only seconds I have "seconds/6" like 1/6 2/6 ... The map is a dota template and I'm not sure how to get rid of that food issue since I don't know what's giving me 6 food.

I apologize if this wasn't the place I should have posted this.
