I am having a weird problem. For some reason game messages don't display in game. I use those triggers:

Game - Display to (All Players) the text: Is this thing on?

For some reason the game does not display the message. It is timed 20 seconds after map initialisation. Any ideas how to fix it?

P.S. I also have a variable which is a Player Group variable.

Your event is Time-Time elapsed in game is 20.00 seconds?

 

[Cloud_FF]

No.

Game Initialisation > Wait 20.00 seconds > Game - Display to (All Players) the text: Is this thing on?

In some cases the Game text message is triggered by an event such as:

Event:
Unit Dies

Condition:
Unit - Unit-type of (triggering unit) equal to Enemy

Action:
Set RandomInteger = (Random integern mnumber between 1 and 200)
If (All action are True) then do (Then Action) else do (Else Actions)
   If - Conditions
      RandomInteger Equal to 1
   Then - Actions
      Game - Display to (All players) the text: One in 200!
   Else - Actions
      Do nothing

You know.. having like 0.50% chance for something to happen when an unit dies.. very unlikely that it'll happen .

Instead, you could do this:

Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Random integer number between 1 and 200)

I have no idea what your trigger is for, though?

 

[Cloud_FF]

The 1 in 200 is the action according to which the game message has 1 in 200 to be shown. I know that it's a low number. It is intended so. Most other triggers use 1 in 5000 not in 200. The point is that the actions do not display text messages in game.

I've had troubles with that action in the past. The (All Players) never displayed the text, so I tried a different way.

Actions
    For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Game - Display to (Player group((Player((Integer A))))) the text: One in 200!

Hope this helps.

So what you mean is...that I use a variable which uses all players instead of the (All Players)?

Did you happen to destroy any 'Allplayers'?

Set Temp_Force = (All player)
-[I]Actions[/I]-
call DestroyForce (udg_Temp_Force)

If so, 'All players' do not leak, you don't have to destroy it. Once destroyed, it's no longer in existence. That's why it can display to 'no players' even though you displayed it to 'All players'.

 

[Cloud_FF]

Thanks. I don't think I'll need to destroy it, because this is a constant factor and ...eh well for safety I'll destroy it. Thanks

 

[Cloud_FF]

BTW what is the variable type?

 

[vypur85]

Not sure what you mean? I hope you mean that you're not supposed to destroy it. 'All player' doesn't leak. So, I'll assume that was indeed your problem why the message did not display.

Edit:
No... You're NOT supposed to destroy 'All player'. I was asking whether did you destroyed it? It could be the reason why the message didn't display. If you didn't destroy it, then it's fine, the problem wasn't caused by this.

Anyway, it's a 'Player' variable.

Edit:
Sorry... Should be 'Player group' variable.

 

[Cloud_FF]

Ah. Right. K. Tanks.

P.S. You can't set a Player Variable to (All Players) so the trigger can't be created : /

Edit: Ok, will try again

 

[Cloud_FF]

Still doesn't work. I used the Player Group variable, nothing. Any other suggestions someone?

 

[Razed]

I'm just hear to tell you that you shouldn't double post twice in the same thread...

 

[Cloud_FF]

I've double posted in the same thread? Hm? Where?

 

[AceHart]

Several times actually...


Well, did you destroy "all players" or not somewhere?
If yes, don't!

 

[Cloud_FF]

I still fail to see where I repeat...anyway, no I don't destroy it.

P.S. Ok I see where I repeat myself...lol I spent 3 hours making the thread because I'm doing a lot of things Didn't even check if anything was repeating lol.
