Soul Ring

• Custom script: local real InitialMana

This creates a local variable to be used.

• Custom script: set InitialMana = GetUnitStateSwap(UNIT_STATE_MANA, GetTriggerUnit())

This sets the local variable to the unit's current MP.

• Custom script: set udg_TempReal = InitialMana

This sets the variable TempReal to the unit's MP before using the ring. We then use TempReal to compare with the unit's current MP.

Both TempReal and InitialMana are real variables.

How I write these conditions:

(Mana of (Triggering unit)) Greater than TempReal

(Mana of (Triggering unit)) Greater than (TempReal + 150.00)

You can find it under 'Real Comparison'

 

[GFreak45]

(Mana of (Triggering unit)) = Mana of Unit which you click and add Triggering unit to Unit

the other part TempReal and (TempReal + 150.00) are different, thats a variable in arithmetic,
arithmetic will show up as 0.00 + 0.00 and you can click each of these to change them 0.00 can be any real number up to the hundredth place, or any real variable/function (including another arithmetic function)... + can be a +, -, x, or / which is plus, minus, times, or divide. Basically making a math equation.

not sure how advanced you are, but i was bored and figured i would explain that in more depth... :/

Ok, thanks for the explanation.

Ok guys, finnally is working. This is the final Trigger. Thanks for helping

This is neither MUI nor MPI i hope you keep that in mind.

 

[Inflicted]

Many MUI solutions have already been offered.
If he does not use those, I am assuming he doesnt want it to be.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

I used locals for that purpose. If he doesn't need them, then fine.

 

[TzalDadok]

The thing is I don't really understand. How it would be the last trigger I published with local variables?

 

[GFreak45]

if the trigger runs twice within the same time-period as the wait it will overwrite the variable for the first one, basically like this:

• Example
  • Events
    • A unit dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set UnitTypeVariable = Unit type of dying unit
    • Wait 60 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 UnitTypeVariable at center of map

if 2 units die and both are different types of units, at the end of that wait the unit created will only be 1 type, because the variable was changed before the actions were completed, thats what locals fix, they are local to that trigger run, so it cant be overwritten by another trigger

 

[KaerfNomekop]

The way it is now, only one unit can use the Soul Ring at a time. If you used local variables, like in my example, then several units would be able to use Soul Rings without bugs.

i lil bit off topic, but doesn't dying unit survive waits too? so why owuld you want to place it in a unit varrible anyway when triggering unit works

As far as i know dying unit does not survive a wait. The only thing i know which does is everything starting with "triggering XXX".
But the event "a unit dies" got triggering unit == dying unit anyways.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

I'm pretty sure Dying Unit doesn't survive waits, since that little Event Response taught me to use Triggering Unit whenever possible. Triggering Unit is pretty much a local variable, and in many unit events it takes the place of other Event Responses. Therefore Triggering Unit > Dying Unit.

Also GFreak's trigger was just to demonstrate the SUI of the OP's usage of globals, as compared to the MUI of using locals.

 

[TzalDadok]

So, how it would be the last trigger I made with local variables?

even if it stays you would use a variable because it is a function call, variable checks are more efficient, in jass you start a lotta functions that are part of triggers like this:
[ljass]local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()[/ljass]
so that you dont have to spam the GetTriggerUnit() function (triggering unit function)
