Triggers Triggering Triggers (On/Off Flag Question)

[jedi8955]

Sorry for the weird topic post, I couldn't think of a more straight-forward way to get to my question

I'm working on a Wintermaul Wars-esque TD and I'd like to implement a trigger system where if someone does not summon creeps, the enemy side gains a portion of their income. It'll prevent people from amassing cash for upgrades and other nifty bonuses.

Here's kind of what I was thinking, but I'm not sure if the trigger system would bork this up or not.

• IncomeTimer
  • Events
    • Every 25.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Set Player 1 (red) Current Gold to ((Player 1 (Red) Current gold) + RedIncome_Int)
    • Player - Set Player 2 (Blue) Current Gold to ((Player 2 (Blue) Current gold) + BlueIncome_Int)
    • Run CreepPenalty_Red (checking conditions)
    • ;;There would be one of these for each player in the game
    • Wait 1.00 Seconds
    • Turn on CreepPenalty_Red

• CreepPenalty_Red
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Set Player 2 (Blue) Current gold to ((Player 2 (Blue) Current gold) + (RedIncome_Int / 2))

• CreepSpawn_Red
  • Events
    • A unit enters region RedCreeps
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Turn off CreepPenalty_Red
    • ;;other creep spawning actions here, unrelated to question

Basically, will a Turn off action stop a Run action from taking place, with conditions checked?

Oh, and I would love if there was a way to comment out code in the WC3 tag, the ;; was my attempt at doing so.

As always, thanks for any help with this

No, but you can use the action "Skip remaining actions"...

So, make an "If" in that trigger, and use the "Then" actions to do what you want, and in the "Else" field, put "Skip remaining actions"

There isn't...
But there are comments in GUI, just use them

Oh, cool. So instead of when a creep spawns it turns off a trigger, I'll have it set a variable to 0, default 1, then if variable = 1, it'll run the extra code. Go go binary

Oh yeah, I've used those a bit. Should use them more, but I have like a 25 page design document accompanying the map

I was hoping for something to use on the forums here.

Thanks a bunch for your help =)
