Creep agro

Hi I made this trigger to replicate DotA's creep agro system (or they didn't triggered it), here's what the system does, if a unit attacks a hero (or even just issued an order to attack a hero) allied units within 500 range of the attacked hero will be ordered to attack the attacking unit, then a 2 second non periodic timer starts, that when expired, it orders back the picked unit to its last order (I used last order system) so that it will go back to its lane.

I'm not sure if DotA triggered it or not. I already tried changing the value of Stats - Priorities on heroes, and still didn't have the same effect.

My trigger has no compile error, but it does crash warcraft after some hero attacks.
JASS:
scope CreepAgro initializer init

private struct data
    group e
endstruct

private function tick takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
    local data d = GetTimerData(t)
    local unit u
    loop
        set u = FirstOfGroup(d.e)
        exitwhen u == null
        call IssueSecondLastOrder(u)
        call GroupRemoveUnit(d.e,u)
    endloop
    call ReleaseGroup(d.e)
    call ReleaseTimer(t)
    call d.destroy()
    set t = null
    set u = null
endfunction

private function con takes nothing returns boolean
    return IsUnitType(GetOrderTargetUnit(),UNIT_TYPE_HERO) and not IsUnitIllusion(GetOrderTargetUnit()) and GetIssuedOrderId() == 851983
endfunction

private function filter takes nothing returns boolean
    return IsUnitAlly(GetFilterUnit(),GetOwningPlayer(GetOrderTargetUnit())) and not IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(),UNIT_TYPE_HERO)
endfunction

private function act takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = NewTimer()
    local data d = data.create()
    local unit trg = GetTriggerUnit()
    local group g = NewGroup()
    local unit u
    set d.e = NewGroup()
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g,GetUnitX(trg),GetUnitY(trg),500.0,null)
    loop
        set u = FirstOfGroup(g)
        exitwhen u == null
        call IssueTargetOrder(u,"attack",trg)
        call GroupAddUnit(d.e,u)
        call GroupRemoveUnit(g,u)
    endloop
    call ReleaseGroup(g)
    call TimerStart(t,2.0,false,function tick)
    call SetTimerData(t,d)
    set g = null
    set trg = null
    set t = null
    set u = null
endfunction

really need the trigger in my map, thanks

Infinite loop?

It runs off a issued target order and you give a unit another order, try disabling the trigger and then enabling it back again when it's done.

ok I changed some conditions to avoid infinite loops, but the main problem for now is, I cant reorder the creeps with its second last order, or their last order, they just sit there and stand by after the 2 second timer is out

JASS:
scope CreepAgro initializer init

private struct data
    group e
endstruct

private function tick takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
    local data d = GetTimerData(t)
    local unit u
    loop
        set u = FirstOfGroup(d.e)
        exitwhen u == null
        call IssueLastOrder(u)
        call GroupRemoveUnit(d.e,u)
    endloop
    call ReleaseGroup(d.e)
    call ReleaseTimer(t)
    call d.destroy()
    set t = null
    set u = null
endfunction

private function con takes nothing returns boolean
    return IsUnitType(GetOrderTargetUnit(),UNIT_TYPE_HERO) and IsUnitType(GetTriggerUnit(),UNIT_TYPE_HERO) and not IsUnitIllusion(GetOrderTargetUnit()) and GetIssuedOrderId() == 851983

(I used last order system)

Kingking learn to read, he already said he uses it and from his function name it's pretty obvious.
JASS:
call TimerStart(t,2.0,false,function tick)
    call SetTimerData(t,d)

Shouldn't it be the other way round?

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
