Disconnect..

This is my trigger to revive heroes.

ReviveHero
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
(Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Not equal to Low Quality Battleship
(Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Not equal to Superior Battleship
(Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Not equal to Unique Battleship
Actions
Player - Add (((Owner of (Dying unit)) Current gold) / -8) to (Owner of (Killing unit)) Current gold
Game - Display to (All players) the text: (PlayerColors[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] + ((Name of (Owner of (Dying unit))) + (|r + ( lost + ((String((((Owner of (Dying unit)) Current gold) / 8))) + ( because he died... + ( he will revive in + ((String((4 x (Hero level of (Dying unit))
Wait (4.00 x (Real((Hero level of (Triggering unit))))) game-time seconds
Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of Hero Spawn <gen>), Show revival graphics
Camera - Pan camera as necessary for (Owner of (Dying unit)) to (Center of Hero Spawn <gen>) over 1.50 seconds

It works great... if I'm alone. I tried my map with the other computer through LAN and when his hero died the text showed but when the revive revived the other computer gets "You were disconnected".

The disconnect happens when Hero - Instantly revive [...]

Anyone can find out why?

This trigger is far too simple for what you want to do.

Wait (4.00 x (Real((Hero level of (Triggering unit))))) game-time seconds

After a wait like that, there is no more 'Dying unit'. Hes dead and gone.

Did you check the Hero revive code on the tutorial site??? Someone else did it so I never tested it.

1. You may need a local 'unit' variable to store the hero.

2. You should use polled waits.

3. WC3 can only do so many waits at one time, you may want to use a timer instead.

I tried the Hero Revival on your site but I didn't figure out how to do it...

1. Explain, if you have time, please.
2. Polled waits?
3. I didn't want the screen cluttered with timers, thats why I used simple text and wait.

You can use timers without a window!

Polled wait is 'Wait game time seconds'.

Local variables are complicated, but covered in the tutorial.

What I'm using IS a polled wait then.
Wait (4.00 x (Real((Hero level of (Dying unit))))) game-time seconds

I'll try a few things with the timers then.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Well try the polled wait first.

Using timers is hard because, it is difficult to make a second trigger for when it expires, and still carry over ' triggering unit' and whatnot. So again, try the polled waits.

And change 'dying unit' to triggering unit. That may fix your revival line.

Ok.. working on it. If I don't get anything to work I'll post later.

Countdown Timer - Start (Create a periodic One-shot timer lasting 30.00) as a
One-shot timer that will expire in x seconds

How do you do this? the - Start (Create...) ?
