Expiration timer Problem

Hello everyone!

I am making a map, and I have a simple trigger going on, that crashes warcraft III.

Basicly, I am making a one-tower defence game. (8 players, each with their fully flexible but non-moving tower, must defend a generic castle) In this, there is a ''Charm'' tower. I want the unit to be charmed for 60 seconds, be fully healed and to be faster (that's done). However, I want it to expire after 60 seconds (the unit dies). When I try to add that, WC III crashes, thought :-(

Trigger:
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Changes Owner


Trigger:
  • Conditions


Trigger:
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add buff to (Ownership changed unit)
    • Unit - Set life of (Ownership changed) unit to 100%
    • Unit - Set mana of (Ownership changed) unit to 100%
    • Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Ownership changed unit)


Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Ownership changed unit)
This gives me a crash...
Any ideas/fixes?

Try setting ownership changed unit = a unit variable, and using the expiration timer on the variable.

Mmm sorry to be a bore, but I quite don't know how to use variables quite effectively. What kind of variable should I use, and how? (Sorry, I just really don't get it)

unit variable, press Ctrl + B in the trigger editor to bring up Variable Editor....
Trigger:
  • actions
    • Set ChangeUnit = (Triggering Unit)
      • Unit - Add buff to (ChangeUnit)
      • Unit - Set life of (ChangeUnit) unit to 100%
      • Unit - Set mana of (ChangeUnit) unit to 100%
      • Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to (ChangeUnit)
      • Custom script: set udg_ChangeUnit = null

What he said, sorry I didn't reply back earlier.
You'd use a unit variable.

Thanks for the trigger, but I still get a crash. I am really wondering what's going wrong.
Here is the error :

Exeption 0xC0000005 (ACESS_VIOLATION)

The instruiction at '0x6F2D78CE' referenced memory at '0x000002D0'
This memory could not be 'written'.

Still trying to find a solution... am I missing something here?
Thanks again!

Try changing the 'change ownership unit" to "triggering unit"
Click to expand...

I tried that with all summon type combination, with no positive results. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Anything I could do to work that bug out?

Looks like this is a WC3 bug...

However, this works:
Trigger:
  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Changes owner
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Wait 0.00 seconds
      • Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Triggering unit)

...and is MUI due to use of Triggering Unit.

    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.
