Expiration timer Problem

[Kokojo]

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 :-(

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Changes Owner

• Conditions

• 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....

• 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 using a timer other than generic.

 

[Kokojo]

Well Il be damned, nothing, nothing works!

I am completly out of ideas :-(...

Try changing the 'change ownership unit" to "triggering unit"

 

[Kokojo]

Try changing the 'change ownership unit" to "triggering unit"

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:

• 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.

Woa thanks a lot, it works!

I cannot say thanks enought ^^
