Half Activating Trigger

[jhnam95]

I tried making a stamina system like in Diablo and it works for the most part. But for some reason, it works half the time. When it's "walking" it gains the stamina properly but when it's "running" the trigger doesn't run. It doesn't run every .25 seconds as it should and it runs irregularly, sometimes triggering after 10 seconds and sometimes triggering 4 times (as it should) in a single second (those 2 values are the extremes though, and it's usually not like that. It's usually around twice each second).

I don't know what's wrong since half works perfectly and the other half runs very irregularly.

Here's the trigger. If unit toggles "run" on, then the boolean is set true and if it's set off, then the boolean sets false. The game messages were so I could tell how fast the trigger was running.

You have a wait action in the loop.

The loop uses a global variable (Integer A) to keep track of the loop's data. But this data can be overwritten during the wait since it's a global variable you're using. This is why it seems to run "irregular" because other triggers in your map (presumably even the same trigger) are interfering with your trigger.

I've written a tutorial on how to fix loops with waits here.
