Hashtables and Timers Question

[Zealot]

So i have a trigger that does this.

• Countdown Timer - Start (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Tree_Hash) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds

And another trigger that does this.

• Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) + ((Elapsed time for (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Tree_Hash)) x 5.00))

But It doesn't work, am I using the hashtable wrong?

I assume you are.
You never showed us where you save anything in the hashtable, only how you are loading it.

So unless you have some other trigger where you actuall put something into the hashtable then yes, you are doing it wrong.

• Hashtable - Create a hashtable

• Set Tree_Hash = (Last created hashtable)

What is missing?

 

[Accname]

Let us see. You are:

1. Creating a hashtable
2. Attempting to load something from the hashtable

Yeah, seems like there is still something missing: Actually saving something to the hashtable.

Don't be smug, I'm not very knowledgeable about hashtables, how can I make it save a timer or what do I have to do?

How about this line of code:

• Hashtable - Save Handle OfSomeTimer as A of B in SomeHashTable

How about this line of code:

• Hashtable - Save Handle OfSomeTimer as A of B in SomeHashTable

Ok, but one more thing.

I have this, so it goes once for each player on the map, do hashtables leak?

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to (Player((Integer A)))
      • Then - Actions
        • Hashtable - Save Handle OfSleep_Timer as (Integer A) of 1 in Tree_Hash
        • Countdown Timer - Start (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Tree_Hash) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 25.00 seconds
      • Else - Actions
