emjlr3 tutorial sez that if i do this custom script

and lastly, one good Custom Script to use is that when you have a trigger that will only run once, then is useless. In those cases, put this at the end of the trigger. It can greatly reduce lag in your maps.

Custom script:   call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() )

it will destroy that trigget but it is not working win i try to save i get that window saying that sum thing is wrong with the script

Custom script:   call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() )

so wut is the right script that duz this?

 

[Darthfett]

Works fine for me. Post your whole trigger? (Right-click and click "Copy as Text")

 

[YourFace]

in the part where it says
GetTrigger()), you need to put the name of the trigger you want to be destroyed
like GetTrigger(Untitled_trigger_04)
i dont do jass so im guessing

 

[CDR]

nm i tried it ones more and it worked i must of typed it in wrong
sry about that all

 

[TriggerHappy]

YourFace. You dont need to do that. He's using GetTriggeringTrigger() which i believe has no arguments.

reading that made me realize that you can destroy what ever trigger you would like right? I tried it like yourface suggested and that did not work

Custom script:   call DestroyTrigger( GetTrigger(player_1) )

so what is the script to do that?

Are you destroying the trigger from within itself, e.g.

Events
...
Conditions
...
Actions
   Custom script: call DestroyTrigger (ThisTrigger)

or, are you trying to destroy it from another trigger e.g.

Events
...
Conditions
...
Actions
   Custom script: call DestroyTrigger (ThatTriggerOverThere)

For the first, you can use GetTriggeringTrigger () i.e.

Custom script: call DestroyTrigger ( GetTriggeringTrigger () )

You can also use the option below if you want, both options work just fine when you want the trigger to destroy itself

For the second, you must prefix the name of the trigger being destroyed with gg_trg_ and replace any spaces with underscores i.e.

Custom script: call DestroyTrigger (gg_trg_Another_trigger)

That will destroy a trigger called "Another trigger" (without the quotation marks, obviously )

You shouldn't be destroying triggers anyway, so don't worry about it.

If they aren't running even once, why are they in your map? There isn't much point having a trigger in your map if it's not doing anything...

> It can greatly reduce lag in your maps.

That's an old wives' tale...
If this is the kind of help your map needs, I'd suggest you think it over... you're seriously doomed.

... about things like crappy spelling in tooltips and other descriptions.
Because if your map uses the same "style" as your posts, most of your players will start your map precisely once.

So 80% of the triggers in your map serve no purpose other than to decorate the trigger editor? I seriously doubt that you have more than 1000 triggers in your map, but even if you did it would not be necessary to destroy them.

[chopperpope]

why do you want to destroy a trigger?

have you ever tried just turning the trigger off?

turn OFF Untitled_trigger_04

for example.

After looking at your map, it seems that the spawning triggers for each unit type can be merged into one without too much trouble.

The archer spawn triggers could be replaced by something like this, for instance:

Spawn Archers
    Events
        Time - Every 20.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Current research level of Archer  for (Picked player)) Equal to 1
                        ((Picked player) Food used) Less than or equal to 100
                    Then - Actions
                        Set point = (Center of spawn_regions[(Player number of (Picked player))])
                        Unit - Create 1 units_night_elf[1] for (Picked player) at point facing Default building facing degrees
                        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_point)
                    Else - Actions

The spawn_regions variable is an array containing the spawning regions for each player. This might not be exactly equivalent - I am assuming you want archers to begin spawning once the player has researched "Archer".

Doing this for each unit type should save you something like 900 triggers.

I assume it is in the hope that you will take the hint and improve the standard of English in your posts.

 

[Chocobo]

The map has million of triggers that can be merged together.

 

[Linear88]

Agree. 1000 triggers are just WAY too much. Merge them.

 

[CDR]

ya i have. i just figured if you destroy the trigger the game would not have to look threw so meny triggers to finde the one that is going to run
