Snippet How To: Avoid Infinite Loops in GUI

[Vicboy]

• Order Loop
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit Group - Order (Units in (Playable map area)) to Move To (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

That's it.

.....

There is no documention and this is such a short and useless snippet.

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

It's intelligent but really, it misses explantion and documentation.

Oh and there's several other types of loop...

 

[Weep]

Wow, that's really simple. Why didn't I think of that?

Does it really work? No MUI-related problems if a legitimate event happens while that's executing?

@wraithseeker: maybe, but (assuming it really works) it's one of those little useful tidbits to know...

This isn't a snippet, it's far from being a tutorial, and it's sure as hell not a system.

Graveyard please.

• Unit Group - Order (Units in (Playable map area)) to Move To (Center of (Playable map area))

This would already work weird for maps..

Common sense.

This is a very good snippet. That is also very useful when u deal damage to a unit many times and can be overwriten if there are no Turn off and Turn on trigger actions... But this snippet could use some more information. Something like this:

1) What does it do
2) Where can it be used
3) Why is this useful
4) Add some examples where it is useful and many more

This is the worst thing ever :nuts: .
Here's my "How To: Avoid Infinite Loops In GUI" 'snippet':

• UnitLoop
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Human Priest - Inner Fire (Triggering unit)
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

• PointLoop
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

• NoLoop
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

That's it.

Already mine is better.
I think I'll post it ...

The real problem is it's valid but if people had an infinite loop issue like this, they'd post in world editor help about it, not wonder if there's a resource explaining where they went wrong. So I'd have to say graveyard this. o.o
