Insane TriggeringProblem (not that insane :)) With MultiJumping..

[ZeldaFan]

So i made a "Throwing" Trigger based off Jump spell in assassin pack off wc3sear.ch.


Trigger picks every unit hero nonhostile in region and start the throwing to a defined region destination.

It works perfect with one unit, but with other units in, they all get the flying height to maximum and dont move except one.

So i decided to array all my throwing variables to point on the picked unit number (because throwing the same "moving loop" for each unit simulteanously caused the problem i thought) and no change whatsoever, it got worse really


Before i bore the site to tears with my sad GUI triggers Has anyone done something like this ? MultiThrowing on picked players from group

That would spare me at least 2 weeks of brainstorming and keyboard bashing with a hammer

can you post the trigger please?

I have to say im on the verge of having a workable solution.. So far all the units are getting tossed.. Problem is, starting 2 units, they make some kinda u-turn mid-air (Because i have 4 destination regions and had to pick a random one for each picked unit but the second one trumps the other it seems).

Lastly i cant remove trail special effects when there is more than 1 unit.

Anyway here are the original triggers from assassin pack

        Unit - Move JumpCaster instantly to JumpSecPoint, facing (Angle from JumpCasterPoint to JumpTargetPoint) degrees

        Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Thunder Clap

Basically i segmented the Base Jump (renamed ofc) to check if JumpLoop had already started.

I ve put a "For each units in region matching condition" loop in the JumpLoop trigger, which worked.

I still dont see how to make them arrive at different locations, nor how to remove their special effects.. Intricate loops here. I need some more finesse to deal with that :shades:


*Holy Moly* I made the random destinations work ! Now the trail special effects.. Cya in 6 months lol. I hope one of you comes up with a nice code to do the same cus my triggers look like Windows95 source

After dealing with a couple of other triggers i made the correct version for what i wanted. Just Create Arrays for your Units, StartingLocations of Units, Special Effects and make the whole thing roll in "INTEGER A" Type Loops..

Neat and simple

The problem was caused indeed by the Waiting functions so you have to separate your loops with those ones.
