keeping track of data

[doin]

is it possible to keep track of an amount of data per unit without having to create a sh**load of variables, if so, how plz...
I think it has something to do with structs, but for some reason, everytime I try to use them, the game doesn't start, so if someone would post an examlory code from the first 'till the last line from the trigger, I'd be happy...

this is the last code I tried it with
Header

struct test
    integer a=4
    integer b=2
    integer sum
endstruct

trigger itself

function Trig_Structtest_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local test a = test.create()
    set a.sum = a.a + a.b
    set uitkomst = I2S(a.sum)
    call test.destroy()
endfunction

//===========================================================================
local string uitkomst
function InitTrig_Structtest takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Structtest = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Structtest, function Trig_Structtest_Actions )
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0),0,0,uitkomst)
endfunction

feel free to correct me if anything is wrong

//===========================================================================
local string uitkomst
function InitTrig_Struc

here is a small error. It needs to be

globals
   string uitkomst
endglobals

next, the display would have been called before the other action would have even started. You'll need to invoke the DisplayTextToPlayer() function after setting the uitkomst string, so straight before the struct destruction might be a good place to call it.

hth, davey

 

[doin]

still won't work, when I save, and it compiles, it gives the error" line XX, test is not of a type that allows . syntax"

where did you declare test as struct?
/edit: i see

call test.destroy()


->

call a.destroy()

destroy is non-static

 

[Gwypaas]

Which version of JassHelper are you using?

 

[Viikuna]

Try

call a.destroy()

instead of

call test.destroy()

Edit. Damn, I was too slow

 

[doin]

still won't work, updated code is

function Trig_Structtest_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local test a = test.create()
    set a.sum = a.a + a.b
    set uitkomst = I2S(a.sum)
endfunction


//===========================================================================
globals
    string uitkomst
endglobals
function InitTrig_Structtest takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Structtest = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Structtest, function Trig_Structtest_Actions )
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0),0,0,uitkomst)
    call a.destroy()
endfunction

and the struct declaration is still in the custom script part of Newgen

 

[Viikuna]

EDIT. Oh I see know what you are going to do.

you need to have a global struct

local test a cant be used outside of its own function.

EDIT. or destroy that struct inside Trig_Structtest_Actions function

 

[doin]

still get the start-up screen when I try to test...
EDIT:correct???

globals
    struct test
        integer a=4
        integer b=2
        integer sum
    endstruct
endglobals

function Trig_Structtest_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    test a = test.create()
    set a.sum = a.a + a.b
    set uitkomst = I2S(a.sum)
endfunction


//===========================================================================
globals
    string uitkomst
endglobals
function InitTrig_Structtest takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Structtest = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Structtest, function Trig_Structtest_Actions )
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0),0,0,uitkomst)
    call a.destroy()
endfunction

 

[Larcenist]

function Trig_Structtest_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    test a = test.create()
    set a.sum = a.a + a.b
    set uitkomst = I2S(a.sum)
endfunction


//===========================================================================
globals
    string uitkomst
endglobals
function InitTrig_Structtest takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Structtest = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Structtest, function Trig_Structtest_Actions )
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0),0,0,uitkomst)
    call a.destroy()
endfunction

Should be:

globals
    string uitkomst
endglobals

function Trig_Structtest_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    test a = test.create()
    set a.sum = a.a + a.b
    set uitkomst = I2S(a.sum)
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0),0,0,uitkomst)
    call a.destroy()
endfunction


//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Structtest takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Structtest = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Structtest, function Trig_Structtest_Actions )
endfunction

 

[doin]

and yet again I get the startup screen, if someone would do me the pleasure of creating the working code inside a map, then I would be able to compare that one and mine and come back to say what was wrong, if it isn't too much an effort.

 

[Larcenist]

Are you saving before testing? Note that you can't even scroll through the code after saving, then you have to save again.

 

[doin]

yes, I save before I test.

 

[Larcenist]

Try saving twice and then instantly hit the Test Map button without doing anything in between.

 

[doin]

doesn't help, I get a syntax error on the line with

test a = test.create()

how come??

 

[SerraAvenger]

globals
struct test
integer a=4
integer b=2
integer sum
endstruct
endglobals

kill the "global"-tags around this.

struct test
    integer a=4
    integer b=2
    integer sum
endstruct

 

[Gwypaas]

Which version of JassHelper do you use?

 

[Larcenist]

    test a = test.create()

Should be

    local test a = test.create()

 

[doin]

that did the trick, thx guys
EDIT: The map runs now, but it won't show the value stored in sum, or any other string if I try to use another one... Help me plz, growing a bit tired of this.

 

[Larcenist]

You need to add some sort of event in your Init function. Maybe

call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent(gg_trg_Structtest, Player(0), "-test", true)

That registers the event "Player 1 (red) types chat message -test as an exact match".
