Lesson 1: GUI "General" Functions

[IKilledKEnny]

Tonks forces do leak (all execpt "All Players" force) handle is ancestor of force, thus forces leaks.

> Sooda

-------- TempG = Nulled unit group --------
-------- TempP = Nulled location --------
-------- TempU = Nulled unit --------

I believe those explain what each variable is?

> Andrewgosu

I agree, but I thought of it as tutorial beucase the assignment involved comments. Don't worry, on regular triggers I don't take half of my time to write comments.

    -------- First we set the variable. --------
    Set UnitGroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
    -------- Then we pick a random unit. --------
    Set PickedUnit = (Random unit from UnitGroup)
    -------- And we tell it to move. --------
    Unit - Order PickedUnit to Move To (Center of Move Here Plz <gen>)
    -------- Next we color the little bugger. --------
    Unit - Change color of PickedUnit to Blue
    -------- Now we remove the variables. --------
    Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup)
    -------- Next we take a nap! :) --------
    Wait 1000000000.00 seconds

If i did that right, ill be surprised. I don't have so great of luck when it comes to triggers.

        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing Blue!!! as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Temp_Group = (Units in (Entire map))
        Set Temp_Unit = (Random unit from Unit_Group)
        Set Temp_Point = (Center of (Entire map))
        Unit - Change color of Temp_Unit to Blue
        -------- OR --------
        Animation - Change Temp_Unit's vertex coloring to (0.00%, 0.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
        -------- You should have told me which blue. o.o --------
        Unit - Move Temp_Unit instantly to Temp_Point
        Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Temp_Group)
        Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

You said to make it blue... not which kind of blue.. Make it look like if it was owned by player blue? Or just make the unit blue. Lol. I don't normally make triggers much(because I don't make maps... only edit when people ask for help), but when ever I do. I check if it has leaks(mainly only repeated ones).

Why are unit leaks in both, yours and the one you did, just simple point leaks? Is there no way to really remove udg_Temp_Unit? I thought it was a leak.. It seems if it isn't removed, it is overwritten, which I think is bad? o.o

In the Leak Checker, what does this mean:

 Location variable has not been removed: Temp_Unit
 Location variable has not been removed: Temp_Point

I always get it in all my triggers, but it tells me I have no memory leaks. o.o Just confuses me.

I don't think that the spaces matter in that case, but I'm not entirely positive. I'm not particularly Jass-savvy.
Could someone who knows about Jass please confirm / correct that statement?

JASS = Coding, thus, spaces don't matter.

There is one small problem, the "Center of Move Here Plz <gen>" leaks. You first need to set it to a variable:

set TempPoint = Center of Move Here Plz <gen>

Use it, then remove it:

Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

@Azylaminaz:
Nope, spaces don't matter... Well, at least in some cases, and I just know it won't syntax.

Anyways, Temp_Unit isn't a location variable, so it doesn't need to be removed... Temp_Point should be removed through "call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point)"

--------------------------------
*Off-Topic:I'm_On_56k's leak checker isn't that good, because it misses some leaks, but only catches obvious ones. If you need me to leak check some work, you can PM me them or post a new thread.
--------------------------------

Otherwise, I don't have a clue on what's the problem.

Here's my assignment for when you come back.

Assignment

    Conditions

        -------- I first will set my variables. --------
        -------- I will set the variable Temp_Group = Unit in (playable map area) so that I may remove it later to prevent a memory leak. --------
        Set Temp_Group = (Units in (Playable map area))
        -------- I will set my Temp_Unit(Unit variable) to (Random unit from Temp_Group which is (Units in (Playable map area)) to prevent a memory leak. --------
        Set Temp_Unit = (Random unit from Temp_Group)
        -------- I will set my point variable which is named Temp_Point to (Center of (Playable map area)) so that I may remove it so it would prevent a memory leak. --------
        Set Temp_Point = (Center of (Playable map area))
        -------- I will now change the color of my Temp_Unit in to the color Blue. --------
        Unit - Change color of Temp_Unit to Blue

Ok, I'm finished with mine; don't laugh, it's my first attempt at doing real triggers.

Ok, here it is.

Events
    Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
    ---- The UnitToBlueGroup variable is to set a unit group so I can choose a unit in this Unit Group later. ----
    Set UnitToBlueGroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
    ---- The UnitToBlue is simply the unit that is going to move and change color. ----
    Set UnitToBlue = (Random unit from UnitToBlueGroup)
    ---- UnitToBlueMove is the location where the newly "blued" unit is going to move to. ----
    Set UnitToBlueMove = (Center of Location <gen>)
    ---- Here the picked unit (The random unit in UnitToBlue) is changing its color to blue. ----
    Unit - Change color of UnitToBlue to (Color of Player 2 (Blue))
    ---- Here the unit is being ordered to the region/location, marked by the MUSHROOMS! ----
    Unit - Order UnitToBlue to Move To UnitToBlueMove
    ---- Here I am deleting the group variable to help reduce lag, if this map was signifigantly more laggy. ----
    Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitToBlueGroup)
    ---- Here I am also removing the location to prevent/reduce lag. ----
    Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_UnitToBlueMove)

Here's the map as well.

This is my homework Like a convertion system i made. Changing The Unit Vertex Coloring unitl it's get blue. In this system if a unit it's in that region it doesn't take other unit.(Somethings are in spanish in WE, I'm from Argentina..but you can understand clearly)

I do my best here. Hope You Like It! Sry if i pass to much with the assignament, i just want it to make something different of the others.

[Tonks]

I'm incredibly sorry to have to do this, but I can't finish this Classroom. Over the weekend I broke my arm and my dad is in the hospital, so I find myself incapable of continuing this class.

Again, I'm sorry. If anyone would like to take up the lesson, feel free to announce yourself. Many of you are capable of teaching it just as well as I could have.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Awww.... So sad for the broken arm, I hope it gets better soon...
I could take the class up, but I think I might need to focus on my other class, but that won't be too hard. If you would like me to take over the class from here, I'd gladly do that.

Feel free to. Just take it up with whoever's managing the classroom thing these days, then post your lessons.

 

[IKilledKEnny]

Sorry to hear that Tonks, it was a nice classroom. I hope you and your father will get better soon!

> PurgeandFire

Good luck with it, you are running 2 classrooms at a time. I'll help if you need assitance.

 

[DrinkSlurm]

Sorry to hear that. Hope you and your father get better soon.

 

[Naminator]

Sry about your father and you...

But when your father and you gets better are you going to keep this class on? I don't know if is right to ask, but just wanna know. I really sry about you father and you.

Lol... I didn't know that Tonks replied. Hm.. I guess I'll try to finish both classes' lessons over the weekend or maybe on Friday. Thank you, I will ask if I need help to either you or elmstfreddie.

PurgeandFire is continuing the classroom unless he decides not to.

If you need any further information about GUI Functions, I'm still happy to give you some tricks n tips.

 

[Naminator]

it's a shame that no one continues this class. I Hope someone will.
