locals in gui screw up

[exge]

hey.. im using globals all the time.. until i read about the locals in gui thread here and decided to try it ...
so i put

local unit udg_myunit

set myunit = casting unit

but it doesnt work ... im not sure why ...
thanks in advance

 

[uberfoop]

post entire trigger pls.

 

[exge]

it basically happens with all my triggers ?? how do i post all ...
ps: once i removed the locals, the spells works fine

 

[uberfoop]

Post an example of a trigger with your locals in it then...



I can't tell you what the problem is if i cant inspect the source.

 

[exge]

ok here it is ..

cross chop
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Cross Chop 
    Actions
        Custom script: local unit udg_slasher_caster
        Custom script: local unit udg_slasher_target
        Set slasher_caster = (Casting unit)
        Set slasher_target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
        Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the weapon of slasher_caster using Abilities\Spells\Demon\DarkPortal\DarkPortalTarget.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        Wait 0.30 seconds
        Unit - Move slasher_caster instantly to (Position of slasher_target)
        Unit - Cause slasher_caster to damage slasher_target, dealing (50.00 x (Real((Level of Cross Chop  for slasher_caster)))) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal
        Wait 1.00 seconds

maybe use "unit begins casting an ability"?
Just a suggestion

lolz .. you could have told me on msn ... but nvm .. that still does not solve the problem

yes, but on MSN I got a problem and none of my words reach to you...
but, I stated above it's just a suggestion
Um, are you sure the ability targets a unit?

Does it work if you remove the 2 custom script lines?
And "it doesnt work" isn't a very good description of the problem. What happens?

I've read somewhere that you can't have 2 'local globals' in the same function. If thats your problem then you can try to convert your trigger to 'Custom Script' and remove every 'udg_' prefix that you find.

basically, now that I remember, you on MSN mentioned it actually works without them, Exge.
So?

 

[phyrex1an]

What works without what?

 

[NiKaNoRoU_GR]

What works without what?

Um, he knows, but above I meant that he mentioned that the trigger works without the scripts

 

[phyrex1an]

Ah.
Well, then I suggest you try the 'Convert To Custom script and remove udg_ prefixes' thing I mentioned.

its not in jass.. i just added those lines so that a spell could be mui, hopefully .... i saw it on a thread here...the spells dont work as in .. none of the variables become set ...

 

[NiKaNoRoU_GR]

You can also try and use it the old way, with casting unit and target of ability being cast instead of Vs.

 

[exge]

i have waits .. and normally they screw up the casting and target part ... trust me ... i tried it

Are you sure that without the scripts it works?

 

[exge]

yes ..

 

[NiKaNoRoU_GR]

yes ..

ok, then, that's settled.
I don't use scripts in MOST of my triggers and are fine, you can do so...
if that happens to all your triggers, then maybe stop the CSs.

 

[exge]

i had no choice but to stop using them ... so now my spells are not mui .. and i find jass really hard to learn...
mayb cos when i learned other languages .. i had a conpiler that shows you the errors ... jasscraft ... is a bit different
