The code is below, and runs every time a building is constructed, I included multiple displaytext prompts to try to debug it but cannot tell why it is failing.
Supposed to store the units atk speed as a real, modify it by abp(1 for now), ad set the new atk speed.
Code:
function atk2 takes unit u returns nothing
local integer uid=GetUnitTypeId(u)
local integer pn=1+GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(u))
if LoadReal(udg_mhash,1,uid)==0 then
    call SaveReal(udg_mhash,1,uid,BlzGetUnitAttackCooldown(u,0))
   call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(u),0,0,5,R2S(BlzGetUnitAttackCooldown(u,0))+" , "+R2S(BlzGetUnitAttackCooldown(u,1)) )
   call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(u),0,0,5,R2S(LoadReal(udg_mhash,1,uid)) )
endif
    call BlzSetUnitAttackCooldown(u,LoadReal(udg_mhash,1,uid)/udg_abp[pn],0)
    call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(u),0,0,5,R2S(LoadReal(udg_mhash,1,uid))+"  "+R2S(udg_abp[pn]) )
endfunction
The displayed numbers when tower built are
1.88
0
0
0
1.00
so BlzGetUnitAttackCooldown correctly returns 1.88 initially and abp returns 1, but all the loadreal attempts give 0 :(
I realized it went wrong because towers fail to atk after this trigger added
The reason I need to store the base atk speed in a real like this is because I later want it to run on Cede tower as well, so the hashtable should store Base cooldown too prevent making it faster by ceding back and forth.

A few things you could try to debug the issue further:
1. check if you can save anything at all in the table
2. check that the table is properly initialized

I created it in this map for this purpose, so have not saved anything else in it yet.
Will look into initializing once get back home.

It worked, thank you!

    Recently tried out ChatGPT about WE triggering. Wow it's capable of giving a somewhat legitimate response.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am sure it has read all the info on the forums here
  • The Helper The Helper:
    i think triggering is just scripting and chatgpt is real good at code
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Yeah I suppose so. It's interesting how it can explain in so much detail.
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    But yet it won't work.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    it does a bad ass job doing excel vba code it has leveled me up at my job when I deal with excel that is for sure
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Nice! I love Excel coding as well. Has always been using Google to help me. Maybe I'll use ChatGPT next time when I need it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    yeah whatever it puts out even if it is not perfect I can fix it and the latest version of chatgpt can create websites from pictures it will not be long until it can do that with almost all the tools

    A lot more low quality content, a lot more half-baked stuff.
  • jonas jonas:
    If you're good enough to spot the mistakes of the answers you don't need it in the first place. If you aren't good enough, you're gonna rely on some half-correct stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    the earlier AI is and has been used extensively for publishing news and other content for a while now
  • jonas jonas:
    I used to be active on quora, it's now flooded with extremely similar, superficial answers that often miss the point of the question
