Very odd ping problem

[MasterOfABCs]

1) the problem- Map mini map is supposed to ping in 30 different locations every 30 seconds, my triggers look exactly the same but with a different region plugged into the formula, now the odd thing is, when my timer hits zero, and the pings on the mini map go off, they all ping in a very odd location let me show you. :banghead:



2) what's supposed to happen- ok think of my level as a sqaure with a line (roughly) through it diagonaly. each side has a not equal amount of regions on both sides. in my tigger, it states all of regions are to be pinged on the mini map for all 5.00 seconds. to all players



3)what happens- on the right side of the river, (your right not the computer's right) Pings hit as thier supposed to on all the reegions, BUT! they also hit tons of random places on the right side, i don't know why yet on the left side( your left not your computer's) only one ping goes off, region 000.



4) my trigger-


E-timer (periodic) time set for 30.00 seconds

C-none

A- ping center of reagion 000 <gen> for 5.00 seconds on minimap
|
|
\/ 29 more times changing the 000 to 001,002,003,004...........

5) solution- Any one, help please.

Couldn you use 2 triggers and 1 region variable?

Im sorry if anything is incorrectly written,but i dont have my WE open right now.

Trigger 1.

Event
 Map initialization
Conditions
-None-
Action:
Set variable Region (1) = region 0000
Set Variable Region (2) =Region 0001 and so on untill your nr of regions

now for the second trigger

 Event:
Time periodic event every 30 seconds
Condition:
None
Action:
For each integre a (1 to your nr of regions) do cinematics ping minimap at Region((For each integre a)) for player (all players) for 5 seconds

Again i am sorry if some of this is incorrectly written i am doing it out from memory

Ok here's your solution. I just tested it, so I know it works.

What it does is what I originally suggested - adds them to a rect array and pings them with .01 second pauses inbetween with a for loop w/multiple actions.

Edit: Sheep_Quest, that looks like it'll work but I just tried the same thing and it only pings half of them - there needs to be a tiny wait or it wont ping them all.

Edit: Ahaha oops I made it every 5 seconds, but you can fix that

Sorry for not replying, i was gone and my internet decided 2take a vacation -_- any way, im pretty sure this will work, im apllying it as i speak.....

 

[MasterOfABCs]

ok shai, is thier a way to import that trigger into my level or so i need to transfer manualy?

 

[ShaiTan-Enk]

Open both maps in the editor (aka, open yours, then do file > open and open the one I posted). Copy the 2 triggers from the map I posted, then go up to Window and switch to your map. Then paste them in

Just make sure you have it automatically create missing variable (in preferences, under file).

That should do it

Why did you make a second thread for the seemingly same exact problem?

If it's not exactly the same, it's very closely related. Use the same thread next time.

Just because your problem goes to the second page doesn't mean ya can make a new thread Look for it next time and bump it if you find another problem, or just need more help.

Oh, one last thing.

Read the rules

Have a nice day.

 

[MasterOfABCs]

thank god, with this my map should be done round saturday!!!! 2 weeks of work soon to pay off! off topic: shai can you host?

 

[ShaiTan-Enk]

Yes I can, if it's done by Saturday. I leave on Sunday for 6 weeks.

 

[MasterOfABCs]

Ok, i'll try to do that, have fun were every you're going!, i have one more question, about this site actully, do you know how the color coding on the little blocks under you're location works? i got 49 posts and it turned red? is that good or bad thing, im'a bit worried and MAJOR THANKS FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS'S HELP! this is like my number ONE problem.

 

[ShaiTan-Enk]

The color coding is your reputation. It turns red when you get bad rep, and your rep points go into the negatives. Mine, for example, is red because I made a comment that I'm not allowed to make (I wasn't aware of that at the time, but that's beside the point). If you want to know why you got bad rep, click 'User Preferences' (on the left).

 

[DM Cross]

Hmm, it's not red anymore.



I wonder who did that?

*Cough* (again) *Cough* (again)

You're welcome

 

[ShaiTan-Enk]

Rofl thanks

 

[MasterOfABCs]

ok thanks much for everything! as for your leaving on sat. i m goign to try and finish my map to night *look at all i have to do *sighs** alright well, good luck to wit hwhat evr your doing and thank u much yet agian!

 

[MasterOfABCs]

um shai if your thier, I'm so lost it's stupid, your triier works but i dont understand how to copy it over ot my map, i cant have 2 windows of the editor open, im not in WEU do i need to be? when i try to manuly copy it over i dont understand all the varible stuff note: i apoligize for ne spelling mistakes, im very tired

 

[ShaiTan-Enk]

Ok so here's what you do. Open your map in the editor, and go to File > Preferences.
Look for the checkbox that says "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data" and check it off. This is in all versions of the world editor.
Then open the triggers I sent you, and copy one of them. Switch back to your map and paste it in. Because you have checked off that box, it will automatically copy over the variables as well. Then do that with the other trigger, and you're set

 

[MasterOfABCs]

my problem is, two things, i cant open your triggers and my map at same time, i would have to open the editor 2 times, that i cannot do. and i dont no how to coppy trigger is thier a button some were i dont see?

 

[ShaiTan-Enk]

You can open both at the same time. You open one, and then you hit ctrl-o and open the other one. It will look like only one is opened, but go to the menu bar, select 'Window', and the last two things on the list should be the two maps. To switch maps, just click on the one that isn't checked off.

To copy a trigger, either right-click it and select 'copy', or select it and hit ctrl-c. Same thing for pasting, either right-click or use ctrl-v.

 

[MasterOfABCs]

ok so far so good do i have to copy n paste every line of both hese triggers on by one? or is thier a easier way?

 

[ShaiTan-Enk]

You can copy and paste the triggers themselves. Instead of selecting a line of code, select the trigger itself (you do this by clicking the trigger - for example, when you want to look at or edit a trigger, you click on its name). So click on the name of the trigger and copy it - this will copy the entire trigger. Just make sure that it doesn't go into rename mode, in which case all you'll copy will be the letters.
