Edit: These are meant to set a real array for the player and add or subtract spell damage when a unit acquires/loses an item. Read below for my question.

JASS:
function Trig_Spell_Dmg_Acquire_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer playernum=GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))+1
    set udg_TempItem=GetManipulatedItem()
    call TriggerExecute(gg_trg_Spell_Damage_Item_List)
    set udg_Hero_SpellDamage[playernum] = udg_Hero_SpellDamage[playernum] + udg_TempInteger
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Spell_Dmg_Acquire takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Spell_Dmg_Acquire = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Spell_Dmg_Acquire, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_PICKUP_ITEM )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Spell_Dmg_Acquire, function Trig_Spell_Dmg_Acquire_Actions )
endfunction


JASS:
function Trig_Spell_Dmg_Lose_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer playernum=GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))+1
    set udg_TempItem=GetManipulatedItem()
    call TriggerExecute(gg_trg_Spell_Damage_Item_List)
    set udg_Hero_SpellDamage[playernum] = udg_Hero_SpellDamage[playernum] - udg_TempInteger
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Spell_Dmg_Lose takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Spell_Dmg_Lose = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Spell_Dmg_Lose, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DROP_ITEM )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Spell_Dmg_Lose, function Trig_Spell_Dmg_Lose_Actions )
endfunction


Code:
Spell Damage Item List
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        -------- ========== Set The Items Spell Damage Below Here --------
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Item-type of TempItem) Equal to Wooden Staff
            Then - Actions
                Custom script:   set udg_TempInteger = 10
            Else - Actions
        -------- ============================================ --------

Just wondering, do you think this trigger will screw up if I have a lot of Items set in 'Spell Damage Item List'? Say there are 50 items set in it (50 If/then/else), and the bottom item of the list is the same item that the unit acquires.

Since the 'Spell Damage Item List' trigger is executed then straight after that it calculates the spell damage:
Code:
set udg_Hero_SpellDamage[playernum] = udg_Hero_SpellDamage[playernum] + udg_TempInteger
Will the 49 'if's before the actual 'if' that will be used, cause it to set TempInteger after the damage calculation in the main trigger is done?

Just wondering because it actually works right now with one 'if'.

Also if you have a better way to do this please share, because I tried it with A Unit Acquires an Item and A Unit Loses an Item events in the same trigger (as in having the two main triggers in one). However there is no way that I could find to see if the item was dropped or aquired.

I tested it with the following conditions (one at a time to clear things up):
Code:
    ((Item being manipulated) is in (Playable map area)) Equal to False
    ((Item being manipulated) is owned) Equal to True
    ((Triggering unit) has (Item being manipulated)) Equal to True

The playable map area one always returned False if I acquired or dropped the item.

The owned one always returned True if I acquired or dropped the item.

The Unit has item one always returned True if I acquired or dropped the item.

So from this I gathered that upon the 'Unit loses an Item' event, the unit still actually has the item!

So this is why I made the trigger at the start of the post, to get around that, but still only have to set the item damage once. I also want to avoid having to set arrays.

So yeah, I'd just like to know if my trigger will stop working after a certain amount of Ifs are added to the 'Spell Damage Item List' trigger, and if it will, what is a more effective way to do it. Thanks.
 
It's not really a question about jass though.

Edit: OK, so it was moved to the JASS forum, so I'm assuming if a post has 4 lines of jass code in it, but not a question about jass, it still has to be posted in the JASS forum?
 
Assuming there's no wait in those "if"s, it will work.

You could set the item's hitpoints to that "damage" value. No array, no if...


> upon the 'Unit loses an Item' event, the unit still actually has the item!

The workaround is to have a "wait 0.0 seconds" as first action.
Though... it's a wait...

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
