Oh, Jesus Crist! @#$$#@!@!$@!$#@!$%#
Sry. :wtfage:

But it seems SC won't give units on the same location and probably move that location or do the other things in the very same trigger after the transmission of the kind (at least something happens at least):
Transmission(Always Display, "", "Unit", "Location", Set To, 0, "", 0);


Ty. I've lost my sanity to figure that out :|

Edit: /me went screw himself.

Well you do know the Transmission action is a wait blocker, right?



None.

I've forgotten about that on a minute. But that was not the case anyways, because I immediately received the text which was a display text after the transmission.

Actually moving the transmission in the end helped in my map, which is quite big and complex. I don't want to terminate working on a map right now, just thrown it there not to forgot to tell about this later. I would have appreciated if someone cooked up a quick test map to figure that out in a simple environment. God, who knows what caused such a behavior in my map!

Odd. Maybe the wait block effected something else that caused a chain reaction...

If I get some time I could try looking at the map/triggers.

I've just made a little test which proves it's not a wait block. I tell, the player the trigger is executing for doesn't run any waits and/or transmissions.

Fucking odd stuff! You don't even know how I am nervous ATM because of this lil thing. Transmission here works, few lines upper didn't! WIRED.

I found when messing with transmissions that some actions wait for the transmission to finish before continuing, thus stopping the entire trigger and stopping the entire trigger, while the rest of the triggers keep on firing. Yeah, they do act a little weird. It just takes some tinkering.

They don't stop the trigger in my case. The side effect the unit (which I use as a marker) not being given results in the trigger firing again and again and spamming the message. Yeah I've tinkered it by placing transmission in the end. However I am interested in reasons and if I am right about it (and it is not again something stupid on my side) and if anybody else have already encountered such a bug.

Let me show you how to hump without making love.

Trying to make it blink as well as ping huh?

My guess is that it's some kind of coded script that makes it so you can't give it will it's transmitting, aka pinging, because it most likely needs the unit to stay the same player for each 'ping' of the unit's selection circle. That's if I am reading all of what you said right and just a guess on my part.

Weird.


Someone mind explaining to me what Subtract milliseconds in a transmission was supposed to do? That's just one of those things I've never bothered with.

Also funny that I only recently learned what Always Display did in text display actions, too. :P

Yeah, but the main point was to also be able to go to the area by clicking space. If you just ping at location it isn't queued as something important.

Probably something like that, but I was pinging completely different unit from the one which I given.

Someone please verify this thing, I will be feeling silly if it's something foolish on my part :/

No idea on my part about the meaning of addition and subtraction. Haven't ever used that really too.

I think it still has a blocking effect, though. -10000000 doesn't remove it, alas.


Edit: Actually, I'm gonna fucking test this again. Later, though.

I've realized if transmission really has a wait effect this might be the problem when you have "jumping" locations.

Finally, as I've supposed, nothing new. :ermm: I guess just another silly mistake on my side instead. :blush:
