FatalException Post #1

So, I have a map, and in the map, you can call in airstrikes. A wraith flies to the target (a pylon), and everything there is supposed to explode rather violently. The wraith then flies back to where it came from and is removed. My problem is that the wraith is not being detected at the target location. Here is the trigger system I'm having trouble with:

Code

Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Bring("Current Player", "Protoss Pylon", "Anywhere", Exactly, 1);

Actions:
Move Location("Current Player", "Protoss Pylon", "Anywhere", "Air Support target");
Wait(500);
Preserve Trigger();
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Bring("Current Player", "Protoss Pylon", "Air Support target", Exactly, 1);
Switch("Switch9", not set);

Actions:
Remove Unit("Current Player", "Protoss Probe");
Set Switch("Switch9", set);
Create Unit with Properties("Player 6", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", 1, "Air Support origin", 2);
Order("Player 6", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", "Air Support origin", "Air Support target", move);
Wait(3000);
Preserve Trigger();
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Bring("Player 6", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", "Air Support target", At least, 1);

Actions:
Create Unit("Player 6", "Protoss Dark Archon", 16, "Air Support target");
Kill Unit At Location("All players", "Any unit", All, "Air Support target");
Wait(1000);
Preserve Trigger();
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Trigger("Player 6"){
Conditions:
Bring("Current Player", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", "Air Support target", At least, 1);

Actions:
Create Unit("Current Player", "Protoss Dark Archon", 16, "Air Support target");
Kill Unit At Location("All players", "Any unit", All, "Air Support target");
Set Switch("Switch9", clear);
Wait(1000);
Preserve Trigger();
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Trigger("Player 6"){
Conditions:
Bring("Current Player", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", "Air Support target", Exactly, 1);

Actions:
Order("Current Player", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", "Air Support target", "Air Support origin", move);
Preserve Trigger();
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Trigger("Player 6"){
Conditions:
Bring("Current Player", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", "Air Support origin", Exactly, 1);
Switch("Switch9", not set);

Actions:
Remove Unit At Location("Current Player", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", 1, "Air Support origin");
Preserve Trigger();
}

Yes, I realize there are switches in there, I'll change it later (maybe).

P.S.: This isn't my map for the summer mapping contest.

There are more preserved waits. Wait blocks ftw! :lol:

You'll have to replace them all with death counters. Which is more reliable anyway.

Eh?

Anyhow, you don't want to use waits. Wether you use hypertriggers or not, it can mess things up (right?).
I can't sleep anyway, so I've done it for you as well as some other adjustments:

Code

Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Bring("Current Player", "Protoss Pylon", "Anywhere", At Least, 1);

Actions:
Move Location("Current Player", "Protoss Pylon", "Anywhere", "Air Support target");
Preserve Trigger();
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Bring("Current Player", "Protoss Pylon", "Air Support target", Exactly, 1);
Switch("Switch9", not set);

Actions:
Remove Unit("Current Player", "Protoss Probe");
Set Switch("Switch9", set);
Create Unit with Properties("Player 6", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", 1, "Air Support origin", 2);
Order("Player 6", "Tom Kazansky (Wraith)", "Air Support origin", "Air Support target", move);
Preserve Trigger();
}

}

lol man, you unchecked "Air support target's" "Air flags" so it will never detect your wraith.

None.

Shit, I checked those, it didn't save it?

EDIT: It didn't save it.

EDIT AGAIN: Hey, I found my problem, I'm working on an old version of my map.

I guess that's what I get for not doing anything with it for over 9000. LOCK PLOX.

None.

Epic fail....

that was what I was thinking of first but I didn't want to insult you so I didn't ask for that...

[2024-5-20. : 4:03 am]

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- below the minimap should be a thing that says "Overlay Settings" with a little + button in the corner, press the + to expand it, uncheck Use Defaults, then change "Tile Overlay" to "Height"

Sylph-Of-Space -- Unless I'm dum (possible)

Sylph-Of-Space -- It would be so so so nice if SCMDraft had some kind of dedicated "walkability" view for the tilesets.
