[Info] "For each" Undocumented Change 2.0.10

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

"For each integer/real" works differently after 2.0.10.

After finishing the loop, the variable won't end with the end value that you set in that function anymore (or the last correct value it had before).

For example, the following code ends with A being set to 10.0 after the loop:
Code
General - For each real A from 0.0 to 9.0 with increment 1.0, do (Actions)


Due to the way sc2 translates GUI to mapscript's galaxy code, maps can only be bugged when you update them. So, if you've updated your map or plan to update it, you might be adding bugs to it without being aware of that.

So, please check your maps for possible side effects. Note that this can only be a problem when you re-use the current value of the loop's variable.

Shouldn't this be getting fixed?

Probably not worth a thread but a thing I noticed is if you're changing a unit's max energy, its current energy gets set to the max energy now. Made for a small bug in my mod.

It's a bit crap of Blizzard to change behaviour of a functional item like that, but I'd also suggest that if you were using "foreach", you shouldn't have been expecting variable A to have any particular value at the end of the loop.

Foreach has a distinctly different semantic meaning compared to a for loop which explicitly increments the counting variable and uses a test against that variable in order to exit the loop. Foreach literally just means "do this thing on all of the items in this loop", theoretically your use-case shouldn't care in what order the action is performed, just as long as it is performed exactly once for each item - the resulting value of the variable used to control the loop therefore shouldn't be assumed (unless the API indicates the value to expect). A for loop on the other hand is much less structured, and since it is simply checking against a variable value to decide when to exit the loop, the variable can be manipulated in numerous different ways within the body of the loop to give different exit behaviours, as well as for loops often being explicitly used to determine the appropriate value of the variable for further use (eg, count the number of characters in a string).

Oh_Man -- Hope that makes sense. Also artosiscast just dropped a 1 hour vid he analayses a bunch of its games. The TLDR is the maphack is responsible for a large percentage of its wins because its just hard countering zerg rushes

Oh_Man -- It's EMULATING the behaviour of a control group select and move without having the actual functionality to do that

Vrael shouted: yeah but it looks like pluto's eAPM is still 6000 based on issuing all those orders
k the APM is inflated because it issues 12 identical orders individually. Its not 12 unique orders
[03:02 am]
Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- and while the reaver was reloading it used that time to aggregate enough marine/tank to fend it off
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- like its micro vs one of the in-base reaver drops was pretty insane, basically it made the reaver spend 1 scarab per unit instead of 1 scarab for many workers/units
[02:58 am]
Vrael -- all the stuff I've said below is based on the actual gameplay vs some strong human performers, seems like the bot just has unfair advantages, but its also doing some cool stuff

NimoStar shouted: If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
I mean human brains trained the bot too, its not completely infeasible for the bot to actually be strong in certain scenarios
