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();
}

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

Kill Unit At Location("All players", "Any unit", All, "Air Support target");

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

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

None.

FatalException Post #8

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...

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

[2026-7-16. : 6:26 am]

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

NudeRaider -- Symmetry

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous

yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

[2026-7-15. : 4:10 am]

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
