Problem with Jass Function

Zackreaver · 02-05-2008

In my map Element War's, I'm developing the new element Light. Their method of harvesting has already been thought out, but the function isn't working properly.

The trigger's purpose is as follows:

Light's worker cast's the spell light veil, the veil then gives the player Elemental Power (gold) for the amount of territories fogged or masked; as well as granting extra mana.

Afterwards, the territory is revealed with a dummy caster generated farsight, revealing the terrain for 30 seconds, and thus requiring the worker to move to another destination, as the worker only has a vision radius of 200.

Code:

function LightVeilCond takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A05Y'
endfunction




function LightVeilAct takes nothing returns nothing

    local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()

    
    local texttag tt

    local player pl = GetOwningPlayer(u)

    local location p = GetUnitLoc(u)
    local location vp

    local integer i = 0
    
    local real angle = 1
    local real r = 0
    local real mana
   
    local unit c = CreateUnitAtLoc(pl, 'e000', p, 0)
   
    loop
        loop
            exitwhen (i == 40)
        
            set vp = PolarProjectionBJ(p, 200 + (i * 10), (angle * 10))
            
            
            ///Debug Special Effect, this allows me to see where vp is.
            call DestroyEffect( AddSpecialEffectLoc(  "Abilities\\Spells\\Undead\\DeathPact\\DeathPactTarget.mdl", vp ) )
                    
            if (IsLocationFoggedToPlayer(vp, pl) == true) then
                set r = r + 1
            endif
            
            if (IsLocationMaskedToPlayer(vp, pl) == true) then
                set r = r + 3
            endif
            
            call RemoveLocation(vp)
        
            set i = i + 1
        endloop
        exitwhen (angle == 36)
        set angle = angle + 1
        
        //Debug Message
        call DisplayTextToForce(GetPlayersAll(), R2S(angle))
        
    endloop

    set mana = GetUnitState(u,UNIT_STATE_MANA) + r
    call SetUnitState(u,UNIT_STATE_MANA, mana)
    
    call AdjustPlayerStateBJ(R2I(r),pl,PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD)
    
    set tt = CreateTextTagLocBJ("+" + I2S(R2I(r)), p, 0, 10, 100, 100, 0.00, 0)
    call ShowTextTagForceBJ( false, tt, GetPlayersAll() )
    call ShowTextTagForceBJ( true, tt, GetForceOfPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(u)) )
    call SetTextTagPermanent( tt, false )
    call SetTextTagVelocityBJ( tt, 64, 90 )
    call SetTextTagLifespan( tt, 5 )
    call SetTextTagFadepoint( tt, 3.00 )
    
    call TriggerSleepAction(0.01)
    call UnitAddAbility(c, 'A05Z')
    call IssuePointOrderLoc(c,"farsight",p)
    call UnitApplyTimedLife(c,'BTLF',4)
    
    call RemoveLocation(p)
    
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Light_Veil_2 takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( t, Condition( function LightVeilCond ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function LightVeilAct )
endfunction

However, the trigger goes off, and my debug special effect only goes to the right, as if it doesn't even put the angle real into the function. As such, the trigger only scan's to see if the area to the east is fogged.

I think it may be something to do with me using a loop within another loop, but I'm not sure why that would cause an issue.

Fixed it, made the first loop call a function which contained the second loop, worked fine after that.

Really wish there was a tutorial that explained this bug though.
