Crashes / Unexplainables Strange grid problem

drunken · 07-09-2008

Sorry if this comes up twice but I posted it unregistered and I am impatient so I registered and reposted it

I am trying to make a grid of destructibles at runtime, mostly it is working fine but there is a problem that has me thoroughly confused.

My (pseudo)code looks like this:

For each (a) from 1 to GridSize
For each (b) from 1 to GridSize
create destructible at (region)Origin with offset (a*SquareSize,b*SquareSize)

this nested loop creates a nice grid of destructibles but randomly the 17th row and every subsequent row in both the x and y axes is moved roughly SquareSize/2 towards the origin.

Here are some images of the transition zone:

Wow random... I were working a bit on the same... Hang let me get my code.

Code:

//===========================================================================
function Setup_Squares takes integer typeId, real numberofsqx, real numberofsqy, real sqsizex, real sqsizey, real sqface, real sqscale returns nothing
    local real x = (numberofsqx/2)-numberofsqx
    local real resety = (numberofsqy/2)-numberofsqy
    local real y = resety
    local real maxx = numberofsqx/2
    local real maxy = numberofsqy/2
    loop
        loop
            call CreateDestructable('B003',((sqsizex*x)+(sqsizex/2)),((sqsizey*y)+(sqsizey/2)),sqface,sqscale,0)
            set y = y + 1.00
            exitwhen y >= maxy
        endloop
        set y = resety
        set x = x + 1.00
        exitwhen x >= maxx
    endloop
endfunction

I don't know if you can read JASS ( I hope otherwise you got some nasty GUI nested loops in your code <.< ), but this does *roughly* the same. It might need some tweaks here and there and some optimization but it should give you the basic idea.

An example call:
call Setup_Squares('DTrx', 5, 5, 128, 128, 90, 1)

... Would produce something like this:

Code:

xxxxx
xxxxx
xxxxx
xxxxx
xxxxx

E.g. Syntax:
call Setup_Squares(<Your destructible typeid here>, <How many on the x row>, <How many on the y colloum>, <The x size of the destructible>, <The y size of the destructible>, <The face dicretion>, <Scale of the model>)

The only problem is that it takes from 0.0x and 0.0y so if you want to start in 234.0x and -453.0y then you have to modify the code (should be easy enough).

But for solving your problem with your code, you got to post it :]

Actually I am using the gui. the nested loops aren't that bad.
Maybe one day I'll put in the minimal research it would take me to learn jass. At this point I don't even know how to include a jass script in a map. :-p
The problem I posted here is not actually causeing me any serious problems with the map I'm making but I posted it because I am fairly certain that it is a major bug with the worldedit program.

Na I assure you it is your code. Warcraft just do what you order it to do

.

But if you don't want to share your code, I can fully understand that, debug with other people can be a bit hard.

How can I get the script into a copy/pasteable form without typing it out from the editor?
