-Perfect Patrols-

With this, you can make half as much regions as you would normally have for patrols. With this, you can make an exact patrol and/or attacking unit.

function Trig_Patrols_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
set udg_A=GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Region_001)
call CreateNUnitsAtLoc(1,'hfoo',Player(11),udg_A,270.00)
call RemoveLocation(udg_A)
set udg_A=GetUnitLoc(GetLastCreatedUnit())
call IssuePointOrderLocBJ(GetLastCreatedUnit(),"patrol",OffsetLocation(udg_A,(0.00*128),(2.00*128)))
call RemoveLocation(udg_A)
call DoNothing()

function InitTrig_Patroling takes nothing returns nothing

call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle(gg_trg_Patroling,0.50)
call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_Patroling,function Trig_Patrols_Actions)
endfunction

anything with // before it is just telling you something, you dont need it included.

Make a variable called A which is a Point. A is easier to type and select if you're using GUI. Ok, now heres the complicated part. set udg_A=GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Region_001) <--- change the region in that part of the trigger to the region that the unit will spawn at. Say you want the footmen to patrol 2 blocks up from the region. the first 0.00*128 is the X coordinate and the 2.00*128 is the Y coordinate. Since Y means up and down, you would make it a positive 2. The X would be 0.00. I suggest not just putting 0, because you can copy and paste and just replace the number instead of typeing up 3.00*128.

If you need help, ill help. It's the same for an attacking unit, except you put the reion where you want the mortar to spawn. where it says 'hfoo', that means it's a footmen. look at the list of //_ _ _ _=Unit and replace hfoo with whatever unit you want. if you have a question about anythng, just ask.

EDIT: i left out some units in the list, but i dont want to put them in because they're tft units.

Bump. + This = 0 LAG OR ANYTHING! I suggest if you like making mazes, you should learn how to do this.

unnecessary bump, and if you ARE a decent maze maker you KNOW this isnt necessary as long as you do everything else right

and how does it make it take half as many regions, aren't you saying make 1 region to spawn the unit? usually people place a unit then order it to patrol to 1 region so its still 1 region

ok yes thats true but this makes it so you dont have to place a unit, click on it, wait like 5 minutes, then make a region, click on it, wait like 5 minutes, then you have one patrol. this is so fast and easy and it's helpful if you actually are a GOOD MAZE MAKER. cough kog sux. all you have to do is change the 000 number next to the region and THATS IT!

the bump was patrially nessacary due to ach spamming random shit for no reason and i didnt wanna keep ending that post.

this trigger is useless, kuz if u ARE a decent maze maker you KNOW this isnt necessary as long as you do everything else right.

| | THAT, is what u do to me dark, CONSTANTLY.

for once, take 2 secs to read some1's post before responding to it, or insulting some1 saying there spamming. kuz if u had read it, u would have known im not spamming.

ur the one that actually spams just to get there post count up. so either way its at least hypercritical.

dark your calling me the bad map maker? youve made what 1 maze? and o wait it sucked thats right.

also either your retarded for it to take 5 mins or your comp is worse then mine - maze with 2000 regions it only took MAYBE 70seconds for the regions and 30 for units this was on MY comp the comp that has 4 fps on the 2nd to last lvl in murloc slide

plus it only starts to take time after you hit like 900 regions and 500 units

and wtf do you mean by "exact patrol" that makes no sense a region would be better cause then you can SEE where it goes and you can cooridinate it with other guys easier


ps moww2. game set match bitch you can say it sucked but its immensely more popular than any maze you've made, and your so pathetic you want your next maze to be more popular so you decided to call it "mor5" but ITS NOT A REAL MOR WITHOUT NJELKOTJE


pps mor5 looks gay dark i didnt want to hurt your feelings until you decided to diss my map making skills

i agree with every thing kog said, i didnet even know you MADE a maze, ppl actually played moww2

MOWW 2 ALL ME ALL KOG DID WAS THE FUN WHICH NO ONE WAS ABLE TO USE SO HA U DO SUCK

mark as i remember it you did 4/5ths of the levels, yes but BUT you failed so badly on regions and patrols and general triggers that i had to do ALOT of fixing


plus i made the naga part which most people said was their favorite part SO HA!!

and lots of people could use the fun cmd, it was only a few vers where i capitalized your name wrong that you couldnt


(marks just mad cause i could get a mapwide blink and all he could get was a 200 range blink)


(oh and pat could get a 500 range blink)

Stop necroing shit god damit

This is why I hate people who necro posts.

he actually has a point
do nothing is evil

but the bit 3ice posted might not be right
i dont think you can actually see any of the native triggers for jass
functionally though, that is what do nothing does

it was made for those stupid if/then/else in gui where instead of being multiple conditions/actions its only 1 to each

so if you didn't have an else you couldnt finish the action (so you put do nothing as a place holder)

why is do nothing so bad seren?

not so bad
just unnecessarily bad

it literally makes work to do out of absolutely nothing

I couldve said something here back then, i wonder why i didnt

Sometimes you do something, or you do nothing, and you cant remember why you did, or didnt

You remember doing it, or not doing it, but you dont remember why you did, or didnt

Although you cant remember not doing something since you didnt do it, but what i mean is you remember the opportunity to do something but you didnt

Its not always something important, though the important things are what will really make you wonder why you did or didnt

But sometimes the little things begin to add up and you start looking back and wonder how you could forget or not remember the reasoning you once had, or didnt

You end up in this meta-physical paradox of self reflection on why you do the things you do, dont do the things you dont do, and if your future self will remember why you did or didnt

The choices you make have consequences and you have to live with them, but at some point in the future you will look back and think "what was i thinking" or "how did i come to the conclusion i did" or "i shouldve done that but i didnt"

I guess you can just call it regret, but what about those times where you do nothing that ended up being beneficial to you in some way because you didnt

If given the same choice again, without the experience or memory of the last time you made this choice, would you, again, choose to do the things you did or not do the things you didnt

If you cant remember why you made the choice you made theres a good chance you could choose something different the next time your presented with the same choice, especially if the choice is something little and unimportant as you're less likely to remember the consequences of what you did or didnt

Did you write that yourself pat? That was actually pretty interesting to read, even if it was a joke.

Yes i wrote it myself, cant you tell from all the commas lol
Re-reading it now, i think it needs more commas
Though, im sure im not the first to write something like that

There was actually 1 more line at the end that i cut
The line was about your choice to read what i wrote and about doing nothing, or not accomplishing anything, basically telling the reader that they wasted their time reading it, to really tie the joke together and be like "thats why we dont use do nothing"

But I re-read the whole thing and was like, "hmm this ended up making alot more sense and being alot more thoughtful then i intended" so at first i was just going to abort and not post anything, maybe re-word some of it and post it at a later time as something more serious
I couldnt really think of the circumstances where i would post something like this as something serious so i just took out that last line and posted it
