Get casting behind of caster(immediately)

The_New_Divide · Jun 23, 2012

Hallo guys, i need for a spell the description for a GUI-trigger to use a dummyspell, which casting behind of the triggering unit. Thank you for your help.

Set tempLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
Set tempLoc = (tempLoc offset by 150.00 towards ((Facing of (Triggering unit)) x -1.00) degrees)
-------- Create dummy --------
Unit - Order No unit to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave tempLoc
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc)

This spell assumes you want your dummy to cast Shockwave behind the caster. It will target the point 150 distance behind the caster.

This was my 999th post!

Where your grammar...

@Bean
Why multiply it by -1 ?
It suppose to be (Facing of (Triggering unit)) + 180.00 degrees

@MrBean: Im hounored for your 999th post. I will try this code.
@defskull: I have think, thats maybe somethink with -/+ 180 degrees, but maybe x(-1) is the same?

Mr_Bean · Jun 24, 2012

@defskull: x(-1) is the same as +180. If you think about it:

-90 degrees is the opposite of 90 degrees.

This was my 1000th post! Yay!

Oh the angle properties, haha !

Ok the x(-1)-function was a fail^^, but i have it with a castdistance of 300 and -180 degree. Thank you for your both helping.

Really ?
Perhaps there is no negative degrees are allowed in Warcraft III ?

I attest that it's a fail. It works only for those 90 and -90 degrees.

Let's say you have a unit facing 0 degrees, if you take the negative, it's always 0 degrees...
Actualy, multiplying the angle by -1 is the same as a doing a symmetry using the horizontal axis.

defskull · Jun 24, 2012

Therefore, use +180.00 degress, nuffsaid`.

Mr_Bean · Jun 24, 2012

Haha okay. Good point Tirlititi. My bad

WhiteDeath · Jun 24, 2012

Will it work with -180 degrees if the unit is facing 60 deg, 60-180=-120 will the game understand that that is 240deg or will it understand it as 0 degrees?
Usually what I do in such situations is use negative distance not angles.

defskull · Jun 24, 2012

Negative angles in Warcraft III is allowed.

Therefore -120 = 240 degrees.
