Knockback Unit

Bump: found a bug: call SetUnitPosition(kd.u, GetUnitX(kd.u), GetUnitY(kd.u)) in function UnitKnockbackWithLightning should instead be call SetUnitPosition(kwld.u, GetUnitX(kwld.u), GetUnitY(kwld.u)) so that the script can compile properly.

~updated your post.

Oh, btw, just use the same struct for both, and leave unused vars with the normal knockback. It'd be alot more efficient.

EDIT: Also made it require a library called LocalHandleVars, just in case ;)

Hey, thanks Pooty!

*fixed, is it ok now?

I don't understand, why would it be more efficient?

Because you're making half as many globals. (if you only use a single struct)

Thanks for the help, but there is one more problem..... it returns an error "kd is not a type that allows . sintax" on this line:

local real x = GetUnitX(kd.u) + kd.d1 * kd.cos

Any ideas why that happened?

I would love to rep you but I have to spread first :)

EDIT: Misspelled Knockback

You misspelled knockback wrong in both the library name (Doesn't matter much, but fixed) and the KnockbackData.destroy(kd) (definately does matter :p).

~fixed

Oh, tip to code a bit faster: (StructType).destroy(varName) is equivelant to (varName).destroy()

Thanks, I hate when I misspell.... :)

Yeah, I know, I found out about that later after I've already coded that function, then I didn't see any reason to change it :P

Another question: why are you helping me so much?? What did I ever do to you?? :D

I need something to do =O

Anyhow, I found out about the first bug because one of my friends (dil999) was playing around with this.

You should do something about that 2,999 posts

Yeah, it took me a while to notice that I misspelled Knockback, because New Gen Pack was bumping an error on a wrong line, it seems like Vex isn't so perfect after all.... :)

I doubt it makes a difference, but actually, FlushHandleLocals (flushes a mission, 1 I2S(H2I)) is most likely slower than SetHandleInt (sets a slot, 1 I2S(H2I)), but faster than SetHandleHandle (sets a slot, 2 I2S(H2I))

Thanks, though I don't understand your point. What did you want to say?

And why don't you come to chat some time? :P

Blarg, I was accidentally reading page 1 and thought it was page 3 when I wrote that :p

(referring to Diablo-DK's post about Flushing being slower than SetHandleInting a single value)

And go to the chat room? I do, sometimes.

Two questions for Pooty:

1.) Do you think I should add a tree-hitting option? (so the knockbacked unit can take down a tree if it hits one)

2.) Maybe I should put the instructions for GUI users? Though 'JASS functions' title probably already scared away all of them.

1.) Do you think I should add a tree-hitting option? (so the knockbacked unit can take down a tree if it hits one)

Entirely your choice

2.) Maybe I should put the instructions for GUI users? Though 'JASS functions' title probably already scared away all of them.

Nah, there are plenty of other ways for them to find out.. they'll have to sometime -.-

Hey guys... is there any way I can use this on a Mac? Because from the looks of it, the NewGen pack can't run on one, and so when I just try to CnP the text and try to call it (the way PurplePoot described), it just gave me a thousand errors.

Thanks in advance.

If you don't have JassNewGenPack, the function is impossible to implement. Sorry I don't know much about Mac-NewGen problems.
