[System] Mode Manager

[Apheraz Lucent]

Gratz!
So the system is fully applicable and custom-able right now?

[Magtheridon96]

Yes. There might be a small update though.
Don't worry, this tiny update will not break backwards compatibility and it won't fix any bugs (There are none), I'm only doing it so I can make 'FireCode' a requirement.

[Laiev]

Errr, is just me or you change the globals name and forget to change it inside the code?

Jass:

private constant string  MODE_CHAR = "-"  

//

debug if MODE_CHAR_LENGTH != StringLength(MODE_CHARACTER) then

[Magtheridon96]

Damn debug keyword :C
Fixed.

[jim7777]

does this system combines does mode strings into one single line? just like most game mode systems out there

ohh and some little checks too like if a mode A is present, disable mode B or shows an invalid mode error whatsoever

[Magtheridon96]

Yes, all modes in one line.

The checks for mode disabling are supposed to be done by the user.
I can make them automatic though.

The way you would do it currently is:

Jass:

function ap takes nothing returns nothing
    if not ModeAR.flag then
        set ModeAP.flag = true
        // do mode ap shit
    endif
endfunction

function ar takes nothing returns nothing
    if not ModeAP.flag then
        set ModeAR.flag = true
        // do mode ar shit
    endif
endfunction

no i mean the game message o.o

Like
Noob Player has selected All Pick/Only Mid/Whatsoever Mode

[Magtheridon96]

For that, you should write your own script.
I will however add that as a feature if you want.

[jim7777]

it will be more efficient if it is merged with the library i guess...

[Magtheridon96]

Actually, the only reason it would be more efficient is because /I'm/ adding it :p (Lol.)

[jim7777]

ok.. i might look into that lol

[Magtheridon96]

I'm going to update this after I finish a Missile system for -Kobas- on Friday.
By Saturday, this thing should be updated.

i think you should share it.. if you wouldn't mine

[Magtheridon96]

Well, I could share the algorithm :p
What I'm doing is just moving projectiles by their xVel, their yVel and zVel 32x a second.

For homing missiles, I would only recompute the x,y,zVels.

For bouncing missiles, I would use normal missiles and just give a new target each time.

A missile would be destroyed if bounces == 0 and the the difference between the current and target coordinates is less than the velocity on each axis (xVel, yVel, zVel)

It's very, very simple and incredibly efficient :P
The efficiency is required here because we might end up doing crazy things in the future like using a projectile system for unit attacks xD

[jim7777]

cool... o.o

any updates on this one? so excited lol
