Version 2.1
The third system of it's kind created by me, this one will hopefully be more succesful and will live up to my expectations. The two others were Simple Particle System, and then Simple Particle System Mark II. The first of the three was buggy, very slow, and extremely inaccurate. The second used procedural-style coding, which people didn't seem to appreciate. I finally created this: SEE - Simple Entity Engine. It uses object-oriented style programming, which makes things alot easier to read and understand. I've worked alot on getting this system to where I want it to be.
Features:- Easy to use, easy to read layout.
- Efficient and fast system.
- 'Realistic' bouncing off other entities and the ground.
- Spherical collisions between entities.
- Easy to create custom entity types.
- Mass and volume play important roles in entity behaviours.
- Simple to install plugins.
- Documented just for you! :D
Credits go to HINDYhat for the creation of this system.
Thanks to Earth-Fury for helping me alot and teaching me how to use object-oriented programming. Also thanks to him for coming up with this system's neat name, SEE: Simple Entity Engine.
------------------------
Thanks to PurplePoot for teaching me some things in Jass.
------------------------
Thanks to moyack for helping me on a nagging collision problem, and for being nice and helpful. :D
------------------------
Many thanks to grim001 for helping with a couple of bugs in collision detection.
------------------------
Thanks to anyone and everyone who might use this system in a map of theirs
------------------------
Thanks to WILLTHEALMIGHTY for the nuke effect in SEE 2.1

Earth-Fury: I can find no reason not to approve this. Needs more work, but a system of this scope always will :P

Actually, the list of implementation is endless, except it would be very different from the conventional WC map

Wow very good. I cant find any flaw in the gameplay. Reminds me on MAd Balls Arena but even more flashy.

Why would you use MaDOS over this? It's ALOT larger and slower.

might be just me, but when I try to edit the map in any way at all, such as the terrain or placing more units, it won't run. It just says fatal error blah blah blah and quits. that really needs sorting if it's not just me and other people are getting the same problem.

I say in the description... This system requires JassNewGenPack. The link is also noted.
Without JNGP, this system WILL NOT WORK.

Wow, great system! This thing managed to handle over 100 balls without getting laggy, and the lag only started to get noticable when I got to about 150 of them.
Is it possible to change the gravity factor? That'd be nice.

Well yes you could manually, but I could add that in a further version.
The gravity acceleration constant is declared at the top of the SEECore trigger. It's currently -30.0, but you can change it whatever you want.
On the other hand, if you want gravity's acceleration to be subjective to an Entity, you could use this line right after calling <entity>.AddGravity().
set <entity>.Accelz=<entity>.Accelz*FACTOR
FACTOR being the gravity factor you're looking for.
Thanks for the comments :P, by the way, the system is faster if you run it without collideable entities.

It would be easier if the web site to download the jassnewgenpack works.
The entrance to the website is denied for me.

The site is down, and as far as I know there is no mirror for the download...

Ah, the site is back up again:
http://hilton.vs.oiccam.com/showthread.php?t=90999
If you use that editor, the system should work fine. There's a mini-tutorial in the map, which should help you understand the system a bit.

The system is outstanding, but the problem is that I can't understand nothing in the WE because it's in JASS. I'm trying to learn JASS but it's too difficult. Can pass the system in JASS to GUI?
