GUI Knockback System [Paladon] v.1.60

[Paladon]

This system is MUI, so it can be used in Multiplayer maps as well.

 

[neruda]

my english is bad but, what Is the meaning of MUI?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Multi(ple) Unit Instanceabillity.

Just means more than one unit can have the "effect" at one time.

 

[Paladon]

It means that a spell is useable by multiple players at once, without having worse effects.

EDIT: Jep.

About Knockback system

Hey Paladon, please can you tell me how can i make a simple Bash Ability but with (KnockBack) and when the enemy is pushed back to destroy the trees i need this to one of my maps. I truy but nothing i need just a simple Trigger.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Well, you need a passive abillity to check wether the unit uses bash. Orb effects for example. Else, you could use a trigger that checks if unit has the bash abillity. Though i think it would be easiest with the Orb Effect (as you can use "start effect of (your-orb-effect)"

 

[avpserban]

I will truy that, and please can you tell me how can I make a knockback ability but when the enemy is pushed back to destroy trees (Like Barathrum in DOTA) i want to know that tipe of ability how was maked.Can you help me?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

It was triggered. To make the knockback destroy trees, well, just look at the "single target" example. Copy the triggers, and play around with distance, etc.

 

[avpserban]

Can you help me with a simple trigger? Because i don't know how to create that kind of trigger.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Hmm, i tried, but form some wierd reason it didn't work... I can make a more advanced trigger for you, if you want....

 

[avpserban]

Is ok I thing I will truy to dyscover myself that trigger but thxy anyway.

 

[howl2000]

Great system man love it.

Only one suggestion. When a unit gets knocked back and collides with another unit it stops. I think it should transfer part of the knockback to the unit it collides with.

 

[RaedoN]

really great system.
gonna use it in my map XD

 

[Fire and Ice]

This is superb for beginners who need a knockback system incoporated. And they said a smooth knockback was impossible without JASS. 5/5 and +rep.

Only one suggestion. When a unit gets knocked back and collides with another unit it stops. I think it should transfer part of the knockback to the unit it collides with.

That'll be hard. Cause it'll be nearly impossible to define 'collision' using GUI. Plus you'll need to know how much force to transfer and how much energy the original knocked back unit is left with. So I would say its just short of impossible (because you know Paladon, he'll do just about anything using GUI)

And if anyone needs to know how to deal damage based on distance traveled, feel free to ask me. (I modified the trigger, hope its okay with you Paladon) Damage amount per distance is also fully adjustable.

 

[SteakedMeat]

I can't copy varibles how?!?!?

Erm. It's not hard at all. It's called a collision size, and the distance remaining is already stored in a var.

I had this working not that long ago, I'll see if I can dig up the modified version.

EDIT: Nevermind I was wrong

 

[tagg1080]

Good GUI knockback system, easy to understand, works well, thank you!

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

is there a way to make a knock back suddenly stop, before the distance has been reach?

 

[Rmx]

is there a way to make a knock back suddenly stop, before the distance has been reach?

That would not be called a knockback .. that would be called a timed SLIDE . or something ...

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

That would not be called a knockback .. that would be called a timed SLIDE . or something ...

there is a spell in a map called warlock and when you cast the spell, it stops the knockback, preventing your hero to fall in the lava. And using this knockback i can make a slide trigger indeed

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

dont use knockback for slide, use slide. Theres alot of slide systems out there.

 

[cjone107]

dude....you're trigger variables didnt copy and when i tried saving it corrupted my map..... thanks a lot

 

[tagg1080]

dude....you're trigger variables didnt copy and when i tried saving it corrupted my map..... thanks a lot

That is no way his fault.

Life lesson learned: Make copies.

 

[cjone107]

Sorry about my other comment, i didn't realise there was a way to copy the variables over. I tried out your knockback and lots of other spells and i have to say that you put almost every (if not every) other GUI editor to shame. You truly are an amazing spell editor 5/5

 

[Mainy]

You cant use on a bridge that it is destroyed =p change line

• Set Sample_Group = (Units whitin 250.00 of Sample_Point ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is Magic Imunne) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is Alive) Equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True structure
• s
• s Add (Matching unit) is Invulnerable) Not equal to True)
• s to make selected doodads indestructible

 

[Damage]

This system is absolutely flawless, fantastic and VERY easy to use. I bow down to this GUI god. It will come in great use on my new map project.

 

[ChaosKnight]

Code? My computer couldnt find link..

 

[Quehn]

Awesome spell.

I've imported it into a map of mine (gave you credit ect.), but it sometimes causes quite heavy game lag when the knockback occurs in game. I only adjusted the speed and distance per level to make it fit better in my map.

Is it just my sucky pc or ?

 

[Paladon]

Be sure that you're not using somekind of terrain deformation.

 

[LordAragorn]

I use it in my map and it is very cool, but after playing a while, some knockbacks knock to much, some to less and some don´t do anything.

Do u maybe know why?

(this is the map http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/pain-within-depths-2-6-b-152284/)

 

[SolidusBlitz]

ummm.....what about the variables?am i suppose to create the variables one by one?...

 

[xorkatoss]

hey dude awesome system!! 5/5 +rep

can you help me a bit with the knockback distance?

Sample Melee Knockback Spell

• Sample Melee Knockback Spell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Power Shot (Archer)
  • Actions
    • -------- This are the applied actions of the 'Actions to apply' trigger. --------
    • Set KBA_Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set KBA_TargetUnit = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set KBA_StartingPosition = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set KBA_Level = (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit))
    • Set KBA_Speed = 7.00
    • Set KBA_DistancePerLevel = 150.00
    • Set KBA_DestroyTrees = True
    • Trigger - Run Cast A Knockback <gen> (checking conditions)
    • -------- --------

i want the knockback distance to be the same for every level...how can i do that?

or maybe you could make a Boolean that to choose if you want distance to increase every lvl or not?

EDIT:
nvm i figured out how to do it by myself, thnx for not bothering to help me...

 

[kurtgiogi]

Cool, Thanks Paladon... at last iv'e founded this friggin' spell... anyways, it is good... i have tested it out 5/5

 

[RakEnRoL]

Why is this removed?! D: DAMN

 

[Bribe]

Cause it is a deprecated resource and for other reasons listed.

 

[Damage]

Reasons listed where? Damn, this was an epic resource, so why'd it have to go? Luckily I have a copy of the system already held in a "big resource" map file I have.

 

[Bribe]

Read the mod review at the resource description.

 

[The._RexT]

how to set custom damage to this?

 

[Weng]

i can't even understand how the Starting_Point Work

 

[Graveworm]

This resource is not available

 

[Jimbo123]

Epic. Thank you!

 

[HandsOfficial]

PS: I made this system because i got much requests by beginners: 'How to create a knockback ?'.
I hope it will help them

YOU ARE THE GOD OF GUI DUDE!!!! dont let the haters hate!

P.S.
can we turn off the line:
set variableset KB_DestroyTrees[KB|GeneralIntegers[1]]=KB_DestroyTrees[KB_TotalKnockUnits]
As to get rid of the tree destruction aspect of it?

 

[Gwynbleidd]

Excellent!
