KB3D - Knock back 3D

[T. D. W.]

xD i know 4D is time and space travel somehow
so it will simulate it by hiding/showing
with my knowledge of eye-candyness
i will make it PERFECT, like ususal
if we only take time, like he is moved through time, then he just needs the blink ability xD

 

[T. D. W.]

read my post

 

[Malhorne]

Yes the 4th dimension in relativist theory of Einstein is the time but in concrete we can call this spacetime

I worked on relativity last year I got some memories xD

 

[Malhorne]

Ah yes !
We need a special version only for us with skirts (mini ones)

Lol it's so hard to just not post after every single post from others...

I'm like, i want, no you shouldn't, no i want, no you shouldn't, nevermind you are not even real... Posts

 

[Malhorne]

Lol you made me laugh x)

 

[T. D. W.]

Yey xD
Any way that's my thread i can post any time i want lol
I'll try to, "you may not post now" on the spellworkshop thread

 

[Malhorne]

Yes xD
I hope you'll try to do so

hi guys, well, we haven't talked too much here lately...
i'll start the topic
KB3D v. 1.6.0
will have 2 new features, one of them is not underestimated;

1st: AoEKB_Power (the power of the AoE KB [ since AoEKB automatically chooses range, speed, Z and angle, it is now slightly configurable (range, speed and Z)])
2nd: iKB

iKB refers to intelligent KB
iKB will need a new triggering for the affected features:
what will it change:
it's a boolean, so if it is true:

• Range, usually always positive, will be also possible for it to be negative, negative values will change the angle to backward (+180 degrees)
• Speed, usually always positive will be available in negative values too, it doesn't change much in the system, just that the speed will be negative (backward movement)
• Damages:
  AoEEndDamage, AoEDamage, LineDamage, ImpactDamage, TargetDamage
  All of Those ^ will turn intelligent and only Damage the target if and only if he is in approximate height of the KBed Unit, for example, in Infernal Cyclone, the spinning balls damage enemy land units even if they are flying, and damage flying units even if they are still on the ground, this will change with iKB
• AoEKB, AoEKB will also not KB units that aren't in the approx height of the KBed Unit

More specs about the iKB may be added, those are the ones for the moment

Edit, added more specs

 

[T. D. W.]

For the height detection, i can just verify if the target's height is in between 2 values
The function already exists in the code, so it is just an if block trick
No the speed isn't implemented yet
Kind of for the 2D vector

 

[T. D. W.]

let's do as usual (sometimes )
Spherical:
What does it have?
Height Calculation:
what does it have?

for now i don't really understand the spherical thing you are talking about

and for my idea of height calculation, simple and effective:
if the height of the target unit is close enough to the height of the KBed unit, then the damage will occur, or else, nothing happens

 

[Malhorne]

I'm lazy to read everything what's the matter ?

 

[T. D. W.]

KB3D v. 1.6.0 and iKB (intelligent KB)

 

[Malhorne]

iKB oO ?

 

[T. D. W.]

iKB refers to intelligent KB
iKB will need a new triggering for the affected features:
what will it change:
it's a boolean, so if it is true:

• Range, usually always positive, will be also possible for it to be negative, negative values will change the angle to backward (+180 degrees)

[Malhorne]

Ah okay.

 

[Malhorne]

What xD ?

function KB3D_isPossiblePathability takes real x, real y, real RADangle, real MaxDist, real Arc returns boolean
    local real X = 0
    local real Y = 0
    local real dist
    loop
        exitwhen (dist >= MaxDist) or (KB3D_CW(X,Y))
        set dist = dist + 0.3125
        set RADangle = RADangle + 10*Arc
        set X = x + ( dist * Cos(RADangle) )
        set Y = y + ( dist * Sin(RADangle) )
    endloop
    return KB3D_CW(X,Y)
endfunction

function KB3D_canFlyover takes unit U, real S, real MaxT, real Angle, real Arc returns boolean
    return (GetUnitFlyHeight(U) > 150) and KB3D_isPossiblePathability(GetWidgetX(U),GetWidgetY(U), Angle, S*MaxT/0.03125, Arc)
endfunction

Those are two functions i just created, they are supposed (KB3D_canFlyover) to return a boolean to if it is possible to make the unit cross a cliff knowing that it is possible for him to stop in a pathable place

so what do you think?

 

[T. D. W.]

Okay so guys, we need a system (function)
that returns true if there is an obstacle/unit near the KBed unit
and we need it to be efficient because it will trigger (1/0.03125 ) times /second / KB

Any ideas?

 

[T. D. W.]

I'll Start with the Event System.... until one of you responds :3

 

[chobibo]

set udg_EventKBEnd=1.00

That will fire the Real Variable change event, that's all you need to do.

 

[T. D. W.]

Yes... somehow
now that's my part, think of a way for the Porximity function (it doesn't include the Z offset because this part if from iKB)

 

[chobibo]

Could you explain what that is?

 

[T. D. W.]

it's the Base of the bounce feature:
The function needs to detect if there is possible units around it to "bounce" on it "or" i the terrain ahead of it isn't pathable (you just need to give the idea of the technique on how to deal with this)

 

[FUJI]

^ Use GroupEnumUnitsInRange in the KBed Unit then register the picked unit to the KB3D. then if there is some units around the KB3d Unit then bounce the KBed Unit again to the knockback

 

[chobibo]

Group Enum + Dest Enum + Cliff Detection ? I remember doing that on a tank movement system (to detect which things I bump into)

 

[FUJI]

^ What function to use to detect cliff xD?

 

[chobibo]

native GetTerrainCliffLevel takes real x, real y returns integer

 

[T. D. W.]

Okay now that i have kept your attention

ignore this phrase ^ i was kidding ..

anyway:
I guess we will use:
FirstOfGroup (since we need only one target and not more) from enumed units in range
Destructables are destroyed if Destroy Tree is true, if not it is detected as unpathable, so it will go with cliff/unpathable detection"
which is easy as easy.. .. it is already implemented as Check Walkability from PnF


EDIT: Thanks for the native.. i think i will use it XD

 

[FUJI]

@chobibo
Oh so it will detect the cliff level example:

if GetTerrainCliffLevel ( My_KBedUnitX, My_KBedUnitY ) >= 1 then
    call BounceKBedUnit( My_KBedUnit, My_KB_BouncePower )
endif

Anyway Jad you notice "My_KB_BouncePower" right?
Is that will be added to a KB3D Bounce Features? or it depends like decreasing per bounce?.

 

[T. D. W.]

I will see, but the values will be AUTOMATED just like AleEndKB

 

[chobibo]

@jake you need to compare the cliff level where the unit is at to where the unit will go

 if GetTerrainCliffLevel(x,y)==GetTerrainCliffLevel(newX,newY) then

In this case, you need to know if your going down a cliff, or going to hit a cliff wall so:

 set level=GetTerrainCliffLevel(newX,newY)-GetTerrainCliffLevel(x,y)
 if level==0 then
  //same level
 elseif level>0 then
  //your going to hit a cliff wall
 else
  //your going down a pit
 endif

 

[T. D. W.]

Chobi, someone i don't know who, but the rate was fixed to 5/5

 

[chobibo]

who could that be? interesting...

 

[FUJI]

What happen to the system and what's new? XD.

 

[T. D. W.]

Still working on v. 1.8.0
The new features are giving me a hard time + i'm sick :/

 

[chobibo]

Get well soon bro. You should get some rest, you must have been over-stressing yourself.

 

[T. D. W.]

XD, thanks, but that's not it, i was taking a bath, after it i didn't wear socks.. And there was a cold weather ... So i got a cold :/

 

[chobibo]

Oh man! XD, don't forget it next time.

 

[T. D. W.]

Yeah don't worry

 

[T. D. W.]

I need some help here, cuz i'm getting late with v. 1.8.0
So here is the first problem:

function KB3D_ClosestUnit takes unit U, real x, real y, integer Loop returns unit
    local real max = 99999999
    local real r
    local group g = CreateGroup()
    local unit u
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g, x, y, KB3D_GetUnitCollision(U)*2.5, function KB3D_True)
    loop
        set u = FirstOfGroup(g)
        call GroupRemoveUnit(g,u)
        if KB3D_Filter(u, U, Loop) then
            if not(LoadBoolean(udg_KB3D_HA, 44, Loop)) then
                //if 
            elseif KB3D_Approx(u, U, Loop) then
                //call UnitDamageTarget(Damager, U, LineD, true, false, AType, DType, WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS)
            endif
        endif
    endloop
    return u
endfunction

Okay, so this function is made for detecting the closest unit to a point, i got a response for this way before in time.. but the thread was removed from my subscription, and i forgot how it was done...

can someone fix it please, a ASAP is highly wanted :/

 

[chobibo]

Who gave you that script?

 

[T. D. W.]

Don't remember who, but i remember that the code was something like this

The meaning of this was to pick all units in the group, set a variable to the distance between him and the point, continue to check if there is a unit that has a distance less than the one in the variable

 

[chobibo]

Haha, one of my badass moments, the time where I could argue with guys like Maker... It's related to your closest unit function.

 

[T. D. W.]

okay, mind if you convert it to JASS, and use firstofgroup

 

[chobibo]

no problem, that's why I linked it lol.
