There's no point in using using this in an if-statement as a condition, it would always return true.
Damage will be 0 with abilities and etc of course. You missed the point, if I want to make the unit miss the target, then there should be a function for it, without the target actually being hit and without setting the damage = 0, it won't be a real miss because the hit sound still plays.
No idea what you're talking about, if a unit miss the target, he misses, doesn't deal damage. If a unit has splash damage and missile type, it will never miss.
Now that you mention it, it probably has something to do with what I said, with splash damage. Still, need to test what that thing does exactly.
native IsAbilityPassive takes integer abilityId returns boolean
//Detect ability is passive or not
native PlayerShareUnitVisionEx takes player whoShare, player toShare, boolean share returns boolean
//Share vision of units inventory cd, Abilities and also abilities cd, without control to player
//or just new ALLIANCE_TYPE variable
native PlayerShareUnitVision takes unit wichUnit, player toWichPlayer, boolean share returns boolean
//Same as previous, but only for selected unit shared vision of cd, inventory and etc. Without control
//or just new ALLIANCE_TYPE variable
native GetConvertedType takes type wichType returns integer
//Thats means you can take every primitive type wich converted with function Convert....(int) and get index(integer) of this
//For example UNIT_TYPE_PEON = ConvertUnitType(16), so you can:
//local integer utype = GetConvertedType(UNIT_TYPE_PEON) thats means utype = 16
native GetFilterInteger takes integer wichFilter returns boolean
//Uses previous function GetConvertedType in filter functions, thats means will be worked more faster than filtering unittypes, itemtypes and etc, and will be universally for every filters
native RealWithInt takes integer beforeDotl, integer AfterDot returns real
//thats means you can make any real with integer arguments, for example:
//local integer i = 123
//local integer a = 5
//local real b = realRealWithInt(a,i) thats will be looks like a.i or 5.123, or:
//====================
//local integer i = 143
//local real a = RealWithInt(5,i) and will looks like a = 5.143
native GetIntFromReal takes real arg1, boolean afterDot returns integer
//returns an value integer of real after dot
//For example
//local real a = 3.14
//local integer i = GetIntFromReal(a,true) wich returns 14, or GetIntFromReal(a,false) wich returns 3
native RootReal takes real arg, real rootArg returns real
//returns a root of real from pow rootArg
//For example local real a = 156
// local real b = RootReal(a, 5) thats means some value x^5 = a, so this function will return x
type matrix extends smth... or not extends
//new type wich will an alternative of hashtables with every size as you want for example wich also emulate an 2D and 3D massives and works more faster and universally, and you can save every type with same values of matrix.
for example:
you can save in matrix with X=1 coordinate, Y=1 coordinate, Z=1 coordinate a unit and also an integer,
when you save a different types in same coordinates, VM will create a different adresses in memory.
Its more comfortable and more faster for use than a big hashtables. As you know, for save in hash a different values you should do smth like this:
// call SaveUnitHandle(h,GetHandleId(smth),0,unit)
and you cant save the different value in childhash and you should for save other different value make another point in childhash...call SaveInteger((h,GetHandleId(smth),1,integer) and etc...
but with matrix you can save this in same coordinates. Sorry for my engl. its hard to explain.:)
Who understand what is matrix, should to know)

//Set a value (any type) of matrix in xyz coordinate
native GetMatrixValue takes integer x, integer y, integer z return type
//returns a type wich saved in coordinates xyz, so if there is a unit, then matrix will return unit, if there //is an integer, then will return integer F.E:
local unit a = GetMatrixValue(1,4,2) so its should return (unit for example). If there is //no unit, then return null.
also in same time:
local real b = GetMatrixValue(1,4,2)
native SetEventPriority takes trigger trig, type eventype, integer priority returns nothing
//set a value of priority of fire events with same eventid, value > means more priority
//to avoid a big systems with that
native SetEventPriorityEx takes type eventype, type eventtype2, integer priority returns nothing
//set a value of a events fire priority, thats means priority between different events wich fire for unit use an item and event cast ability for example, you can setup a priority wich event will fire first for all map...wich event will fire first
native GetUnitAnimationByIndex takes unit u returns integer
//returns an index of unit's current animation
native GetUnitAnimation takes unit u returns string
//also returns string name of unit's current animation
constant event UNIT_REGISTER_GOT_ABILITY(aslo buff)

native UnitAddStun takes unit u, boolean add returns boolean
//that means you can add/remove to unit a stun buff, doesnt matter immuned he or not.
//also returns boolean for using in condition checks.
native UnitAddBuff takes unit u, integer buffId, boolean add returns boolean
//just add a buff to unit with icon without real effects and also returns a boolean
native GetMaximumInt takes integer ArrayInt, integer arrayMin, integer arrayMax returns integer
//returns a maximumal integer wich has been defined in array
//here is a problem to define as argument array type so need a new native to save a variable name in //string and convert it back like smth
(native Var2String takes type wichType returns string)
//and also
(native String2Var takes string wichString returns type)
//have no idea how to realize this but i guess its possible, in example mb this will looks like
local integer array A
local string name = Var2String(A)
local integer maxInt
//some code with define a integers values
set maxInt = GetMaximumInt(String2Var(name),2(min array index from where to start),15(max array index when to stop))
native GetMaximumReal takes real ArrayReal, integer arrayMin, integer arrayMax returns real
//same as GetMaximumInt algorithm...
//ALSO IF TYPE IS NOT ARRAY, then just return 0
Also same natives with GetMinimalInt/Real...The hell? Why would you want an event for detecting when an ability was added when you can simply do "UnitAddAbility(etc)" whenever you want and with that you already know it was added? How would this even respond to morphing units?
Not sure where this would be useful for. Where would you use this?
A disabler but no enabler? More like this
native TriggerDisableEvent takes trigger t, event e, boolean flag returns nothing
//disable an event of trigger, very usefull if trigger for example got more than 1 different eventsDo these even have any practical use?
What does that even mean to save code? If a timer has a code callback then it already is saved, or retained? Unless it also uses other codes. Probably also gets in conflit.
What happens if an idiot gets more than 1 triggercondition/triggeraction?
None of these seem to have any use besides not making sense at all, and duplicated native names, a setter doesn't make sense to return something here honestly.
Not needed, in 1.31.1 we can access object fields, however some of them don't work yet.
Irrelevant if no timeout specified, and stacking would be good. Makes no sense to take a boolean "add" if the native itself is called UnitAddStun, why would anyone use false? You Can simply remove the buff with the already existing native. Has no purpose being able to use in if statements. Has no source.
native UnitApplyUnitStun takes unit source, unit target, real timeout, boolean stack returns boolean
//that means you can stun buff to a unit, doesn't matter if immune.Irrelevant with same points as last one, also, no point to have a buff if there isn't effect.
No, just no. One could simply define the start point and end point of an array and do their job without any effort, no need for this overcomplicated scenarios.
What does that even mean to save code? If a timer has a code callback then it already is saved, or retained? Unless it also uses other codes. Probably also gets in conflit.
try to start a periodic timer, pause and resume after and you will see why this should be fixed...
yes, if you need a priority to fire events. for example spell event fires first than event using item...dude, try first to check events until ask this and comment
are you sure that this no need?))) when you get an acces to object fields, this does not change the time instantly. I mean here a native wich change this instantly.
and how you can put an array in function argument?))) tell me. Everytime to create a loop when you need a get max or min value in array?)) this natives just should make a life of modder easy.
P.S. You prefer to create a tons of code with systems? Or for example you can a detect how many time remains a timed buff like morph ability of unit with new 1.31.1 natives?)) no, you cant. Or detect wichh exactly buff unig got, timed or not? Loop with checking a list of defined abilities every times instead a just calling a function? My english istn perfect, but i hope you get my idea. Here i just throw an ideas of functions, and how they can help. Or why you think its bad when you can work with triggers events and indexed them? If your map got a 10 triggers with same event, how you can control wich should fire first without a system? No you cant, i created the system for that, but i prefer use natives and less code in map. How many times i needed a function for example wich can detect, a variable is defined in that function or not for example, this will very helpfull to create a systems of spells and etc.

And were you thinking about their accuracy?
idk, never had a this questions, but ive seen some hidden and also seen an orders about resource gathering.
anyway, more natives - more good maps and more players. So ofc they should be , also im for a less shaman's dances of users to find a descisions of their questions.
Everything they have added starts with Blz and can be found here: common.j -- patch 1.31.1 | HIVE
Nice, that's a whole lot better than piecing together individual patch notes like I suggested, unless you need more info than a signature. Do you know of any plans to make a more usable (organized and/or descriptive) documentation for the latest API?
Some of that is fine then, because the need was filled using a different name / implementation than the original plan, and you just aren't looking for the right thing.

doing it "other ways" should take less memory, not more. my point was that you are no longer forced to create dummy units because of the new natives. i doubt anyone will use dummy casters again by choice for custom spells. the proxy API may eventually appear if there is enough need to support dynamic casts of existing vanilla spells. i wouldn't count on it, given an alternative has been supplied
i think this has been said a few times now, though maybe in slightly less obvious terms
Considering that the first reply to my question said "All of them were added long ago" (which is completely false), the second and third responses can be surmised as "Some of them, but not all of them and some will be removed or not exist in the future" followed by a slew of unrelated comments, I hope you can see why I was confused.Serenity09 said:
For your specific question, you'd want to keep references to both the unit caster of the spell and the special effects/locations representing each shockwave. Then you'd update those references over time, both to visually display the spell and apply damage from the appropriate source (the original caster). You could connect this code by listening for vanilla unit spell/ability casts via
call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(YourSpellTrigger, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT) and then, in the event callback, check GetSpellAbilityId() returned the same raw object ID as your placeholder spell/ability (raw ID code can be found in the object editor)I'm in agreement with you, I think that the Proxy API supports dynamic casts of existing vanilla spells. Currently, your plan to just cast 5 vanilla shockwaves with slight configuration changes to each is a great fit for the Proxy API
First off, you're being a little dramatic, it's like maybe 3-4 lines of JASS code to move a point over time in a straight line, and reposition the special effect on that point. Add another 6 lines for damaging everything in a radius around the point each tick. You could literally be done with the entire thing by the time we've had this full conversation, even if you had to look up how to use sin and cos to do it
The special effect API isn't driving anything beyond the visual component of the spell. Whatever is calling the special effect API is also applying the damage to hit targets, and just as easily apply curse to hit targets. So yes, you're mostly right
Sorry, I got confused to what you meant. I thought you just meant the special effect, but you mean the whole buff. You're right that there's still no way to add buffs/debuffs to units outside of casting spells/abilities. This could be addressed via casting a spell resulting in the desired buff using the Proxy API, but would be more directly solved via a Buff API, which was in the original wish list. I would guess that the Buff API is one of the higher priority remaining features, given that they've already started the push for fully scripted spells, before Blizz goes into pure QA/QC mode
it's sorta an exercise in patience at the moment. it's funny because the longer we have to wait for reforged to release the more likely we are to get these functions. the majority of new/high-risk scope will probably happen before release, and then there will likely be a greater emphasis on continued stability
BlzSendSyncData native with all players registered to receive it.
I know you can do the projectile without a dummy, but you still have to write all of its movement yourself. But you can't do an effect like apply a debuff / buff yet without dummies.
The point of publicly available libraries that this site hosts is specifically to address this so you don’t have to do it yourself if you find it to be a pain. One person writes and perfects something and everyone benefits.
