Wind

[thienjay]

what i want to do is add wind in my game.... my map is kindly like sliding on ice with normal speed , exp : Area of Ice Escape.. and in the map have many stages to complete... each stage will change to different map... i know my explanation isn't good enough... but i want to learn this kind of trigger if there is any of it...
the wind will increase the speed of my heros/car when sliding on ice...
i have no idea on how to do that.. please any help?

use a periodic time to increase the speed of all units on the ice.

Make a trigger that moves the unit in the direction of the wind when on ice.

Trigger1
Event: every 1 second
Condition
Action: pick every unit in playable map area and do actions
Loop: set windpoint to position of picked unit
If then else multiple functions
If terrain type at windpoint is ice
Then instantly move unit to windpoint offset by 25 in 90 degrees

The 25 in the move unit action can be changed to make the wind 'stronger'. Similarly, you can adjust the periodic event. The 90 in the move unit action determines the direction of the wind. 360/0 is up, 90 is right, 180 down and 270 left. This is for very realistic wind as wind only blows in one direction =)

Very funneh.
Hold-on, I'll post teh triggers for ya!

Edit:
You need some variables:
Point variable named "TempPoint", array 1.
Real variable named "Speed", array 1.
Unit Group variable named "TempGroup", array 1.

    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup[1])

To make them slide but still able to walk/cast abilities or anything else, you should do set x and y. To do this, you can just add to giant crabs trigger.

set x = (X of (TempPoint[1]))
set y = (Y of (TempPoint[1]))
custom script: call SetUnitX(GetEnumUnit(), x)
custom script: call SetUnitY(GetEnumUnit(), y)

x and y are "Real" variables

If you just set the units location, it will pretty much be disabled and you wont be able to order it to do anything, idk if you want that to happen.
