Jass Region Die On Quickwrite v3.0 v3.0

[Koga73]

YAY! they finnaly updated it onto the site!

btw, if for some reason u install it and it still doesnt work, just extract the .CAB file with winzip, then copy the exe stored within the .CAB file into a folder, and run the exe.

Wtf? Doesn't work for me :? , is this made for win98?

 

[WarriorofWinter]

No, it isn't designed for win98... Certainly not...
This thing had put my system down twice !
When I install it, a lot of .dll error surround !

If you download it, save your personnal files before...

By the way, it doesnt even work on Linux with cedega... So I will never use it...

A: Dont use all caps in the description it looks totally gay
B: Your program uses a very common dll and it wont work for some reason
C: Why do you even need to install it? It should extract into a folder and work like all the other GOOD programs

 

[K1LL3R]

ummmm you guys are strange...i dont know bout you but all i had to do was extract the file and walla...it worked and i used it in my mze and also worked perfect...to the author good job!

Do you even need to use regions to make people die? I mean for my maze maps i make a trigger so if they stand on grass or whatever the tileset is for were you cant stand, the unit dies it works for me.

This doesn't seem to be useful to me thanks to the amazing ability to simply check what terrain the enemy is standing on and kill them if its not the kind of terrain you want. Its true checking only when they enter regions will save some cpu power but I still don't think its worth the time of using this program accept if its 150% integrated with WE which would be much more then in any right i can ask.

 

[KoE-Death]

There is an easyer way than making all the regions lol do a Terain type comparison

 

[sl4y3r1980]

wow... nice JASS writer... Could I have this one???

 

[maplover]

hey dude could you explain it in a detail way how to use it ...
im not so good at this but i really need it ...
got a detail tuto? plz send me link ..or write here plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

OK first thing u guys who say "Just check the Terrain." Sorry but you have no clue what a good maze is then. Terrain kill kills you just cus ur nearby. It sucks big time. A real maze maker uses Regions. Its old school, and its better.

how do you do that thats the reason why i download it but it dont work

 

[fsngnshiekfan]

dosent work, i try running setup.exe and it pops up 2 error messages in my face then closes the setup

I say "Just check the Terrain". You can also check nearby terrain types, and then detect the border style (diagonal for example) and calculate the EXACT terrain on that position.

Of course this depends on the tiles used, because stones overlap dirt, but grass overlaps dirt (or something like that)

Example for PATHABLE = dirt, and other tile = grass/stones. For other tiles the function has to be changed of course. However, it's possible and consumes way less space in a map. It is even more precise, because rects are rectangular... This one can also detect diagonal borders.

But you are right, a real maze maker does not know how to do this and uses regions instead. This would only be used by imaginary perfect maze maker who does not exist in reality.

I personally used it for a 2d physics simulator and replaced the dirt with space-like textures, so grass looked like the only solid ground. Also worked for stones as stones overlap dirt, too.

    function GetTerrainNormal_IsPathable takes real X, real Y returns boolean
        local real GridX = R2I(X/128+RSignBJ(X)*0.5)*128
        local real GridY = R2I(Y/128+RSignBJ(Y)*0.5)*128
        local integer i = 0
        local boolean b = GetTerrainType(GridX,GridY)==PHYSX_TERRAIN_PATHABLE_TILE
        local boolean c = false
        if RAbsBJ(X-GridX)+RAbsBJ(Y-GridY)<64 then
            return b
        endif
        set GridX = R2I(X/128)*128+RSignBJ(X)*64
        set GridY = R2I(Y/128)*128+RSignBJ(Y)*64
        if GetTerrainType(GridX+64,GridY+64)==PHYSX_TERRAIN_PATHABLE_TILE then
            set i = i + 1
            if GetTerrainType(GridX-64,GridY-64)==PHYSX_TERRAIN_PATHABLE_TILE then
                set i = i + 1
                set c = true
            endif
        elseif GetTerrainType(GridX-64,GridY-64)==PHYSX_TERRAIN_PATHABLE_TILE then
            set i = i + 1
        endif
        if GetTerrainType(GridX+64,GridY-64)==PHYSX_TERRAIN_PATHABLE_TILE then
            set i = i + 1
            if GetTerrainType(GridX-64,GridY+64)==PHYSX_TERRAIN_PATHABLE_TILE then
                set i = i + 1
                set c = true
            endif
        elseif GetTerrainType(GridX-64,GridY+64)==PHYSX_TERRAIN_PATHABLE_TILE then
            set i = i + 1
        endif
        if i>2 then
            return true
        elseif i<2 or (c and RAbsBJ(X-GridX)+RAbsBJ(Y-GridY)<32) then
            return false
        endif
        return b
    endfunction

Issue: The second "v3.0" in the titles of the post and the content is superfluous.
