Cool one part fixed, thanks ruler. Now why is it not bouncing...

It's a complete mess so I apologize, I was working on two types of systems and was going to merge them. Will show you when its done if you want as well. =)

However I don't know how to make it go to where I click with move order as well bounce is no longer working as well... =( http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=witt00

Sure, shortly.

That doesn't fix anything, that's exactly what I am already using... Leaks will be fixed when the system actually works. =)

I am using what you suggested first and that's that #2 trigonometry.

kick

Set ZXx = (ZX_speed x (Cos(ZXangle)))
Set ZXy = (ZX_speed x (Sin(ZXangle)))

Move

How exactly do I combine the two? When I use the ability it just goes a straight line rightish upwards... Will see what I did wrong, if I can't find it... Hope I can ask for your help again. =) I am trying to learn better/more advanced math for all kinds of stuff however I always have struggled with well shapes in math. Geometry... Not my best subject that's for sure, thanks so much for all the help ruler. Really appreciate it.

Sure I can try my best to explain my thoughts on how that was, Orb was more of a console game which is nearly unique on WC3 while Ring Out has been done several times. The mechanics are similar indeed however they are different at the same time. The design is what changed my opinion and why there was a difference of 3. Both were very well-done maps.

I'm glad, however the winning entry isn't that regular. Remember the theme of the contest? It was impressive that someone could combine that with an RPG. I didn't think it was possible for it to be any fun, though Tickles was doing something similar to that before he decided to drop out. I think anyways. It doesn't have to be ground-breaking unique to win. It followed the theme perfectly and managed to impress me. The story and atmosphere sure didn't feel regular. Your map was definitely interesting and it managed to add a new version to its genre however it wasn't unique. I'm sorry, just my opinion. I actually wanted you to win ruler, even a lot of other people did too. However my wants won't affect my judging.

Thank you, if I have further questions I will definitely ask. =)

----------
I'm struggling to understand how Project ORB and Ring Out get such different originality and gameplay scores (Dat-C3's scores) for what is basically the same thing. But, well, opinions and all that ;p
----------
They were both different genre's entirely. In my eyes that is, both were reviewed and judged equally while one scored higher in some categories the other did better in others. The difference of 3 was because of the concept and design. =) Hope I answered your questions ruler, I apologize if you think my judging was unfair. I really liked your entry, but the version you submitted at the end sadly wasn't the one you fixed after. If you have further questions, feel free to ask me.

Sorry to bother you again.... Quick question... How do I use that bouncing thing as an ability to like throw a ball. I don't exactly see how to grab the location of a cast target point to direct the unit to with the current system.

I am such a bad triggerer lol, thanks so much ruler. =)

I was hoping you could help me with http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/lab-715/curious-bouncing-254999/ , I tried to follow what you said however apparently I am doing something wrong.

Do you have any new maps coming out?

Hello,

Perhaps you are interested to participate in Zephyr Contest #12?
(It's the theme polling thread, link to the contest is available there)

(Post) Thank you for sharing. Your story is enlightening and encouraging.

And I reply to you after almost two months, sorry for that, I forget to visit I've been good, haven't done any mapping in ages, haven't played warcraft in a long time as well, I played dota, but then I switched to dota 2. I'm finishing uni next year (architecture) hope to get a job asap. But I miss the old days, maps and mods site, that was awesome. Oh man, my maps sucked so hard, I remember when you tried to be nice when I asked you to review some of my first maps, but those were horrid.

Hey rulerofiron99

Because you showed interest in my turn based combat system: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/detecting-limiting-traveled-distance-255134/

I wanted to have your opinion on a very early stage of the gameplay. I made a short video to show have it works.


My apologies for the low resolution but it is actually visible what's going on.
