Congratulations on your first medal. I'd argue that's one of the hardest medals to earn

Congrats on Your first medal! You totally deserve it!

Hey,

don't wanna derail GenoHacker's thread. I'm right now writing a tutorial on optimization and I have this section about exactly this topic. Do you think I should remove it?

"As a GUI user, you have the option to either use JASS or Lua as your scripting language, with JASS being the default. If you switch to Lua, not much will change for you except that upon saving your map, your map script will be transpiled to Lua, which is about 10x faster than JASS. There is the caveat that, if you choose to use external resources, you're restricted to those written in Lua. However, many creators provide both JASS and Lua versions these days or might be willing to provide a Lua translation upon request. You have to make the decision if this increase in performance is worth the downside."

hey there uncle i just found a camera system you made (well maybe not a system? but kinda a small system like the one you made) by searching through old posts for a camera check i wanted to do. although i noticed these are not marked as your resources (like the small sound system you made for me which btw is amazing and other systems are not as simple and gui friendly) why not post it?
oh speaking of that is there a way using that small sound system to make a sound stack a limited ammount of times? (1 to play it a single time or 100 so that it can play in up to 100 instances)

That thread was a double post from when they put up their first thread, not a new one from today. Everyone ignored it except Gnuoy, lul.

Half the time I get alerts for threads you've helped people with I read their next question and go "well now I have to read all of Uncle's examples and figure out where that would fit in." ... "Nah." and close the thread, lol.

Thanks a lot for all your replys 80% of my questions so far since i returned to the warcraft edition envoirement were answered by you with clear and great examples , thank you so much man!

Did… did the posts about Blizzard copyright get deleted from that CDR thread? I went to reply and they no longer appear.

Am I the crazy one here?

Would be neat to start a thread or paste or something with the latest patch mapping issues/workarounds.

Any way to place an item on water besides making it shallow?
I guess I'll have to work with dummy locust units and use a unit withing distance of unit... create an item in the inventory of the hero approaching.

Good evening sir. This is the Spell Book use police. We heard you aren't using any, ever.
Why is that sir?

Growing older, tsk, tsk.

This guy is a legend

Hey @Uncle long time! Any ideas on this issue? Missile (splash) + Orb of annihilation issue

Hey Uncle! How are you doing? You seem like a Warcraft III genius. I wonder how old are you, and what is your occupation?

Yo. Any idea why a unit being moved after each 0.1s to a certain point can't also attack? It's weird. If I disable the instant move trigger, the unit can attack.

You are a genius. If I had a job, I would pay you!

I think I need a hashtable for points.
Trying to do the whole array thing but was thinking I need an array within an array, or a two-dimensional array.
So each player has 4 points corresponding to 4 different teams.
then I want to be able to use loops and [variables] in the array slot.
then there are 12 different players.

Looking at hashtable settings I don't see point handle as an option.

Does this make any sense? You are normally good at understanding my nonsense.

Thank you for any insight you may have!

if anyone reading this is considering hiring this man for any sort of coding work, do it while you can afford him. Just finished about a month long project and it could not have been smoother or more professionally handled despite me throwing a few curve balls mid play. Clear communication, speedy adjustments, good suggestions on how to improve other stuff and included bonus delivery of simplified tools for me to adjust & expand the system without having to learn to code. just pretty much killed it and made it look easy.

Awesome. However, there are some issues with the lightning FX going over screen to the north at times especially if the unit is near that part of the screen when attacking and if there's other phoenixes attacking around. Tested on Classic.

Thank you so much!

hi guys ，i want to make a map with local game，when i live，i want to play with fans（they can send message in my live room）in wc3 old version i have already complete this game （use io and 3rd system pull live room message）but now i want 2 change the game to new engine（reforget version）i saw some thread like how to use preload to save/load data，when i try it，the load function maybe load at once，That's means when i rewrite date in same file，its allways read a old value. cloud you give me some idea to deal with this problem?（wc3 runtime env how 2 read 3rd system data）many thanks！

Man, you are getting older, way too fast.

Hi MR,
how are you doing, I'm making a tower defense using your template Custom Tower TD, the problem is that I have 4 spawns for 4 players but I want the enemys to spawn even if the players are not connected or no starting the game.
Oh yes is first time i try make one map,i have so idea on my head for my td ^^

Hey man, when you have time and if you want to, please give another look to the shields map and tell me if there's anything more I should improve.

Have any idea about this?

Hey, does special FX rendering "leak"? I mean, if you get too many appearing (via triggers) can it slow down the game? I'm testing the shield system with many units and it happens even though the leak cleaning works (e.g. the FX don't remain there; they're destroyed and I assume their points as well). Might the size of FX have something to do with it?

Hey, sorry to bother you again. Is there any way to detect when an aura effect/buff takes effect without using a periodic trigger, and who the aura belongs to?

I had no idea there was a custom script for skins and it can simply read the raw code "names"/ids. Thanks.

We need a tutorial on how to fix this that we can link to people: Call off AI control of units

I don't know of a comprehensive AI guard position one, do you?

Hey, sorry for another bother. Using 1.35's inbuilt DDS, how would one detect that a certain spell did the damage and not the unit having the spell?
I assume that for Storm Bolt I could do something like a unit takes damage and then check the damage source (damaging unit) and the target having the storm bolt stun buff? Although that would trigger again after the unit damages the target having the storm bolt buff again.
Blizzard has no buff. I guess I could make a dummy unit to cast it instead but that would be killer and besides the point.

Most don't know but isn't it more mental hurting when you actually know?

Thank you so much for helping with triggers! Would probably be stuck forever and you're always here! Really appreciate everything you do!

Also, the Damage related conditions/actions are under the Event Response category for some dumb reason, Reforged devs were clueless.

Holy. Fuck.

Hello Uncle.
I was asking many questions before but your guidance was so good that I no longer feel the need to ask so much. Hope you are doing good!
I'm still working on my map but there is so much to do! Hopefully I will manage to finish it one day.
“If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” You definitely taught me how to fish, you are a very good teacher.
Kind regards, Paragon/hugope.

Hmm, so, it's Warcraft Moderator Moderator. So, moderating Warcraft moderation. Basically you are an inspector.

thanks for the help

Thanks for your continuous help, much appreciated

The Triggers police has arrived!

Thanks for being here man! Without you it would be hard for many. Thank you!

Any chance you know an efficient way to trigger an aoe cast that favors the highest unit count hit and is closest?
"Mostunitshit>Closest>Everythingelse."

Been doing it with a lich casting frost nova but it keeps bugging out.
Paste of Map i've been toying with so far.

I'm so grateful for your trigger help. Your methods are so elegant. I have several triggers in my map that you helped me with and they all work 100% of the time. You most recently helped me with my parse trigger for wc3stats.com, and after nearly a dozen games, it has parsed every player with 100% accuracy. Thank you so much. I wish I could repay you somehow/someday.

Congrats! You indeed are the best fit for this position!

Well, I hope people doesn't start coming at you complaining about their resources moderation though

Fancy new title!
Hiyah! nice going!

Didn't get the news but congratulations, whatever that title means
