wish to work again on the flaws of your system.

Bribe: This has a bug that accidentally destroys bridges in range. This could also get a huge benefit from using the ArrowKey system which would prevent a lot of duplicated functions and search methods.

It also can a lot of improvement like using the Widget API instead of the worse GetUnitState/GetDestructableX/Y type things.

Please comment and suggest improvements!

Hey just to let you know that this system is awesome. I was looking for something like this all the time.

Perhaps you can do this for regular Jass =X

Well anyways I think I found a bug? O more likely a camera problem. The unit starts spinning like crazy.

Well here is the replay. It's at the very end.

I tested it found no bugs and i really like it, good job!

I give you 8/10

 

[Element of Water]

Thanks for your comments guys, and mario, I found that bug last night too, but couldn't be bothered posting it as I was too tired. I am working on it now. Putting this into regular JASS... well I could do it, but I'd have to make lots of arrays to mimic structs etc and it would take time, so I'm not sure I'm gonna do it...

 

[Element of Water]

Big update! See the changelog.

 

[mario_64]

Yes I guess your right I better get New Gen for vJass

 

[Vercas]

hi element

 

[Vercas]

You found a realy BIG BUG!!! When you press up+right you go backward but turn left!!! And up+left makes you go backward and go right! this is a bug!!!! in real world isn't like this!

 

[Element of Water]

Erm... please explain... it's not like this for me... is your keyboard layout different to normal?

 

[HorizonTal]

Haha! great movement system! I had a lot of fun CRUSHING the forests! I have 2 questions:

1- Does it work for multiple players?

2- How can you make the car stop hitting walls? My god! I want that feature in my movement system!

Then I think you should make backward movement possible.

 

[Element of Water]

Sorry for replying so late. Yes it does work for multiple players and backward movement is possible. Thanks for nice comments.

 

[Hanky]

Well good job and good scripting. Currently I see nothing wrong with the script. And also for newbies it could be easy to config.

From me you get 5/5. The only bad thing as always is the small delay. But well it's Blizzards fault not yours.

 

[Element of Water]

Thanks Hanky

 

[sinjako]

This is very good. i can imagine myself using this.
but shouldnt you have this in tools since techically, this isnt a spell but a tool to help mapmakers?

 

[mario_64]

very nice like i said before, I think you should make another version but for units.

 

[Element of Water]

You can just set damage to 0 when you call the function, to stop it killing units

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

A very good system.

 

[mario_64]

found more bugs! replaY:Pastebin - The Hive Workshop - Warcraft 3 Maps, Icons, Spells, Tools, Tutorials, Skins, Models, Campaigns, Scenarios



BUGS at the end.


What i meant with a unit version is something where you play like in zelda in third person with JASS movement. But its ok if u dont want to make it.

 

[Element of Water]

I could do that I suppose... but not right now....

And about the bugs - that replay doesn't work because I don't have the test map - need to send me that too to make it work

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Can you make an example to work like TcX movement ? left=left, down=down, Right=right, etc. ?? I need it.

 

[Element of Water]

I know what you mean. Mario suggested it already. But I dunno if I can be bothered to do it after all the effort I already put into it...

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Ok, tnx anyway, i'll try to do it by myself.
Btw, good movement system you got there.

 

[Acvong]

When i set the speed to something like -speed 1 it starts teleporting me everywhere but still great system (very fun lol)

 

[Element of Water]

speed 1 starts teleporting you everywhere??? I'd have thought that would have been more like speed 50...

 

[Dethadow]

Very cool... I just found one serious bug......When you right click where you want to go... It all gets messed up

 

[Element of Water]

That's not possible to solve except for disabling right-click orders... and anyway, if you're not moving and you right-click somewhere it works alright.

 

[Royy]

AMAZING! System, i love it. I found two bugs though, if you haven't noticed:
1. When moving extremely fast gates don't get destroyed
2. After bumping a couple units the siege tanks facing point was messed up

Screenshot

 

[Element of Water]

1. Increase the FPS to avoid that. Increasing the FPS might make it laggy though...
2. I know about that. You should set the unit's acquisition range in the editor to 0 to avoid that happening.

 

[LordPicolo]

I keep geting these erors when i save my map http://i43.tinypic.com/2u763vq.jpg. Does this have to do with the fact that I have war ver 1.22?

 

[Element of Water]

Oh sorry, you're using that GUI template I put on the map aren't you? That thing doesn't work right since the last time i updated it. If you can't work it out from my JASS explanation, just post back and I'll fix the GUI template.

 

[LordPicolo]

Well i tried but i never jassed before and i keep geting a "Function Redeclared" error with the statarrowcontrol.I dont know why and i dont know how to fix it either so it will help me alot if you fix the GUI template.

 

[maskedpoptart]

Hey EOW, nice system you got here. I made something like this recently, but never posted it. I have some suggestions for you, though I know you may not be willing to act on them since you made this a year ago.

I assume you know how real cars drive. When you turn the steering wheel to the left, and the car is not moving, the whole car does not turn to the left: only the wheels do. I know it is impossible to change the facing of just the wheels, but you should take into account that the greater the speed of the car, the faster it goes through its turn. If the speed is 0, the car does not turn until the car starts moving. etc. etc.

When the car goes in reverse, the left and right arrow keys should have the opposite effect. This again has to do with how the steering wheel changes the facing of the wheels. Look at this game if you don't know what I mean: http://www.mofunzone.com/online_games/driversed.shtml#

As far as collisions go, you should not have to turn the FPS way up to make sure the car collides. Using the car's velocity, current x, and current y, you can draw a virtual line segment from the car's current position to its position one frame later. You can then calculate if an object intersects this line segment. PM if you want more info about how to do this.

 

[Hobbit_baron]

it's really awesome, better than others, but))) when i set speed to 10, the tank has ridden on the wall that is twice higher the road))) lol)) anyway 10/10 great work!

 

[Hobbit_baron]

and another thing, when i get to the blue allies, the system crashes: all works properly-camera moves,rotates, but tank is frozen in one position and doesn't rotate, it just moves without rotation(((!

 

[Element of Water]

@ Maskedpoptart

I made this a year ago. I'm a much better vJasser now. I guess I could do these things, but... I can't be bothered. Feel free to make them yourself and I'll update it with your new map and give you credit.

BTW, the virtual line thing - I had a thought about that a while ago, but you couldn't do it perfectly accurately - the more accurate you did it, the more laggy the system could become.

 

[propotato]

It doesn't work for me when i copy on my map.... and when I change one thing on your map map crash too. I have errors like Lordpicolos

 

[du97]

When you to a wall you get teleported to everywhere in map...

 

[RazorbladeRay]

I must say I'm surprised, but not in a good way. This isn't what I expected to see. I think with your skill you should make a system that allows attacking from units. Not siege engines. I'm sorry but this is a 0/10.

 

[xorkatoss]

this sucks when i copy and paste the triggers in my map i get 100 errors
fuck this -.-

 

[GIANT_CRAB]

This is a fun game!! lolz! but i found something gone wrong. When i press save, ( i never do anything editing to the bloody jass ) and it just keep telling me should be end of line. I check carefully and found out that the jass scripting was correct but the stupid editor is being arrogant and just keep saying " Expected End of Line "

this sucks when i copy and paste the triggers in my map and i get 100 errors
fuck this -.-

<<< he must also had received the same error i had.

 

[Exavier00]

I have a problem with the animation (walking) when i use spells while moving the animation stops... I have to stop and run again to get the animation running again... and also when the unit is stunned it seems that its ignoring that it cannot move... I tried a knockback system too but the unit just wont slide... pls fix it

 

[rezurect15]

..how can i use the physics without the camera and arrow key system??..
