Attack Speed

[Vinz]

Is there a way to detect a unit's attack speed in-game? A simple way, just like the Real Comparison that checks a Unit's Movement Speed.

 

[Ezekiel12]

No. There is no simple way known.

 

[Vinz]

Okay so.. is there a hard way known?

 

[deathismyfriend]

there is a simple way unless items are included.

Get the units agility and times it by the attack speed that you used in gameplay constants.
make sure to then include the attack speed of the unit in the OE.

 

[Vinz]

Hm.. But I want the player to be able to check the AS of the unit he's currently selecting. That would be like every unit in the map. Thanks though!

 

[deathismyfriend]

to do that you would need to either have all units only have attack speed based on there agility.
Alternatively you can store each units base attack speed into a hashtable keyed to that units unit type. Then load the unit type and times the agility by the attack speed bonus in the gameplay constants. Then check for any items that give increased attack speeds.

That's not possible, u can only see if the attack speed is very slow,slow,average , fast or very fast :/

yes it is possible that is why i said some options.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

I suggest u should do like deathismyfriend said. Here is the formula:
1/(Base attack time of the unit type) x [(Bonus Attack Speed+100)/100]
Bonus attack speed is calculated by the Agility and item's bonus. Therefore, u must store the amount of AS bonus for every item into a variable to easily add or subtract them.

 

[deathismyfriend]

that is more complicated than it needs to be.
use (gameplay constant attack speed bonus * agi points) + item speed bonus.
if its an item speed bonus that deals with percent use this.
set r = (gameplay constant attack speed bonus * agi points)
r + (r * ( 1.00 - percent bonus))

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

I mean if he wants to know about the attack speed bonus, I think it would be better to show the player how many attack the unit can make in 1s. . That's what my formula for. Also, yeah, I agree that the second part of my formula isnt as effective as urs .

 

[deathismyfriend]

that would require you to check how many attacks are placed in a second.

 

[Spartipilo]

The Attack Speeds names (Very Slow, Slow, Normal, Fast, Very Fast) have limits declared in some Wc3 file (MiscData.txt i think). I'm not sure if you can add extra fields there. At least it lets you know the "gap" between the values the AS is.

 

[Vinz]

Extra fields? Wow lol. Gonna check those. Thanks!

with this you can but its not perfectly acurate but good enough and works with items

run the game with this on and there will be attack speeds instead of slow / very slow / etc

And that would mean that everyone would need it to be able to see the attack speed, right?

What I actually want to achieve is an '-AS' command.

there is formulas for attack speed and armor and these stuff i remember i read about it in playdota.com (i dont have access to playdota.com so i cant give you the link i remember it was in a page named mechanic.)

to do that they would need a system that controls and registers attack speed of the units.

It's most probably the Gameplay Constants formula that you're talking about.

If you can lock the unit down for a while you can use a dummy to detect attack speed. However the player should be unable to influence the unit (change owner?) and the dummy bust be targetable and attackable.

Remember that faster attack speed is capped at +400% and -80%. This results in 5 times as many hits to 1/5th as many hits per unit time. There may also be rounding based on internal frame rate.
