Aura System in GUI

Moderator: Pharaoh_ Date: 03:49, 24th Apr 2012 This is very simple and inefficient. • You use two instances of a variable to refer to different auras. • You globally pick units; you should assign them in the group (Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to UnitGroup), once they have learned the skill or once they have entered the map (by checking if they already are in the group) [second case would apply to unit that are non-hero, in case one of them possesses such an aura]. • You could use a hashtable and save the values required to the rawcode of each aura ability, instead of the way they are currently configured. This way, you could most possibly merge the aura groups. There are way better aura systems in the Spells section already and far more efficient. This resource requires heavy improvements and it's one of those moments that you wonder if GUI itself is the optimal solution to achieve the desired effect flawlessly.

Just use two different Groups than using an array (Aura Group), as its more efficient...

How Do I Arrange It Just JNGP?

 

[Tank-Commander]

Really you'd only /actually/ need a single loop to handle -every- aura you added on, you just need to store everything in variables - including wether it effects allies/enemies/AOE/etc. They way you'd split Allies/Enemy auras would be through an ID variable to determine which they effect by having an IF statement in the loop

You could then assign an aura to a variable (matching how many auras involving this loop the unit has) i.e. have an aura counting variable (to keep track of how many auras are on a unit) and then seperate ones to assign which aura goes where each aura belongs (add them onto the end. So in this case say you had this slow aura and rejuvination aura: you learn slow first, the variable containing amount of auras becomes one (for the unit), and the position of this aura is also one (also linked to the unit), you then assign other variables which'd have to be 2D - first to where it belongs in the overall group, and then secondly which aura it is effecting. This'd then be repeated to apply to every new aura added

(This is all assuming you're not using unit groups but rather running a variable from 1 to (number of units in the array)

Trigger Example

This is assuming that you're dynamically arraying units

Note: This may not be accurate/Actually work considering I just typed this all out as opposed to making it in WE

• Ability Learnt
  • Events
    • Unit - a unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Indexer) from 1 to Amount_of_Auras do (actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Aura(Indexer) = Learnt Ability
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- Saving the number of the ability --------
            • Set Aura_ID = Indexer
            • Set bFound = False
            • Set Temp_Unit = (Triggering unit)
            • -------- Checking if the unit is already assigned an index --------
            • -------- Saving the point at which it was found if it was --------
            • For each (Indexer) from 1 to Aura_Index do (actions)
              • Loop - actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • Aura_Unit(Indexer) = Temp_Unit
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Set bFound = True
                    • Set iPoint = Indexer
                  • Else - Actions
            • -------- Checking if the unit /was/ found --------
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • bFound = True
              • Then - Actions
                • Set Save_Aura_Index = Aura_Index
                • Set Aura_Index = iPoint
              • Else - Actions
                • Set Aura_Index = Aura_Index + 1
                • Set Save_Aura_Index = Aura_Index
            • -------- Setting up the new Indexes --------
            • Set Aura_Unit(Aura_Index) = Triggering Unit
            • -------- Increasing the amount of auras on the unit --------
            • Set Aura_Count(Aura_Index) = AuraCount(Aura_Index) + 1
            • -------- Applying stats of the aura to the correct aura number --------
            • Set Aura_AOE(Aura_Count(Aura_Index)) = Aura_Stats_AOE(Aura_ID)
            • Set Aura_Aura_Name(Aura_Count(Aura_Index)) = Aura_Stats_Name(Aura_ID)
            • Set Aura_Aura_Effect(Aura_Count(Aura_Index)) = Aura_Stats_Effect(Aura_ID)
            • Set Aura_Targets(Aura_Count(Aura_Index)) = Aura_Stats_Targets(Aura_ID)
            • Set Etc.
            • -------- Resetting the Aura_Index --------
            • Set Aura_Index = Save_Aura_Index
            • Else - Actions

Note that Aura_Targets(Aura_Count(Aura_Index)) would be either 1 or 2 (or 0 or 1 or whatever to determine wether it effects enemies or allies in the loop trigger)

Additionally: Auras would all have to be set up in their own little section which would also have to contain setting their position in the Aura(Index) variable I.e. Aura(1) = Rejuvination Aura

I would go further to explain this all, however then I'd basically be turning it into my own system working how I'd want it to

@ Tank-Commander:
I had thought about that way before, but the problem is how I can set this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
  • Aura(Indexer) = Learnt Ability

I usually use loop in my spell or system, since I could not set the condition above, I changed the way to make it.

 

[Adiktuz]

Why does it say it requires JNGP? It's pure GUI isn't it?

Hero Skill comparison

• (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Aura(Indexer)

Just don't do an ability comparison - use a hero skill comparison

I've used JNGP for a long time, and I don't sure that pure GUI has a condition
(For (Unit) the level of Buff) Equal to 0.
So it's better to set the JNGP in requirement

Hero Skill comparison

• (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Aura(Indexer)

Just don't do an ability comparison - use a hero skill comparison

But I can't set (Learned Hero Skill) = variable. I don't see any place in Hero Skill Comparison to put a variable Aura[Indexer] .

 

[Adiktuz]

the GUI conditions are all present at the normal WE...

if the Aura[] is an ability variable, it should show on the learned hero skill area...

 

[leonguyen112]

Still can't see it in the condition
