Battle Bar System

[Gekigengar]

i need the system, which every action has its own "Action Cooldown"

like if you attack, your Action Cooldown will be 2 seconds,

and it is shown with Bars IIIIIIIII above the unit.

when the bar is over, we could do another action again,

each spells has diffrent Action Cooldown (Holy light, 3 sec, Chain lightning, 5 sec, etc), and also items.(Potions, 2 sec, Greater healing potion, 5 sec)

While the bar isn't over , you can't do any actions, except move, patrol, etc.

Anyone mind helping me?

GUI would be the best.

I dunno if you use vJASS, but this could do with some alterations of the code.
More stuff.

 

[Gekigengar]

well, no, i don't use vJASS, so i am requesting it. i checked all those spell maps already, but none of them fits my needs , and its very hard to alter.

Is the bar system like, Final Fantasy ???

 

[Gekigengar]

i don't know what's final fantasy bar looked like D:

anyways, Everytime you do any action, you need to wait for the bar to fill out before doing any other actions, except move, patrol, hold position, and stop.

Each action got diffrent cooldown bars

so, if you attack, you need to wait "2 seconds" bar time.

if you do chain lightning, you need to wait "5 seconds" bar time.

the bar deplets each second, if the bar is gone, you are free to do any other action again !

 

[defskull]

Ahhh, that's the mechanic that works in FF Games ;D

 

[Gekigengar]

i see, so, anyone helping out?

 

[Chewii]

[Gekigengar]

[Gekigengar]

uhhh....Pharao is afk....we all gonna die!!!1!111oneoneeleven1111

I don't quite get how you want to handle the stuff with attacks
if a melee unit starts attacking and has like 2 sec delay before it actually starts hitting the target won't it run away then?

and if you want it like the unit is paused after it dealt damage it will bug with ranged units with slow missiles who are fast enough to shoot again before the first missile hits the target

the attached map handles spells only
attacking is complicated because it is hard to detect but if you explain how you want it I will add it, too

(this code might look easy but it took _ME_ an hour to figure out how to choose the right events and arange everything so pause won't bug with stupid spell orders , even works with shift-click and uses hashtables so it's more like pharaos code!![although I prefer index systems but hashtables are easier so you get hashtables))

uh no, not something like that, thx 4 the effort, +REP 4 your 1 hour effort! i really Appreciate it, seriously.

its when the unit "Done" the skills(After the effect is done), like when he finishes casting holy light, there is 2 seconds where the unit cannot do anything until the bar is over. (Each spell has different cooldowns).

For attacks,(after unit deals damage)(Use damage detection system, combine it with cooldown checking is it a hero or a unit, if it is a unit, check from unit type, if it is a hero, check for agility based cooldown.)

For items, check item types. each different item got different cooldown, - hero agility/10. or something like that.

You can still do Move,hold,patrol,stop or learn hero abilities while the bar is there.

so you want the unit to be silenced after it finished casting?
(silence can also disable melee/ranged attack and modify move/attackspeed and miss chance if you select it)
rather hard to check cooldown but it might work if you spam the order and check if the unit executes them (like if IssueOrder(someorderid and unit) == true then)
but it will stop the unit from everything as long as you try checking

also this will still fuck up with ranged attacks with slow missiles and high attack speed and spells deal damage to so you would need an orb effect buff to check if the damage source was of attack-type

 

[Gekigengar]

this map will not have high aspd, i will never create such a thing,

anyways, so is it possible if, we use separate trigs for each spells? that way, you don't need to get order ID or such a thing.

every different spell with different triggers is fine, even though it may cost some file-size, i need it for the game-play.

unit cast an ability
ability = blizzard
if hero = true
set cooldown = 4 - agi/12

or something like that.

ability = blizzard
if hero = true
set cooldown = 4 - agi/12

or something like that.

in this case you could make a huge array which stores the cooldown/the way how the cooldown is calculated and make a silence ability with as many levels as you need different cooldown times:

ini trigger:
set ability[0] = thunderclap
set cooldowntype[0] = 0
set cooldownvalue[0] = 4

cooldown trigger:
a unit finishs casting an ability
for each integer i from 0 to number of abilities do actions
if ability == ability being cast then
if cooldowntype == 0
calculate cooldown
make a dummy unit and cast silence with level calculated
if cooldowntype == 1
calculate cooldown somehow else
etc...

 

[Gekigengar]

well, i can do that, but, i want it with a bar, to show how much time is left till u can do another action, and i have no idea how to do the bar +__+

 

[Gekigengar]

bump ~, isn't there any tutorial on how to make MUI Bars?....omg...i need a bar!!..

 

[defskull]

Huh, still no solution to it I see...
Well, I'm gonna need this system too, I'll subscribe this thread for answers... =(

Actually you can do it with 200 levels of silence, then check which ability/item is cast/used then what level.

I would try doing a bar, but i don't know how to create a model I or a floating text which can be moved.

Here's what I found (told you there is a map in Hive !)
ATB (Action-Time Bar) Battle System
Credits to FFVII_Valentine

 

[Gekigengar]

uhh...i actually did it with DARK Gandalf's system and re-edit,
it doesn't work all the way i want.

but anyways, thx 4 da map lol i can't open that map in world editor,
+EDIT+
I can open it lol, my bad.

yeah, its that kind of bar, but it appears above unit, not in multiboard,

and the unit doesn't goes to the other enemy unit and attacks it, then returns,
it will still be able to walk all it wants, like normal Wc3 game.
but every action has its own silence time, when it is used.

basically- Parasite Eve Style.

 

[defskull]

Did you checked the map I linked.. ?
It uses ATB (Action-Time Bar) System

 

[Gekigengar]

yeaa, i mean, i checked that one, and it appears on the multi-board, not above all unit ^^, i edited Dark Gandalfs, to make the one i wanted., and the unit is imovable on that map, while the Bar is recharging, what i want is, the unit still moveable, but its skill and all attack become unusable (in other word, silence the unit), well, i succeed somehow in editing Dark Gandalf's system, well, thx 4 viewing.
