Behind unit detect + Change Hotkey for Attack

[kaizar]

Hello,

1) I would like to know how I could detect if a unit is behind another?
E.g. a unit facing 90 degrees, another unit is somewhere 225-315 degrees behind that unit. Check if that is true.

2) I would also like to know how I could change the hotkeys for attack,move,patrol,stop just like that in The Chosen Ones (Found in Hosted Projects) and! the hero has the attack in a spellbook, how is that possible?

Thanks +reps for the helper(s).

Try gameplay constants for the hot key change and they've probably made the attack into a spell.

As for the 1st question no idea sorry.

 

[kaizar]

There is no way the hotkeys are in 'gameplay constants' nor 'interface' as I've checked before and just did now.

Edit: The hero has his attack + defense shown, and in the position of the attack is found a spellbook, once opened it shows the Attack Icon in it.
so a) the Attack button must be somewhere, b) how has the Attack button position been changed, c) how was the hotkey for the attack and other original buttons changed.

The hotkeys can be changed via a file in your warcraft iii folder called 'customkeys.txt'

for the first question:
i have no idea, you can find it via google tho
it's more like rikimaru's backstab.. try to search it in google

for the second question:
open notepad change the hotkeys as you desire then save it in warcraft III folder with title 'customkeys.txt'

Nice, never knew about this.
Though I want the hotkeys to be changed in this map only. Is there a way to do this?

Edit: I found a source that helped me out with detecting when a unit is behind another.

I just need info about whether I can change the hotkeys of attack/stop etc.. for a particular map and not the whole of wc3 maps.

Thanks.

Great, much friendlier to interpret and change to one's desire.
I got a request for you if that's alright?
Is there a way you could detect a friendly unit infront of an attacking unit and if that is true, the attacking unit does something (e.g. does a critical strike)
So, conditions, friendly unit infront, attacked unit is an enemy.
Actions, critical damage.

You use the even and odd properties of sine or cosine to translate angle into a comparable quantity of how close something is to the required angle. In a real program, the use of a complex conditional case statement or of a lookup table would probably be faster but since the JASS interpreter is so slow anyway, the time spent computing sine and cosine of an angle is meaningless.

Could you point it out to me where it is? As I cannot find it.

Thanks.

Weird... I can't find 'Hotkey' over there.

Weird... I can't find 'Hotkey' over there.

It's a long list. For me hotkeys are somewhere around the center.

Anyone else can find the following in World Editor, Advances->Game Interface:
"Text - Hotkey -"

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Open this in Notepad, then change the hotkeys to what you desired, also change the path in Import Manager to Units\CommandStrings.txt.

1 more query, how could I put the Attack button into a SpellBook?

 

[UndeadImmortal]

You can't as far as I know.

It is done in The Chosen Ones (Found in Hosted Projects)

One way of doing it is that you make a custom ability, based on channel.
The ability must have target type "Unit or point". Then you trigger the effects. If the ability is used on a unit, then order the caster to attack the unit(target order). If there is no target unit, then it must be a point order, thus you order the caster to attack(attackmove) to that point.

I just tried this but unfortunately it did not work. =/
I changed names + hotkeys of move/patrol/stop/holdpos, imported the file, changed parth.

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Are you sure? I just tested it and it works flawlessly (test map attached).

commandstrings.txt works and there's no Text - Hotkey in constants nor interface...
I have attack button removed from my map and put a spellbook with another actions instead... what I did about removing the attack button is that every unit in Object Editor has a field called "Combat - Attack 1/2 - Show UI" check it, but if you want to have it like that and are using Animate Dead, Charm or some abilities that let you control other units that you want you have to check that Show UI thing for every possible-clickable-playable unit in there to maintain the system...
