I don't quite understand what you are asking, could you make a slightly further clarification?

 

[ap0calypse]

I agree with Smiddle + you should replace all "mine" in your text with "my", that will clear up a little

Are you asking for ideas for a boss, any specific spells, or what?

 

[Wraith]

I think, he want the boss fight using the spell that already put on him like an AI?

 

[Silvenon]

Omg, another "plz halp" thread, I love those

By using my psychic powers, I've come to the conclusion that you don't have much experience in making such maps. So my suggestion would be: start with something easier. Trust me, you'll be a lot happier with the maps that you made, not the maps consisted of requests.

 

[Gm_Skiller]

silvenon you are totally rong, i made much maps like hero line wars & green td

 

[Smiddle]

That certainly explained what your problem was.

 

[ap0calypse]

silvenon you are totally rong, i made much maps like hero line wars & green td

HLW has been made a lot and Green TD has been edited a lot...
But that isn't the point:

Work on your english and try to explain what the problem is.

 

[Silvenon]

silvenon you are totally rong, i made much maps like hero line wars & green td

Sorry, but I really don't think any of those maps were really finished or any good. It's nothing against you, just a hunch

Back to your problem. Usually, when I want to ask a question of that type, I usually try to give as much details as I can, along with a drawing (maybe).

Example:

Hello,

I'm making a TD with my friends and I ran into some problems. I'm experienced in GUI, but I'm not so good with using the Object editor, so I want to ask what is an efficient way of leveling up a tower? I can do it in GUI, but I want to know a proper way, so I don't screw something up.

Btw, in this case, the picture is absolutely useless, but I put it just for an example.

 

[Gm_Skiller]

Let just forget if im you think im good or not,

list if what i need :
1. Region
2. GUI triggers for the spell Flame Strike
3. That the boss leaves the region and goes to one other region
4. the Flame Strike begins to cast 6 times on a random point in the region
5. afther the 6 strikes the boss comes back

does that clear things up ?? hope so

BTW i can't do anything with mine english

 

[ap0calypse]

BTW i can't do anything with mine english

My English*

Let just forget if im you think im good or not

Let's just forget whether you think I'm good or not*
(and much more thing like this)

That doesn't matter, though...

You want a spell that activates when the boss is walking out of a specific region, then he will cast flame strike 6 times on a random point in a region, after that is done, the boss walks back?

Shouldn't be hard... I didn't test this, but it should be something like it.

• Flame Strike
• Events
  • Unit - A unit leaves [Region]
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Leaving unit)) Equal to [Boss]
• Actions
  • Set TempInteger = 0
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set TempLoc = (Random point in [Region])
      • Unit - Create 1 [Dummy] for Player 12 (Brown) at TempLoc facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike TempLoc
      • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
  • Set TempLoc = (Center of [Region])
  • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack-Move To TempLoc
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

That should do it...

 

[Gm_Skiller]

well i wanted that when the boss gets his health on 75% and on 25% (or just on 50%) the boss will be teleported to a other region (just a spot) and than it will cast 6 times flame strike, afther that the boss gets back in the region where you can fight it agian

(if possible could the boss be invurneble when hes in the other region)

 

[ap0calypse]

Edit:
Posting... and you
(Watch this, it's very usefull!)

It's almost exactly what I have said in my previous post...
Clearly your mapping skills are still lacking, but that isn't a problem... you can learn it here.

(if possible could the boss be invurneble when hes in the other region)

There is an action to do that, it's a basic function that's been used a lot.

• Flame Strike
• Events
  • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
• Conditions
  • (Percentage life of No unit) Less than or equal to 55
  • (Percentage life of No unit) Greater than or equal to 45
• Actions
  • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
  • Set TempLoc = (Random point in [Region])
  • Unit - Move [Boss] instantly to (Center of TempLoc)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
  • Unit - Make [Boss] Invulnerable
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set TempLoc = (Random point in [Region])
      • Unit - Create 1 [Dummy] for Player 12 (Brown) at TempLoc facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike TempLoc
      • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
  • Set TempLoc = (Center of [Region])
  • Unit - Move [Boss] instantly to (Center of TempLoc)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
  • Unit - Make [Boss] Vulnerable

 

[Gm_Skiller]

thanks i will try that out

sorry to tell but i made mine variables like you said and still the custom script isn't working

 

[Gm_Skiller]

Thanks i will try i out soon

(this could be a double post not sure because i can't see mine old post

 

[Silvenon]

Yeah, it's a double post.

Lol, ap0calypse, that was a sweet clip about posting, I laughed my ass off

Skiller, post your code, maybe you didn't name them exactly the same in the custom script.

Also, note that when he did [], he meant that you should replace that with an actual variable (or just a value). But you probably noticed that. Stop saying "mine", btw

By the way, try to avoid using Last Created Unit unless you HAVE to (In this case, you have to. (Last Created Unit leaks.))

 

[Silvenon]

Last Created Unit leaks.

No no and no! Where the hell did you get that idea from?? There is no reason at all to avoid Last Created Unit.

 

[ap0calypse]

If and only if that is the case, use this:

• Set Unit = (Last created unit)
• Custom script: call RemoveUnit(udg_Unit)

Since I'm not a JASS-user, I don't know for sure this is correct, but I'm about 80% sure ^^

edit:
but if that would leak, why don't casting unit, attacked unit, ... leak? :/

• Set Unit = (Last created unit)
• Custom script: call RemoveUnit(udg_Unit)

I assure you, it does not leak, I'm a jasser and I believe I should know that.

Hmm, I'll try to explain. For example, when you create a location (called Point in GUI, it is an invisible value made from an existing point on the map, so it is a pointer to that point (lol, a pointer that points to a point ). Destroying it will not remove that location from the map, because that would be really silly, lol, ("I made a map, but don't put your units on point 1057, -2058, because that point was removed"). So RemoveLocation only removes the pointer to that point (which leaks if not destroyed).

Now, on the other side we have a Unit variable. This variable is also a pointer and it points to a certain unit. But, doing RemoveUnit will remove the unit from the game and I'm guessing that's not what you want to do. But, theoretically speaking, unit also leaks, as it takes a bit of memory, but that unit is visible and needed, while the location is invisible and fills up memory and you're not using it anymore.

However, there are cases when you use a certain point over and over again through the whole game, in that case you don't have to destroy it, because you're reusing it.

If further explanation is needed, I'll be happy to help.


Also, local variables (only in JASS) also need to be nulled (types like unit, location, item etc.) to completely remove the pointer, but globals in GUI don't leak when not nulled, so no worries.

 

[ap0calypse]

Ohh, I know what leaks are :O
Everyone should know that (shame on everyone who doesn't... and read the post above if you don't )

You've explained it pretty good ^^ couldn't have done it better myself
I know the basics of JASS, since I once wanted to start learning it... but after a while it really seemed a lot of work and, though GUI is limited, it still gives enough possibilities to create a good map.

In short: I'm just too damn lazy to start learning JASS

I always use custom scripts in my map though (not only to remove leaks, but multiboards, for example, are shown to all people in GUI, you can show them to a selection of players (or 1 player) with JASS and it isn't hard ^^)

But that's a little bit off-topic, maybe Gm_Skiller can reply to my previous posts and say if it worked?
(is "Gm" even allowed in the username?)

About the clip:
I love those little things they say/write ("And if you just have anything to say..." )

 

[Gm_Skiller]

i think i chanced some settings, and that ruind it, well i think its fair to say thank you
