A spell, I was bored and my friend had an request. Wanted to share with you also. Throws a projectile (that is a dummy), and bounces off the cliffs and terrain difficulties, also destroys trees. You can change every statistic and modifier in the first trigger. Have fun.

-----------

Fixed the triggers, spell is now MUI and leakless.

-----------

Fixed some bugs, added sounds and effects. Thanks for the code zv27.

-----------

Fixed some more bugs and leaks, changed the damage.

  • The spell is leakless and MUI
126248-albums6177-picture66523.png


  • You could precalculate the damage and speed values to avoid
    repeated calculation
  • You could use SetUnitX and SetUnitY instead of moving
    unit instantly. The X/Y functions do not check pathing
    and are much faster

  • Nothing serious anymore.
126248-albums6177-picture66523.png


  • You could use 0.03 period for smoother movement
  • Make the special effect paths and the sounds configurable from the Init trigger
  • Don't use magic numbers like 60.00%, 25.00 or 0.04, make everything configurable from the Init trigger
  • BS_Loops should be an Integer. Using a Real here would be unsafe and frankly, it's redundant

  • There is a point leak when you create the dummy
  • Make the caster deal the damage
  • You have RemoveLocation call in Shot Init, but the location is not set
  • BS_UnitDmg was 1 and 1 for me for two consecutive casts, where it
    should have been 1 and 2, so it does not work properly
  • You have unt groups created only for indexes 0 and 1 so "Is unit in
    damage group" will not work for other indexes
  • Remove the floating text
126248-albums6177-picture66523.png


  • Take visibility actions out of the system's trigger
  • Add importing instructions
  • You have repeated actions in the looping trigger, like Set point = ...
    and Move unit instantly. Do this
    • Untitled Trigger 001
      • Events
      • Conditions
      • Actions
        • Set BS_Loc1 = (Position of BS_Dummy)
        • Hashtable - Save (BS_Timer - 0.04) as (Key timer) of (Key (Picked unit)) in BounceTable
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • BS_BounceTrig Equal to 0.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Set BS_Loc2 = (BS_Loc1 offset by BS_Speed towards BS_Angle degrees)
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • ((BS_Angle Greater than or equal to 45.00) and (BS_Angle Less than 135.00)) or...
              • Then - Actions
                • Set BS_Loc2 = (BS_Loc1 offset by BS_Speed towards (BS_Angle x -1.00) degrees)
              • Else - Actions
                • Set BS_Loc2 = (BS_Loc1 offset by BS_Speed towards ((180.00 + BS_Angle) x -1.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Move BS_Dummy instantly to BS_Loc2
  • Destroy only trees

[poor solution]

  • Set BS_Caster = (Triggering unit)
  • Set BS_CasterLoc = (Position of BS_Caster)
  • Set BS_Target = (Target point of ability being cast)
  • Set BS_Angle = (Angle from BS_CasterLoc to BS_Target)
  • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at BS_CasterLoc facing (Facing of BS_Caster) degrees
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_BS_CasterLoc)
-->
[better solution]
[This is very useful if you have multiple locations]
[All solver with only one real array variable ™ as you can see

  • Set BS_Caster = (Triggering unit)
  • Custom script: set udg_BS_X[0] = GetUnitX(udg_BS_Caster)
  • Custom script: set udg_BS_Y[0] = GetUnitY(udg_BS_Caster)
  • Custom script: set udg_BS_X[1] = GetSpellTargetX()
  • Custom script: set udg_BS_Y[1] = GetSpellTargetY()
  • Set BS_Angle = (Atan2((BS_Y[0] - BS_Y[1]), (BS_X[0] - BS_X[1])))
  • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at (Point(BS_X[0], BS_Y[0])) facing BS_Angle degrees
  • -------- or --------
  • Custom script: set udg_BS_Dummy = CreateUnit( GetTriggerPlayer(), 'h000', udg_BS_X[0], udg_BS_Y[0], udg_BS_Angle )
[means you do not need two stupid location]
[Also, the same goes for the other trigger] (replace the stupid location)
[Oh yes spell must be MUI]

I'll post them, if it gets approved. Don't want to spam with wrong triggers in the worst case.

How do you expect someone to help you if you do not see the trigger
So, always post the trigger!

And we can do this all day hah...blahh
I gave you some examples
And you just plug the imagination and that's it

I forgot to say.
You do not have to use this method
Simply use the normal method
  • Example 1 Cast
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Bouncing Shot
    • Actions
      • -------- bla,bla --------
  • Example 1 Loop
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • -------- bla,bla --------
In this case, this is going to map init

  • Map Init
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
      • Set BounceTable = (Last created hashtable)
      • -------- --- --------
      • Set BS_AbilCode = Bouncing Shot
      • -------- --- --------
      • Set BS_UnitTypeId = Peasant
      • -------- --- --------
      • Set BS_EffectCount[1] = 3
      • Set BS_EffectCount[2] = 6
      • Set BS_EffectCount[3] = 9
      • Set BS_EffectCount[4] = 12
      • -------- --- --------
      • Set BS_Distance[1] = 100.00
      • Set BS_Distance[2] = 200.00
      • Set BS_Distance[3] = 300.00
      • Set BS_Distance[4] = 400.00
      • -------- --- --------
And now I have to go because I'm on some stupid picnic
The battery of the laptop is at the very end
Shit, 300 kilometers away from home...
Just to even up a serial killer and that's it ... hahahahahahah ... omg...who the fuck is this !!!
