Boundaries and Cliffs...

[mckill2009]

I dont know if this is the right place to ask for this but is there a way to detect when the unit is entering the 4 corners of the map 'except' creating preset regions...

example, if it enters then the unit will die...also the same as cliffs, is there any way?...

For the boundaries thing, you can either use:

• Set Point1 = (Position of (Unit))
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • ((Playable map area) contains Point1) Equal to False
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Kill (Unit)
  • Else - Actions
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

Of course these action will be used in a periodic event, to check the unit's position over time.

For the cliffs, since the result depends on the initial cliff level you have used in your map, make this test: Make a cliff and place a footman on it; then, in the Map Initialization, display the message: "(Terrain cliff level at (Point))" [where Point = (Position of Footman 0000 <gen>)]. Let's say it returns 3.

Then, just like the boundaries periodic check, make an additional check as:

• Set Point1 = (Position of (Unit))
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions)
      • ((Playable map area) contains Point1) Equal to False
      • (Terrain cliff level at Point1) Greater than or Equal to 3
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Kill (Unit)
  • Else - Actions
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

What I mean of 4 corners is 4 sides, not the playable map area, meaning the camera bounds/map bounds...

See Im creating a fireball that fires straight (without stop), now if it reaches the END or CORNER of the map, then the game crashed...I know 1 way to do this is to create 4 regions, but I dont want to do that...

I realised what you're after and that one works. There are additionally three ways:

1) Check if the offset point has flyability and walkability; if yes, move the unit, else, kill it.

2) Use the old classic way of a hidden item in front of your unit that checks the same as (1).

3) Use this script that does the same thing: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=102576
