Can triggers recognize boundary?

[Znoopy]

Is it possible to make a trigger react to units in boundary? I've got a map with a jump/blink-like spell, and it's possible to use this spell to jump into boundary/areas I DON'T want the players to enter.

I've tried looking through triggers where different tiles are recognized, but I can't find the boundary tile anywhere. Is there a different way to get this done, or is it simply impossible?

All I need is a simple trigger which kills the unit entering the boundary or teleports it back to start, so any ideas?

You detect if the unit leaves playable map area and then do whatever you want with it. Playable map area is defined as a rect within all boarder boundaries, so anything outside is in the map boundaries.

If you have custom boundaries pasted around the map, you will need to define custom rects which enclose them and use similar triggers to detect them going into the boundary. There is no way to detect if a point is in boundary/boarder as far as I am aware.

Sorry, what's custom rects..? Do you mean regions?

Edit: And yes, I've got loads of custom boundary in the map. That's why I'm trying to prevent using regions and see if there's a simpler way the triggers can react to units entering any of the boundary-areas.

I'm sure that boundary itself can prevent unit from cross an area, but what about making destructible on that area (fire, rock, tree) or region it's easy with that

Normally, yes. But I've got this jump/blink ability, which let's the units jump into any area they want. They can't move they're in the boundary, but they can wait for cooldown and then use the jump ability again to get out/cheat.

No I mean rects, as in GUI Regions. Not region which is something completely different and not available in GUI. Yes the names are confusing but when you start using JASS you will understand there is a big difference.

If the player orders you to blink outside the playable area then cancel the blink order.

But if I put boundary in the middle of the map, will this count as not being in playable map area..? I thought only the edges of the map was not playable map area?
I'll test it anyway...

PS! I don't know shit about JASS...

You can also create borders (limits) tiles to prevent unit from entering a random area

It obviously will not count. In GUI your best bet is to add other tests for these areas.

With JASS you could merge these rects into a single region as regions are cell based.

Ait, thanks a lot for the help guys!
I'll see what I can do...
