Can you stop blink on upper level?

[stan0033]

Hey guys I have some thoughts about can you make a trigger that will stop the unit from blinking if the blink point is on a upper level of trrrain?

 

[RobertMKD]

I doubt that's possible

 

[Xonok]

I think it can be done. Just order the unit to move to his location.

 

[RobertMKD]

yes, but how would you detect that the spell is cast on upper level of terrain?

 

[Xonok]

It is true that you can't detect the height of terrain in GUI, but you can through JASS(custom text).
I'll make a short example.
EDIT: Try this attached map. Keep in mind that this works by checking height directly, so it can make mistakes on curved ground(raise/lower tools).

Trigger

• Blink Down
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (==) (Order(blink))
  • Actions
    • Set TempRealA = 0.00
    • Set TempRealB = 0.00
    • Set TempPointA = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Custom script: set udg_TempRealA = GetLocationZ(udg_TempPointA)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPointA)
    • Set TempPointA = (Target point of issued order)
    • Custom script: set udg_TempRealB = GetLocationZ(udg_TempPointA)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPointA)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(TempRealA))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(TempRealB))
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (TempRealB - TempRealA) Greater than or equal to (>=) 90.00
        • Then - Actions
          • Set TempPointA = (Position of (Triggering unit))
          • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To TempPointA
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPointA)
          • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Noooooooo
        • Else - Actions

You can actually check the level of the cliff.
This means that you can make the difference between a cliff and increased terrain height.

When a unit starts the effect of blink and the terrain cliff level of target is higher than the cliff level of location of caster, issue the caster to stop.

.... I did not understand a sh*t...

what's GUI and what's JASS? I've met those two words a lot of times, but don't know what do they mean

 

[Wietlol]

JASS is the code in which triggers are made.
You can recognize it from everywhere.

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call MeleeStartingVisibility(  )
    call MeleeStartingHeroLimit(  )
    call MeleeGrantHeroItems(  )
    call MeleeStartingResources(  )
    call MeleeClearExcessUnits(  )
    call MeleeStartingUnits(  )
    call MeleeStartingAI(  )
    call MeleeInitVictoryDefeat(  )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_001 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions )
endfunction

GUI is the Graphical User Interface, which we use as the GUI version of JASS... aka triggers:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Limit Heroes to 1 per Hero-type (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Give trained Heroes a Scroll of Town Portal (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Set starting resources (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Remove creeps and critters from used start locations (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Create starting units (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Run melee AI scripts (for computer players)
    • Melee Game - Enforce victory/defeat conditions (for all players)

I got a feeling you got this Idea because of playing Bleach Hero Defense.

 

[RobertMKD]

i've found out something
actually you can detect if the casting point is on an upper cliff terrain, see this

ty wietlol, i've finally figured it out xD

So

Unit begins casting an ability

Ability being casted equal to blink

set Casterpoint = terrain cliff level of position of caster
set CastingPoint = terrain cliff level of target point of ability being cast
If casterpoint not equal to castingpoint then
order unit to stop


thank you guys!
