click counter possible?

[TmoW_foreVA]

Im making a spell in which theres a timer...after the spell is casted how ever many clicks you can do in X ammount of time after casting the spell...will be the number of spirits that are raised and deal damage...the counter and stuff i can figure out..but how do i make a trigger that counts the clicks...

tell me where do you have to click,what kind of unit is selected while you are clicking (is he able to move,is he able to target something?)

btw,it can be possible

 

[TmoW_foreVA]

thats the thing...no unit is being clicked...it can be anywhere on the play screen...and its possible? must be Jass lol

yes it is!
but tell me do you have selected unit when you are clicking
and does that unit have ability to move/set rally

and one more thing

can player have 2 units with that spell?

i didnt plan to...i just wanted it to once they click the spell they have X ammount of seconds to click as fast as they can
also yes there can be more than 1 of that hero...so ill use 2 diffrent varriables
but if thats the only way to do it ..thats fine
and no i want the hero to pause

Yes, and it requires Jass. They are called trackables.
They detect mouse-overs of a location on the map, or left clicks.
There area some tools which allow you to use them in GUI, search EGUI on thehelper.net if you want.

Alternatively you could use a dummy unit while detecting his orders location to determine right clicks.

you must have a unit selected and controlable,is is fine to select a dummy unit?

or maybe just use ESC event ...

if it is fine to make unit paused (with icons visible) i can do it now

i will tell u want you must do,if ur not able to do it,you will have to wait until tomorrow so i can send u the trigger

anyway it goes like this

use event
unit is issued an order targeting a point
conditions....
set custom value of triggering unit to custom value of triggering unit +1
start timer STEP 2 ... 0,00 seconds
set unit = ordered unit

use event
timer STEP 2 expires
order ordered unit to stop

than when you spell is finished put custom value back to 0
order ordered unit to stop

yea i was talken about left clicks lol this is what i have for the counter and stuff so far. like the base

first one so far...and yes i know its not mui

• LEtsseeee
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Click N kill
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = (Casting unit)
    • Set Areaaroundhero = (Region centered at (Position of Caster) with size (500.00, 500.00))
    • Trigger - Turn on Clicks <gen>
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Clicks <gen>
    • Unit - Create NumberOfclicks Footman for (Owner of Caster) at (Random point in Areaaroundhero) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set NumberOfclicks = 0
    • Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)

second:

• Actions
  • Set currentposofcas = (Position of Caster)
  • Set NumberOfclicks = (NumberOfclicks + 1)
  • Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)
  • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(NumberOfclicks)) at currentposofcas with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

but i still have no event...

p.s i know i have alot of fixing to do..also i knoW NOTHING about jass so i need a gui or mui form of this trigger...if its possible..please and thanks...or ill take a guide if there is one for gui

By the wAY I GREATLY APPRECIATE UR ATTEMPTS TO HELP AND EITHER WAY I AM GIVING U REP but thanks anyways if u cant!

Did you read my post at all?
Try using EGUI to use trackables in GUI.

 

[TmoW_foreVA]

it doesnt have a gui section the 1 u gave me before and this is just a link to the gui forums on the helper.

 

[ALiEN95]

it could be only done in jass or i gui in wich you force a player to press a key for something that targets a point

like for building a Castle

force player to press B - for Building
force player to press C - for Castle

btw, this can be used for any ability that has a hotkey....
