[JASS] Combat/Normal Mode

[Starquizer]

How can I make a system that detects that I am in combat or not; so that in combat I play appropriate music and in normal I play the theme music ?

Any idea ?

Hmm, not sure if this works but, you could try checking if any attack order is given to a unit, and make your choice of selections. Then play the music.

The combat mode ends when the target dies, assuming there is a single enemy, or when you get out of sight of the unit and it stops following you to attack. I don't know how to check for those condition plus it will be complicated when there are more than one unit.

Well I guess it WILL be complicated. But what exactly do you need it for? What's the context? Maybe it gets easier, depending on what's the surrounding. Or do you want to detect combat in general on let's say a normal melee map?

Melee or Campaign but specially in an RPG campaign as I am planing to make one but I haven't gathered enough data and JASS experience, so this is one of the things I'd like to make; Combat Mode.

Also, with combat mode I could make special effects and music at fighting bosses. So any help would be appreciated.

Maybe you could work with "any unit is attacked" event then. Do you have 1 or multiple players? If only 1, it's easier as you could check if attack orders are given with his hero as target. Or if his hero is given an attack order.
Otherwise you'd have to check which player is attacked and play sounds for him etc...
But it should be possible. Sounds interesting.
I could try to write some functions, so you can imagine what I mean.

damage dection could work, start a timer that expier in 5 sec, and if the unit havn't taken any dmg during that time set it "out" of combat. or if it takes damage reset the timer to 5sec

Well, thanks for your concern.

I thought it in that way since you have to check if you are in combat or not using a periodic time it will give enough time to fade in/out music and will give more control in handling variable, for example: you want to start a dialogue or cinematic after a unit has been slain so you must give enough time then start the cinematic/dialogue.

Hello, guys I have been waiting for ages to get a simple reply.

Does anyone have any idea how this might be done ?

I think there are a few systems like that. You could search for them and take a look at how they did it.
