[JASS] Create a Sphere Nova

• Events
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Centre = (Player 1 (Red) start location)
  • Set R = 500.00
  • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 36, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • For each (Integer B) from 0 to 18, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set X = (R x (Cos((10.00 x (Real((Integer B)))))))
          • Set Y = (R x (Sin((10.00 x (Real((Integer B)))))))
          • Unit - Create 1 effect for Player 1 (Red) at Centre facing Default building facing degrees
          • Animation - Change (Last created unit) flying height to Y at 0.00
          • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move To (Centre offset by X towards (10.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)

I was just messing with the WE until the idea of making a sherical Nova came on my mind. Above are the triggers I used, It has leaks because my aim was to create the spherical nova.

And I'm sure if this was made in JASS it will be much better.

Notice that I didn't make the angle from 0 to 360 because there will be many units any will greatly slow down the game.

dont order it too move, it may cause it too bugg/look wierd.

use a repeting timer with lets say 0.3 sec delay, and move the units towards the desierd angel by like 30 range.

• Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of (Playable map area))

or if u are using X/Y

• Custom script: call SetUnitX("Unit",udg_x)
• Custom script: call SetUnitY("Unit",udg_y)

• Set X = (R x (Cos((10.00 x (Real((Integer B)))))))
• Set Y = (R x (Sin((10.00 x (Real((Integer B)))))))

Sin((10.00 x (Real((Integer B)) this is not radians.
but i don't think u wanna calc it like this :>

the correct formula is X+dist*cos and Y+dist*sin

use this instead

• Custom script: set udg_X = udg_R*Cos((10*bj_forLoopBIndex)1*0.0174)
• Custom script: set udg_Y = udg_R*Sin((10*bj_forLoopBIndex)*0.0174)

sorry for the messy response, im in a hurry

How could I use timer and not a loop as the index in the loop determins the angle at which the unit will move and also adding waits in loops causes undesired results?

umm, JASS with handle vars.
very difficult task with gui.

Can you give some hints especially how to write the loop with JASS; what is the condition I'll write beside exitwhen statement ?

I've done something very similar in one of spells. Take a look and see how it was done there. Sonic Nova v1.04 - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

It quite cool but in vJASS which I'm not familiar with, can it be done in JASS.

Of course, here I'll make a simple one in JASS for you:

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local real r = .349
    local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
    local real x = GetUnitX(u)
    local real y = GetUnitY(u)
    local player p = GetOwningPlayer(u)
    local unit u2
    loop
        exitwhen r>6.98
        set u2 = CreateUnit(p,'h000',x,y,r)
        call IssuePointOrder(u2, "move", x + 400. * Cos(r), y + 400. * Sin(r))
        call UnitApplyTimedLife(u2, 'BTLF', .7)
        set r=r+.349
    endloop
    set u2 = null
endfunction

'h000' is the dummy unit used for the effect of the nova. So just use that function as the actions in your spell.

 

[Starquizer]

call IssuePointOrder(u2, "move", x + 400. * Cos(r), y + 400. * Sin(r))

Won't this function will move the dummy unit in 2D plan.

x + 400. * Cos(r) represents X coordinate of the point the dummy unit will move to.

and

y + 400. * Sin(r) represents y one.

In order to create a sphere you need a height, isn't it ?

Kinda, but if you choose a proper dummy model and scaling value, it gives the impression of 3 dimensions.

Thanks for your help but I ask from you another favor. Help me with my fireball spell in this thread Click Here
