Creating an INSTANT Terrain Deformation

[GreyArchon]

Aight, biting my nails over this one. What I need for a specific spell (a booby trap, of sorts) is an instant terrain deformation, a crater, that lasts 20 seconds. Now when I try to make one, the ground becomes a crater.. slooowwly... over the course of 20 seconds. But no, this isnt what I need. What I need is a crater that *lasts* 20 seconds, not a crater that *takes* 20 seconds to form. Stupid WorldEditor, you're the bane of my imagination sometimes.

Make a permanent crater that takes 0 seconds.

call TerrainDeformCrater(x, y, rad, dep, 0, true)

Then make a timer that has all the values stored, so you can reform the crater in the opposite direction.

call TerrainDeformCrater(x, y, rad, -dep, 0, true)

Hmmmm...thats very nice for those with JASS...how about GUI?

 

[GreyArchon]

Hm, yes. Quite nice, but any way to do the same without using JASS?

• Environment - Create a 'Real' second Permanent crater deformation at 'Location' with radius 'Real' and depth 'Real'

things between '' i did put in there to to show which parameters it take

Sheish, for those GUI users just use Custom Text. (Oh my god its jass with gui!)

Using a simple timer and reverting the process worked like a charm. +Rep for Sinistering.

Thanks.

Sorry about the JASS instead of GUI, but the JASS native is faster than the BJ function.
