[Trigger] Custom Script Question

[ThisPOT]

Hi all, would anyone know if it's possible to retrieve a units projectile model path (the string) via a custom script trigger (GUI friendly)?

Ty!

Nope, but may(be) implemented in the future patch.

 

[Chaosy]

Nope.

Kinda possible with a missile system but I do not suggest it

 

[ThisPOT]

Yeah I need it to make my missile system convert ranged to the triggered projectiles, but I guess I'll just list them manually in that case.

In fact, there is a function which returns what you are asking for. However, it is mainly used for abilities in GUI. You'll have to use custom script anyway.

"Game - Ability Effect Art Path", which is this function in JASS text:

native GetAbilityEffectById takes integer abilityId, effecttype t, integer index returns string

Instead of giving an ability's raw data as the first parameter, put a specific unit's raw data. Example:

call BJDebugMsg(GetAbilityEffectById('hsor', EFFECT_TYPE_MISSILE, 0))

That line will display the sorceress's missile path.

OR

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: set udg_AbilityVar = 'hsor'
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Art path of AbilityVar Missile Art (index 0))

By the way, press Ctrl + D in Object Editor and you'll be able to see the raw data of all units.

Cool. I did not know that.

Though not too useful to be fair, but hey, nice to know just in case.

 

[BloodSoul]

Agreed. I've never felt the need of using it; I found it by accident long ago.

Cool, thanks for the trick.

That's almost enough for me to make it work, ty, but I forget the custom script to retrieve a units raw code (so I don't have to make a huge list).

NM: Solved ty!
