different kind of attack system

[knight_godryu]

uhhm....is it possible to make an ability cause damage only in front of a caster? something like a new attack system like for example..this is what i made


event

a unit casts an ability​

condition

ability being cast is attack​

action

play unit's attack animation​

and here is when it goes confusing....it can only make a damage area BUT circular to the caster not just infront

so is there anyway to make it so? even if its jass vjass or whatever pls tell me +rep and thanks hehe i just REALLY need this for my new map

 

[Adiktuz]

Its doable, even in GUI... I use it on my current proj... you just need to project a target point in front of the caster rather than using the caster's position directly, then damage all enemy units or whatsoever in a small circular area with the projected point as the center...

Check to see if the angle from the caster to the target is within 45 degrees of the casters facing angle.

Check to see if the angle from the caster to the target is within 45 degrees of the casters facing angle.

I believe that it is an instant cast spell without any target... ^_^

anyway that a good method for checking... ^_^

 

[Raven0]

when the guy casts the spell pick every unit within 350 yards and then check each one to see if the angle is legit. ^-^

 

[knight_godryu]

could you guys pls show it in a gui form thing like what i did so i will somewhat..you know, ehehe understand

 

[knight_godryu]

thank you

 

[knight_godryu]

and sorry i cant give you any rep..it says i need to spread more rep to others..sorry

EDIT:hey where did the gui form thing go? could someone pls turn it back or post it again pretty please (w/ dog pout)

 

[Adiktuz]

there's some error on the previous trigger... let's just do it this way coz its simpler...

• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • Ability being cast is equal to Attack
• Actions
  • set p1 = Position of Triggering Unit
  • set p2 = p1 offset by 125 towards facing of Triggering Unit
  • set g1 = Units within 150 of p2 matching blahblah
  • Unit Group - pick every unit in g1 and do
    • Do - Actions
      • damage
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p1)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p2)
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_g1)

 

[knight_godryu]

ok thnx btw

 

[knight_godryu]

one more question pls...what kind of variables are they?

 

[Adiktuz]

p1,p2 are point
g1 is group

 

[knight_godryu]

ok thnx again sorry for the inconvenience

 

[knight_godryu]

uhhm one more thing...what will i do with the Damage thing?

 

[Adiktuz]

• Unit - Cause TriggeringUnit to deal xx damage to PickedUnit blahblah

and please, don't multipost...

 

[knight_godryu]

yeah right thats what i did but when i casted the skill..it killed my unit?!?!?!

 

[Adiktuz]

maybe you forgot to add conditions into the group setting part (after the matching blahblah)...

 

[knight_godryu]

uhhm,...ok maybe thats a little bit no prob and this is it now i made the attack skill as a roar and when i casted it now recently it did not played any attack animation instead it casted a roar buff but of course it doeas not have any effect but still it did not cause any damage........what do you think is wrong? could you give me a sample map?i know this is somewhat too much but i would really appreciate it..and im really sorry for the inconvenience

 

[Adiktuz]

I cannot do a sample, coz I'm going to sleep, its 2am here...

I suggest using the spell Channel as a base rather than roar or any other spell... just set the Art - animation to attack to make the unit play its attack animation when casting the spell...

 

[knight_godryu]

ok thank you btw ill make sure i could return the favor in some way

 

[Adiktuz]

just improve your skills and practice and practice, and once you become good at it, help others...
