Elim tourny jump

[Just_Spectating]

elimination tourny jump

how do you make a jump ability like the elimination tourny one?

where it will bounce off things that are too high to reach and will jump down from cliffs and stuff like that

 

[PurplePoot]

It's scripted in jass using vector and physics systems and such.

Refer to iNfraNe's Particle System over at www.wc3campaigns.net

 

[Just_Spectating]

Awsooomee, so do i just copy the code into my map?

 

[PurplePoot]

Then you learn to use it; it's a system that does the calculations for you, but you have to give it the information.

 

[Just_Spectating]

so like, tell what units to act it upon and stuff?

 

[PurplePoot]

What unit to act upon, their x, y, and z speed, what forces to apply (gravity and so on), and things like that.

 

[Just_Spectating]

soo do i change this trigger?

• GUIVariables
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- This trigger is to help you copy all the variables in 1 go, no other use. It can be deteled --------
    • -------- particle system variables --------
    • Set MapSize[1] = 0.00
    • Set clsParticleConditionStrings[1] = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Set clsParticleConditions[1] = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Set clsParticleDummyEffect[1] = (Last created special effect)
    • Set clsParticleForces[1] = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Set clsParticlePlace[1] = 0
    • Set clsParticleSpeed[1] = 0
    • Set clsParticleTaken[1] = False
    • Set clsStringIndexString[1] = <Empty String>
    • Set conditionDeath = (This trigger)
    • Set forceGravity = 0
    • Set conditionGroundHit = (This trigger)
    • Set particleGroup = (Last created unit group)
    • Set particleSpawnOffset = 0
    • Set forceWind = 0
    • -------- vector system variables --------
    • Set vectorMaxIndex = 0
    • Set vectorTaken[1] = False
    • Set vectorUnusedAmount = 0
    • Set vectorUnusedIndex[1] = 0
    • Set vectorX[1] = 0.00
    • Set vectorY[1] = 0.00
    • Set vectorZ[1] = 0.00

 

[PurplePoot]

No, as the trigger comments say you Copy that trigger to your map then delete it to copy all the globals for the particle system.

They should have a readme somewhere in there for how to use it, I guess I'll have a look tomorrow (I'm on my mactop right now)

 

[Just_Spectating]

hey poot, can you go to chat real quick so you can talk to me about this system? pls. hope thats not spam or anything.

 

[PurplePoot]

Well, it isn't, and I can go to the chat, but I've never really more than glanced at that system before.

I just know they use it in elim (iNfraNe made it after all) and some basic stuff about it.

Jass Help Please!

1. Elimination Tournament Jump Trigger: [solved]


jass would be a way to make this right? ive downloaded the particle system, however, i need a jump trigger ability that will coincide with it. can some one please make me a jump system that works with the particle system with some detailed explanations? [this is solved]

2. Slide trigger with Particle system:


with jass, how can i make a sliding trigger on the "Certain Terrain" where, if the terrain is too steep, then the unit wont be able to go up with out enough speed, and will go faster down steeper terrain. Also if the unit is going fast enough, then it will jump off a hill of the terrain depending on the speed. is this possible? and if so can someone please help and explain how to do this?

 

[Just_Spectating]

i hope you have enough time :\

 

[Just_Spectating]

bump

1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 15 characters.

 

[Kingcools]

What unit to act upon, their x, y, and z speed, what forces to apply (gravity and so on), and things like that.

so, there is a possiblity in jass to get the z coordinates of a unit? oo that's cool

 

[PurplePoot]

local location l = GetUnitLoc(u)
local real z = GetLocationZ(l)//+GetUnitFlyHeight(u) if you want to add their fly height
call RemoveLocation(l)
set l = null

And Just_Spectating, I'll take a peek today.

EDIT: I was just looking, and isn't this basically what's in the example in the test map?

~Thread moved to Spells&Systems

 

[Just_Spectating]

wait, so how can i make the dummy ability work with it?

 

[PurplePoot]

Run the actions of the example when the unit casts the ability...

For example (play with the vals?)

I made it go for 1s (used tsa for conciseness, don't actually use it...), won't necessarily be very accurate or look that great, but you get the idea..

function Trig_Test_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'Your Ability Id'
endfunction

function Trig_Test_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
  local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
  call clsParticleCreate(u)
  call MakeUnitFlyable(u)
  call GroupAddUnit(udg_particleGroup, u)
  call ParticleSetSpeed(u,500,0,2000)
  call ParticleLinkConditionTrigger2Func(u, ParticleGroundHit(), "GroundHit_Bounce")
  call ParticleLinkConditionTrigger2Func(u, ParticleDeath(), "Death_Remove")
  call ParticleAddForce(u, Wind())
  call ParticleAddForce(u, G())
  call TriggerSleepAction(1)
  call clsParticleDestroy(u)
  call GroupRemoveUnit(udg_particleGroup, u)
  set u = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Test takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Test = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Test, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Test, Condition( function Trig_Test_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Test, function Trig_Test_Actions )
endfunction

 

[Just_Spectating]

lol, thanks poot, i owe you one +rep, however i still have to learn sum more jass, but yeah i understand it. the abil ID is the ctrl + d viewd (is it the e000, or the ANcl?) thing right?

 

[PurplePoot]

The first one (e000) in this case. However, make sure it's surrounded in the apostrophies.

 

[Just_Spectating]

ive changed the areas that need changing, however theres sumthing wrong with the call RemoveParticle(u) function..

 

[PurplePoot]

Whoops, you didn't need that. I updated the code on the other page.

 

[Just_Spectating]

hey, i removed the call wind part because he only jumped down with the wind. now he only jumps right, how can he jump the way hes facing?.. also can you help me on another thing? http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41013 no one seems to post on it.

 

[PurplePoot]

Oh, I can fix that easily, it's that the values are hardcoded and not dependent on facing.

For the other one;

-Slide can be done easily without Particle System

-We're working on jump here -.-

 

[Just_Spectating]

Oh, I can fix that easily, it's that the values are hardcoded and not dependent on facing.

wut do you mean?

 

[HINDYhat]

He means, do this:

function Trig_Test_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'Your Ability Id'
endfunction
function Trig_Test_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
  local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
  local real r=GetUnitFacing(u)*3.14159/180.
  call clsParticleCreate(u)
  call MakeUnitFlyable(u)
  call GroupAddUnit(udg_particleGroup, u)
  call ParticleSetSpeed(u,Cos(r)*500,Sin(r)*500,2000)
  call ParticleLinkConditionTrigger2Func(u, ParticleGroundHit(), "GroundHit_Bounce")
  call ParticleLinkConditionTrigger2Func(u, ParticleDeath(), "Death_Remove")
  call ParticleAddForce(u, Wind())
  call ParticleAddForce(u, G())
  call TriggerSleepAction(1)
  call clsParticleDestroy(u)
  call GroupRemoveUnit(udg_particleGroup, u)
  set u = null
endfunction
//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Test takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Test = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Test, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Test, Condition( function Trig_Test_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Test, function Trig_Test_Actions )
endfunction

 

[Just_Spectating]

cool thanks, but when he jumps, after he lands, how can you make him not bounce? and sometimes he stops in the air.

 

[HINDYhat]

Remove this line for the unit to not bounce:

call ParticleLinkConditionTrigger2Func(u, ParticleGroundHit(), "GroundHit_Bounce")

I once modded this system so that units would stop bouncing once idle. If I could find what I did, I might post it here.

 

[Just_Spectating]

cool thanks, ill post if any result

ok, now.. when he lands, he slides a bit, and hes going through walls.

 

[HINDYhat]

GAH 1 second.

I'll try to fix this.

EDIT: Okay, add this in the Particle Supplement Functions trigger. Add it at the very bottom:

function GroundHit_RemoveParticle takes nothing returns nothing
  local unit u = GetEnumUnit()
  call RemoveParticle(u,false)
endfunction

Now, in your trigger, replace this line:

call ParticleLinkConditionTrigger2Func(u, ParticleDeath(), "Death_Remove")

By this line:

call ParticleLinkConditionTrigger2Func(u, ParticleGroundHit(), "GroundHit_RemoveParticle")

 

[Just_Spectating]

awsome. thanks. ill post, if any, result

ok.. now he gets removed once he hits the ground..

 

[HINDYhat]

I edited the post, be sure you did what I said.

 

[Just_Spectating]

once again, awsome thanks, i post any result

hes not bouncing off walls, just landing in them.

 

[HINDYhat]

Of course he's not bouncing -.- You don't want him to.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i wanted him not to bounce when he landed on flat ground, but bounced off walls then landing back onto the ground like in elimination tourny.

 

[PurplePoot]

I assume you'd have to add another event which involved hitting the wall.

 

[Just_Spectating]

well, instead i just made it bouncing again, but sometimes, he stops in the air... how can he stop on the ground at all times?

 

[PurplePoot]

Well, mine just stopped after a generic 1 second.

What you could do is have a GroundHit_Bounce that called RemoveParticle if the speed was less than a certain amount.

 

[Just_Spectating]

so, it stops after one second, but sometimes, when it bounces, it stops in the middle of a bounce and is like 3 inches off the ground.

 

[PurplePoot]

As I said, to amend it you'd stop it after a certain speed loss rather than after a fixed duration.

 

[Just_Spectating]

how would i do that?

 

[PurplePoot]

I'll work on all this - probably tomorrow, maybe Wednesday since I have 2 projects to start[...erm I mean finish ], which are due on Wednesday.

(Well, my math one is half done or so...)

 

[Just_Spectating]

k thanks alot poot.

 

[HINDYhat]

It's easy, really. There are speed globals. You just do a periodic check of the speed globals, and once they are all low enough, you just remove the particle effect and set the height of the unit to 0. I did this once, but since I've cleaned my computer I think I've deleted it.

 

[Diablo-dk]

function GroundHit_BounceJump takes nothing returns nothing
  local unit u = GetEnumUnit()
  local integer i = GetUnitUserData(u)
  local integer p = udg_clsParticlePlace[i]
  local integer v = udg_clsParticleSpeed[i]
  local integer vector1 = VectorGetTerrainNormal(udg_vectorX, udg_vectorY, 25.0)
  local integer vector2 = VectorProjectVector(v,vector1)
  set udg_vectorX = udg_vectorX - udg_vectorX[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  set udg_vectorY = udg_vectorY - udg_vectorY[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  set udg_vectorZ = udg_vectorZ - udg_vectorZ[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  if IsTerrainPathable(GetUnitX(u),GetUnitY(u), PATHING_TYPE_WALKABILITY) then  
      call PauseUnit(u,false)
      call RemoveParticle(u,false)
endif
  call VectorScale(vector2, -2)
  call VectorAdd(v, vector2)
  call VectorScale(v, 0.90)
  call VectorDestroy(vector1)
  call VectorDestroy(vector2)
  set u = null
endfunction

Replacing "GroundHit_Bounce" with the above function should make it bounce off walls.

 

[Diablo-dk]

Well, there are some other systems on wc3c which does what you asked for.
But i can give you a hint how to make it with the Particle system.

You'll have to check the terrain around the unit, which can be done with the VectorGetTerrainNormal() function. After you have done that, you'll have to increase it's speed toward that direction. I can't show you how to do that right now, but i've done something similar before.

 

[PurplePoot]

This thread should really be merged with the other... shall I?

 

[Just_Spectating]

function GroundHit_BounceJump takes nothing returns nothing
  local unit u = GetEnumUnit()
  local integer i = GetUnitUserData(u)
  local integer p = udg_clsParticlePlace[i]
  local integer v = udg_clsParticleSpeed[i]
  local integer vector1 = VectorGetTerrainNormal(udg_vectorX, udg_vectorY, 25.0)
  local integer vector2 = VectorProjectVector(v,vector1)
  set udg_vectorX = udg_vectorX - udg_vectorX[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  set udg_vectorY = udg_vectorY - udg_vectorY[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  set udg_vectorZ = udg_vectorZ - udg_vectorZ[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  if IsTerrainPathable(GetUnitX(u),GetUnitY(u), PATHING_TYPE_WALKABILITY) then  
      call PauseUnit(u,false)
      call RemoveParticle(u,false)
endif
  call VectorScale(vector2, -2)
  call VectorAdd(v, vector2)
  call VectorScale(v, 0.90)
  call VectorDestroy(vector1)
  call VectorDestroy(vector2)
  set u = null
endfunction

Replacing "GroundHit_Bounce" with the above function should make it bounce off walls.

so i can do wut HINDYhat said and then place this code into replacing the "GroundHit_Bounce"?

 

[PurplePoot]

Yes, and that's Diablo-DK

 

[Just_Spectating]

You guys are all so very nice and AWSOME! gg thanks~ ill post ne more problems, and Poot, merge that other thread for me thanks

Ok, so tell me if this is all good. This is all the code I made and I put it together like this.

function Trig_Test_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'Your Ability Id'
endfunction
function Trig_Test_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
  local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
  local real r=GetUnitFacing(u)*3.14159/180.
  call clsParticleCreate(u)
  call MakeUnitFlyable(u)
  call GroupAddUnit(udg_particleGroup, u)
  call ParticleSetSpeed(u,Cos(r)*500,Sin(r)*500,2000)
function GroundHit_BounceJump takes nothing returns nothing
  local unit u = GetEnumUnit()
  local integer i = GetUnitUserData(u)
  local integer p = udg_clsParticlePlace[i]
  local integer v = udg_clsParticleSpeed[i]
  local integer vector1 = VectorGetTerrainNormal(udg_vectorX, udg_vectorY, 25.0)
  local integer vector2 = VectorProjectVector(v,vector1)
  set udg_vectorX = udg_vectorX - udg_vectorX[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  set udg_vectorY = udg_vectorY - udg_vectorY[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  set udg_vectorZ = udg_vectorZ - udg_vectorZ[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  if IsTerrainPathable(GetUnitX(u),GetUnitY(u), PATHING_TYPE_WALKABILITY) then
      call PauseUnit(u,false)
      call RemoveParticle(u,false)
endif
  call VectorScale(vector2, -2)
  call VectorAdd(v, vector2)
  call VectorScale(v, 0.90)
  call VectorDestroy(vector1)
  call VectorDestroy(vector2)
  set u = null
endfunction
  call ParticleLinkConditionTrigger2Func(u, ParticleGroundHit(), "GroundHit_RemoveParticle")
  call ParticleAddForce(u, Wind())
  call ParticleAddForce(u, G())
  call TriggerSleepAction(1)
  call clsParticleDestroy(u)
  call GroupRemoveUnit(udg_particleGroup, u)
  set u = null
endfunction
//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Test takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Test = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Test, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Test, Condition( function Trig_Test_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Test, function Trig_Test_Actions )
endfunction

This is a crazy code.

Is that right? of course, i changed the "Test" to "Jump"(the name of the trig) and made the ability the A000 thing

 

[PurplePoot]

Try it out, say what happens.

But no, your new function doesn't go inside the old one.

You should have something like this;

function GroundHit_BounceJump takes nothing returns nothing
  local unit u = GetEnumUnit()
  local integer i = GetUnitUserData(u)
  local integer p = udg_clsParticlePlace[i]
  local integer v = udg_clsParticleSpeed[i]
  local integer vector1 = VectorGetTerrainNormal(udg_vectorX, udg_vectorY, 25.0)
  local integer vector2 = VectorProjectVector(v,vector1)
  set udg_vectorX = udg_vectorX - udg_vectorX[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  set udg_vectorY = udg_vectorY - udg_vectorY[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  set udg_vectorZ = udg_vectorZ - udg_vectorZ[v]*ParticlePeriod()
  if IsTerrainPathable(GetUnitX(u),GetUnitY(u), PATHING_TYPE_WALKABILITY) then
      call PauseUnit(u,false)
      call RemoveParticle(u,false)
  endif
  call VectorScale(vector2, -2)
  call VectorAdd(v, vector2)
  call VectorScale(v, 0.90)
  call VectorDestroy(vector1)
  call VectorDestroy(vector2)
  set u = null
endfunction
function Trig_Test_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'Your Ability Id'
endfunction
function Trig_Test_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
  local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
  local real r=GetUnitFacing(u)*3.14159/180.
  call clsParticleCreate(u)
  call MakeUnitFlyable(u)
  call GroupAddUnit(udg_particleGroup, u)
  call ParticleSetSpeed(u,Cos(r)*500,Sin(r)*500,2000)
  call ParticleLinkConditionTrigger2Func(u, ParticleGroundHit(), "GroundHit_BounceJump")
  call ParticleAddForce(u, Wind())
  call ParticleAddForce(u, G())
  set u = null
endfunction
//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Test takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Test = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Test, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Test, Condition( function Trig_Test_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Test, function Trig_Test_Actions )
endfunction

And don't forget to change the rawcode!

Threads merged, it looks a little odd because it didn't concatenate them -.-
