Entering/Leaving Combat

[Spoontoobig]

Hello,

Have one question, is it possible to make entering/leaving combat system? (Like world of warcraft.. you enter combat then you cant do some spells or eat only when out of combat) if it possible then how?

Thank you!

Possible in GUI ? :<

 

[GhostThruster]

There's a vJASS one by Zwiebelchen on the Hive spell section. It is an aggro system.

 

[Noobsmoke]

so ? no 1 knows a gui one ? i also need it

It's actually very easy to create.

It could be as simple as this:

Detect when unit takes damage, add unit to "in combat group". Create some sort of timer for the unit, and when it expires, check if there are enemies close by. If there are, you can refresh the timer with some value. Each time the unit takes damage, the timer is refreshed.

I can create it if I can solve one other problem first.

i don't learned hashtables yet /facepalm

Try this. It affects heroes only. Heroes can't cast spells while in combat.

When you take damage or an enemy is close to you, you are in combat.

You can configure the "in combat" duration and range.

Maker, It's good, but is there any chance to add spells to list(in triggers) what spells i cant use in combat ? Because I want to use some spells too.. lol

 

[Noobsmoke]

thanks :* +rep

 

[Maker]

You can do it like this:

• InCombat Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) is in InCombatGroup) Equal to True
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Ability being cast) Equal to Animate Dead
            • (Ability being cast) Equal to Avatar
  • Actions

or list the abilities into an array and loop through them:

• For each (Integer loopA) from 1 to NumberOfAbilities, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Ability Being Cast equal to Abilities[loopA]
      • Then - Actions
        • *your actions*
        • Skip Remaining Actions
      • Else - Actions

Maybe u misunderstand me . I'll give u an example how it should work:
I start attacking/casting spell
Then I enter combat
When I enter combat, some spells become grey or like passive ant its unable to cast.
After a while when not at combat for 4 secs those spells become active and I can cast them again!

 

[Maker]

I understood you perfectly. If you do as I told you, then that's how the system works. Except the icons getting greyed. That's not possible without cooldowns bugging.

 

[defskull]

Replace the spell with another dummy spell with DISBTN ?
It would ends up as the spell is in "cooldown" mode or something

 

[Thyrael]

As an option you can create a dummy unit that casts a buff on a unit when entering combat. By using that, you'll have an icon+tooltip in the units HUD. Further you don't need to handle timers, because of the inbuilt timer of the buff. If a unit tries to cast a spell, simply check if it got the "incombatbuff". After the buff exspires the unit can cast as normal. If the unit stays in combat, simply recast the buff on the unit.

 

[defskull]

Check my trigger, that is enough I think .
Creating Dummies will takes up more space in the trigger AND making the trigger less-efficiency
We'll take simple but style trigger =D

Cast ultimate, enter combat for a few seconds, exit combat -> cooldown reset for the ultimate -> ??? -> profit.

 

[defskull]

I'd like to know the "???" procedure ;D
