[Trigger] Flying Height Jumps

[Rmx]

Hey i don't usually ask for this but i got a problem making a dummy missile fly upwards then come down looking like a circle ( Parabolique ) i have the dummy fly and come down like a Triangeled shape so help me understand how the formula works ?

 

[Yixx]

hmm,, Maths =D
-(x * x) makes a parabola from low to high, and to low again,
so it would be: 100 -1 * ( x * x)
100 is the highest of the bullet,,
i dont know how to make it go that way, but that is the formula

maybe:
---------------------
Event : Cast ability

Action: set x = -10

---------------

Event: every 0.1 sec of the game

set y = 100 + -1 * ( x * x )
if x is greater than or equal to 11
----- Do actions to stop the whole missile
move 'bullet' instantly to (point with polar offset ( position of bullet, 10 + x range, facing of bullet degrees)
change 'bullet' flying height to y height at 0
set x = x + 1
-------------------------------------------

I know this looks like quite a big mess,, but i hope it helped

EDIT: the range of the movement of the bullet has to be + 10 to make it not go BEHIND the shooter ( or whatever it is)
This number has to be the opposite of the starting number of x ( x = -10, then the range + 10,, x = -20 then the range + 20)
Please dont ask me to give you a new starting number for x if you change the maximum height, i dont know how to do that!

I don't understand that i don't like math i wan't a simpler way to do that or just post it so i can understand a bit better then that ?

 

[Yixx]

Trying NOW =D
Ill put it in 2 triggers

 

[Rmx]

ok so where is these trigers so i can understand better ?

 

[Yixx]

Have patience,, im working on it,,
Ill post them as soon as they are ready
( 2 or 3 mins)

• Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees
    • Set Bullet = (Last created unit)
    • Set BullitPosition = (Position of Bullet)
    • Set X = -10.00
    • Unit - Add Storm Crow Form to Bullet
    • Unit - Remove Storm Crow Form from Bullet

• Move
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Y = (100.00 + (-1.00 x (X x X)))
    • Unit - Move Bullet instantly to (BullitPosition offset by (11.00 + X) towards (Facing of Bullet) degrees)
    • Animation - Change Bullet flying height to Y at 0.00
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • X Greater than or equal to 11.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Bullet = No unit
      • Else - Actions

So are u done yet coz i don't have any patience hehe

 

[Yixx]

That should work,, didnt test it though,,

 

[Yixx]

Post 6, my post contains the triggers
1 for when you cast it (the first)
one for the periodic movement,,

 

[Rmx]

thnx But u didn't renew the X set X = X + 11 that is done like that ???? ya + rep anyways

 

[Yixx]

It works if you set 1 extra action (which you mentioned already)
the: set X =X + 1 after the ELSE

BUT!: this looks really crappy, use a higher max value, a lower PERIODIC time(more per sec) and then look how much you want the X to increase

(I THINK, but i dont know fur sure: that the starting value of X has to be the Square root of the max value ( square root of 100 = 10, that is why the starting value of X was -10)
