That's really awesome APO, is it in JASS?...

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

if you really want formulars you can use the jump parabolas from this link:
https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/about-movement-172309/
but there already is a thread for code snippets in the jass section

Nice picture ap0 !

Boomerang
I guess I want the missile to be able to return correctly at the caster's location and disappear
But that thing can be added as well namely, [BOOMERANG RETURN INITIAL LOCATION something like that

Okay, i will see if i can make another one that returns to the caster

 

[mckill2009]

OK if you want a formula/pattern, here's a formula for Hashtable usage...

You may:
1. Ceate your own event
2. Replace the footman to a dummy unit
3. Change the duration timer and loop timer

Timer

• Timer
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Loc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Loc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Dummy = (Last created unit)
    • Set ID = (Key (Last created unit))
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc)
    • Hashtable - Save 10.00 as 1 of ID in Hash
    • Unit Group - Add Dummy to UGrp
    • Trigger - Turn on Timer Loop <gen>

• Timer Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UGrp and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Dummy = (Picked unit)
        • Set ID = (Key (Picked unit))
        • Set Timer = (Load 1 of ID from Hash)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Timer Greater than 0.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Hashtable - Save (Timer - 1.00) as 1 of ID in Hash
            • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(Timer)) above (Picked unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
            • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
            • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 100.00 towards 90.00 degrees
            • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Add a 0.01 second Generic expiration timer to Dummy
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from UGrp
            • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child ID in Hash
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (UGrp is empty) Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Game - Display to (All players) the text: TRIG OFF
                • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
              • Else - Actions

Why add expiration timer to the dummy when you can just, kill it ?
Plus, you already Set Dummy = Picked unit
Why Set ID = (Key (Picked unit)) again ?
Why not (Key (Dummy)) ?

yeah you can also do kill unit...for the others, Maker taught me that ...
also, there is no such thing as (key(dummy)...

 

[Adiktuz]

You can use variables for Keys...

 

[defskull]

Adiktuz has pwned mckill2009

 

[Adiktuz]

at least if ur using the normal WE, or jass hashtables in NewGen... ^_^

 

[mckill2009]

that's what I did...

• Set ID = (Key (Picked unit))

but no such thing as...

• (Key (Dummy))

unless that Dummy is an INTEGER...

 

[Adiktuz]

hmmm... you can use the JASS native using Custom script...

 

[mckill2009]

The thing is, my knowledge of JASS/custom script is just 10% at the moment, so
I dont know how to apply that (well I know, but I just dont know the code yet)...

 

[Adiktuz]

set udg_ID = GetHandleId(udg_Dummy)

 

[Magtheridon96]

The Backstab formula would be like this:
if GetUnitFacing(attacker) >= GetUnitFacing(attacked) - 30.0 and GetUnitFacing(attacker) <= GetUnitFacing(attacked) + 30.0 then

 

[Jay the Editor]

mckill2009, I face a problem in saving the Multi Shot ability that you made in vJASS in my map.
The syntax errors checks that there's a compile error in the line 625: Member redeclared : onInit and line 761: (From this instance)
Any way to solve it?

 

[Bannar]

if Cos((bj_RADTODEG * Atan2(Ytarget - Yattacking, Xtarget - Xattacking)) - GetUnitFacing(target)) > 0. then
Backstab formula can be something like that too.

you redeclared something inside the module, so remove it...

 

[Jay the Editor]

I don't get it... You mean I had change something in the script but what I did is just change the spell raw ID, dummy ID and the missile ID... Maybe I'll try it again later.

 

[Adiktuz]

maybe the code wasn't private and you have some other non-private function/module/whatever named onInit...

 

[mckill2009]

the module is private but maybe he declared 2 onInit on the same scope...

 

[Jay the Editor]

Oh gosh... I do not know how to solve it

 

[Adiktuz]

post the whole code that is showing the error...

 

[Jay the Editor]

I don't know how to show the whole code because the syntax error checking show the whole code of my map; but I got this (the below script is highlighted)
Line 605: Member redeclared: onInit

    private static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing

Line 741: From this instance

    implement MultiShot__Init

The errors above occur before I change anything. What I did is just import the whole folder from the MultiShot - vJASS.w3x and then pasted it in my map then I moved the trigger T32x and MultiShot to above folder which I catergorised in Heroes then remove the useless folder that I imported along.

 

[Adiktuz]

it means you have declared another onInit method on the same scope or library...

I'm not asking for the whole code, just the library or scope which contains this MultiShot blahblah...

 

[mckill2009]

implement MultiShot__Init >>> implement Init

 

[Adiktuz]

I believe it showed like that because it was already in the compiled form...
