[Trigger] "get rect in wich unit X is currently standing" function?

[oxxo]

is there such a function or a way to get that rect ?

i need it but gui is so ridiculously limited and sadly i don't know jass

can anyone help me out?

Here is it:

native IsUnitInRegion               takes region whichRegion, unit whichUnit returns boolean
native RegionAddRect            takes region whichRegion, rect r returns nothing

You use it like this:

call RegionAddRect(YourRegion, YourRect)
if IsUnitInRegion(YourRegion, YourUnit) then
       // if the unit is in region this actions should fire
endif

You mean like:

• Map Initialization
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Region[1] = (<Your region0001 <gen>>)
  • Set Region[2] = (<Your region0002...)
    • and so on..

• Trigger
• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Temp_Point = (Position of (<Your unit>))
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to X
    • Loop - Actions
      • If/ Then/ Else
        • If (conditions)
          • ((Region[IntegerA]) contains Temp_Point) Equal to True
        • Then
          • ...
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

Region variable is of type 'Region' with array ticked and the "X" on the Integer above is the maximum array number you will use, up to the number of the regions.

i belive he asks how to get rect in which unit currently is standing but not sure!

Here is it:

native IsUnitInRegion               takes region whichRegion, unit whichUnit returns boolean
native RegionAddRect            takes region whichRegion, rect r returns nothing

A region isn't a rect.

Hmm, I added Rect to Region.

 

[oxxo]

thanks guys... but im afraid i won't be able to get it to use... my jass knowledge is just so limited...

could you do me a favour and make a script that stores the rect in wich "Temp_Unit" is currently standing in a "Temp_Rect" variable?

would be so awesome :|

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Here you go.

• Actions
  • Set TempPoint = (Position of (YourUnit))
  • Set TempRegion = YourRegion
    • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Does TempRegion contain point TempPoint) Equal to (==) True
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
  • Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

 

[oxxo]

thanks but im afraid that trigger only checks "is point X in rect X" and therefore to really determine in what rect point X is among 80 rects (wich i have) i would have to create 80
"if/then/else" functions

wich doesnt help me out

That is why you should have a look at the trigger i already gave you!! At least, check the whole thread before answering :S

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Here ya go:

• RectInit
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Region[1] = No region
    • Set Region[2] = No region
    • Set Region[3] = No region
    • -------- And so on... --------

The second trigger is similar to my previous posted one, so I'll just add the changes.

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to NumberOfRegions, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Region[(Integer A)] contains TempPoint) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions

thanks folks! sry pharaoh, i read your post,

but i figured i would have had to manually define 70 variables.

• RectInit
• Events
• Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
• Set Region[1] = No region
• Set Region[2] = No region
• Set Region[3] = No region
• -------- And so on... --------

there is no way to do it without having to specifiy every region manually ?

thanks alot still everyone! highly appreciated

No, world edit cannot magically predict what regions you want to use, so you have to manually define them.

Sadly

 

[Reaper2008]

True. Sometimes i think it would be better if regions were sorted arithmetically...

 

[oxxo]

it doenst make any sense that the world editor is not able to convert a regions name into an integer, ...

say you have one hundred regions name like this

"combat area 001"
"combat area 002"
"combat area 003"
"combat area 004"
"combat area 005"

why not give the editor the function to treat them as a group of regions (due to the similar name) enabling actions like "random region from region group" ... ?

or atleast add a function that automatically defines all those 100 regions in a varibale with 100 arrays. that would save shitloads of time and im sure such a function would be ridiculously easy to create.

=/ anyway i did it manually thank you very much everyone involved in helping a noob out
