[GUI] Component Knockback System with 3D 1.03

[Moderator]

12th Dec 2015
IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.

Required changes:

• Don't pause units. Pausing units pauses buffs also
• There's an empty if/then/else in the stop trigger
• The spell knocks units over pathing blockers

Suggested changes:

• The collision hashtable isn't initialized
• Knocking units over Blizzard cliffs is troublesome since units can get caught in places
  they can't get out of

Very usefull system =)

FYI, there was a knockback system on Hive with 3D effect. The system, however, was depreciated, when Bride made his knockback system.

I did have a look at Bribe's system, which doesn't have z-function. Care to link me to the one you mentioned?

Wow, yet another awesome system from rulerofiron99

Spent a few minutes with the test map just knocking peasants and footman around the place, was quite fun

When a unit hits a tree, it should also slow down like it does with hitting another unit.

Makes sense. Will add.

You shouldn't really bother because it was removed. Still, you might want to look at comments, so here is the link:

Does this have any unit indexer?

Also GhostHunter,Paladon's is the ugliest KB system i have ever seen.
Mine is better than Paladon's

I am disappointed on you rulerofiron (

Dont you know how to destroy trees ??

Btw,thanks for using my system I love you

Also,before you use Cos/Sin on an angle,multiply the angle first to 3.14159/180 so that it converts to Degrees

Do you use any arc method?


Because i saw this,gonna update my knockback system from 2D to 3D

 

[rulerofiron99]

It uses Bribe's UnitIndexer, as stated.

This system is destroying trees/destructibles as intended. I had a look at the way you destroy trees in your system, and I'm happy with my system also being able to destroy Rock Chunks.

Also,before you use Cos/Sin on an angle,multiply the angle first to 3.14159/180 so that it converts to Degrees

No need.

Do you use any arc method?

Gravity causes it to arc by itself.

Because i saw this,gonna update my knockback system from 2D to 3D

It's gonna be good

Are you not scared of destroying the bridges,cathedral,structures?

 

[rulerofiron99]

Aren't those usually doodads?

EDIT: Ah, I see that they are indeed destroyed. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[Almia]

Just listen to me

 

[Almia]

btw,make the peasant locust
hided units w/ are not invul can be damaged,hence,get killed.

Did you somehow get some codes/ideas from the Cokemonkey11's Knockback 3d?

 

[Maker]

I think there's no need to pause units, and no need to order the harvester to stop if the order is not harvest.
You could detect collision with trees when flying, not only when landing to prevent units being trapped in the middle of trees.

Looks like a good system.

The peasant is hidden, hidden units cannot be enumed or damaged.

All of the codes/ideas are based on things I have made before, and things I learnt from studying Physics.

I took nothing from Codemonkey11's system, but as stated I did take the tree cutting from your system.

Thanks.

I pause the units so that they cannot cast/move while being knocked back - since I use SetUnitX/Y instead of MoveUnit.

I will add a height threshold for tree collision detection.

 

[Maker]

You can use destructable occluder height for the height collision detection, but that requires every destructable to have the height set correctly.

I'd use stun instead of pause. Or use hidden ability based on Channel and make it disable other abilities. I try to avoid pause at all costs.

I want to avoid using stun, as that requires more object editor work and importing. As the system is right now, it requires only trigger importing.

Are there bugs involved with using pause? Or is it mainly that the unit's buffs and such are paused?

UPDATES:
- Now using occlusion height
- Tree cutter has to be ordered to stop, otherwise he'll go and harvest a nearby tree

That. Also prevents any interaction from the player to the unit.

You know what !?@! I think you're the most bad person here..!!
I'm starting to hate you.

Damnation.

Fair enough. I guess I'll add a stundummy then.

This isnt leak? I mean Destructible group.

 

[rulerofiron99]

They don't leak. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/index55.html#post1591088

But remember that it is a knockback system, not a knockback system that stuns.

 

[rulerofiron99]

I will definitely make it optional.

But I'm still considering to rather make a "pause emulator" - a set of triggers that prevents any orders from going through.

 

[Almia]

Btw,remember,if you use my GUCS,this will have to destroy trees w/ precision.Try adding some radius
Try my hero contest #6 entry.

I am.

Search radius is collision + a set collision add range.

 

[Nightbrowler]

There is a bug, when casting on units that levitate, they go through cliffs or is there an option for this?

Yes, you can set the max flying unit collision height in CKBS Config.

• Set CKBS_CollisionMaxHeight = 70.00

 

[Almia]

@Doomhammer
I didnt say anything wrong (

 

[Almia]

call UnitAddAbility(GetLastCreatedUnit(), 'Aloc')
->
call UnitAddAbility(CKBS_TreeCutter, 'Aloc')

 

[rulerofiron99]

call UnitAddAbility(GetLastCreatedUnit(), 'Aloc')
->
call UnitAddAbility(CKBS_TreeCutter, 'Aloc')

Lol, you've read my code more than I have!

 

[Almia]

That's what an a user dreaming to be a mod does

 

[Almia]

oh forgot to spot this one.
If you are going to use the getunitcollision size more than once,why not run it above the code?

 

[Maker]

There's an empty if/then/else in the stop trigger and the collision size hashtable isn't used (initialized).
