[GUI] Meat Hook v.01c

IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.

Moderator: Maker Date: 28th Feb 2012 Spell: Meat Hook v.01c Required changes Leak Unit - Create 1 Meat Hook (Head) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (TempUnitLoc offset by 25.00... You are using unit indexer but then setting the custom value of a unit yourself. This causes unit indexer to leave several indexes unrecycled. You should disable unit indexer indexing when you create the dummy unit Leak Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from MeatHook_Group) How to properly use crow form You cause a leak with CasterLocIndex every time you cast the spell Flying height manipulation is not done correctly, units and the chain head are at different heights. I recommend you try to set the dummy's movement type to none and flying height to 0 in object editor. Then add crow form and set height with triggers Suggested changes Change the version number to something more reasonable. V0.0x stuff shouldn't even be uploaded You could check that the caster is alive in the looping trigger Use less point variables, you can share them between the triggers

The hook is above units when the units are in water.
Leaks:

• Unit - Create 1 Meat Hook (Head) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (TempUnitLoc offset by 25.00...

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from MeatHook_Group) and do (Actions)

The looping trigger doesn't turn off.

We already have GUI Meat Hook in the spell database, I have to check whether this is different enough or not.

i think i fixed it? does my spell leak?

To fix the curving, you would need to set the meat hook units' heights depending on the Terrain Z.

If you want all meat hook units to be above the ground with a height of something like 64, you would need to set the unit's flying height to 64 - terrainZ

You can get terrainZ by creating a location at a point, and in custom scripts, you would set a real variable to GetLocationZ(udg_Location) like this:

• Custom script: set udg_LocationZ = GetLocationZ(udg_Location)

This assumes that the location variable is called Location.
You can change that.

LocationZ is a real variable.

Hope this helps.

tested it. it worked with "terrainZ - 64", the chain's height is now constant passing over the river

though i tried to apply it to the hooked unit, nothing happens.

should i update the spell?

what an original spell

HAHA, I did this spell for kicks long long time ago, I didn't know it would actually work. Went through my spell folders, and found this, thought I might upload this, since I haven't seen a GUI Meat Hook like the one from Pudge Wars ^^

 

[gorillabull]

Nice, all I had to do is change the height of some units and, replace that spinning blade with a hood. Now we're going somewhere!

Off-topic: Don't we already have this spell on the spells section? Power Hook v1.3

i see, i guess the differences between my hook and his power hook is that the caster is not paused, the chain units move, and curves HORRIBLY.

when you set a special affect to a var without a wait time its not needed, its just 1 more action taking cpu cycles

• Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Picked unit) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\HumanBlood\BloodElfSpellThiefBlood.mdl
• Set TempFX = (Last created special effect)
• Special Effect - Destroy TempFX

you can just change that to Special Effect - Destroy last created affect.
