Help me! JAWS are eating me.

[Vinz]

the Line Damage.

 

[Malhorne]

Yeah I know zzz
I'm sorry need to do some english/Post a spellpack and then do your system

 

[Vinz]

I need some help regarding angles. I never went to 3rd year class(at least not yet) so don't expect me to know about trigonometry (those Cos and Sin functions make no sense to me as to why they only take one argument when they compare stuff).

If an object, rather a ball, hit a wall, how would I know in which angle to send the ball to?

 

[chobibo]

I'm bad at math, sorry I can't help dude.
Try this, might help. Dunno.

EDIT: Here's more: http://www.rodedev.com/tutorials/gamephysics/

 

[T. D. W.]

I know that u take the angle between the movement line of the ball and the line that makes 90° with the surface being hit, you then make the new trajectory line from that same line from the opposite side with the angle that u calculated, problem is that idk how u can get the angle of the surface where the ball hits in Warcraft

 

[Paliouras]

Wow Jad is alive

 

[T. D. W.]

Yesh i am indeed alive xD

 

[Vinz]

problem is that idk how u can get the angle of the surface where the ball hits in Warcraft

Well my mini-game is a rectangle. So basically I could put regions. But my mind has burned out. Can you put some outlines, etc.?

 

[T. D. W.]

What u mean by outlines :3

 

[Rheiko]

Jad is back D:<

 

[T. D. W.]

Yes yes, I am here :3 but not really keen on doing anything :3

 

[Vinz]

Outline.. you know like offset this loc by that and add this angle to this.

 

[T. D. W.]

so as you can see, u will need to calculate the angle between the line perpendicular to the region or border, and the trajectory line of the ball, then do the opposite of it compared to the perpendicular line

#paint :3

 

[Vinz]

How about the little spaces on the corners that don't touch the regions?

 

[Vinz]

New question too: How does one make the character ranged upon acquiring an item? I saw it in an RPG. Passive Transformation Trick?

 

[T. D. W.]

For the corners, u can create 4 more regions, and on those cases, u will take a line instead of the perpendicular one will be the bisectrix of the 90° angle made by the 2 borders

And, the only way to change a unit's attack range is either by metamorphosis, or by long rifles upgrade

 

[chobibo]

Jad's still got the moves.

Welcome back Rheiko, how come nobody welcomed Rheiko back?

 

[T. D. W.]

I repeat, just got bored of Warcraft, not the whole coding mathematical idk what else thing xD
And I did not even know if Rheiko was active or not :3

 

[Vinz]

Okay welcome back Jad. ^_^

Thanks for the outlines and stuff.

 

[T. D. W.]

You're welcome :3

 

[Vinz]

Um Jad I kind of forgot that heroes should also be allowed to bounce the ball around. What to do. ;_;

 

[T. D. W.]

U mean, the balls bounce when they touch heroes?
If yes, just add 180° to the angle of the ball's trajectory, and voila

 

[Vinz]

I'm not quite sure about that as it will simply bounce back, and I want players to be able to bump balls at least 45 degrees.

I think this will be easier. How do I know the multiple of 45 that is closest to the ball angle trajectory?

 

[chobibo]

Jad's right, adding 180 to the trajectory angle would make the balls go in the opposite direction.

0------> HERO
<------0 HERO

 

[Vinz]

It's not really the opposite direction that I always want the ball to bounce to.. I mean if The ball comes in an angle of 100, it's closer to 90 than 135, hence I will calculate from 90 and instead of making the ball turnaround, I will send it to 80 degrees.

 

[Vinz]

I need help. This always returns false even though the DebugMsg exactly above it says that FC_Name is "Trueshot". SO WHAT THE HELL.

• Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(udg_FC_Name[udg_A])
• Custom script: if udg_FC_Name[udg_A] == "Trueshot" then
• Custom script: set udg_TempUnit = ClosestOfGroupLoc(udg_TempGroup, udg_TempPoints[1])
• Set TempPoints[2] = (Position of TempUnit)
• Set TempPoints[3] = (TempPoints[1] offset by (Distance between TempPoints[1] and TempPoints[2]) towards FC_Angle[A] degrees)
• Set TempReals[2] = (1.00 + (((Distance between TempPoints[2] and TempPoints[3]) x 0.25) x 0.01))
• Set TempReals[3] = ((FC_Damage[A] x (((FC_Distance[A] x 0.03) x 0.01) + 1.00)) x TempReals[2])
• Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(R2S(udg_TempReals[3]))
• Set DamageEventType = 2
• Set DamageType = 8
• Unit - Cause FC_Caster[A] to damage TempUnit, dealing TempReals[3] damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoints[2])
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoints[3])
• Custom script: endif

Then even if I remove the 'if' block it still doesn't work for no reason:

• Custom script: set udg_TempUnit = ClosestOfGroupLoc(udg_TempGroup, udg_TempPoints[1])
• Set TempPoints[2] = (Position of TempUnit)
• Set TempPoints[3] = (TempPoints[1] offset by (Distance between TempPoints[1] and TempPoints[2]) towards FC_Angle[A] degrees)
• Set TempReals[2] = (1.00 + (((Distance between TempPoints[2] and TempPoints[3]) x 0.25) x 0.01))
• Set TempReals[3] = ((FC_Damage[A] x (((FC_Distance[A] x 0.03) x 0.01) + 1.00)) x TempReals[2])
• Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(R2S(udg_TempReals[3]))
• Set DamageEventType = 2
• Set DamageType = 8
• Unit - Cause FC_Caster[A] to damage TempUnit, dealing TempReals[3] damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoints[2])
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoints[3])

 

[chobibo]

That's a lot of work, you could either, set the facing angle as the bouncing plane or calculate it using something I don't know, let Jad explain it lol haha XD.

 

[Vinz]

Nonono, it's a different spell, there simply seems to be an invisible skip remaining actions.

 

[Vinz]

====================

Okay guys my mind is burning out. I did something similar in the past, but it did not include this crap I'm in. >.<

So... here's what I'm trying to do. Every three attacks, the hero applies a non stacking mark on the target. Abilities from the hero can detonate the mark. Mark lasts for 4 seconds. (This duration is why I need a countdown index)

Mark detonation is done with the Damage Mod. My problem is the mark application.

So can anyone give me an outline of how to do this? Like example GUI trigs. (Yes, GUI. I feel more comfortable reading GUI than JASS (and JASS scripts need to exist before the caller func unlike libs), and vJASS is useful but not his time.)

 

[Paliouras]

use Do Nothing.I heard it works :truestory:

 

[Vinz]

Q_Q

For some reason when I post here I solve it a minute later.

 

[Paliouras]

Because I tell you to use the One Function obviously

 

[Vinz]

Your rreply isnn't evven a mminute lateer. Q_Q madness

 

[Paliouras]

wwhy arre youu wwriting liike thiss??

 

[Vinz]

I accidentally doubled 'r' because my hands were trembling, so I just continued it. Mwahahah.

 

[Paliouras]

Oookkkk

 

[chobibo]

Damn Pali! Be more sensitive damnit! /kidding
What happened to Malhorne? He's busy as "fuck" lolololol

 

[Paliouras]

Most likely stalking me/skirts.

 

[chobibo]

Oh ho! Maybe... *censored* and some steamy *censored* ngahahahaha XD

 

[Vinz]

Egg cells? Oh, no, it must be something more sticky.

 

[chobibo]

Egg cells... I dunno if you could get them normally without medical tools, I mean they come out as menstrual secretions but I don't think it would be pleasant...

 

[Vinz]

Uterus residue?

 

[chobibo]

Yeah haha XD I didn't know you were "that" mature already buddy lol. [not an insult okay lololol]. "Moderation is key", that's what my dad used to say.

 

[Vinz]

Haha, of course, we do stuff moderately...
..Unless we are *that* bored. xD

 

[chobibo]

Oh sh... I need a waifu...
