[JASS] Help with converting spell to latest patch

[BSWhunter]

Help, I'm using an imported spell that uses LocalHandleVariables and I don't now how to convert it to the next patch. Its really important, so could someone help me with it?

function Trig_Tunnel_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
   return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A02J'
endfunction

function TunnelDig takes nothing returns nothing
   local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
   local unit u = GetHandleUnit(t,"u")
   local real z = GetHandleReal(t,"z")
   local real ang = GetHandleReal(t,"ang")
   local real dist = GetHandleReal(t,"dist")
   local real fxdist = GetHandleReal(t,"fxdist")
   local real x = GetUnitX(u)
   local real y = GetUnitY(u)
   local real newx = x + 20 * Cos(ang)
   local real newy = y + 20 * Sin(ang)
   local real newZ = GetXYZ(newx,newy)
   if  dist <= 10 or newZ > z+5  then
       call FlushHandleLocals(t)
       call DestroyTimer(t)	
   else
       if fxdist <= 0 then
          call AddSpecialEffect("Objects\\Spawnmodels\\Undead\\ImpaleTargetDust\\ImpaleTargetDust.mdl",newx,newy)
       else
          call SetHandleReal(t,"fxdist",fxdist-20)
       endif
       call SetUnitPosition(u,newx,newy)
       call SetHandleReal(t,"dist",dist-20)
   endif
   set t = null
   set u = null
endfunction

function Trig_Tunnel_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    local location loc =  GetSpellTargetLoc()
    call SetHandleHandle(t,"u",GetTriggerUnit())
    call SetHandleReal(t,"z",GetLocationZ(loc))
    call SetHandleReal(t,"ang",A2PXY(GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit()),GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit()),GetLocationX(loc),GetLocationY(loc))*3.14159/180)
    call SetHandleReal(t,"dist",D2PXY(GetLocationX(loc),GetLocationY(loc),GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit()),GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit())))
    call SetHandleReal(t,"fxdist",100)
    call TimerStart(t,0.05,true,function TunnelDig)
    call RemoveLocation(loc)
    set loc = null
    set t = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Tunnel takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Tunnel = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Tunnel, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Tunnel, Condition( function Trig_Tunnel_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Tunnel, function Trig_Tunnel_Actions )
endfunction

Thanks in advance.
Also, how do you stop subscribing from every thread you post in?

 

[Storyyeller]

Are you sure it needs to be changed?

If it doesn't use the return bug it should be fine.

 

[aznricepuff]

he uses handlevars, which is based around return bug and gamecache.

You should read up on the new hashtable type. It's basically gamecache but with actual native support for saving handle types (and more than just units).

 

[BSWhunter]

Yeah, but I don't know how to store em in units.
If someone could just redo this, I think I could work out all the rest of my spells that use this system.

 

[aznricepuff]

Use GetHandleId() on a unit. It's the same thing as H2I. Since each unit (technically each handle object) has a unique handle id, you can use a unit's id as a key for the hashtable. So to "attach" something to a unit, just get the unit's handle id, then save whatever you want to attach to the hashtable using the handle id as the key. Then when you want to retrieve whatever you attached, just reference the unit's handle id as the key.

 

[BSWhunter]

Err, sorry, I didnt really understand that. Could someone please show me a simple trigger that uses it?

 

[BSWhunter]

Bump

 

[Saia_Djinn]

you can also use structs for it Vexorian made once this tutorial how to move from handlevars to structs and got an amazing performance effect on it :

thats a link

Slightly off topic---
Can hashtables be reloaded like a filetype like gamecache?
e.g. it saves unit, a different game it loads the unit from the players PC

 

[Cokemonkey11]

No. (post too short)
