[Trigger] Help With Duel Trigger

[zach807]

I need a way to store the position of every player's hero right before the duel and then a way to pan the camera back to that point after the duel.
I don't think it should be too hard, but I'm kind of new at this so I couldn't figure it out. Also I would like to know how to clear unit variables with custom script. My duel triggers so far are:

• Duel Timer
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 60.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Start Duel_Timer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 180.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Time Until Duel
    • Set Duel_TW = (Last created timer window)
    • Countdown Timer - Show Duel_TW

Umm, why would you want to clean unit variables with custom script.
Jsut set them to -no unit. That is equal to null in jass.
If everyone has a hero, use some kinda loop wiht arrays to get every hero (In some other trigger, you probably already have set them to a unit array. If not, do it.) and set their position to another array. (Location array.)
After the fight, return everyone to the stored positions, use a camera action to set the camera target to teh position, and kill the leaks.
Love your use of group names = Original_BADASS
Sorry if I couldn't show it to you ing GUI text. I don't write that very well away from my comp.

 

[zach807]

I have absolutely no experience with arrays could you explain what they are exactly and how to use them?

Edit: Is this the proper setup for a unit array (for heroes)?

• Hero Array
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (All units of Hero_Chooser are dead) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Heroes and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Hero_Array[(Number of players)] = (Picked unit)

 

[Arnadath]

I found a bug in yor code:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in Death_Units and do (Wait until (((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True), checking every 1.00 seconds)

Unit Group - Pick every unit in Life_Units and do (Wait until (((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True), checking every 1.00 seconds).

This two (and i think there are more of them)are lines existing in world editor unlimited, a tool that we all love but isnt supported anymore by warcraft. I am sure there are more of these kinda bugs in your script ( i didnt havbe much time to check them all). You better revive all the units in light and dark force before starting the duel.

The answer in your problem now, is this: you can make an array of size 12 of type "point" and store the heroes in it with the Integer - Player number. after that you pick with a "for" loop everyone from number 1 - 12,make the duel. After its complited, revive them all and pan you camera in the point[for loop integer whatever] and move the hero of player[for loop integer] in this point. you might also need a variable array for the heroes of each player

Note: i assumed that 12 are the players. change this number if less.

Good luck with your map

[Vosty]

Your hero array is a bit messed up. It will only store the last guy.
When the player picks the hero, set the array unit to the number of the picking player.
For all teh parts where you use (Number of players), make some kind of loop ( The each integer A kind from 1 to number of players. Sorry if that isn't very easy) and you and use the:
Set location[integer A] to location of unit[integer A]
This also leaks, you may want to touch up on leaks.
Jsut say if you need me to say more.

 

[zach807]

Ok i think i got it figured out. These are my new lines of code that pertain to the arrays.

So this should put the hero into the array under the player number. As in:
1-Grim Reaper
2-Samurai
6-Ninja
7-Ancient of Stone

• Set Hero_Array[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Last created unit)

This should set the position of each Unit into the Point array matching the player number. As in
1 - Position of Grim Reaper
2 - Position of Samurai
6 - Position of Ninja
7 - Position of Ancient of Stone

• Set Duel_Pos[Integer] = (Position of Hero_Array[Integer])

And this should pan the camera for every player to the position of their unit, because the camera pans to the point stored under each player's player number.

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Camera - Pan camera for (Picked player) to Duel_Pos[(Player number of (Picked player))] over 1.00 seconds

Will this work?

P.S. I've been giving +rep for all this help.

 

[Vosty]

Yeah that should work pretty well. Just use a loop to set the position's, or do it manually (More lines of code.)
I'm repping you for trying out my (Bad) instructions. Hope you learned something.
