Help with Parabola movement.

[real138]

Hi everyone at hive. And before i start Merry Christmas.
well today i started learning about how to use a parabola in Wc3. ive gotten the triggering of it down almost but the problem is when im in game it only works once per unit. i have no idea why it does this. I have been trying to 2 fix it for hours now but with no luck. if someone could check my triggers would be greatly appreciated.

first of all you use a specified unit, atleast set it into a variable first looks better

the angle can create threw points instead of the facing of the "boss" unit as it might bug (dunno why, just rumors about facings being not accurate enough)

you never move the unit ...

• Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by P_Speed towards P_Angle degrees)

it is moveed to the same spot ...

and also you should clearchild hashtables when there are no instances left to run

 

[real138]

ah i completely forgot about the child hashtables but yes it does move. offset by p_speed which is 25 towards the facing angle which lets say is 45 degrees. so yes it does move. the unit moves always just that the unit only rises the first time.
so first time its a parabola movement second time its a knockback.

 

[baassee]

was the child the problem?

else you can always use this

Best Jump System EVA!

ha im trying it but when i go to the function clear child hashtables i go to key of but then i cant select picked unit when before i always could... @_@. really weird.
EDIT: nvm it works now it was JNGP fail with hashtables yet again. testing now..
EDIT2: nope only works once still :/ i fixed everything you said.
EDIT3: Alas i cannot lol its for a contest.
EDIT4: GOT IT. i wasnt resetting the current height for the units so it wouldnt run now it works perfectly now. now i gotta remove leaks. yay ty basse

 

[baassee]

so simple problem and I couldnt see it gaaarrhh ...

JNGP fails with hashtables :/

happy holidays

 

[real138]

ha ya i cant believe i couldnt catch it well its always those little things that catch me off guard. now to perfect the movement make it go according to real life speed faster at beginning and end.

real138 why not just use this Parabola function??

Its much easier ^^ anyway happy holiday & merry christmas

 

[real138]

lol catch_ya i do use it im just adding extra features to it. happy holidays.
