[JASS] Help with SetUnitX

[BOESERTEDDY]

Hi all

Hm can anybody help me? I'm trying to use that function, to creat different things like a waterslide, or wind ect...
So I want that all units that enter a certain area are constantly moved to the right, but not interrupted in moving or channeling spells...
(I also tried to do it with other ways (bit more in jass) but never managed to get no error... and i also happened to delete those tries...(stupid me))

• WaterslideDo Kopieren
  • Event
    • Zeit - Every 0.04 seconds of game time
  • Condition
  • Action
    • Unitgroupe - Pick every unit in SlideWater and do (Actions)
      • Schleifen - Aktionen
        • Set TempProjectile = (Picked unit)
        • Set tempPoint[0] = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Set TempX = ((X of tempPoint[0]) + 15.00)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint[0])
        • Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_TempProjectile, udg_TempX)

If I try this, it says variablename expected (at the setunitx-function)
So does anybody know what's wrong with it, and how I could achieve my aim

Help would be really appreciated ;-D

Weird.

Anyways, you could simplify that and just put

• Custom script: call SetUnitX(GetEnumUnit(),GetUnitX(GetEnumUnit()) + 15)

How I HATE german WEs

SetUnitX is followed by the SetUnitY, unless you know what you're doing.

SetUnitX + SetUnitY = move unit to a point (with slightly different characteristics then SetUnitPosition)

So what you want to do is move unit by 15 every 0.04 seconds? That's easy:

• WaterslideDo Kopieren
• Event
  • Zeit - Every 0.04 seconds of game time
• Condition
• Action
  • Set Angle = <direction in which you want the unit to move>
  • Unitgroupe - Pick every unit in SlideWater and do (Actions)
    • Schleifen - Aktionen
      • Set TempProjectile = (Picked unit)
      • Set tempPoint[0] = (Position of (Picked unit))
      • Set TempX = ((X of tempPoint[0]) + 15.00 * Cosine of Angle)
      • Set TempY = ((Y of tempPoint[0]) + 15.00 * Sine of Angle)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint[0])
      • Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_TempProjectile, udg_TempX)
      • Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_TempProjectile, udg_TempY)

Something like that, I think..

EDIT: Pooty, you're dead

The problem, Silvenon, is that it isn't liking his var names.

 

[Silvenon]

Wtf????

You replied two seconds after i posted!

 

[PurplePoot]

2 minutes, silvenon =/

Anyways, what does that have to do with anything?

 

[BOESERTEDDY]

Thanks for fast and competent reply
After I added SetUnitY, it worked perfectly

So my water slide works now:

 

[Silvenon]

Pretty cool, nice job

2 minutes, silvenon =/

Well I'm confused, it was 2 secs to me.......maybe you went in bullet time or something

Anyways, what does that have to do with anything?

It doesn't, I was just fascinated......

Why does every trigger thread end up with two of us hijacking it??

I conquer it back
There are so many cool things you can do with setunitx/y :-D

Also suddenly appearing winds that push unwary units into deadly spikes :-D

That's fun for all arenas! Especially if you can stun other heroes or push them away with spells, so they get killed by the spikes

 

[PurplePoot]

Yes, SetUnitX/Y is just a better method of moving them.

(Though it has its own share of bugs...)

Hey! That's a cool idea, mind if I steal it?

 

[BOESERTEDDY]

Yes! Except if you pay me 5$ ;-D
No, just use it.
I always think it's stupid if people say "blah you stole this from that map".
I actually hate it
Because many times I have a good idea and add it in a map and then somebody comes and says exactly that sentence... And then I say that I don't even know that map... (well actually I don't even know dota... I played it once when it was first released XX years ago... and there was hardly anything special in it)

 

[HINDYhat]

Careful with SetUnitX/Y. If you set it to a coordinate that is outside of map bounds, your map will crash.

 

[BOESERTEDDY]

Yes, I know
But good that you say it, in case somebody reads this post and wants to use it too

 

[Silvenon]

Yes! Except if you pay me 5$ ;-D
No, just use it.

Thanks

Plus

and there was hardly anything special in it

Equals to: You rule man!

Lol, thanks for the little diamant!
Yeah, two rep points
