Hero Detector Ping

[Gekigengar]

can anybody help me with this system?...
i am using this system for my map.

so...

you got 1 hero,

if some hero from enemy team came in range of 1300 of your hero,

you will be pinged of its position (Warning Ping style) for 2 seconds. and for all your friendly team mates.

Then, a sound will be played for you, and your allies. (i got the sound.)

invisible unit will not be pinged in your minimap when it comes in range.

is that understand able?

 

[x3GlikE]

Its easy just use variables:
Firstly - Set the heros
Than - do When a unit enters 1300 range of unit
lastly - if entering unit equal to a hero ping if entering unit has buff wind walk to nothing.
I may make an test map if you want me to.

 

[Gekigengar]

okay, make a test map for me ,maybe your version is better, the only prob i got is actually playing the sound to only "Friendly Team mates", i made the rest already...

• HeroDetector Init
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to HeroDetector Function <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 1300.00 of (Triggering unit))

• HeroDetector Init 2
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.50 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to HeroDetector Function <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 1300.00 of (Picked unit))

• HeroDetector Function
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        • ((Triggering unit) is alive) Equal to True
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Invisibility) Equal to False
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Invisibility (Extra)) Equal to False
        • ((Triggering unit) is an illusion) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All enemies of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) for 2.50 seconds, using a Warning ping of color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%)
        • Custom script: if GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) == GetLocalPlayer() then
        • Sound - Play HeroDetectSensor <gen>
        • Custom script: endif
      • Else - Actions

well, the sound plays, even if the unit is an ally(incoming unit),how do i make it only enemy units?. and i haven't test it out on what is going on with the enemy side, so, if there is problem within my triggers, please fix, i want the sound to only play and pings,if enemy unit comes within range, for all allies.

 

[x3GlikE]

You know when you play the sound? It plays it to everyone maybe if you attach the sound to the unit that triggering/entering

Note.
To make it enemy units you do it as a condition

• ((Entering Unit))Unit Belongs to an enemy of ((Triggering uni)) Equal to ture

 

[defskull]

You can add this Condition to set the ping ONLY refer to the enemy unit

• ((Triggering unit) belongs to an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True

 

[x3GlikE]

aww defskull YOU WROTE IT BEFORE ME HMTF

 

[defskull]

Haha what is HMTF btw?
I'm not looking for a competition, I'm just trying to help others, and increase my GUI knowledge, that's all ;D
You can pour your idea too, if you want
But if your idea as EXACTLY same as mine, haha I win~

 

[x3GlikE]

rofl dw i posted first means i won
Note.
Me 2 i am not looking for competition

 

[Gekigengar]

umm, so you can use Entering unit for Reffering to Unit in range? lol,, i just knew that, Thx!! +REP for both

EDIT : OMG...IT doesn't work...entering unit does not refer to the unit in range!! D: D: D: ...
To refer for unit in range, we should use "Triggering unit".. and i can't seem to Solve this, on how to refer to the unit which is the main cause of the event...

Unit is within 1300 range of "Unit X"

i don't know how to refer to that unit x, if i could...i could easily solve this...

 

[x3GlikE]

rofl hey if you have time let me test your map out

 

[Gekigengar]

lol, can you help me again..?...

entering unit does not work...see my Edit

 

[x3GlikE]

Hmm i gotta test it so i can find out bugs and all could you copy/paste code into a new map and upload it somewhere so i can test it my self

Note.
Try use Triggering unit

 

[Gekigengar]

yeah, i use triggering unit, but it only refer to the unit coming in range...

i want something that can refer to the unit that works as the center of the Unit in range event.

and as i say, i want it to somehow only work if the Allied heroes is the one coming in range. (the sound)

the only problem to fix is actually the Custom script, if i could somehow make it play the sound for enemies of triggering unit.

 

[x3GlikE]

I got it do this

• ((Entering) belongs to an enemy of ((Triggering unit)) Equal to false

Should work but than you gotta change your codes so that false>true if you get what i mean

 

[defskull]

If you need a test map, I can do it for you..
But I'm gonna be off for awhile, so I give my responsibility to Glike ;D
Do it !

 

[Gekigengar]

well, is the test map ready?,or can you help me? D:

 

[Pharaoh_]

Alright, done.
It works like this:
You pick up the Battle Standard item and it pings the minimap, whenever a hero is within 1300 range. If you leave that hero's range after 1400 (so that the system won't collapse or collide with the 1300 value) distance, that hero can be detected again. Dropping the item will stop the effect. I just didn't know how you wanted to initialize the effect, so I used an item for it.

 

[Gekigengar]

why is this...somehow becoming so complex ? lol...

does the sound play only for the allies?

i am happy that you helped me, thx a lot +REP

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yeah, I have certain conditions that define the allies of the owner of the hero(-bearer of the item). I use IntegerA as an index, so as to prevent the creation of player groups. :]

 

[Gekigengar]

and, i just need to add the condition of "unit is invisible for "X player (Enemies)"" = False

at the detection to disable it from detecting invisible unit isn't it?

 

[Pharaoh_]

No, I already used the boolean comparison "Is Unit Visible".

 

[Gekigengar]

Great, lol,

i will try importing it, if i got a prob, i will pm ...

EDIT : I found the prob, thx

 

[Pharaoh_]

Send me the map, if it's not a big deal to you.

 

[Gekigengar]

well, i found the prob , its pretty simple. thx.

 

[graystuff111]

I think it would be much better to use a periodic event, and check the distances between the hero's. I can write the code, if you want.
Edit: GUI or jass works for me

 

[Gekigengar]

he prevented the creation of playergroup, to evade possible leaks from groups that is undestroyable, that is why he created this, and yeah, i came of the idea of using periodic event too, somehow leak is more possible with player group, so, i will stick with Pharaoh, thx for the support!

 

[x3GlikE]

Yeah true use a periodic event would be better!

 

[defskull]

Mr Egypt is MY IDOL !

 

[Gekigengar]

lol mr egypt xD... thx for you guy's concern

but mr egypt's works just fine.. so i will use his.
