Hero Selection Window v1.0

[Moderator]

21:51, 2nd Dec 2012
Magtheridon96: Since I approved this months ago and then rejected it for not having proper Credits in it, I guess it can be approved once more :V

But seriously, if you want to make something innovative, as soon as a Window system is available (A proper, usable version of DGUI), I encourage you to update this to use that.

~Reserved
I uploaded this again because Mag told me too

 

[Nestharus]

Not another one...

not to mention that this, just like all of the others, isn't modular.

 

[Almia]

Uhhm,as you cant see,it is different from kobas because it is much easier to configure than his.

 

[Nestharus]

no, it's just like all the others in not being modular

edit
we should seriously have a ban on these until someone makes a window system

 

[gorillabull]

a good module for these types of systems would be something that automatically creates all the destructables and assigns their values, but what is a window system?

 

[Almia]

Window System
just like that,is one of the most (currently impossible) complex system idea.
The original window system would be using images instead of destructables and makes the window follow the camera whereever it goes.
Window system has a scrolls(like websites) and doesnt not use trackables.

Also this system i made is approved months ago,but rejected because of not giving the right credits,that's why i reupload it.

 

[Adiktuz]

just wanna ask, how easy it is to add things to the UI? Like adding buttons for the ability list too (like the existing buttons for the stats)...

 

[Almia]

Copy paste destructables then replace skin
But the bad thing is that it increase the number of doodads(only in object editor)

 

[Adiktuz]

I see... then just the same as the other FS systems...

Pretty neat system btw...

PS: Is it possible to make this work the same way as shadow's inventory system which doesn't need any reserved space on the map?

 

[doomhammer99]

Yay, I'm in the Credit Log

 

[shadowvzs]

look cool the design

just a question, why dont disable the periodic trigger when dont needed? i talk about "HSS Camera" trigger.


few personal opinion:
- without (unholy) aura maybe look better the button units, exclude the selector aura, that really nice ideea
- units scale, few of them is too tall or dwarf hammer sometimes out from window, why dont use a bit smaller unit scale?
- default selected hero could be somebody else the unholy aura where is normally the hero icon what selected, is a bit weird
- write into description it is MPI or SPI
(overall i cant say nothing bad about system)

 

[Orcnet]

what the hell Radamantus why u upload bad-ass system is it because you now have many women?

good job by the way

 

[meowie]

Wow... why 1 hero selection menu when you can code it all at just one menu. one menu per player is ridiculous and inefficient of space for the terrain. Just use player numbers to indicate the selection to all variable is way better. you know it don't you..

I cant disable the loop because there are no booleans if the player group is empty or not.

I see... then just the same as the other FS systems...

LoL thank You

GetLocalPlayer doesnt work on units that's why

 

[shadowvzs]

GetLocalPlayer work well with vertex color and to another answer, dont need boolean for that

 

[Wolf_Wing]

its pretty good idea but how do i change hero icon?

 

[Almia]

go to the destructables,copy and paste a sample icon,go to its datas,change replaceables/textures files w/ the one you want.open the map editor.remove icon on the desired location.

 

[Wolf_Wing]

I never thought

that right if u want show to every player the selection, so player 1 click to somebody that see like selected the player 2 too.....

so this make complication and dont solve a simple array but can solve if he ise getlocalplayer with vertexcolor alpha (transparent unit), then if he use special effect for selection and he add path with getlocalplayer, then also the floating text string must be with getlocalplayer (or what better, create locally the floating text)

so lets check overall:

unit array [player number 1-12] - selected hero (visible only to local player who must be same than triggering player)
special effect array[1-12] or another unit array - with localplayer path setting or if unit then vertex color but special effect better
floating text array[1-12] same way than special effect
could be use a player array/or integer array with player number also if he use +1 integer then could be easily turned on/off the camera settings

if we talk how to hide the interface, if somebody predefine to variable the use doodas and units the with ifgetlocalplayer hide/show destructible and for units the vertex color and add locust to unit could solve it easily

I would use this over your 2 useless systems all day!

nice work. Looks similar to RoW

 

[Almia]

So far,many maps like RoW,OaD2 and HAVOC uses this kinds of systems.
But they use trackables.

 

[-Kobas-]

Oh god >.>
Be original

 

[Almia]

LoL,i am.
My System is quicker and doesnt use any If/block when selecting an icon than yours.
And i use hashtables and encapsulation/

 

[RakEnRoL]

He really meant was the originality came from the very concept of the system which is very similar to yours. They do have different codes but yet I don't see anything in features. But for efficient use, of course, one person will choose one of your systems as self preference by their liking.

 

[Spoontoobig]

This is fantastic!

 

[Maker]

I was able to get 3 heroes by clicking random.

 

[Almia]

really?
or maybe you clicked it so fast

 

[Maker]

Yeah, I clicked rapidly.

 

[Almia]

Well,i cannot fix that.

 

[-Kobas-]

Actually you can...
Create boolean variable for 1 hero pick, or just go with integer.
When you create hero set variable to true or increase integer, then to checking.
It should work.

I had same problem, fixed it that way.

 

[Almia]

Thanks,ill try it

 

[VeLiN9]

can only 1 hero be chosen/randomed now ???

and can u use this for more than 40-50 heroes?

Yes.

 

[Almia]

You can.But you have to code for the configuration and you to work for the window

 

[Sir_Astral]

I tried to add this to my campaign Your destructibles replaced all of my native ones and bugged up everything pretty much, i was looking for hours to see find and fix all of stairs bridges ramps and platforms. Now i just hope that everything is okay, since i had troubles with your system i will give you reputation.

 

[Almia]

^ Tnx for the appreciation of my system

 

[shadowvzs]

But seriously, if you want to make something innovative, as soon as a Window system is available (A proper, usable version of DGUI), I encourage you to update this to use that.

if u meant to Custom Window by maker, that arent dgui, even if somebody vjasser then in dgui too exist working backpack maps etc, in this way we cant do nothing really new

 

[Almia]

We don't want Custom Window,we are waiting for DGUI.

Magtheridon96, we can't wait to see yours

 

[shadowvzs]

but dhui aint new too, i wc3net that also was posted

 

[Almia]

DGUI is a trash dude.

We want something far more advanced than this trashy system

 

[shadowvzs]

i could agree if u can do something better or atleast something like that system

 

[Almia]

Magtheridon96 is making one.
He wants me to continue it but i refused,due to my lacking vJASS skills

 

[shadowvzs]

if u lacking vjass skill then from where u know it is trash what i posted? thats what i dont understand when someone blame a map what cant do it because no skill for it...

somehow i dont see why this trashy lol

 

[Almia]

Not so lacking because of his skill.
That system is trashy because it doesn't support the player's camera(not camera-friendly,because it locks the camera on a certain place).He uses his own libraries even though there are much better.

because if camera doesnt lock then its alot more calculation even that before u mention about libraries i must notice this is

http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=104931 from 2009 -> "just" 4 year ago but even that if camera locked to unit still work damn smoothly and eye candy also not slow

 

[Almia]

DGUI must allow camera-friendly.We hate this "lock the camera and drag me to the whatnot space where a window of whatever awaits"


and did you say "Eye-Candy"? Humans prefer 75% of the code's eye candy than its function.Dumb people would say "Table is a garbage" but look what awesomeness it did to us. Its like looking into a beautiful woman with very bad attitude than an ugly woman with very beautiful attitude

@last off
like theory it is right/true but in this world i got difference experience about beautiful vs ugly womans, similair about maps, a player dont look the codes since map is protected anyway

 

[Almia]

Its not the code we are talking about.Its about its function or job which we have to recognize
