Hero Skill Grid

[Shados]

I've found this very useful as I can never remember what all the Button Position - X and Y stuff was meant to be, it's a grid of all the Command Buttons:

0 1 2 3
________
M S A H | 0
P X X + | 1
K K K U | 2

M = Move
S = Stop
A = Attack
H = Hold Position
P = Patrol
X = Empty Slot
+ = Learn Hero Skills
K = Hero Skill
U = Hero Ultimate

Hope it helps you guys as much as it has me!

that is very helpful, thanks

 

[Shados]

no problem, I'm only starting to remember what the X-Y grid is NOW, after maybe 2-3 years of mapping lol.

You happen to know the colour scheme? That is something I never figured out. I think it is in hexidecimal but I am not certain.

 

[Shados]

Yeah I know the colour scheme, and yes it's in hex, I was thinking of posting it anyway.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

aww man hex sucks, i have to learn it for electronics but i dont like it. binary coded decimal is so much easier.

 

[Shados]

wth, why have my posts been moved to tutorial submission? I don't quite think they're tutorials lol.

I've planned to improve it a bit, and soon make the tutorials section to more like a knowledge section

You do know that converting from hex to binary and vice versa is easier than converting either to decimel, right? I freaking love converting those two, I dislike decimel tho as it makes you think a whole lot more. Binary and hex are a hell of a lot easier and faster and, generally, more accurate.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

well its more the fact i have to learn how to read hex as decimal, so i see 7F as 127 and, whats worse, is i have to read 48 as 72...now that is very confusing. and i gotta read it like that, not work it out, just know it..

well ok then.

Hmmm..I don't really understand...Could you clarify what you are talking about here because I'm kinda lost. Is this hotkeys or commands, to be implemented in JASS, or what?

 

[Shados]

Bwahahahah! Hell no, my speciality is Object Data, and this is for placeing the ability buttons in the right place. Goto Object Editor->Abilities and choose an ability, now see how there's the field 'Art - Button Position - Normal/Research/Turn Off (X/Y)

The grid works with these fields, obviously unit abilities don't require the Research ones, and only abilities that can be turned off/auto-cast require the Turn Off ones (i.e. Avatar, Heal).[/colour]

Would be nice if there was an explanation given for this tutorial being graveyarded, as it has shown itself to be useful to people, short or not.

I dunno who moved this to here, but try read the tutorial submitting rules and guidelines...

 

[Shados]

...Yeah? It follows all the rules, and it also happened to be previously approved.

-*meow*

 

[Archian]

Things have changed.

I could imagine that this thread had been moved to the graveyard because of this:

The tutorial must include plenty of content. A tutorial only existing of a few lines is not acceptable.

Might have been other reasons aswell.. dunno...

 

[Shados]

Refusing a tutorial that has been shown to have been of use to people simply because it is small seems rather irrational, a long tutorial isn't neccesarily good, and a short one isn't implicitly bad.
