[sobeg51]

Title says it all.. I want to make the region 000 port you to region 001 via CAVES

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters Rect 000 <gen>
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set temppoint = Center of Rect 001 <gen>
  • Unit - Move (Triggering Unit) instantly to temppoint
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

Where can i find the setemp point - 001 .. 1st part in the action

EDIT:
.bump =/ last post was helpful but i have no idea where to find set tempoint = center of rect 001

 

[Squiggy]

1. Don't bump within of 48 hours.
2. Create a variable - name it somewhat you like and set it's type to Point

 

[sobeg51]

ok, i made the variable, where do i go about after that? +++Rep if you can help me man.. Im way confused

 

[Squiggy]

Unit -> Move unit (instantly)
Now choose as target your variable.
After, paste the custom script I've prepared into your triggers et voilà

Besides - unless you posess more than 10 rep yourself, it doesn't count

 

[sobeg51]

lol.

EDIT1:
It says.. error - line 499 (exspected a name) how do i resolve

EDIT2:
Oh.. it says Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

what am i suppost to type? i copy / pasted what you types

 

[Squiggy]

Well you have to align the variables' name to the location you're referring to by using the custom scipt; means the variable and the stuff behind the udg_ have to share the same name

Or you could use some kind of dummy invisible gateway, with target set on the other cave.
If it's invisible (or better without a unit model), player's can't activate it manually, but units will still use it automatically, if it's the shortest way.
EDIT: It works, you just need to remove the teleportation effect.

This is a trigger I use to teleport units:

• King Portal
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters King Portal <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Random point in Portal 1 <gen>)
    • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to (Center of Portal 1 <gen>) over 0.20 seconds

King Portal is the region they're teleported from and Portal 1 is the region they're teleported to. I have seperate portals for each team so there are some conditions here you may not need. Instead of "Random point in Portal 1" you could just do the "Center of Portal 1" to make them come out in a more specific area. As for it going from cave to cave, I don't see why it would matter. Just keep resizing and repositioning your regions until it looks and works right to you.

Just as a quick sidenote, if you're going to use caves as teleporters, you should make it clear to the player. A lot of mapmakers just make caves benign doodads, so make sure to display a floating text with a hint when they come within range of the cave... Or use a little doodad like "Invulnerability Field" (Dalaran Ruins - Cinematic) outside of it to indicate it's special.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters Rect 000 <gen>
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set temppoint = Center of Rect 001 <gen>
  • Unit - Move (Triggering Unit) instantly to temppoint
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

Just a question about this trigger.
Why do you use the temppoint instead of just saying

Unit - Move(triggering Unit) instantly to center of Recht 001

??
Plz tell me...

 

[Epimeliad]

he used temppoint as he is able to remove it after hence there isnt any leaks

 

[M0RT]

You all seem to ignore my post about Way gates... it doesn't require triggers and the passage will be included for pathfinding, so the players don't need to click somwhere inside the cave, just to some spot outside the other cave

 

[Need_O2]

Set Location and remove lcoation each time is stupid
just set locations in map initializing and use em for moving

 

[AirHead]

here open this in the WE and look at the triggers and locations.

 

[iown_azz]

Ok all you have to do is this, it is in jass code though

function Trig_Region_1_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'Edem' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Region_1_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetUnitPositionLoc( GetTriggerUnit(), GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Region_001) )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Region_1 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Region_1 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple( gg_trg_Region_1, gg_rct_Region_000 )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Region_1, Condition( function Trig_Region_1_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Region_1, function Trig_Region_1_Actions )
endfunction

but u have to name ur trigger to Region 1

 

[Shendoo2]

you guys are making it alot harder than it is.....

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters (Your Region)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (a different region)

You'll need 4 regions so you wont tele back and fourth nonstop.

 

[darkrider]

guys... moving units from one point to another leaks information (read this plz http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f269/things-leak-35124/ )

and what O2 said is "create a variable with those points at the beginning of the game and use them always, do not delete them". By doing that, it wont leak and you dont have to use 3 lines of code... with only 1 is ok (and the lines that set those points at the beginning)

shendoo2: you are doing it wrong... that leaks... you should read what i linked to

Airhead: your map moves units from one cave to another in an infinit loop... what laggs the heck of a computer and makes it almost impossible to close :/

Oh!... btw squiggy you made a small mistake (srry cor correcting i know that might only be the name of the region)... in gui there are only regions, not rects like in jass, i say this coz the guy might be getting mad trying to find a rect

what airhead did is correct, but make it only to go ... not to come back

Or give the way gate the circle of power model and rename it "Cave entrance".
then put them in front of the Cave. Everyone will get the idea.
