How to make a spiral?

[GangSpear]

What do he mean of the EndPoint and StartPoint?(StartPoint is Target area being casted?)

I can't make the wheels shape.
+rep for those help me.

The polar coordinates of the two points between which the diameters are built are these:
Center = center of the circle. Distance = radius of the circle.
Angle = k*a and 180+k*a. a=360/2n.; k=1,(n-1); n=total number of diameters.

Daeling wants to calculate Distance = Radius (r), thats why he needs start and end point.

Its basic maths, making an spiral. Starpoint and endpoint I think is just a integer variable...which he sets

• Set StartPoint = (StartPoint offset by 400.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x (360.00 / 20.00)) degrees)

to find out the distance.

 

[GangSpear]

Confused,my maths not good,i set the Endpoint to what?
EDIT: I didn't set the endpoint,then the whole map has footmans O_O
EDIT 2: +rep for reply.(Spinnaker,maybe later,i can't add rep to you.)

 

[x3GlikE]

endpoint I dont see no endpoint.

 

[GangSpear]

endpoint I dont see no endpoint.

So you know how can i set the endpoint to make it like a wheel?

 

[Bannar]

Yeah there is a little mistake probably:

• Set StartPoint = (StartPoint offset by 400.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x (360.00 / 20.00)) degrees)
• Set StartPoint = (StartPoint offset by 400.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x (180.00 + (360.00 / 20.00))) degrees)

Since at first he sets the StartPoint, and then creates another one on the opposite side since '(180.00 + (360.00 / 20.00))' means exactly opposite side for given angle (360.00 / 20.00).

Meaby I'm wrong, but shouldnt that be like this?

• Set StartPoint = (StartPoint offset by 400.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x (360.00 / 20.00)) degrees)
• Set EndPoint = (StartPoint offset by 400.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x (180.00 + (360.00 / 20.00))) degrees)

Here: distance between those 2 points is diameter, while distance between them / 2 = radius.

It doesn't work also(Holy shit,after i changed it turn into more suck.)
EDIT: I also working at the wheel turning,but it won't turn.

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • For each (Integer B) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Lightning_Dummy for (Owner of LC_Caster[LC_IndexLoop]) at (LC_TargetPoint[LC_IndexLoop] offset by (100.00 + (8.00 x (Real((Integer A))))) towards (((360.00 / 3.00) x (Real((Integer B)))) + (6.00 x (Real((Integer A))))) degrees) facing LC_TargetPoint[LC_IndexLoop]
        • Unit - Add a 0.01 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

it cause lag -.-
LC_TargetPoint is the target point of ability being casted.

 

[Bannar]

Ye it lags, cause you didn't remove location leaks. Use:

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_your location)

 

[GangSpear]

So,how can i create a wheel shape spell and turn?

 

[GangSpear]

Bump!?
EDIT:
What do Daelin mean of the EndPoint?
i want to create a line,and wheels.
Creating a Line
and
Advanced Circle turning
How can i turn the wheels? O_O
+REP to those help me

 

[Pharaoh_]

StartPoint is where the line will start from (meaning the loop) towards the point it will end (EndPoint). If you want to create a line between the caster and a target unit, the StartPoint is the position of the caster and the EndPoint is the position of the target.

I don't get what you need with the circle turning part.

 

[GangSpear]

The circle turning part,how can i create the circle?
And what should i set the EndPoint into?
also,how can i turn around the circle?

Merged your threads. Why did you double post to ask the exact same thing?

Sorry about that,i didn't saw the thread,i will edit it now.

 

[Bribe]

I've already merged them you don't have to do anything.

This should do the trick...

Holy,i new of jass(Don't know jass LOL!)
Can give the trigger?...

 

[mckill2009]

this is the trigger...make a trigger then convert to custom text then copy the entire code to your trigger...

make a spell based on NO TARGET such as 'AEfk' (fan of knives) and make a dummy unit and replace the raw code 'h000' with your own raw code...raw codes can be vied by pressing CTRL+D...

 

[GangSpear]

HOly shit,you convert it to custom text,i don't know what it write about.
Can i convert it back into the triggers?

 

[mckill2009]

you dont need to write anything, just convert to custom text via EDIT >>> CONVERT..., copy the code I posted then paste/overwrite ALL text in the custom text...

you cannot convert this into GUI trigger...

 

[GangSpear]

i must use JNPG to copy? O_O
EDIT: ALL ERROR wTF!

 

[mckill2009]

oh yes use JNGP to make it work coz its vJass not jass...

 

[GangSpear]

holy shit,all error also,need variables ?
EDIT: Learning Jass,but i don't know how to use jass because need space how many time and type words inside it.

 

[mckill2009]

no variables needed coz its vJASS, just paste the code, else give me the map...
