How to make the projectiles go straight ahead?

[Chewii]

How can i make the projectiles of the ranged unit just go straight ahead?

If you have played diablo II you know what i mean. For thoose who doesn't i will try to explain harder.

When a unit fires an arrow against the enemy, the arrow will always hit, if the enemy doesn't got evasion. But it will always go towards the target. Like searching to the target.
But i want it like in IRL. When you fires an arrow it will just go straight forward. And if the enemy moves away from the arrow it wont come after just go straight ahead and miss.

Could someone show me how to do this?

Thank you very much!

Regards Chewii

Take a look at a projectile system.
Jass - GUI

Basically you have to create, move, and destroy the projectile via triggers.

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

you can do this with the object editor
just disable "target searching" or something like that
for meele attacks there is some kind of attack range buffer
don't know how it works for ranged unit but it might work, too
(or something else will)
edit:
missile has auto homing on default
artilery is what you are looking for
(you will have to find some way to remove the attack ground button though (probably by importing some script into the mpq; the button is very hardcored, it even pushes away the hero lvl button ))

of course projectile systems are more flexible but harder to implent

sorry if I got you wrong
did not play diablo for long because of the graphics (yeah, I will burn in hell because of that but so I will see it in high res

hmmm go to the unit you want in the object editor, scroll down intill you find Combat - attack 1 (or 2 if u want also) - project homing enabled and untick it

If the thing with Object editor wont work, then I will use the links thanks!

I can't find the ''target searching'' Can you tell me exactly where?

ehm.. This doesn't work. Like the archer already got it false from the beginning.

Using a projectile system is the only way. Depending on the system you'll also have the ability to slow down unit's projectiles, and overall have more control over them.

A map that used to be played a long time ago (The Battle of Troy) had archers that could fire an incredible distance. The visual problem was that while the arrows would appear to miss a moving target the damage was still dealt to the unit.

some where in the game constance you can set the miss damage default is set to 0.5 i think

Thank you guys very much for trying to help me. I found one interesting system. exactly what i needed. But i just can't make it to work if im making a new trigger exactly copy of the other ones just changed attacking unit to archer.

BTW: The prob is that the projectiles doesn't deal any dmg..

Here's the system http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...prev=search=projectile&d=list&r=20&c=114&t=65

And here's my trigger:

have you initialized everything?..and did you insert the vJASS too?..
+ globals, hashtable, etc.

 

[Chewii]

I did the trigger thing in the same map.

 

[GhostThruster]

I don't understand...NFWar's is way better, AND in GUI(holy shit...ake mushrooms).

I've posted the system and trigger up there.
It doesn't have to be GUI jass works too. But as far as i can see there's only 1 jass system. And that's not what i want.

 

[Gekigengar]

well, Ghost Thruster, he wanted it for Diablo 2 map, but in D2, the missile goes straight, instead of Arching, so it fits perfectly (No Parabola), going straight, missile destroyed when hitting terrain, building, ground, destructibles,etc.
