[JASS] I need a challenge

[Darkt3mpl3r]

replace projectiles with custom projectiles that can be manipulated by spells or shooting multiple projectile at once to one target ect..

of course not for every unit.

 

[Element of Water]

So basically a missile system firing on attack?

 

[dansaDisco]

Yes, I think that's what he meant.
And it would be quite cool actually, and very nice for "FPS" styled maps.

Like a shotgun, could have 5 bullets shooting out for example, but sometimes only 3 of them would hit if you know what I mean ^^

I made that for a speedmap awhile back, hit me up if you wanna look at it.

 

[I34w90_238j]

Missile system is a very good idea. For example, it would be some number of missiles being fired from a point, and angle between the missiles, maximum distance, their speed, model, sound and so on..

 

[Viikuna]

Missile system that perfectly replicates normal ranged attacks is pretty good idea. You just need some tools to get all that required data from MPQ, like missile art, missile arc, strarting z thingies and other stuff like that.

And this time you cant say that its not possible, because Tides of Blood guys did it already.

 

[Element of Water]

It's not impossible, but I can't be bothered doing it. Try doing it yourself using my missile system in the spells section.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

How do you get object editor data from the MPQ with jass!?

tutorial time plox

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

You cant with JASS (as far as I am aware)

You can do it externally however.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

What is viikuna saying about ToB then?

 

[Meticulous]

Randomly generated quests system, that gives you a number of tasks to do and a reward. For example: kill 40 murlocs and collect 5 kobold candles in 10 minutes, reward of a +3 dagger. Etc. I'm trying to do one with GUI, it's an uphill battle.


Edit: Also, randomly generated item stats.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

item stats would be nice for a diablo kind of game, but it's sorta difficult to do..

 

[Element of Water]

Randomly generated item stats are possible and quite easy. The problem is, you can't change the tooltips.

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

a REAL ball bounce system for wc3 (with height and stuff) would be kinda hard to do but it was done allready...

I think a robot which consists of many other units would be cool (with movement and so on) but there was some spell somewhere which was nearly like that (called sandman or something [probably @ thehelper] )

maybe you could just do some circuit simulation with capacitors, transistors, lamps and power sources (with lightning effects as cables )
that would be a chalange but kinda useless for anyone (except minigames maybe)

edit:
I forgot to mention magnetism stuff (induktion, generators, magnets, etc)

edit2:
and another idea
boxes falling down from the sky and landing on each other (I'd make them with lightnings because it is hard to rotate units [not impossible though] )

 

[Element of Water]

Robot would be cool, yes, but like I said, I don't have any clue about the maths behind it.

Circuit simulation - cool idea, but like you said, probably not too useful.

Magnetism - I'm not good enough at physics to make realistic magnetism.

Boxes made of lightning look crap. And you can't rotate units right - you can't roll them, and you need a dummy model to tilt them.

 

[Eleandor]

Robot would be cool, yes, but like I said, I don't have any clue about the maths behind it.

Not a fucking reason man. Challenges are there to "learn" something and raise yourself to the next level. One time you say a challenge is too easy, but when a challenge is forcing you to learn something new you consider it to be too *hard*...
How exactly do you define *challenge*?

 

[Element of Water]

Ok, then. Teach me about 3D animation WITH CODE. It just seems time-consuming and pointless. A system like that is not for wc3.

Anyway, like I said, I'm bored with this thread now. Just end it.

 

[Eleandor]

Hey, don't do it if you don't want to. But saying you don't know how to do something is only a reason to learn it, rather than giving up.

 

[I34w90_238j]

I've, for example, learned many things to do, while brainstorming them for my map both on piece of paper and in trigger editor manually. I'd have learnt nothing if I didn't invent what I've never done before.

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

r u going to do the projectile system or not ?

 

[I34w90_238j]

r u going to do the projectile system or not ?

He said he doesn't need a challenge anymore.

 

[Just_Spectating]

has he even done one?

 

[Vulcano]

He made a missile system which is rated 5/5 by both mods and normal users: Missile System

 

[Just_Spectating]

ah was that because of this thread?

 

[Vulcano]

i think so

 

[M_Vegeta]

i got a challenge make a system that allow for only 1 player to see effect certain things much as exemple Gen-Jutsu (illusion) or unit or an ai system to do a map like GTA ^^

but does it really need to get element of water , as i saw as subject cuz those idea would be real challenge for vjasser ^^

 

[Element of Water]

ah was that because of this thread?

No. I made that before this thread started.

 

[Just_Spectating]

then what challenge have you done

 

[Element of Water]

I made that "get building unit" thing, and I made a herd system like AoE3.

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

hAHAHAHAHAHAHAH this thread is still going on ROFLMAO OWNED WATER!

 

[Element of Water]

That's nice.

 

[I34w90_238j]

So, Element of Water, do you want this thread to end? If no, then maybe you should make a system which allows a unit to see only in front of it. I mean, that a unit can see only terrain & units that are not behind him.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

I did it with a stack referencing fogmodifiers. But there's a problem with being able to "see" through trees this way.

We talked about it for awhile and concluded that a semicircle of pathing blockers (units/destructibles/items?) would work better.

 

[Element of Water]

Can't you just use sight blockers? It seems a bit easy. Every 0.04 seconds, move a load of sight blockers into a circle behind the unit.

And yeah, I want it stop, really.
