[Trigger] Is this posible?

mario_64 · Jun 10, 2008

Well what I just want to know if this is posible and if I would required Jass to get it working correctly.

What I want is you have a spell book with abillities inside in this case we will use Frost Nova as an example when you click in the abillity inside of the spell book it will apear in your regular spell bar where the attack and defend commands are at hope I explained myself better.

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

Hmmm, what do you mean?

Ohh, so that it cancels.

I can think of a couple of ways to do it.

Will post triggs in one sec.

They might not work.

Spell Book
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - Or - Any (Conditions) are true
    - Conditions
      - (Ability being cast) Equal to Spell Book 1
      - (Ability being cast) Equal to Spell Book 2
      - (Ability being cast) Equal to Spell Book 3
      - (Ability being cast) Equal to Spell Book 4
- Actions
  - Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

or

Spell Book

      - (Ability being cast) Equal to Spell Book 4
- Actions
  - Set TempPoint1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  - Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To TempPoint1
  - Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)

Spell book 1,2,3 and four are the abilities in your spell book.

What he wants is to be able to close the spell book menu when a skill from it is cast.

GhostWolf your not nice at all but I'll explain my self better. What I want is you have a spell book with abillities inside in this case we will use Frost Nova as an example when you click in the abillity inside of the spell book it will apear in your regular spell bar where the attack and defend commands are at hope I explained myself better.

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

Ohhh,

That is trickier.

You may have to use JASS.

I'm not really sure but it sounds like you have to modify gameplay interface. Perhaps not. Perhaps yes.

Sorry for the miss post.

I'm not nice because too many people ask questions this way "oh lul plieze help me to mak a str fooling spellz :grin:

".

Anyway, you need for this two abilities, one for the spell book and one for the command panel.
When a unit starts to cast an ability, if it is an ability in the spell book (make it instant cast of course) you simply add the one out side and do whatever you want with the one inside.

You might want to read this nice tutorial about spell books.

Afterlife Avenger · Jun 10, 2008

Yes it is possible.

KEY: frostnova_SPELLBOOK - The spell you cast in the spellbook (Needs to be a spell like warstomp that when you cast it it casts without asking for a target or a target point so you can click it and cast it)

frostnova_INACTIONBAR - The spell that is added to your infocard when you cast it in the spellbook

example
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to frostnova_SPELLBOOK
  - (Level of frostnova_INACTIONBAR for (Casting unit)) Equal to 0
- Actions
  - Unit - Add frostnova_INACTIONBAR to (Casting unit)

mario_64 · Jun 10, 2008

Ok i got an idea and i'll test when I get home. Thanks

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

Nice. . .

But it does not replace the attack button. That was where I was stuck.

DOUBLE POST!!

mario_64 · Jun 10, 2008

No its not supposed to replace the button I guess I explained my self wrong and im sorry this is just what I was looking for. Thanks again.

Afterlife Avenger · Jun 10, 2008

you cant replace the attack button if the unit still has an attack

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

Ahhh, I thought that the goal was to replace the attack with frost nova.

Afterlife Avenger · Jun 10, 2008

Well you cant replace it but you can modify it to do this

Untitled Trigger 001
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
- Conditions
  - (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
  - (Level of frostnova_INACTIONBAR for (Ordered unit)) Greater than 0
- Actions
  - Unit - Order (Ordered unit) to Undead Lich - Frost Nova (Target unit of issued order)

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

Yes. . .

That I know. YOur trig leaks though.

Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
Conditions
(Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
(Level of frostnova_INACTIONBAR for (Ordered unit)) Greater than 0
Actions
Set TempPoint = Location(of target unit of issued order.
Unit - Order (Ordered unit) to Undead Lich - Frost Nova (TempPoint)
Call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

This is not perfect just a mod of yours.

Afterlife Avenger · Jun 10, 2008

you cant cast a target spell on a point

Ok please start actually looking at a comment BEFORE commenting on it. You are making this stupid mistakes over and over again and it is annoying.

Bobo_The_Kodo · Jun 10, 2008

He wants it so when you click an ability in the spellbook, it adds that spell to your main command card.. Kinda like learning abilities with a hero.

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

. . .

I know.

It was irrelevant to this thread but I thought that it might help the new guy (avenger) with his triggering.

Bobo_The_Kodo · Jun 10, 2008

I was referring to that, telling the people what the person wants with this thread understandably.

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

Why not just make it so that you learn them like normal hero skills?

Bobo_The_Kodo · Jun 10, 2008

Maybe because he adds a spellbook at a later point in the game?

For an RPG where you learn a profession or w/e

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

Good point. Thanks.

Bobo_The_Kodo · Jun 10, 2008

Anyways, just add the ability to the unit.

Custom Script - call UnitAddAbility( GetTriggerUnit(), GetSpellAbilityId() )

And remove the ability of the spellbook, look for a spellbook tutorial if you don't know how.

Afterlife Avenger · Jun 10, 2008

Helping me with my trigger? your trigger probly doesnt even work

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

Hmmm, it is true that Frost Nova has to target a unit. On the other hand mine did NOT leak. See "Things That Leak" for more information. You should have used a unitgroup and cleared it.

Please try to keep calm.
You have 7 posts no rep.
I have 500 post 7 rep.
I have as much rep as you have posts.

You seem to be reasonable and smart. Try to remain so. No insults are necessary (or intended on my part).

To GhostWolf:

Although I respect you greatly, sorry I do not know what you are talking about. I realize that it was not relevant to the post but as earlier stated was trying to show Afterlife Avenger a little about leaks.

Bobo_The_Kodo · Jun 10, 2008

Get... On... Topic...

Kwah · Jun 10, 2008

Good Point. Will do.

Afterlife Avenger · Jun 11, 2008

on the other god dam hand it doesnt work now does it? so does it even matter if it doesnt leak NO because itle never run and itle never work so congrats on making nothing not leak

Bobo_The_Kodo · Jun 11, 2008

Not leaking and not working is better than leaking and not working.

GhostWolf · Jun 11, 2008

I already answered you. If you don't want to listen, whatever.

emperor_d3st · Jun 11, 2008

Ghostwolf actually did answer the problem and his suggestion was correct. There is no shorter way to do this.

Afterlife Avenger · Jun 11, 2008

bobo not leaking and not working is the same thing as no trigger at all

Kwah · Jun 11, 2008

Afterlife. Don't fault bobo's triggers. I bet that he knows more than you.

Good job helping though! Keep up the good work!

Bobo_The_Kodo · Jun 11, 2008

bobo not leaking and not working is the same thing as no trigger at all

If you leak and the trigger doesn't work, you get lag.

If you don't leak and the trigger doesn't work, nothing happens (usually).

Lag < Nothing at all
