[JASS] Jass Help needed

[chenlimin]

Is there a Jass function like get attachment point or something. It will tell you the place of a attachment point. I am a real noob in Jass , so i need help.

 

[GhostWolf]

No. Attachment points have nothing to do with triggering.

 

[chenlimin]

well it there anyway of knowing the place of attachment points then?

 

[ZiggyMcjoney]

Use a trigger to add a special effect to that attachment point?

That'll show you where it is.

If you want to know the names of the different attachment points, then try:

No, i mean the hight and X Y place of a attactment. (It's a number)

 

[Troll-Brain]

there is no function for that

 

[PurgeandFire]

Nope, there isn't a function for that. Attachment points are specifically on the model. You can kind of retrieve them (not with JASS) but by viewing it in Magos or something or possibly looking at their MDL, but you can't via JASS, and you can't get the X and Y either of it.

 

[chenlimin]

so there is no way to find out the hight of the point ,so it can be use in other triggers?

No ............

 

[Blue_Jeans]

I'm not entirely sure why you would need to know it.... Since it changes from model to model....

 

[chenlimin]

There is this function, AddSpecialEffectTargetUnitBJ, all i need to know is what happened inside the function to know the hight of the point, is there anyway to do it??

All you need to know is that there is no way to find out what the height is. THERE IS NO WAY.
Adding special effects is simply attaching a model (the effect) to a part of the model (the attachment point). It doesn't take heights or anything.

Oh, come on, how many more people should say no before you accept it? No.
No. Just take their advices, read up on attachment points' names and look them up in the model editor.

there is no function for that but you can do it yourself.
I think game cache is the best choice to link the unit type with his model, basically the height will be always the same for the same attachment and model.
and the x/y will depend the position and orientation of the unit
So you can set real variables.

But you can't change the model size in any way or it will fail (some spells change the model size)
Or make an approximation of it

Anyway it would be boring and crazy to make it ...

thank, i will try.
