[JASS]Missile

[shinji]

I heard that there's a JASS function to create a missile instead of a dummy unit. What is it?

 

[Adiktuz]

All I know is that there are vJASS libraries for creating missiles...

I never saw a native function for creating a missile... unless you mean a simple special effect creation...

 

[shinji]

Maybe some function like

call CreateMissile (false, 100.0)

 

[Adiktuz]

There's no native JASS function for missiles/projectiles... who told you that?

but yeah there's a non-native JASS function for that, assuming you use a projectile library like Berb's Projectile etc...

 

[shinji]

I remember some thread when I was looking at a thread that Bribe was looking at. (I clicked the current activity link.)

 

[Adiktuz]

such thing doesn't exist, unless they merged an existing projectile system into a parser so that it will look like it was a native jass function...

 

[shinji]

Ok. Thanks.

EDIT: By the way, how do I remove the terrain deformation of the shock wave ability?

 

[Adiktuz]

It was Bribe's idea to do something like that for Table, SpellEffectEvent, etc [so that the users don't need to import those most used libraries anymore] for his Lucky Parser but that project got stopped...

 

[shinji]

I see.

The terrain deformation of Shockwave is hardcoded. There are similar abilities like Breath of Fire or Crushing Wave without it.

 

[Adiktuz]

Though the missiles will be grounded if created using those abilities...

Ah. Thanks.

You mean, it will not look like an arrow?

 

[Adiktuz]

you could a bit via using the missile arc property but if you need more height control, nope... and you also cannot make it such that it will stop when it hits terrain or a unit and such... and it will always deal spell damage... and you will need one ability per projectile that you want...

 

[shinji]

Well... Looks like I must do it the HARD way.
