[JASS] JASS Will Not Work

Is there something wrong with this? The five peasants spawn at the middle of the map which is no where near where they're supposed to spawn

function GetMidPointX takes real Px, real Qx returns real
    return (1/2)*(Px + Qx)
endfunction

function GetMidPointY takes real Py, real Qy returns real
    return (1/2)*(Py + Qy)
endfunction

function Melee_Init_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local real humanMidPointX = GetMidPointX(GetUnitX(gg_unit_ngol_0006), GetStartLocationX(GetPlayerStartLocation(Player(1))))
    local real humanMidPointY = GetMidPointY(GetUnitY(gg_unit_ngol_0006), GetStartLocationY(GetPlayerStartLocation(Player(1))))
    
    call CreateUnit(Player(1), 'hpea', humanMidPointX, humanMidPointY + 64.00, 270.00)
    call CreateUnit(Player(1), 'hpea', humanMidPointX - 64.00, humanMidPointY, 270.00)
    call CreateUnit(Player(1), 'hpea', humanMidPointX - 32.00, humanMidPointY - 64.00, 270.00)
    call CreateUnit(Player(1), 'hpea', humanMidPointX + 32.00, humanMidPointY + 64.00, 270.00)
    call CreateUnit(Player(1), 'hpea', humanMidPointX + 64.00, humanMidPointY, 270.00)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Melee_Init takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Melee_Init = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Melee_Init, function Melee_Init_Actions )
endfunction

did u destroy the player start location or is it not created ? if it isnt it will return a 0 so all the units will be created at center of map

 

[RupTure_QS]

The starting location is already placed on the map

use BJDebugMsg to display the values. One of them must be returning 0 or null messing all the function.

 

[RupTure_QS]

Ok so, the BJDebugMsg displayed both of the values as 0.000, but I don't understand why...

Change the (1/2) to (1/2.). 1 and 2 are integers, so when you do 1/2, it spits out an integer result. The real result would be 0.5, but truncated it is 0. Therefore, anything * 0 = 0 so that is why they went to the center.

Adding the little decimal in 1/2. will consider it to be an integer divided by a real, and thus it will return the real result of 0.5. This is a nice tip to know for graphing calculators too (it can determine whether the result is returned as a fraction or a decimal, because 2. is the equivalent of 2.0)

 

[RupTure_QS]

Well that's annoying xD! Thanks Purge, that fixed it.

 

[Spartipilo]

Why don't you just use 0.5 instead of 1/2?

 

[RupTure_QS]

Because I have decimal OCD xD

What about Px + Qx / 2 and Py + Qy / 2?

 

[D.O.G.]

What about Px + Qx / 2 and Py + Qy / 2?

Brackets!

 

[RupTure_QS]

What about Px + Qx / 2 and Py + Qy / 2?

I could've done that, yes, but I still would need the 2 to be 2.00 or 2. so that it registers as a real and not an integer as Purge said.

And brackets as DOG said haha

 

[Almia]

What do you mean by brackets?

 

[RupTure_QS]

(Px + Qx)/2.    (Py + Qy)/2.

Like that, not brackets but parentheses, my bad hahaha

 

[Almia]

It is just inlined:
(Px + Qx)/2.)

 

[RupTure_QS]

What do you mean by inlined?
