Knock-Back 3D - MMS 3D V. 3.2.1

[kamyflex]

Unit1 is a projectile, it will hit a unit2, the KB ends, how to get unit2 (witout using KB3D_Target_Unit) ???

 

[T. D. W.]

Yes, just as I said, but with using KB3D_Target_Unit instead

 

[kamyflex]

Congratulation ! its not causing DeSync anymore The final result is some times VISUALLY wrong but it does not matter !

Thanks for your awsome system, and happy new year !!!!

 

[T. D. W.]

YaY!
Finally, even though the technique I made is not so efficient which is causing the minor visual glitches, it's good that the main and huge problem was solved

Happy New Year to you(all of you) too

Good day ! i need a bit of help about a trigger pleas

here is a video of what i actually have :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgBPn8NyqnQ&feature=youtu.be

i use this trigger :

• Shadow Rush 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to (==) Shadow Rush 2
  • Actions
    • Set KB3D_Attach = origin
    • Set KB3D_Accel = -150.00
    • Set KB3D_Bounce_Target = True
    • Set KB3D_Bounce_Fx = Abilities\Spells\Other\Volcano\VolcanoDeath.mdl
    • Set KB3D_DestroyDestructables = True
    • Set KB3D_Bounce_Unit = False
    • Set KB3D_Angle = (Facing of (Triggering unit))
    • Set KB3D_DisableUnit = True
    • Set KB3D_DestroyTree = True
    • Set KB3D_FaceAngle = True
    • Set KB3D_Range = (Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Target point of ability being cast))
    • Set KB3D_Speed = 2000.00
    • Set KB3D_Targeted_Unit = No unit
    • Set KB3D_Unit = (Triggering unit)
    • Set KB3D_Zoffset = 0.00
    • Set KB3D_Fx = Abilities\Weapons\AvengerMissile\AvengerMissile.mdl
    • Set KB3D_TrailFx = Abilities\Weapons\AvengerMissile\AvengerMissile.mdl
    • Set KB3D_Damager = (Triggering unit)
    • Set KB3D_LoopDamage = 0.00
    • Set KB3D_LineDamage = 0.00
    • Set KB3D_AoE = 250.00
    • Set KB3D_ImpactDamage = 0.00
    • Set KB3D_AttackType = Magic
    • Set KB3D_DamageType = Magic
    • Set KB3D_KillatEnd = False
    • Custom script: call ExecuteFunc( "KB3D_Registration" )

1 - i want my hero to stop when it hits an enemy unit
2 - i want my hero to bounce only the unit that it hits at the end (only 1 unit)
3 - i need a way to detect what is that unit (the unit that caused the end of the KB and that is being bounced) so that i can use it at KB3D_EndTrigger
- i tried KB3D_Target_Unit but it does not work ^^

can you pleas correct my trigger ??

 

[T. D. W.]

Here are the stuff you will need to use
1. KB3D_EndonBounce
2. Same as 1.
3. Well KB3D does not include such function as far as I remember, but, as an alternative, do the following in the EndTrigger:

Check the nearest unit that checks all the conditions to the KB3D_Unit, that unit will be the unit you are looking for

 

[kamyflex]

Thanks thats exactly what i was looking for, the third solution is good enough for the moment, but it will be awsome if you make something like KB3D_EndUnit that can be used in KB3D_EndTrigger.
Good Luck

[kamyflex]

Huge Work, Awsome Result, Thanks man !

 

[kamyflex]

Good Day ! i have a question pleas, if the triggering unit (a hero) is the projectile an its a homing projectile, will it always die at the end of the KB ? since i set KB3D_killatEnd to false and it always die.
Btw, the spell is barathum "Charge of Darkness" from DotA.

 

[T. D. W.]

the option "homing missile" automatically overrides some options, one of them is killatend, basically you will need to set the options needed for the projectile yourself without using "homing missile"

this is the code of homing missile:

    if udg_KB3D_Targeted_Unit != null and udg_KB3D_HomingMissile then
        set udg_KB3D_Zoffset = GetUnitFlyHeight(udg_KB3D_Targeted_Unit)
        set dx = GetUnitX(udg_KB3D_Unit)-GetUnitX(udg_KB3D_Targeted_Unit)
        set dy = GetUnitY(udg_KB3D_Unit)-GetUnitY(udg_KB3D_Targeted_Unit)
        if udg_KB3D_Zoffset == 0 then
            set udg_KB3D_Zoffset = 100
            set udg_KB3D_Range = SquareRoot( dx * dx + dy * dy)*1.25
        else
            set udg_KB3D_Range = SquareRoot( dx * dx + dy * dy)*2
        endif
        set udg_KB3D_KillatEnd = true
        set udg_KB3D_KillWhenHit = true
        set udg_KB3D_EndWhenHit = true
        set udg_KB3D_FaceAngle = true
        set udg_KB3D_UnpathableStop = false
    endif

the list of features is overrides:

1. KB3D_Zoffset
2. KB3D_KillatEnd
3. KB3D_KillWhenHit
4. KB3D_EndWhenHit
5. KB3D_FaceAngle
6. KB3D_UnpathableStop

EDIT:

Note that this part of the code:

        set udg_KB3D_Zoffset = GetUnitFlyHeight(udg_KB3D_Targeted_Unit)
        set dx = GetUnitX(udg_KB3D_Unit)-GetUnitX(udg_KB3D_Targeted_Unit)
        set dy = GetUnitY(udg_KB3D_Unit)-GetUnitY(udg_KB3D_Targeted_Unit)
        if udg_KB3D_Zoffset == 0 then
            set udg_KB3D_Zoffset = 100
            set udg_KB3D_Range = SquareRoot( dx * dx + dy * dy)*1.25
        else
            set udg_KB3D_Range = SquareRoot( dx * dx + dy * dy)*2
        endif

basically gives the movement an arc if the target has a flying height

 

[Deleted member 219079]

JASS2 uses short circulated condition checking, thus:
if udg_KB3D_Targeted_Unit != null and udg_KB3D_HomingMissile then
Is slower than:
if udg_KB3D_HomingMissile and udg_KB3D_Targeted_Unit != null then

But overall nice project this far

 

[T. D. W.]

No no not those stuff again >.<
Anyway that macro second is not worth a whole update for

When there is a bunch of stuff to be done I'll rack it with the others

 

[edo494]

micro, not macro

and yes, this is so silly that it should be forgotten.

Its even more silly optimization than having 2 letter functon names insead of 4 or so. Jass is already so slow that doing (A != B) or C compared to C or (A != null) is literally neglitable

 

[kamyflex]

Thanks TDW i love when u understand me what i will do is this :

//set udg_KB3D_KillatEnd = true
//set udg_KB3D_KillWhenHit = true

and this :

//set udg_KB3D_Zoffset = 100

and set them manually if i need them.

 

[T. D. W.]

Can work yeah

 

[kamyflex]

hi TDW ! i have some features to request :

1 - Add and ID for each KnockBack Entry in your knockback table.
2 - Add a function to remove unit from knockback table (all entries).
3 - Add a function to end a specific knockback using the ID i told you before.
4 - Add a KB3D_EndUnitGroup that countain the units that ended the knockback.
5 - Add KB3D_EndisDestructible KB3D_EndisTree KB3D_EndisUnpathable KB3D_EndisMaxRange Booleans to know what caused the end of the knockback.
6 - Add a function to change the target of a homing missile during the knockback.

Take your time and good luck

 

[T. D. W.]

KB3D is full of surprises, 1.2.3 are already implemented, I'll detail them and how to use them later
4.5. Can be done easily, will do
6. You can mimic this feature by creating another knock back instance right after the knock back ends

 

[kamyflex]

OK ! Thanks Bro i just need an exemple pleas.

- About number 6 what i'm planing to do is to create a Dummy wich is the target and its attached to the target targeted by the Player, when i want to change the target i just attach the dummy to another Unit, just like barathum change target when the targeted unit is dead.

 

[T. D. W.]

Oh, easy way then:
After registering the KB instance, save into a new variable the value of KB3D_Counter
Then when you want to change target, just save the new unit into the hashtable of KB3D:
SaveUnit(KB3D_HA, 5, Instance ID, new unit)
The rest is automated

 

[T. D. W.]

Sorry for the bump, but, Kamy can you please explain your point #2 a bit more?

From what I udberstood: you want to remove one unit from all KB instances? If so that would drastically make some KBs go nuts

 

[kamyflex]

You are welcome any time bro, ask me anytime you want
well, second think is for an ability that freezes the targeted units ( freezes them in space and time ), i then remove all KB instances of the unit.

EDIT : But hey ! i got an idea what if you add functions like :

1 - KB3D_Pause(integer instance ID)
2 - KB3D_Resume(integer instance ID)
3 - KB3D_PauseAll()
4 - KB3D_ResumeAll()
5 - KB3D_PauseRegistration()

i know i can simulate it with creating another knockbacks, but this is better and easier.

 

[T. D. W.]

KB3D Update

V. 3.2.1 Update Changelog:

• New Function: KB3D_RemoveUnit

  ? After setting the variable KB3D_RemoveUnit to the unit of your choice, executing the function KB3D_RemoveUnit will automatically cancel all KB instances on that specific unit

• You can Know what caused the End of a KB in the EndTrigger by checking the following Booleans: "KB3D_EndisNormal" "KB3D_EndisUnit" "KB3D_EndisUnpathable"

  ? EndisUnit refers to an End related to a TargetBounce or the KBed Unit hitting the Target Unit, the Target Unit or TargetBounce Unit can be known by using the variable: "KB3D_EndUnit" EndisNormal refers to a normal, MaxRange reached, or 0 Speed End EndisUnpathable refers to any unpathable terrain, which can be a tree, a destructable or cliff, or any other path changer

• New Functions: "KB3D_Pause" "KB3D_Resume"

  ? After getting the ID of the KB you want to pause/resume, setting the variable KB3D_PauseID to the ID you have and then calling one of the functions above will either pause the KB or resume it, careful using it while having DisableUnit ON

• New Functions: "KB3D_PauseAll" "KB3D_ResueAll"

  ? Executing either function will Pause/Resume ALL Knockbacks, including newly registered ones

• New Functions: "KB3D_PauseRegistration" "KB3D_ResumeRegistration"

  ? Executing either function will disable/enable registrating any new KB

• Improved System

  ? -AoE Damage and Bounce AoE no longer have a different AoE (which resulted sometimes in units getting damaged but not bounced against -Fixed the AoE where trees were destroyed so it's more consistent with High values Speed

Edit: This version may contain some bugs, i cleared most of the ones i noticed but i feel there are some i missed

 

[kamyflex]

Wow Wow Wow ! Amazing ! Thanks Bro

1 - i will do a LAN Test in 2 weeks max and give you a full report.
2 - if using the system is paused using KB3D_PauseAll and i register a new KB it will not execute ? and when if i use KB3D_ResumeAll what i registred is executed ?
3 - Typo error in "KB3D_ResueAll"
4 - what do you use to disable units ? (stun ? pause ? ...) so that i can reverse it if some thing goes wrong.

Thats All Thanks Again

 

[T. D. W.]

1. Sweet
2. Yes
3. Lol ok
4. I think prop window or smth, IIRC, i'll check later and give you Town Hall answer

And you can test the pause/resume/remove features in th test map:
Type pause or resume or p or r or remove

 

[Yugata]

Hey, I'm having a problem using your system. Inside of the test map, I'm trying to make the Wave spell hit air units. So far, I haven't been able to.
What am I doing wrong?

I took the example 4 trigger (Wave) and edited it slightly.

Here's the trigger

• KB3D Example 4
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Wave
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set KB3D_Attach = origin
    • Set KB3D_Line_Fx = Abilities\Weapons\RedDragonBreath\RedDragonMissile.mdl
    • Set KB3D_D_MECHANICAL = True
    • Set KB3D_D_FLYING = True
    • Set KB3D_Accel = -250.00
    • Set KB3D_AllowOutSiding = True
    • Set KB3D_KillifOutSider = True
    • Set KB3D_Angle = (Facing of (Last created unit))
    • Set KB3D_DestroyTree = True
    • Set KB3D_DisableUnit = True
    • Set KB3D_FaceAngle = True
    • Set KB3D_Range = 3000.00
    • Set KB3D_Speed = 1500.00
    • Set KB3D_Targeted_Unit = No unit
    • Set KB3D_Unit = (Last created unit)
    • Set KB3D_UnpathableStop = False
    • Set KB3D_Zoffset = 0.00
    • Set KB3D_TrailFx = <Empty String>
    • Set KB3D_Damager = (Triggering unit)
    • Set KB3D_LoopDamage = 0.00
    • Set KB3D_LineDamage = 75.00
    • Set KB3D_AoE = 250.00
    • Set KB3D_ImpactDamage = 0.00
    • Set KB3D_AttackType = Magic
    • Set KB3D_DamageType = Magic
    • Set KB3D_KillatEnd = True
    • Custom script: call ExecuteFunc( "KB3D_Registration" )
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Travel Time: + ((String(KB3D_Time)) + s))

Also, I have another question. Is it possible to include a DDS with this? I want to use this in my map, but I don't want heroes to be gaining lifesteal from spells they cast! I've sort of figured out a workaround, but it would be much easier if a DDS could be somehow included. Especially since that line damage is soooooo convenient!

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

so basically if the missile is not "near from all axises" from a unit, it won't damage it
thus turning it off will fix your issue

2.sorry to say that but adding a DDS is somehow, "too much" for this already huge system

you can work alongside a DDS from hive, since you can choose the damage type, damage dealer and targets in KB3D, so you can easily detect them in the DDS

alternatively, if i got your point about lifesteal, you can make a projectile owned by the caster and make that same projectile damage the targets with KB3D instead of the caster

 

[Yugata]

Well... That is one smart system! Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm pretty sure this means I need to learn this thing a lot more!

 

[GIMLI_2]

you could add a string variable where you can put in an animation tag that is played while the unit is flying (for example if you want a unit to jump)

 

[T. D. W.]

yeah i guess, you can still do it in the current state by making the unit play the animation and revert it in the End Trigger

 

[Darkdread]

Is it possible to include your own loop trigger? If a unit gets knocked back then it will loop the custom trigger on top of the knock back.

 

[T. D. W.]

Yeah, of course

 

[kamyflex]

Good Day Jad ! i want to show you some thing : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4hzpTcs9h0

And then the game desynced at 36:50 when there have been suddenly 3 KBs

do you think its due to KB3D and GetLocationZ() ??

 

[T. D. W.]

I'll check the code in a moment, but I need you to show me what features those knock backs were using, like the registration trigger of these KBs

 

[Tal'Rarity]

Issue

[jass=]
function KB3D_KillEnumDest takes nothing returns nothing
local destructable D = GetEnumDestructable()
//---------------------------
if GetDestructableLife(D)>0 and ( KB3D_Tree_Check(D) ) and (GetUnitFlyHeight(LoadUnitHandle(udg_KB3D_HA, 0, R2I(udg_KB3D_Reals[0]))) < GetDestructableOccluderHeight(D)) and LoadBoolean(udg_KB3D_HA, 8, R2I(udg_KB3D_Reals[0])) then

call KillDestructable(D)
endif
set D = null
endfunction
[/code]

Seems to be a problem with saving however it somehow works beforehand.

 

[T. D. W.]

Errmm, I have no idea what you just said

In that script there is no saving so I'm really confused

 

[Tal'Rarity]

Errmm, I have no idea what you just said

In that script there is no saving so I'm really confused

. . .

Save your system with the default editor.

 

[T. D. W.]

Oh, right yeah

But that's obviously not the reason of the desync

 

[Tal'Rarity]

Nope, its the reason of having to delete a part of your system just to use it now.

Please fix: When the flying unit is being KBed make it return to it's default flying height. Sometimes when you KBed flying units twice or multiple times the height of the flying units is already touching the floor when the KB is finished.

Whenever I use the arrow model with the homing projectile option the arrow doesn't face the target. I need to fix this since it's really annoying. The missile will follow the target and everything just fine, just not FACE them.
And here's my script.

That's because your projectile dummy is "facing Default building facing degrees"

Change it to whatever the angle is from TempPoint to the position of (Target unit of ability being cast)

Change it to whatever the angle is from TempPoint to the position of (Target unit of abiliyt being cast)

You would think that were true, but it doesn't work like that unfortunately. Here's what I got below this, followed by the script.

Edit: I also just now tried putting the facingAngle true and it yielded the same results.

That's odd. Does it only happen for this unit/effect? If not, then the system is probably making the dummy units face that direction for whatever reason.

Nope. It happens for all the effects that I seen. Units, too. Theoretically if you modified the Zap ability with a slower projectile (so you can see it) and the priestess of the moon arrow, it should do the same as it's doing for me. Likewise, any other effect seems to be doing the same.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Well if it happens for all the effects, then its the system's fault. I can see quickly that in the code it uses SetUnitFacing(), but given the complexity of a knockback system, I don't know what it is really for.

How strange. Oh well, I guess for now I'll just use BPower's GUI system. It seems to work fine, though, sadly, doesn't have arcing projectiles. Beggars can't be chooses I guess, haha! Thanks for your help though, +rep.

 

[KILLCIDE]

By arc do you mean parabolas? BPower's system supports that. Just read the Missile API.

Oh sorry, to clarify I meant with homing projectiles. It technically supports them just not homing missiles with arcs, I'm sure it'll be added in an update though.
