Not MUI and very poor examples. We have far better knockback examples in the database already, so I'm going to reject this permanently.

 

[Tank-Commander]

Right Imma put this simply:
-Not Mui, (there is no arraying or use of hashtables)
-Not levelled (not needed really, but it's always good)
-Uses TSF (Trigger sleep functions, better known as waits)
-Doesn't destroy Sfx, leaving them there eventually making the game laggy
-Another main point on the mui issue - if It's turned off 1 second after casting, what if theres another caster? it'll stop early.
-Every 0.03 seconds is preferable to 0.04 - Thats just how it is - don't ask me =P

 

[Hitsugaya.Daijo]

Ok thank you, but I was told that wait is MUI, not GUI. I'll fix the SFX now. The 0.04 is to whatever you want, that's why it was listed under Editables read the whole thing. On the One Second caster thing I'll try to find a way around it, but really one second... I don't think it'll cause that much errors. After I fix it up it shouldn't cause to many errors.

 

[Tank-Commander]

Mui stands for Multiple unit instable - it's a requirement in spells.
Gui is the triggers type of scripting as it where
Mui is a property of the triggers/spell.

 

[Hitsugaya.Daijo]

Ok Thank You. I was thinking about replacing the wait with either these two options.

Turn on Trigger (Trigger 3)

Trigger 3 -

Every 0.2 seconds.

Set variable Integer to Integer + 1.

Trigger 4 -

Every 0.01 seconds.

Integer = 5.

Turn off Trigger 2
Turn off Trigger 3
Set Integer = 0


Or.

Create a timer, and have the timer run for a second, when the timer ends turn off Trigger 2, and 3.

P.S But that still doesn't resolve the double caster thing.

 

[Tank-Commander]

na thats not the way to go for that.
What you need is in your loop trigger (every 0.04 seconds one)
have at the very bottom
Set variable (Integer variable) = (Integer variable) + 1#
If the else Multiple conditions
- Integer variable equal to 60 / 0.03
Then
(Spell stopping functions here)
Set Integer variable = 0
Else

 

[Hitsugaya.Daijo]

Ok that's similar and its even better put.

I also found a way around the double caster. If there is a .5 second casting time. Then there would only be the possibility for another caster to cast it at the .51 second mark of the trigger. If that where to happen then by the time theirs is cast then it would automatically be 0.01 seconds after the cast setting it to be redone causing no errors. If two people do it at exactly the same time then they would both go the same distance, but I was thinking about putting it at .75 casting time because if someone casts it during the 0.01 to the 0.50 second then it would start casting before it is reset.

I also found another bug. If someone cast it while near an ally it would also push the ally away to. So I'll have to put the trigger in pick every unit in ownership of player 1 red, and remove them from Units. I would do it for all players, and then have it in description where you have to remove the ones that are of the enemy, but if it was also used by some other unit then that wouldn't work. So either it has to be a tk spell, or there would have to be about 12 (or <) triggers to do this spell.

Okay updated it for the newest one check it out, and see what else you think should be resolved.

P.S The double-caster bug has been fixed, but if you think it should be 1 second instead of 0.75 maybe it should be, because then there wouldn't be the change of two people casting it at once, even tho the odds are slim.

 

[Tank-Commander]

only remove units under the ownership of (owner of unit (Triggering unit)) Rather than a set player, also the way around the mui problem is via arraying your variables or using hashtables so that it won't matter who casts itr at what time and what not. also no matter how 'perfectly' you time the casting - in the currant trigger setup theres always a way to make it bug.

on a sidenote: Use the [Edit] Button rather than double posting - it's in the rules.

 

[Hitsugaya.Daijo]

Well thank you about telling me of the "Edit" rule.

Anyways there isn't such a great change of it bugging. Do you think it is a required thing?

 

[ChaosKnight]

Code Please.

Mui stands for Multiple unit instable - it's a requirement in spells.
Gui is the triggers type of scripting as it where
Mui is a property of the triggers/spell.

MUI - Multi-Unit-Instanceable

Also check this if want to see how to make a MUI-GUI AOE knockback ability.

 

[Hitsugaya.Daijo]

Sigh...

MortAr -

Thats not important.

ChaosKnight -

If you want the code just download the map...

I dont want too.

 

[Lordarking00]

I found a bug. If you use the spell you can shoot units out of the map. pls fix it

 

[Hitsugaya.Daijo]

Lordarking. Read Comments, and the Information. I am tired of people not reading the full thing. It has valuable information in it.

 

[Narogog]

Hitsugaya, you could easily stop sending the units off the edge of the map by

Myfix

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Terrain pathing at Knockback_To of type Walkability is off) Equal to False
  • Then - Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Position_of_Unit using Abilities\Spells\Human\ManaFlare\ManaFlareBoltImpact.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to Knockback_To
  • Else - Actions

if you did this, it would prevent the unit from being thrown off the edge of the map

 

[Prince.Zero]

Mui stands for Multiple unit instable

You butchered the meaning lol
Multiple Unit Instanciable
unless you call it unstable? O_O


Anyway
This is really useful for gui users
But really could use some optimizing
Make sure it's leak free. and i still wonder... how can you make a spell that uses waits MUI in GUI?

 

[Deaod]

Making GUI "code" using Waits MUI is one of those things youre better off not trying. Its possible, of course, and involves a fucktonne of direct hashtable usage.
Really, youre better off not trying this, and instead moving to vJass (which is not nearly as complicated as the proponents of GUI want you to believe).

 

[redscores]

Hitsu, you should stop being a donkey, you are a really heavy beginner without an idea about GUI coding, you shouldn't tell other people how they should do it.... first learn how things really are.... then you can talk.

And if you look at my resources now, trying to tell me that I am a noob... 90% of my spells are rated by mods with a 4.00 or 5.00... so forget it, i am like 7 years longer in this buisness as you.

 

[Sorceress]

Looks nice.

 

[Tank-Commander]

You butchered the meaning lol

Not really butchered - I meant err (can't spell it) it's just that I read it as I typed so I read 'In-sta-ble'

Anyways:
Ontopic, you should really post the code in some

Hidden

• Tags i n the description - it'd make it more simple for people to evaluate the spell.

 

[Hitsugaya.Daijo]

You are annoying Redscores... Why the hell do you think me and Tank are talking about it. I am already fixing it I don't have much time on my hands. I never said I was so great at GUI, and I never said "Oh where doing it my way" no we where agreeing on things that would be better.

Thank you for the comments EMo2LoVe, and Deaod.

Narogog I like that idea its a little simpler than putting in the other trigger.

P.S Don't call me "Hitsu"... Its Hitsugaya Daijo, and sorry for not being able to get the code text in right now I only had a second.
