[JASS] Locate Z position?

[Lightskin]

Well I'm making a fishing system, which grabs the position of where you cast the "shockwave" skill.
The problem is that it always returns 806.400, ALWAYS.

I first used

set udg_z = (GetLocationZ(GetSpellTargetLoc())

But with no succes I tried creating a dummy item and using

set udg_z = (GetLocationZ(GetItemLoc(udg_tempitem))

Any help? Thanks in advance!!

You tried casting it on land above water? It might be that the water surface is known as ground level for water.

 

[Lightskin]

Yes, even underwater, even in high land it returns 806.400.

Post the whole code or preferably a test map.

Maybe try GetSpellTargetZ? Never used it before but it should compile.

I know you can use GetSpellTargetX/GetSpellTargetY even tho they aren't highlighted.

The problem is probably in

It might be that the water surface is known as ground level for water.

this.

for some reason I can't even make it work now... It worked a few hours ago though...

You are missing one bracket, ")" on the end, in that custom script.

It didn't compile for me until i fixed it.

You are also leaking 2 locations.

 

[Maker]

There is no target point of ability being cast for finishes casting event. It will thus use center of the map.

 

[Lightskin]

so what would be the solution? starts the effect?

 

[Berb]

Yes.

 

[Lightskin]

damn, hehe I was using finishes so I wouldn't need to use wait triggers, instead I could just use the casting time. But I guess I can still figure something out. Thanks guys

 

[Maker]

You could bae the ability on channel ang give it some casting time. That delays "Starts the effect...".

 

[Lightskin]

I'm quite sure I'll try that, thanks, once again maker!
