Hello.

I need a fix to this trigger.

• Set M_ZSpeed = (((M_TargetHeight[(Integer A)] - (Current flying height of M_UnitIndex[(Integer A)])) x 0.02) x ((M_Distance x 1.50) / ((Current movement speed of M_UnitIndex[(Integer A)]) + ((Real((Level of Speed for M_UnitIndex[(Integer A)]))) x M_Modifier
• Animation - Change M_UnitIndex[(Integer A)] flying height to ((Current flying height of M_UnitIndex[(Integer A)]) + M_ZSpeed) at 10000.00

It's a unit that raises it's height depending on the distance. I want to make it reach it's height when it reaches the target.

Can someone help me?

u have to move a location to a point then get that locations Z height and then change the distance between the target height and the Z height of the terrain. Also u should get rid of Integer A instead make ur own integer. integer A is slower and buggy at times. I explain more on this in my tutorial. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tutorial-submission-283/things-gui-user-should-know-233242/

No it is not. Slower, perhaps, but that is for other reasons. Buggy it is not.

Can someone help me?

If you explain what variables you have etc.

The way I would go about it is compute a constant Z velocity at cast time based on...
((target height) - (current height)) / (number of cycles to reach target)
And add this to the unit's height every cycle.

slower is proven already and ive seen some weird bugs when using it. Were it skipped integers and stopped running in the middle of the loop for one iteration. Then kept going like nothing happened.
Also it is slower and less efficient.

Please look at the JASS it compiles into and tell me where the difference is?

i have looked at it in jass lol. ive tested it for efficiency. try making a loop with ur own integer and with Integer A put create unit and display the number. Integer A is always lower than ur own integer by 50 + instances.
Im not sure y it bugged and it really shouldnt be able to. I do know when i switched it over to my own integer the bug dissapeared. I was a noob back then and didnt bother to look for the reason y.

Integer A is always lower than ur own integer by 50 + instances.

Instances of what? You are aware it uses a global so does not support nesting?

 

[deathismyfriend]

ik that now lol but back when i had the problems that might of been y it messed up lol.

Also by instances i mean when the integer is 1 thats instance 1. When its 2 thats instance 2 and so on. So mybe it was something i did wrong way back when i started.
Integer A is still less efficient tho.
