Missile System

Bribe: Rejecting this resource due to:

1) There are much better GUI projectile systems out there.
2) This thing is full of memory leaks sue to groups not getting destroyed
3) Sets UnitUserData
4) Grossly inefficient and not at all modular

Have fun and i hope you like my system, gave my best to make it easy to modificate.

Nice system.
But you know what would be good to add?
Like when your unit stands till for a second, it faces the nearest enemy in AoE 1000, if you see the point here?

 

[redscores]

No, for what should that be?

You mean like auto-aim?

If you mean that, thats not a part of an missile system, missile systems are for moving masses of missiles.

 

[-Berz-]

But it would be good, for many people that are working on shooting type of maps.
Dunno just my sudgestion.

 

[redscores]

well, depends, that aiming system could be bad too, for example if someone stays infront of you and you turn around because there is someone closer as 1000 and you get shot.

 

[-Berz-]

You cod do a comand, like player types "auto aim" than turn on "auto aim trigger for triggering player"<- that pick nearest unit in 1000
or simply make an ability based on immolation(enable/diasable auto aim)
Something like that i'm sure you see on what i'm pointing at.

 

[redscores]

Yeah, that would be possible.

The Aim System works not, so i removed it.

EDIT: again fucking downrated without comment....

 

[Reap of Creep]

if you use the flame thrower with more than 1 unit than the game gets hard lags until it crashes after some time....are the dummy units getting removed ? I dont think so...........

 

[redscores]

Thats what i forgot! Damnit!

Thansk for pointing that out, i completely forgot that, + rep.

I just killed them, which leaks after a while i think.

 

[Element of Water]

This kind of system isn't really applicable in GUI since its too inefficient... If it was in JASS I would give it 5/5, but only 3/5 in GUI, sorry

 

[redscores]

In JASS it would be very easy with functions, i could do it with ease, but in GUI it got requested.

 

[Jaijaibinx]

I think its better in GUI because the inexperienced in jass can edit it, if it was in jass it would be pretty much useless to GUI mapmakers, and you don't need to know jass to be a great mapmaker. Some of the best maps are in GUI. Good Job 9.5/10

where can i get GUI

where can i get GUI

lol

• Flamethrower
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Flamethrower
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: lol2
    • Set FlamethrowerCaster = (Triggering unit)
    • Unit Group - Add FlamethrowerCaster to FlamethrowerGroup
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of units in FlamethrowerGroup) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Countdown Timer - Start FlamethrowerTimer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 0.25 seconds
      • Else - Actions

lol2

I've downloaded this system and It's a very smooth and enjoyable system, and highly adjustable too. After playing around with the settings guided by the readme provided, I must ask:
Is it possible for me to increase the collision aoe of the missiles so that I won't get any near misses? Even if the missile should miss by half an inch it would still hit, is it possible to modify it to such?

All in all, I'm very happy that you came out with this system Redscores, thank you.

where can i get GUI

LMAO that just made my day

 

[Chewii]

I love this system very much! Easy as hell to use! I hope its okay if i modify it abit for my map?

 

[Gekigengar]

i use it on my map, 5v5, and i got damn lagged...when around 30 vs 30 units fight.

D: hope the lag is reduceable somehow...

like using periodics, instead of creating timers?

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

you can replace this

• Unit - Move MissileTempUnit instantly to MissileTempLocation[1]

with this

• Set x = (X of MissileTempLocation[1])
• Set y = (Y of MissileTempLocation[1])
• Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_MissileTempUnit, udg_x)
• Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_MissileTempUnit, udg_y)

next step would be to replace "set unitgroup = ..." with call GroupEnumUnitsInRange (much faster) but this would require a few lines of JASS
using other models would make it even faster
but I think the biggest problem are the unitgroups
of course using coordinates everywhere instead of locations would be better but that's not the biggest threshold

not infinite! upon reaching 98,754,238,103,406 missiles on the screen at a time, most of them had left the playable map area or left their range, therefore making infinity impossible without making missiles stand still and then there would still be enough to crash teh intarwebz!

[Gekigengar]

so gandalf, what must we do with the replacing "set unitgroup = ..." with call GroupEnumUnitsInRange " function?

can you set an example?.. i am new to JASS here.

 

[blucas6]

Flamethrower lags big time. Definitely not downloading

 

[nafre]

To change the missile damage you have to change the mana of the dummy unit?

 

[redscores]

Don't use this system, it is old, outdated and bugged and not really optimized, go for my real missile system: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-mui-missile-system-v1-03-a-112543/

 

[clockwork2]

veeery nice, but really the flamethrower weapon looks silly if he is not doing firing animation(unless he's a cyborg, which I doubt.). Also, there a way to make this be used for targeted abilities? just asking, cus I'd use this for a map of mine.
