Missing trigger features in Newgen?

[Erkowich]

I am trying to create a knockback sort of spell in a map and i'm using the newgen editor for several reasons. But now i realised that one thing can not be found within newgen, which is this:

Some images to explain

The first image show how it is in newgen and the second in normal editor.

There are some options i really need that are missing, and am i the only one experiencing this in newgen? Cause i would be glad if someone with newgen checked this, and i am using newgen normally without having a second installation of wc3.

Get the custom script of what you want to do in World Editor and insert it into NewGen as a custom script.

Easiest thing to do would have a "handle" variable called "Handle" then every time you want to use it just do

• Custom Script - set udg_Handle = GetTriggerUnit()

a list of these would be

GetTriggerUnit() <--- Triggering unit
GetEnumUnit() <--- Picked unit
GetFilterUnit() <-- Matching unit

Kill, the proper format for a GUI custom script is to type it like this:

• Custom script: set udg_Handle = GetTriggerUnit()

 

[ikillforeyou]

does it Really matter?

 

[Berb]

The reason is because JNGP is out-dated, and does not use the newest version of the World Editor. Go to Help > About the WarCraft III Editor and you'll see the version is not the same as the most recent patch.

Bribe, you are exaggerating a bit. It's a matter of the function, not an actual imitation of the Trigger Editor's interface :S
ikillforeyou properly gave the solution.

I find it so bogus that WarCraft III allows you to declare a Handle but it is impossible to set it without custom script.

K, now i did a try, that didn't work out to well.

    • -------- .04 is how often the units are moved, so we multiply the distance by .04 --------
    • Set rushdistance = (150.00 x 0.10)
    • -------- How long the unit is knocked back for --------
    • Set rushtime = 1.50
    • -------- Store the values --------
    • Hashtable - Save rushdistance as (Key distance) of (Key (Target unit of ability being cast)) in rushtable
    • Hashtable - Save rushangle as (Key angle) of (Key (Target unit of ability being cast)) in rushtable
    • Hashtable - Save rushtime as (Key time) of (Key (Target unit of ability being cast)) in rushtable
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to rush_group

            • Then - Actions
              • -------- Move the unit and update time remaining --------
              • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by rushdistance towards rushangle degrees)
              • Hashtable - Save (rushremaintime - -0.10) as (Key time) of (Key rushhandle) in rushtable
            • Else - Actions
              • -------- Knockback is done, clean up --------
              • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key rushhandle) in rushtable
              • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from rush_group

Do you see any faulty stuff? Cause i don't understand where the problem is.

(ignore the leaks, haven't fixed those)



Realised i had forgot to create the hashtable xD
