[Need Fast Answer!] 50% Chance

[Netherdrake]

I want to do a trigger that when a spell chosen by mine (for instance, Doom). When it is cast, the caster has a 50% chance of able to turn its collisions off. Then after a specific time, the collisions will be back to normal. I forgot how to do that, it has been ages, can anyone make me a simple example of trigger to do this?

Thank you!

 

[Dr Super Good]

if GetRandomInt(0,1) == 0 then
//Turn collision off
else
//Do not turn collision off
endif

 

[Netherdrake]

if GetRandomInt(0,1) == 0 then
//Turn collision off
else
//Do not turn collision off
endif

I don't understand JASS at all... I'm looking for GUI, sorry.

This is what it would be as GUI:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Random integer number between 0 and 1) Equal to 0
  • Then - Actions
    • -------- Turn Collision Off --------
  • Else - Actions
    • -------- Do not Turn Collision Off --------

Their triggers are fully correct exept for the part that you wanted it to be time limited.

• Create Hashtable
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)

• Ability being cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Doom
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 2) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Turn collision for (Casting unit) Off
        • Hashtable - Save 10 as (Key Doom) of (Key (Casting unit)) in Hashtable
        • Unit Group - Add (Casting unit) to UnitGroup
      • Else - Actions

• Turns on collision after specific time.
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Load (Key Doom) of (Key (Picked unit)) from Hashtable) Equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Turn collision for (Picked unit) On
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from UnitGroup
          • Else - Actions
            • Hashtable - Save ((Load (Key Doom) of (Key (Picked unit)) from Hashtable) - 1) as (Key Doom) of (Key (Casting unit)) in Hashtable

yes this works but you also can use locals and waits (lagless but not so effective)

I was wondering about adding a unit ability to a hero that lasts for 30 seconds, which turns the collisions off by triggers, and remove it when the time is up. So it just helps me to see if I have my collisions turned off or on. Oh well, I'll figure something out, and come back with results.

EDIT: I've found another way, I just need a trigger to detect the hero to see if it has the Phase ability (basically its a dummy unit ability that does nothing) and I'm already stuck here. Any help?

I would suggest instead of using an ability for this, find this command:

• Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to 1

Every unit has a single custom value that can be used. Better and simpler than a hashtable, but can only be used for one thing. It can be called later with this:

• Conditions
  • (Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1

which is an integer comparison

Good idea... but what if the trigger doesn't revert it back to 0?

That's the reason why it's NOT better then a hashtable
Using it for a spell is a waste imo

This is my best atm:

• Phase
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Doom
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 2) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Phase to (Triggering unit)
        • Unit - Turn collision for (Triggering unit) Off
        • Wait 30.00 seconds
        • Unit - Turn collision for (Triggering unit) On
      • Else - Actions

I haven't tested it yet, mostly likely not working though.

this is not MUI plz use locals
local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
.
.
.

 

[Justify]

This is MUI, GetTriggerUnit/TriggeringUnit IS local.

 

[hell gate]

hmm... ok but else you have to use my thing

 

[Netherdrake]

this is not MUI plz use locals
local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
.
.
.

...I haven't used those before?
