New Bar System by xD.Schurke

So I created my own bar system (it's more like a casting bar or timed bar).
This creates a bar over an unit and runs out in a time, selected by the user (also the user has some other options to select.)
Of course it's MUI

Requires:
JNGP

                set Dat.tttext = Dat.tttext + ONE_BAR
                set i = i + 1
            endloop
            call SetTextTagText(Dat.te,text,REAL_SIZE_STATE)
            call SetTextTagPos(Dat.te, GetUnitX(u)+STATE_X_CORRECTION, GetUnitY(u)+STATE_Y_CORRECTION, offset)
            call SetTextTagColor(Dat.te, BACKGROUND_BAR_RED, BACKGROUND_BAR_GREEN, BACKGROUND_BAR_BLUE, 255)
            call SetTextTagVisibility(Dat.te, true)
            call SetTextTagPermanent(Dat.te, true)
            call SetTextTagText(Dat.tt,Dat.tttext, REAL_SIZE_STATE)
            call SetTextTagPos(Dat.tt, GetUnitX(u)+STATE_X_CORRECTION, GetUnitY(u)+STATE_Y_CORRECTION, offset)
            call SetTextTagColor(Dat.tt, Dat.red, Dat.green, Dat.blue, 255)
            call SetTextTagVisibility(Dat.tt, true)
            call SetTextTagPermanent(Dat.tt, true)  
            set Dat.tar = u
            call AddObjectToUpdate(Dat)
            return Dat
        endmethod
        
        method onDestroy takes nothing returns nothing
        
        endmethod
endstruct
endlibrary

here an example usage:

For the TimedBar:

call TimedBar.create(udg_t,9.643,255,255,0,true)

call TimedBar.create(<unit>,<time>,<redcolor>,<greencolor>,<bluecolor>,<false/true>)

For the StateBar:

call StateBar.create(udg_t,BAR_UNIT_STATE_LIFE)

call StateBar.create(<unit>,<BAR_UNIT_STATE_LIFE/BAR_UNIT_STATE_MANA>)

if the last part is true the bar will update from right to left, else from left to right

please give credits to me and hanky if you use this one ;)

Test Map Attatched

And also give commands pls :p


version 1.1
  • Added StateBar
  • Reworked some constants

version 1.2
  • Fixed a bug with the downcounting bar

version 1.3

what does that boolean parameter do?
Oh, and i dont like that looping textmacro, i prefer either using one timer per instance, or i write my own loop (without stupid triggers).

And your indentation is ... weird (Indentation of that loop macro is fail).

Sorry didnt read the OP carefully enough.

JASS:
//! textmacro CostumInterface takes Loop,End,path,periodic
library CostumInterface$path$ initializer init
    interface $path$Loop
        boolean active=false
        boolean paused=false

        method $Loop$ takes nothing returns nothing
        method $End$ takes nothing returns nothing
    endinterface

    globals
        private $path$Loop array $path$_loopObject
        private integer $path$_size=0

        private trigger $path$_loop
        constant real $path$_periodic=$periodic$
    endglobals

    function AddObjectTo$path$ takes $path$Loop loopObject returns integer
        set $path$_loopObject[$path$_size]=loopObject
        set $path$_loopObject[$path$_size].active=true
        set $path$_size=$path$_size+1

        if not IsTriggerEnabled($path$_loop) then
            call EnableTrigger($path$_loop)
        endif

        return $path$_size
    endfunction

    private function Loop$path$ takes nothing returns nothing
        local integer index=0

        loop
            exitwhen index==$path$_size
            if $path$_loopObject[index].active and not $path$_loopObject[index].paused then
                call $path$_loopObject[index].$Loop$.execute()
                set index=index+1
            elseif $path$_loopObject[index].paused then
                set index=index+1
            else
                call $path$_loopObject[index].$End$()
                set $path$_size=$path$_size-1
                set $path$_loopObject[index]=$path$_loopObject[$path$_size]
            endif
        endloop

        if $path$_size<=0 then
            call DisableTrigger($path$_loop)
        endif
    endfunction

    private function init takes nothing returns nothing
        set $path$_loop=CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent($path$_loop,$path$_periodic,true)
        call TriggerAddAction($path$_loop,function Loop$path$)
        call DisableTrigger($path$_loop)
    endfunction
    
endlibrary
//! endtextmacro
Done.

I like this system, not exactly very much for the life/mana bars but more for the casting bars. Although i'm sure some people might find some use for the life/mana bars.

As for the problem; maybe you can apply a small trigger that detects new orders given as soon as the bar is created, or you could perhaps check if the unit is playing the "channel" animation sequence.

Heck, simply adding a stop/cancel bar method would be fine. Than you can make your own simple trigger that is enabled when the channel bar is created that cancels the bar on the order and disables that trigger again.

the thing is, it's not a simple trigger ;)

I think the following is equivalent to the one you have in your script.

Code:
[COLOr=White][B][COLOr=Wheat]function[/COLOr][/B] [COLOr=PaleGreen]RoundTo[/COLOr] [COLOr=DarkOliveGreen]takes[/COLOr] [B][COLOr=YellowGreen]real[/COLOr][/B] x[B][COLOr=PaleGreen],[/COLOr][/B] [B][COLOr=YellowGreen]real[/COLOr][/B] a [B][COLOr=Wheat]returns[/COLOr][/B] [B][COLOr=YellowGreen]real[/COLOr][/B]
    [B][COLOr=Wheat]return[/COLOr][/B] [COLOr=SandyBrown]R2I[/COLOr][B][COLOr=PaleGreen]([/COLOr][/B][COLOr=Silver]0.5[/COLOr] [B][COLOr=PaleGreen]+[/COLOr][/B] x [B][COLOr=PaleGreen]/[/COLOr][/B] a[B][COLOr=PaleGreen])[/COLOr][/B] [B][COLOr=PaleGreen]*[/COLOr][/B] a
[B][COLOr=Wheat]endfunction[/COLOr][/B][/COLOr]

no it's not because, with my roundto functions you can round to numbers like 0.xx and not only integers

RoundTo(2.99, 2.0) == 2.0
RoundTo(3.00, 2.0) == 4.0
RoundTo(1.10, 2.0) == 2.0
RoundTo(0.50, 2.0) == 0.0

RoundTo(1.30, 0.5) == 1.5
RoundTo(1.24, 0.5) == 1.0
RoundTo(0.50, 0.5) == 0.5

Thats how the one I posted works. Sorry if I misunderstood, but I thought thats what yours does also.

A suggestion would be to add a string parameter to the caster bar function, which would be displayed above the bar.

Thing is... that can be a whole other system itself. Also its not very rpg-like to call out spells completely giving out all the info about your next plan of attack. Although chanting out the spell name in txt after the bar completes would definately be applicable i think. So... maybe a text messege after the bar completes for timed bars?

If you don't want the string to be displayed you can just call the function with "". =P
