[General] Parabola System

[jonhysone]

Hi!
I made some threads about jumping system. It was an epic fail . Now , I wish I find a solution : I have a 2D Platform System .... Easy to use, But , It's not smooth , where the jump isn't parabola . I need a parabola jump system that works on the ground ( not 3D ) . Please help :
The Unit must not leave the ground , I mean his Z is constant .+ The jump must be parabola ( smooth ) + It uses Regions So the platforms are regions ( It's like jumping from a higher cliff onto a lower one . the unit must not stop in the air ) when it found a region it stops ) + Thank you ( rep + Credits )

so do you mean you must JUMP but you will not lift up the ground?... that's DASH

On jump activation,
set VelocityX = 5 (the forward speed)
set VelocityY = 15 (the initial upward speed)

Every 0.03 seconds,
call SetUnitX( unit, GetUnitX(unit) + VelocityX) (move the unit forward)
set VelocityY = VelocityY - 1 (account for gravity)
animation - change unit flying height to (flying height of unit) + VelocityY at 0 (this will move the unit up for the first 15 ticks, and down for the next 15 ticks)

That's the basis of it. For exit condition, just check when the VelocityY = -15 (negative of the starting vertical velocity).

Ser, I doubt he even knows how to index or arithmetic stuff.. (no offense)

Instead of insulting his intelligence, you could link a few tutorials about indexing... Like Things a GUI User Should Know. And it seems that he wants his jumping to only be two dimensional, with the WC3 y-axis as the up and down, and the x-axis as forward and backward.

Actually, the "up" movement doesn't have to collide with your "Forward" movement.

Whenever you press "Up" You can increase/reduce the Z of your unit (Check a boolean first to prevent multi jumping). No need to manipulate the X/Y, since you can also manipulate those independently, without having to touch the Z thing. (This would allow you to "stop" your movement to any side while you're in the air. Will also allow straight jumping up)

Whenever you press "up" You periodically add about 5 + CONSTANT Z every 0.03. And every 0.03 reduce constant by a bit (0.1 or so). Eventually constant will become negative (Thats the top point of your unit) then it will start falling faster every time. The Base value (5) is determines somehow the initial jump speed. The constant will determine the Jump duration andd the Up/Down speed. When it reaches 0, just stop the thing and reset the values.

He doesn't want to jump in the z direction, is what I'm saying, he wants to jump in the y dimension and move left and right in the x dimension.

 

[Spartipilo]

I know, i helped him with the 2D system he's working on. I say "Z" meaning the unit height from the floor reference. It got all messed up in my head

In his case it's "Y". My point is he can handle the Y jumping independently from the X movement.

 

[Tonex]

Yeah, I get that part Just making sure you knew what he was talking about.

Well I made my own parabola jump in the two dimensional ground .

Instead of insulting his intelligence, you could link a few tutorials about indexing... Like Things a GUI User Should Know. And it seems that he wants his jumping to only be two dimensional, with the WC3 y-axis as the up and down, and the x-axis as forward and backward.

That's what I meant , And well I know about GUI and MATH too . Okay , this is the system that I've made , but it seems it's too fast to detect that the unit has touched the ground ( which is a region ) , so it doesn't land correctly . This is parabola as I wanted . But I dunno how to slown it or idk because it seems to be faster than the speed to detect if the jumper enters a region(the unit goes deeper in the ground and some times it doesn't reach the ground) . Any other idea for how to detect the ground? ( not cliffs )

[Spartipilo]

Set Stop_Jump_Ground = (Player number of (Triggering player))

"A unit enters Region" is not a Generic Unit Event, therefore (Triggering Player) returns null. Use "Owner of (Triggering Unit)"

 

[rulerofiron99]

Exit condition should be in the loop.

You could use a different terrain type for the ground, and check the terrain type at the unit's location.

Never use Integer A, create your own integer variable.
