! CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SCREENSHOT ! was a lie

I can make you Icarus Dive, I have created a new thread that would handle the movement of the Phoenix when it is Diving (elliptical movement).
Just need to wait people to give the formula to it and I'm off to make it.

Find someone after math university or ask wiki about elipse. You need to do 4 steps:

Lock your unit.
Get array of points on elipse.
For loop integer move unit to next point and wait 0.01 sec.
Unlock your unit.

Thats easy if know points ^^. Start with ring first which is easier.

p1(x1,y1), o(0,0), r

root(sqr(x1)+sqr(y1))=r

All p(x,y) for which this expresion is true are your points.
For e.g. if r (radius) is 4, then x1 and y1 are 2 root(2) in middle of way.

Check www.wikipedia.org for more information.

hey listen the problem is that i really do suck in math guys, so i need it in somehow to be ready , as am good in reading code, give it to me ready and i will post whatever u want to proof to u that i actually understood the code and created it next time myself
all what i need is that code snippet , can anybody provide me with it ??
huge thx in advance

If the disarming is like completely removing the damage by normal attacks , you can loop aoe 'Silence' ,with a tick on disable attacks in the object editor ,while the phoenix is traveling .

I would just add Cargo Hold (Orc Burrow) to the unit to disarm its physical damage.

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

guys i know how to do all the disarm and everything else , all am asking about is that can anybody make me the movement ?!?!?!
anybody wants to help ?!
how about you people help me in here !!!

function get_points(list: ^TPoints);
begin
list[1]:=GetCurrentPos(Unit1);
list[max]:=GetCurrentPos(AbilityTarget);
r:=distance(list[1],list[max])/2;
for i:=2 to max-1 do
begin
list.y:=list+1;
list.x:=sqroot(sqr(r)-sqr(list.y);
end;
end;

function distance(x,y: TPoint):real;
begin
tmp:=sqrroot(sqr(y.x-x.x)+sqr(y.y-x.y);
distance:=tmp;
end;

function Dive(sender: TObject);
begin
get_points(DList)
for i:=1 to max do
MoveToPoint(Unit,Dlist);
end;

===============================
Only max is const, other are variables.
You need to check if types are applicable, as distance is real here (may be integer in WC3)
MoveToPoint is not defined as is embeded.
I hope it helps. Its not vJass as I don't know language specific.

can you make it in some kind of a warcraft way ?!
i cant understand what functions to use or what exact variables to declare ?!
i know am annoying sorry

 

[MajorKaza]

As noticed above I don't knwo vJass which is used as warcraft script language. Maby that will halp a bit:

variable_name: type
i: integer
r:real
list: array of points
point: class (x:real, y:real)


Functions used should be alredy embeded as they are standard math functions
sqr = square for e.g. sqr(4) = 16
sqrroot = square root for e.g. sqrroot(16) = 4
for is standard for loop integer x
GetCurrnetPos and MoveToPoint functions are embeded for sure. Ask someone at vJass section how they are called.

thx i'll try to implement it
i am stuck on the line of list.y=list+1
how can i translate this !!!!
i dont know
can anybody help me to do it ?!

 

[MajorKaza]

oh. There should be:
list.y:=list[i-1].y+1;

Sorry.

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

oh. There should be:
list.y:=list[i-1].y+1;

Sorry.

no what i mean is that how can i implement the part of
list.y=......

 

[MajorKaza]

In GUI editor you just have to set variable as table with range based on casting range. (for e.g. 200) Don't know how to do it in vJass.

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

do you know how to do it in GUI as i dont need the jass
would you help me do it ?

Edit : this subject has been holded for a long time and i really need the spell , can somebody please help ?!
