Psychic Vortex v1.3

GUI, MUI and leakless [as far as I can tell]

Psychic Vortex

The Psychic creates a link between his mind and his target's, giving him full control over the target's body. He then starts a rotation prosses, turtning the target around the caster, damaging his mana and hp per second. All those who try to rescue the target are knocked back.

Level 1 - 10 Mana and 15 Health per second.
Level 2 - 20 Mana and 30 Health per second.
Level 3 - 30 Mana and 45 Health per second.

Duration: 4\5\6

v1.1
-> Used filters for the unit group
-> Removed big screenshot
-> Fixed the units getting knocked back even if unit is dead
-> Added documentation explaining everything I do.

v1.1b
-> Fixed destructible filters

v1.2
-> Added an "How to implement" Text
-> More configurable settings
-> Fixed name

v1.3
-> Fixed and improved description
-> When the was finished trees still got destroyed. Fixed that.
-> Previously forgot to connect the configurable "Speed" setting. Fixed

- You are not destroying only the tree, this could bring down bridges as well. Find a script that filters other destructable objects and assign it.

- Here
  • Set PM_Group[1] = (Units within 250.00 of PM_Point[4])
You can filter out units, instead of using ITE function below.

- Improve your documenatation (trigger comments), all you do is "actions", "no else" and "leaks". Peoples need better explanation how the whole thing works.

- One screenshot is enough.

Use this for destructable checking(Script written by PitzerMike) and just call it with a custom script:

JASS:
library DestructableLib initializer Initialization
//* ============================================================================ *
//* Made by PitzerMike                                                           *
//*                                                                              *
//* I made this to detect if a destructable is a tree or not. It works not only  *
//* for the standard trees but also for custom destructables created with the    *
//* object editor. It uses a footie as a dummy with the goul's harvest ability.  *
//* The dummy ids can be changed though. I also added the IsDestructableDead     *
//* function for completeness.                                                   *
//* ============================================================================ *

globals
    private constant integer DUMMY_UNIT_ID = 'hfoo' // footman
    private constant integer HARVEST_ID    = 'Ahrl' // ghouls harvest
    private constant player OWNING_PLAYER  = Player(15)
    
    private unit dummy = null
endglobals

function IsDestructableDead takes destructable dest returns boolean
    return GetDestructableLife(dest) <= 0.405
endfunction

function IsDestructableTree takes destructable dest returns boolean
    local boolean result = false
    if (dest != null) then
        call PauseUnit(dummy, false)
        set result = IssueTargetOrder(dummy, "harvest", dest)
        call PauseUnit(dummy, true) // stops order
    endif
    return result
endfunction

private function Initialization takes nothing returns nothing
    set dummy = CreateUnit(OWNING_PLAYER, DUMMY_UNIT_ID, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
    call ShowUnit(dummy, false) // cannot enumerate
    call UnitAddAbility(dummy, HARVEST_ID)
    call UnitAddAbility(dummy, 'Aloc') // unselectable, invulnerable
    call PauseUnit(dummy, true)
endfunction
endlibrary


Also use filters as mentioned above.

First import the library in your map, then in here:
  • Destructible - Pick every destructible within 150.00 of PM_Point[4] and do (Actions)
Add this:
  • Custom script: if IsDestructableTree(GetEnumDestructable()) then
    • Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible)
  • Custom script: endif
Should work perfectly :)
