[Trigger] Right Click detection

[LordDz]

I was just wondering how I can detect if a player right clicks (if it's possible) + save that location in a point variable.

Like:

Player 1 clicks on a place, then his cannon shoots a cannonball towards that location.

If it can be done without jass it would be nice.. As I don't know much jass at all.

I think its possible couse in escape builder (dont now if u now it) theres some system that does the same but makes terrain at that point so maybe ask interflo"?

Gets an point order or somewhat like that ... you fake a unit order

 

[Super-Sheep]

Unit is issued anything

Set point[playernumberofowneroftriggeringunit] = target point of issued order

Ye, I thought that too. I have to have a unit that is ordered something, it couldn't just trigger by right clicking when having nothing selected?

That's not possible unless you inject DLL into your map making it unreadable as well as unplayable by the default WarCraft III Engine. You'll have to use a special launching tool for such a map like the WarSoc tool.
This also means you won't be able to play the map online.

Okay. Well I just made it fire straight from the ship, and then use the slide trigger ways to make it move.

Any news on warsoc, when it'll be out?

Ask the developers yourself. They haven't officially stated any date yet.

But why without anything selected? Can you perhaps describe a little better your system?

 

[redmarine]

You'll have to find another solution to your project as your demand is impossible without incompatibility issues with the default WarCraft III Engine.

What I wanted was a spaceship that moves with the slidetriggers, it kinda works.

But then I also wanted to right click and it would fire to that position. Somehow my move orders made it turn before, but now it just continues in the direction it has. So I guess I could use the unit now.

EDIT: Does anyone know why this trigger doesn't allow the unit to turn?/Knows how to fix it, it's for an AI.

As i have discused earlier in my thread, it seems that the function to make a unit face angle/unit/point are slopy.
Therefore for example you can't make unit face a unit face an angle/unit/point instantly not even by moving it and making it face that angle.
You could try to increase the turn speed before you move the unit though, may work...

It did work before, dunno what I did different. Turn speed.. Doesn't seem to work for me. But I'll test .
