Wow, I use google translator whenever I meet a new word (for me).

 

[Etzer]

So you started using Google Translator? Lol.
I have some bad news... I have to print some crap for my grandmother now... 200 pages...
I will do the system later.

If anyone else wants to do the system, use this:
http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=105357

I can't download the system, as i am at my grandmother (lawl) and it dosen't have WC3.
But does it jump to a target destination or just jump a little forward?

 

[Vercas]

The system I linked to is DialogUtils, not my system.

But my system makes it jump forward.

 

[Etzer]

Is it to a target or just forward without target?

 

[Vercas]

Look at the spells section...
It's no target, you just order the footman to face a location and press J to jump.

 

[Etzer]

OK. Sorry if this annoys you, but is it possible to press space instead of J?

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Good question. Im asking some members. It is possible, i will ask vercas.

 

[Vercas]

It's fucking not possible!!!

The only key that can be directly detected are the arrows and Esc.
+ and - can be detected in singleplayer only.
F1 to F8 can also be detected trough units selection.
1 to 9 can also be detected trough units selection.
Others can be slowly detected trough abilities.

But the only keys you can FASTLY detect are Esc, the arrows, +, - and F8.

 

[Etzer]

That hurt, i am already using ESC, i will get arrow key movement, and since + and - is in SP only, weew.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

One member do a jump on space, without rtc. Just need to detect moving a camera to starting location. Then he just move camera again to unit.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

-facepalm-

 

[Etzer]

Lawl.

 

[Vercas]

Facepalm indeed.
During the game, LOTS of events will change that position and it will get tricky...

But I'll see what I can do!

 

[CyberDuelX16]

I doubt it'll be possible

 

[Vercas]

The truth is... You can actualy get the coordinates of a player's camera, but, as I said, I will run some tests...

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Good Luck ^^

 

[Vercas]

Ok, here are the results:
You CAN point a player to his space location.
You CANNOT actually detect the space location.
Thus you CANNOT detect when the player's camera moves to that location.
Thus you CANNOT detect when a player presses the Space Bar.

It was a big waste of time...

By the way, if the upper statements were all positive, the programmer could stuck any computer in an infinite action-event-action-event-... loop.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

^^ -happy face-

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

OK, That is inpossible, but i don't know how is a one guy do it. I will look on PM's and see if i have his name.

 

[Vercas]

This can be done, actualy, but requires some monitoring over the user's camera AND the camera to follow (not be locked on) a certain unit.

I'll run more tests...

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

I don't know why we worry about that, that can be on C,V or B on whatever other.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

We have to make it something that won't effect the rest of the game, and try to keep hot keys out of that button

 

[Etzer]

Wait. What if you lock the cam to the unit? will spacebar still ruin it?

 

[GhostThruster]

If the camera is locked, then the space bar will do nothing.

88WaR, I'll do that bow system. Send me a link or something to the map.
So, the morph bow trigger is sorta like this:
Event-A unit starts the FX of a ability
Conditions-Ability being cast = Ranged Form(better to have a War Stomp/Thunder Clap/Fan of Knives dummy ability to cancel the morph)
Actions-
If MeleeWeapon = false, then do Replace unit with Paladin(Ranged Suffix) else do Do Nothing

Also, are you gonna have respawning creeps at creep camps?

 

[Etzer]

But, if you have followed our debate, wouldn't spacebar work with Jump then?

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Etzer, if camera is locked you can't detect spacebar.
GhostThruster, i don't know how will i post you a map, it has 30 mb and you need JNGP or JNGPS with enabled no limits. Still want download it? if yes i will post it in pastebin and give you link.

 

[Vercas]

If the camera is locked, then the space bar will do nothing.

The man is right, and that is quite obvious because locking the camera on a unit makes it UNMOVABLE.

I've tried, it doesn't quite work because of warcraft 3's n00bism...

If I were to make the fucking engine, I would also add velocity calculations and whenever I want to move the camera on a unit's X and Y coordinates, it should also add the velocity X and Y...

So no, this is impossible...

 

[Etzer]

oh ok. Didn't think of that. WE sucks so hard.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

I find it good P;

 

[Etzer]

That's cause... I don't know... I HAVEN'T USED IT IN 3 DAYS I MISS IT!!!

 

[Vercas]

I prefere Garry's Mod and Sc2... Really.
If Sc2 features CustomUI, it's going to be da' best Blizzard Game.

I still prefer Garry's Mod because you can do anything in that game; the engine of the game is wonderful: The Orange Box Engine!
Seriously, I don't think there is something you cannot do in that engine.

 

[Etzer]

Undress people.

 

[Vercas]

That too!
Actualy, there are lots of nude models, skins, background...
Mods from WoW, Stargate, GoW, Mirror's Edge and many, many more games.

 

[Etzer]

Then it can't... errhhh....
errrhhh... well... Then it can't make custom models all alone!

 

[Vercas]

What the fuck? Of course it can... -_-"
It can also create textures, render targets, render screenspaces...
Models are animated trough programming in that game, not trough the model editor, and that's nice because it can depend on physics and collisions!

 

[Etzer]

What about well... erhhh... Then it can probaly do everything. Of wich i am allowed to say. I will think of something!

 

[Vercas]

It can also stream data to different displays like G15.
You can make a web browser inside that runs HTML 5 and Flash.

For example, there is an entity in game called the YouTube Player that renders a youtube video on a screen with 60 FPS and it doesn't lag at all!

 

[Etzer]

I WILL THINK OF SOMETHING YOU KNOW? Srsly, i will!

 

[Vercas]

Ok, but I bet you will be wrong.
You can search for Half Life 2 Ultimate Edition 7 and download the games. (Including Garry's Mod)
I forgot to mention that Garry's Mod automatically integrates with other Valve games and you can use all their content EXCEPT: L4D2 maps; Portals and Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device from Portal and Portal: Prelude.

 

[Etzer]

HAHA then it can't use PORTALS.. No wait, wait, there is portals in half life...

 

[Vercas]

Yep, but it cannot use the portals from the game Portal because of their render depth... I've modded Portal and it's so fucking hard to place the portal textures on the surfaces!

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

What are you talking about?

 

[CyberDuelX16]

I still don't have a job...

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

WOooow, i forget give job to you.
Do you want make combo system?
-----If you want here is desc----
For combo system one ability is needed, that will have X levels about 20.
Damaging amount MUST be a DAMAGE OF ATTACKER.
Every bonus attack will be based on level of combo ability.
-----------------------------------------
Thats all what you need to know.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

I'll get on it

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

OK. Post it here, when you finish.
vercas, what's with talk system? and if is possible to make it like on this picture(but it will need to be with fs ambient.) Picture :

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Couldn't you just use the cinematic talk?

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

I want here to be advanced talk system, i mean like in other games(RISEN) to make to show targeted unit's text and answers that your able to say, with FS Ambient.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Just try to not make your game too unique P:

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

But we need to show more original ideas. What you think about that? Is that bad or what?
