Hello i need help at how to create a shop for spells like custom one, To select.

u mean something like this?

 

[Iamnottom]

yes!

 

[Iamnottom]

from seeing the triggers, everything is there. thx ;]

 

[shadowvzs]

its easy but i give a advice, make ability variable arrays or use hashtable for keep tracking what skill u learned, then u can remove/level up too with trigger

have similiar thing in spell section too

[Iamnottom]

i have another quostion. i want creeps to respawn at the spot where i want them after some amount of time when they die like in normal wc3 when there are groups of monsters guarding some fountain or smth. But i can only do them to spawn at the same spot they died ;/

2nd example

or 3rd example, depand u want random point in region for respawn or exactly same position than at map start

 

[Iamnottom]

thx

 

[Iamnottom]

but i ma bit confused, its a hell lot of those triggers

 

[Iamnottom]

when i copy all that folder (the 3rd) all of my triggers crash, stops working.

 

[shadowvzs]

but i ma bit confused, its a hell lot of those triggers

then use 3rd example and copy the unit indexer from demo map or from here http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...prev=search=gui%20damage%20engine&d=list&r=20

3rd example respawn unit where they was when map started

simple copy paste the triggers

 

[Iamnottom]

i copyed the whole unit index into my map, but nothing happens

 

[shadowvzs]

i copyed the whole unit index into my map, but nothing happens

but u must copy the respawn tryggers too from here
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...-hostile-variations-respawn_startposition.w3x

 

[Iamnottom]

that what i get when i copy them both and save the map

 

[Iamnottom]

set u = CreateUnit(GetTriggerPlayer(),id,udg_CreepX[cv],udg_CreepY[cv],udg_CreepAng[cv])

 

[shadowvzs]

ah right, u must create 3 real variable (real mean real type) array:
CreepX
CreepY
CreepAng

and copy this too

• Set the unit coordinate
• Events
  • Game - UnitIndexEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: local unit u = udg_UDexUnits[udg_UDex]
  • Custom script: set udg_CreepX[udg_UDex]=GetUnitX(u)
  • Custom script: set udg_CreepY[udg_UDex]=GetUnitY(u)
  • Custom script: set udg_CreepAng[udg_UDex] = GetUnitFacing(u)
  • Custom script: set u = null

lol might aswell use JASS with all thoughs custom scripts.

 

[Assassins-Creed]

I don't have the World Editor on me but maybe using something when a hostile dies (a creep or something) revive that creep in 10 seconds.You could also just spawn hostiles every so-so seconds.

 

[Iamnottom]

i dont know, i cant do it right. If you could do smth, here is my map.

 

[Assassins-Creed]

I'll look at it in a couple of hours, not sure I can do much though. I don't really know jass.

 

[Iamnottom]

thx anyway

 

[Iamnottom]

maybe you shadowvzs could try fix it?

 

[shadowvzs]

i dont know, i cant do it right. If you could do smth, here is my map.

u made everything right, everything except your CreepAng not array, i said both CreepX,Y and CreepAng is array but u made only X/Y to array

so just u needed only check the array and its work

just dont forget change the

• Wait 5.00 seconds

to that duration how much u want for respawn atm unit respawn after 5 sec, but u can change it easily to unit level depend wait in gui too
example

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
    • Wait (5.00 + ((Real((Hero level of (Triggering unit)))) + 1.00)) seconds
  • Else - Actions
    • Wait (5.00 + ((Real((Level of (Triggering unit)))) + 1.00)) seconds

 

[Iamnottom]

thx

 

[Iamnottom]

listen, i used your spells, but i cant do it right as always -_-, got everything ported. So if your not yet pissed off of me here is the map. and why is it , that sometimes there are text, but not triggers, like your spells? your spells looks cool btw

 

[Assassins-Creed]

Sorry I can't help, I don't know how to do indexing. I was told hashtables are more efficient so I decided to learn that instead.

 

[shadowvzs]

what u forget there
1. create point variable with "p" name, unit group variable with "UG" name
2. copy jump parabola function from header (its simple copy paste to map header)
this

function JumpParabola takes real  dist, real  maxdist,real  curve returns real 
    local real  t = (dist*2)/maxdist-1
    return (-t*t+1)*(maxdist/curve)
endfunction

3. dont imported the sword model, sunfire model, barrel model, button blps
4. u copyed 2x the sword baility but explosion arrow ability no

dadam, done?

if u want customize something then i can help

 

[Iamnottom]

i need one for thing from you to finish this map and i wont bother you anymore. it, may be difficult, that ability system v2 you sent me, to have spelbook. it says smth about initialization function when i try to enable those triggers

 

[Iamnottom]

http://www.myfacewhen.com/332/

 

[shadowvzs]

because it is vjass and i guess u use regulare World Editor and not JNGP (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...456/how-download-install-confige-jngp-160547/)

most (so not every ) of eye candy thing was made in vjass, but simple ways could be easy in normal WE too

 

[shadowvzs]

isnt infected with trojan, dont worry, maybe u dont noticed but most of antivirus give false alert to keygens/cracks

(u can edit your post, with edit button )

 

[Iamnottom]

well after a hard work i finally installed vjass, and did some things in that abillity system. But i still get initialization errors when i try to disable,enable the triggers and there is no sigh of those abillity slots in heroes, like in the abillity system. http://www.myfacewhen.com/199/

      • Else - Actions

What have i done wrong here to say that the unit is killed to all players when he dies?

 

[Assassins-Creed]

Unless the unit is killed immidiately after it spawns it will not do the conditions part.

You would have to set elder voidwalker as a variable and do "generic unit dies" "dying unit is equal to voidwalker" -insert actions here-

 

[Iamnottom]

• Killed
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies

    • (Dying unit) Equal to Voidwalker

i did like that, but it doesnt work. i renamed the elder void, into Voidwalker in object editor. so it shouldnt be it

 

[Iamnottom]

so shadowwvsz could you help me with the abillity systems? i still cant get it right aswell

 

[Assassins-Creed]

• Events
  • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Set VoidWalkerUnitVariable = (Last created unit)

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
• Conditions
  • (VoidWalkerUnitVariable is dead) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Secret Message:sup
  • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Try these.

 

[shadowvzs]

atm for me the jngp dont work well, maybe somebody can help who use jngp

 

[Iamnottom]

• (VoidWalkerUnitVariable is dead) Equal to True

How do you create this trigger?

 

[shadowvzs]

,,,,

 

[Iamnottom]

shadowvsz im almost done, i got it worked the, ability system, but the only problem is that i can only add unit spells and items, not hero spells. Do you know how may i add hero spells?

 

[shadowvzs]

dont matter if unit or hero spell because u cant make it learneable, so hero spells also act like unit spell and only way for level up is with trigger. anyway in object editor if u ckeck out the hero ability field then its unit ability.

 

[Iamnottom]

But when i want to use custom abillity like lighning strike, its splited in two sides effect and the whole abillity. and the effect is in unit slot. so when i learn in a hero (the unit effect one) it only shows some lighning texture, but no dmg. You can see it for yourself:

 

[Iamnottom]

or for example: explosive shot, its custom. Its in heroe slot, not in unit, so how can i put it in?

like i said i cant test the map because its vjass(so acctually i can test but if i modify anything then dont loading anymore to me without modifying anything when i bought lightning item dont happened nothing), anyway u made the instruction correctly?

u also checked how its work this line? also i guess u must add to unit the "Ability" ability what was in that system

• Custom script: call AddAbil( 'I009', 'A000', true )

 

[Iamnottom]

yes, i puted the abillities in the paladin (hes in bottom right corner) and go to the way gate near him and press the book to learn that lighning. it will be in water slot for some reason not lightning, and you will see that it wont cast. Try this one

 

[shadowvzs]

maybe coz enemies is unchecked?

with this target allowed only friends can be target, not enemies or neutral or allies or self etc

check in that targets what u want allow to target

 

[Iamnottom]

its Aoe spell. Tried it, only lightning texture apeared on a target

 

[Iamnottom]

maybe this system doesnt work with custom abillities?
