Serious help on cast bar

[Killd0zer]

I tried to make a cast bar in Gui, however it is still leaky, has many bugs, and I am confused on the approach to fix it.

It looks like this right now:

• Set Cast Bar
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Casting[(Player number of (Triggering player))] Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Floating Text - Destroy CastBar[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
      • Else - Actions
    • Set CastTime[NumofCastBars] = 3.00
    • Set NumOfTics[NumofCastBars] = 30
    • Set TicIntervil[NumofCastBars] = (CastTime[NumofCastBars] / (Real(NumOfTics[NumofCastBars])))
    • Set DisplayTics[NumofCastBars] = [
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to NumOfTics[NumofCastBars], do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set DisplayTics[NumofCastBars] = (DisplayTics[NumofCastBars] + I)
    • Set DisplayTics[NumofCastBars] = (DisplayTics[NumofCastBars] + ])
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: DisplayTics[NumofCastBars]
    • Set TempLoc = (Position of Hero[(Player number of (Triggering player))])
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads DisplayTics[NumofCastBars] at TempLoc with Z offset 0.00, using font size 7.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
    • Set CastBar[NumofCastBars] = (Last created floating text)
    • Set Casting[NumofCastBars] = True

Now I don't mind if you hate it, think its poorly made, or think I can code, however I need help to fix it and make it work.

Will give rep to anyone who helps or even tries.

Could you describe the problem?

• Position of Hero[(Player number of (Triggering player))]...

^Leaks.

• Temp_Loc_1 = Position of Hero[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads DisplayTics[NumofCastBars] at Temp_Loc_1...
• Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc_1)

Oh well, I guess Maker said it all.

We need more information.

sorry, it seems to work once, but when I tried 2 at the same time it had a huge weird bug where it kept trying to create more and more until the game froze.

I was thinking of making it MPI instead of trying to let 100 be active at once by using player num when casting spell.

I will fix leaks later.... then again now is a good time too....

I fixed leak and am trying to give you guys the map (its just a guy and you press ESC to test it)

Oh well, maybe it helps, I have made a vJass SpellBar, check it in spells section. I am not that into GUI for a longer time.

 

[Killd0zer]

Oh yah I know, My computer has a problem with vJass, doesn't work for some reason (I have tried many times

but I would still like a Gui system for me...

 

[Anachron]

You need JNGP 5d and the newest JassHelper in order to make vJass work.

See, this is exactly why I quit GUI. This made my eyes hurt.

If you want my advice on how to do it though:

figure out number of bars you want, and how long to take. Then create a timer, running periodically with an interval of (time to take / bars). Then save into a hashtable everything you want about it, and load it whenever a timer expires, and update everything then.

Wait, can GUI handle timers going off as events? I forget.
