SFX on a missile?

[CloudWolf]

At present, im trying make a shockwave style spell create the Thunderclap sfx at various intervals along its path.

For example, creating the thunderclap every 0.2 seconds along the shockwave's missile path.

Is this possible using the GUI?

Of course make a dummy unit a Shokwave Model then after that make a timer that every 0.2 seconds a Thunder clap will be created at the dummy position of course u need it leakless and MUI >>> if u have any more question just PM me ^^

 

[CloudWolf]

wow :O I never thought about making the missile a unit lol

Ty for the help! +rep

 

[Rmx]

No problem CW Just ask if u need any more help ^^

 

[CloudWolf]

aaah, i am having a small problem I cant seem to make the dummy unit move at the correct speed xD

Ive changed the max limit in contants, and changed the run / walk speed of the unit to 1050. However, in-game it only goes about 500 or so :S

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

The maximum unit move speed is 522 (max supported by WE, it seems).
To make it move faster you must use triggers...

 

[CloudWolf]

gaagh xD and how exactly can you do that? :S Ive tried the "Set movement" speed but it doesnt appear to do exceed the limit lol

and suggestions? :S

Hold shift. That disables limits.

Hold shift, double click the value, and enter.
Besides, you can move 'instantly' with triggers.

hmmm... entering the higher values is no problem, but they dont actually make a difference

As for move instantly, I'm trying to make the unit appear like the shockwave SFX, so it just needs to travel really fast

If its going to be this complicated, i might just give up, and settle for something that wont look as nice, but will do the job lol

GUI MUI Missile System V1.03 - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

This is a missile system I made once, it offers missile movement, maybe you get an idea by looking at the movement part for your missile movement.

 

[Rmx]

redscores u can't do that Show ur spells to him like that i could tell him to look at my Signature and that will solve it But the diffence is he got to learn for himself !!!

 

[redscores]

Your signature wont help him, a system as a example will help him... and just to make sure: your english is nearly unreadable...

 

[Rmx]

Sorry about that but i was Mad and I'm Frensh BTW ^^

Would setting the missile of the ability to the thunderclap SFX work? The FX is meant to repeat. So if you set the FX to thunderclap, and maybe slow the missile down a little, you should get the visual effect you're looking for.

 

[redscores]

You could simply use the dummy model in my system map and just attach every X seconds a thundercap to his origin, would look ok i think.

You can even attach multiple sfx effects to the dummy.

So you could add shockwave 1 time and the thunderclap repeatable, and everytime if you add shockwave just damage all units in a radius around the current position of the dummy.

 

[maskedpoptart]

To make the thunderclap appear at regular intervals, the easiest thing to do is base the ability off of "impale". Just set the "art - special" to "thunderclap." Once you set "air time" to 0, it will no longer cause the hit units to fly into the air. You can (almost) remove the stun by setting the duration to 0.01 and removing the "art - target" of the buff.

If you still don't like the way it stuns units for a fraction of a second, you can set the "targets allowed" to none and make a periodic "unit - damage area" trigger, whose target position would move with the thunderclaps. Let me know if you need more info on how to do this part with GUI triggers.

You can hold shift and set the value to 0 actually.

 

[Lord_BoNes]

By memory setting the duration to 0, causes issues (the buff defaults to its original duration).

@maskedpoptart: I hadn't thought of impale. Well done. But, out of curiosity, would the shockwave way work? I haven't got WE in front of me, at the moment, I can't actually test it out.

Off-topic: Where'd you come up with "maskedpoptart"? That's an interesting one...

 

[maskedpoptart]

actually, you can set the duration to 0 without holding shift, but it causes the units to be stunned infinitely :/

Would setting the missile of the ability to the thunderclap SFX work? The FX is meant to repeat. So if you set the FX to thunderclap, and maybe slow the missile down a little, you should get the visual effect you're looking for.

ok i just tested this, and the thunderclap only goes off two times, about .1 seconds apart, no matter what missle speed you use; don't ask me why. also, you cannot use both the shockwave and thunderclap as missle art (unless you trigger, of course).

i like to be unique . long story short, it involved eating a lot of poptarts for breakfast.

LOL

As for the indefinate stun, I'd forgotten about that.
As for the thunderclap SFX, I can't help but wonder why it only repeats twice... you'd think that I'd be no repeat or repeat forever
