Fix the dummy-dealing-damage bug and reduce the number of function calls in your triggers by using variables to cache data, and this might be approved.

One Question

Can you use titles to indicate ranks instead? I think that would be much nicer.

New version has been updated.

 

[HellvsHeaven]

While I was testing the map, I found a bug with the floating text. Some floating texts showing ranks magically appears on the screen and stays there, not connecting to any unit. By the way, I didn't mean floating text to indicate ranks. I meant adding the rank names as titles to a player's name. For example, [Rank] (player name). This way, when a player types something, others and the player will always know what rank he/she is. Anyway, this is only an suggestion, not a demand. Also, the floating text is sort of annoying because it is blocking the player's view.

@defskull, 5/5

@HellvsHeaven, you can delete the floating message, and if you dont want to use rank sfx, you can write " ^ " on floating message as a rank value

 

[HellvsHeaven]

I was only giving a suggestion and feedback.

 

[defskull]

Also, the floating text is sort of annoying because it is blocking the player's view.

And that is why at my first attempt, I used an SFX to indicate current ranks.
I will add an option to choose on how to show the current rank of each unit.

Method 1:
Current method, always shows the current rank of a unit.

Method 2:
Select unit and type "-rank" or whatever command suits, and a Floating Text will appear above the selected unit(s) about 3 seconds or so and disappear.

Thanks for feedbacks !

Floating Text created on 0.000, 0.000 because of null unit.
If hero destroy few units (with spell), it will destroy system.

Edit, also this system will fail if you use dummy units because you need to register all kills made by dummy units as well as main unit for same unit.

Make it jass/vjass and just add few GUI examples.

Fixed.

What do you meant by dummy and unit, as a single unit ?
Did you want to exclude dummy units too ?
I'll add an exception option in the next version (which unit can be included in rank system and which unit does not included).

Make it jass/vjass and just add few GUI examples.

The systems I made is focusing on GUI-users because some of them is too lazy to install JNGP which is needed if you want to alter the data for vJASS/JASS triggers.

 

[-Kobas-]

You can make it vanilla jass so they can use it in regular WE.

Well you count some kills for some hero, example.

Hero kill 3 units
Counter[hero_id] = 3

Hero cast storm bolt and kill unit.
Counter[hero_id] = 4

Hero cast custom made spell that create dummy unit that cast spell and kill unit.
Counter[hero_id] = 4

See problem?
note: Counter isn't array, I just present it that way to explain problem easier.

EDIT:

You can easily create functions in GUI actions, just add:

endfunction
function name takes xxx returns xxx

into custom script, you can create few useful functions like this and move them to top of map triggers or just create triggers without events but you won't be able to use function "takes" easily, you will need globals.

My idea is to add function in this form.
-----------------------------------------------
function RegisterUnit takes unit killer, unit pwner returns nothing
set udg_UNIT_1 = killer
set udg_UNIT_2 = pwner
call SaveUnit(hash, getHandleId (udg_UNIT_1 ) , 0, udg_UNIT_2 )
call SaveUnit(hash, getHandleId (udg_UNIT_2 ) , 0, udg_UNIT_2 )
------------------------------------------------
Then when you kill unit with both dummy or hero you can load unit that will be improved.

• Example
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: endfunction
    • Custom script: function RegisterUnit takes unit killer, unit pwner returns nothing
    • Custom script: set udg_u1 = killer
    • Custom script: set udg_u2 = pwner
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Ofu2 as 0 of (Key u1) in (Last created hashtable)
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Ofu2 as 0 of (Key u2) in (Last created hashtable)

function Trig_Example_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    endfunction
    function RegisterUnit takes unit killer, unit pwner returns nothing
    set udg_u1 = killer
    set udg_u2 = pwner
    call SaveUnitHandleBJ( udg_u2, 0, StringHashBJ("u1"), GetLastCreatedHashtableBJ() )
    call SaveUnitHandleBJ( udg_u2, 0, StringHashBJ("u2"), GetLastCreatedHashtableBJ() )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Example takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Example = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Example, function Trig_Example_Actions )
endfunction

Dummy units shouldn't be dealing damage anyway, so doing that is kind of unneeded

But dummy can cast an actual spell that really deals damage (if lucky enough, kills the target unit).
I'm trying to find somehow to link between dummy unit and the caster itself.

I'll be running with some experiments later on.

plz add the dmg bonus(or skill) configuration gained per lvl
whould be awesome

 

[-Kobas-]

I gave you suggestion above. Save unit that you want to take credits for kills as key of handle of dummy or unit itself. When you detect event load right unit as key of detected unit handle.

 

[Kaizer]

is there a way to type a text message and the unit will like skip to the max rank?

 

[-Kobas-]

No, but you can add that easily using selection event.

Event:
- Player select unit
Conditions:
- Detect is unit levelable
Actions:
- Set that kills variable or whatever for triggering unit to max number.
