[Trigger] Skill "Throw Ball"

[ThaSHeep]

Heya

I got another problem.

If a unit comes near to the ball (unit), the ball hides and the unit gets the skill "Throw Ball" and an attachment to its right hand (the ball).

Till this point, it works. But:
I'd like to have a Skill, which throws the ball to a targeted point (on the ground). It should look like a pass/shoot to that point (with the Ball as projectile)

Oh, and you should be able to select the point, where the ball should be throwed.





I know, it doesn't sound easy, if you need more information, just ask

Thx!


Ps: Paint ftw!

It's actually pretty easy, if you know a bit physics. Jass would be needed if you want this to be MUI and not to be coded like crap.

no it wouldnt?

just make a projectile with nega regen and check its health and change height based on that

The snowball would only fall down then, without the arc movement he wants to achieve. Unless you make some trigger that inverts the units health amount above certain amount, which would be easy to do.

Anyway jass is a better solution for arc-like movements etc.

its really easy to make it arc. i guess it wont look as good as jass tho.

max hp is 100

if more than 50 hp make him go his hp -50 up. if its less than 50 make him go 50 - [his hp] down.

Thx for the fast replys, but how do you mean it? (Unit, Dummys, Triggers etc.)

Oh btw. it's a football and not a snowball^^

Thats exactly what i was talking about. But it will look very steep and sudden anyways, more like a triangle than an arc.

how so?

 

[ThaSHeep]

Well I understand the thing with the degeneration now, but how has a such trigger to look?

 

[raft_pl]

Unless you make the trigger/code more complex than just increasing/decreasing flying height by a value based on hp's, it will look like a triangle, fly up to one point and then suddenly start falling.

on 51 hp the height will raise by one. i dont see how this looks like a triangle.

 

[ThaSHeep]

Omg^^ Stop fighting and tell me, how a trigger like that looks.

I know what you mean, but how can I set it, that it has the highest position in the middle of the way to the targeted point?

 

[doom_sheep]

im feeling really lazy <_<

u know how to make dummy projectiles? every 0.04 secs move it etc

create 2 other triggers that have condition his hp

the one thats more than 50 set his height to his current hieght plus (his hp minus 50)

the other one would be set his height current height minus (50 minus his hp)

make the move trigger run them both checking conditions. u need to set tempunit = picked unit so u can refer to it on them.

 

[ThaSHeep]

& how i have to set the dummy unit's regen? Else it will go up always (hp -50) and down (hp + 50) and stay on the same height..

Oh btw gz for your (comming) 100th post^^

(btw check out my new avatar xD)

The first part is what will happen when you do it your way.

If that's what you want, you can simply increase and decrease the unit's height over time, based on the distance, no need for all this unnecessary calculations.

If you want a real parabola like the second part, you'll need to use smarter calculations -.-

edited a little. now it creates an item at the landing point

I did something just like this for a basketball game I'm making. I used storm bolt spell changed the model file to my basketball's model and changed the arc to 1.0. One problem is the ball was bigger then it should have been. Try other spells and change their model they use to your ball's. Much easier then trying to simulate an arc with JASS/triggers. Unit casts "throw" remove the attachment wait x seconds and move the actual ball the the position of the ability being cast/unhide ball.

 

[doom_sheep]

just copy the stuff from the map i posted. its pretty simple.

Pwnt? First off, you see it jumping from place to place (I.E: teleporting).

And of course, you can't control it's states.
How exactly do you throw to other distances? Ops... you can't.
How can you change arcs? Ops... you can't.
If you ever want to add things like mass or stuff like that... you can't.

thats the same with slide unit triggers. why dont u go cry about them?

u can. edit its hp and trigger values.

If you ever want to add things like mass or stuff like that... you can't.

u were claiming

now i should have physics? lol


@ThaSHeep

do u need it MUI? im making it so u can target it to a point.

Ty! Excatly that what I asked Great work!
+ rep

2 other things:
- The H in my name was a mistake, so call me ThaSheep
- The Unit casting this skill should be able to run while it uses the skill (like when you use Windwalk/I tried it with windwalk but it still haves the buffs (yes I ofc removed them in the copied skill))

But great work anyway

two words: Jump Parabola

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

Ps. if u dont use jass its possible to use it in GUI also.

• Custom script: call JumpParabola("Current Dist","Max Range","Curve")

@ doom_sheep

using parabola will remove your up, down and death triggers
