[Super-Sheep]

He doesnt turn.

Ur lucky im makin a slidin map too
3 triggers:

• Slide
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Sliding_Units = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Terrain type at (Position of (Matching unit))) Equal to Northrend - Ice))
    • Set Paused_Units = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is paused) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Paused_Units and do (Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Sliding_Units)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Sliding_Units and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Slide_Unit_Loc[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] = ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by (((Real((Level of (Picked unit)))) / 10.00) +
        • *>((Current movement speed of (Picked unit)) / 65.25)) towards (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees)
        • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to Slide_Unit_Loc[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))]
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To Move[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))]
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Sliding_Units)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Paused_Units)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Slide_Unit_Loc[GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit()))+1])

• Turn PointTarget
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Terrain type at (Position of (Triggering unit))) Equal to Northrend - Ice
  • Actions
    • Set Move[(Player number of (Owner of (Ordered unit)))] = (Target point of issued order)
    • Wait 0.04 seconds
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Move[GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))+1])

• Turn UnitTarget
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Terrain type at (Position of (Triggering unit))) Equal to Northrend - Ice
  • Actions
    • Set Move[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] = (Position of (Target unit of issued order))
    • Wait 0.04 seconds
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Move[GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))+1])

This is my basic slide trigger (hopefully) leak free. It is a tag so thats why there is that stuff with the paused unit and whatnot. The speed of the slide is based on the units movespeed and its level. Just add or remove what you need for your purposes.

+rep if this helped you pls

EDIT:
*Made 1 line into 2 so it didnt make the post ginormous*
BTW the turn doesnt work because everytime it moves the unit it makes it stop, so you have to make it move to the target again everytime it moves the unit (instantly)

 

[Super-Sheep]

Thanks.

A more easy way would be to have one trigger wich moves towards facing, and another one, that when order "Smart" or "Move" is issued, the facing angle turn.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Isnt that so?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

His trigger us using waits, and points, mine would look like this:

• Event
  • Every 0.03 seconds
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit group - Pick every unit in (Units in playable map matching (terrain type of position of (matching unit) equal to (Northrend - Ice)
    • Loop - actions
      • Unit - move picked unit to (position of picked unit) offset by 10 towards (facing of picked unit)

• Event
  • Unit is issued an order to target a point
• Conditions
  • Order type of (issued order) equal to order(smart)
• Actions
  • Make (triggering unit) face (target point of issued order) over 0.00 seconds

My trigger there will leak, just look at the "things that leak" thread, and remove them

 

[wolfman]

• Event
  • Unit is issued an order to target a point
• Conditions
  • Order type of (issued order) equal to order(smart)
• Actions
  • Make (triggering unit) face (target point of issued order) over 0.00 seconds

Did you test this out? I didnt, but it seems like the unit would face the direction instantly instead of smoothly turning. With my trigger, it actually makes the unit turn in a smooth motion and the speed in which it turns is actually related to the specific units turn speed (in object editor). Also everytime that the units is moved forward instantly in the actual slide trigger its order is reset to stop.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Yes, i tested it. Somehow, over 0.00 seconds, means over "Turn speed" seconds (A unit with 0.50 turn speed, will use 0.5 seconds to turn). Dont ask me how or why : /

I used that trigger in my map, Vehicle Arena.

 

[wolfman]

Ok but my first trigger (actual slide) is pretty much the same as urs but its leak free. Also using every .01 seconds would prolly be better than every .03 cuz it will make it more smooth. If its too fast then just change the distance to something smaller

 

[Element of Water]

every 0.01 seconds would NOT be better, because it would make the whole think lag. 0.03 seconds is easily low enough to make it look smooth and it's just the right value for it not to lag.

They always say so, but I have never seen this "lag" in any map yet.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Look at my triggers in Vehicle arena, and understand why i dont use 0.01 seconds. The trigger is big enough itself >.<

Didn't make the leak removal of 2 reasons:

1) its easy
2) It was just an example.

Maybe because you have a good computer? It doesn't mean that everybody has.
Why would you ever need something to run 100 times per second when humans can hardly see any difference already at 16?

 

[Super-Sheep]

803mhz processor lol.

 

[Dr Super Good]

wolfman, your triggers leak.
Infact it leaks multiple locations based on the number of units affected. Please do not say it is leak free when it is not.

On average WC3 updates at 60 FPS or lower, thus it is pointless running in 100 times a second as 40 of the updates will not even be graphically visable.
If you want it to look ultra smooth, use 0.02 seconds as already that halfs the recources used to 50 times a second which results in only atmost 10 frames displaying the same data a second.

If your PC is like mine and struggles to pass 30 FPS, then you could lower it even still.

 

[wolfman]

if it lags from every .01 seconds its prolly cuz of leaks, when you do every.03 seconds it will just take longer to lag because it wont leak as fast

 

[wolfman]

Ok i attached a map with slide trigger. It is leak free and very efficient. It also is set up so units can slide faster on certain terrains (like dark ice vs. regular ice).
Brought to you courteosy of Clan BoM Hope it helps

EDIT:
Sorry for double post >.< didnt realize my post was the most recent one

 

[Element of Water]

Delete your post and edit the other then... besides, isn't this necroposting? You should have PMed the map to SuperSheep.

Actually, you shouldn't, because it's crap. Just my opinion.
