[Spell] Some Complex Jump Trigger

[jim7777]

I'm currently making a spell but i can't figure out how to make a unit jump like the one on the following pic..



well most jump systems out there usually do those fly stuffs with arc..

Can anyone give me some sample triggers or such? or just even some math...
I already tried using some little good ol' boolean but it's kinda messy though..

Loop trigger
Event
Every 0.03 seconds
Action
Unit Pick Every Unit In Unit Group (Fly)
Unit Move Picked units to Unit position of Picked Unit with 5 angle unit facing
If unit flying height greater then or equel to lets say 400 then do action set flying height of picked unit to 1.
If flying height of picked unit lesser or equal to 400 then do action set flying heigh of picked unit to arithmetic unit current fllying heigh + 1.

Ofc when unit cast spell the add caster to unit group

I'll get you started on the math required.

I think you're going to need to split the jump into 2 parts.

The first part is z = x^2 / (distance^2)/maxZ)

x initially is 0.
z initially is 0.
distance is the distance between the initial position and the halfway mark of the entire jump (meaning the end of the first part)

maxZ is the max height of the jump in the first part.

If a unit moves by a distance of 4, the current x that should be used is 4, not the difference in x's according to the map's Cartesian system.

When a unit finishes this jump, you would reset x to 0 and do the jump again.

Note: I just made up all the math above using what I know :|

@HammerFist132
that's pretty simple and isn't that accurate nor smooth enough but thanks anyway

@mag
can't understand this part

If a unit moves by a distance of 4, the current x that should be used is 4, not the difference in x's according to the map's Cartesian system.

When a unit finishes this jump, you would reset x to 0 and do the jump again.

any code sample i guess?

 

[Magtheridon96]

When you move a unit, you're going to move him by increasing his x by distance * Cos(angle), right?

For my function to work correctly, you should add the distance without multiplying by the cosine of the angle.

edit
Actually, I'm really not sure at all :|
My method could work, but it's likely to fail as well.

ok i should try in a test map

EDIT:

lol can't really understand that part.. D:
sample codes pleaseee lol

i guess i should try some old fashioned approach.. let's see
