[JASS] structs... what the heck

[SOLVED] structs... what the heck

edit: never mind it turns out the problem was I messed up the polar projection. All this time I thought the flaw was in the struct :O

 

[Anachron]

    local thistype this = .dex[0]
    local integer i = 0
    local integer i2 = 0
    local real x = 0.
    local real y = 0.

Always initialize variables to prevent bugs. Same with struct variables.
Anyway, did you debug your whole stuff?

I got the whole thing working, thanks Anachron.

Conclusion:
Try to debug your script before posting.
Imho, you could (debug) nearly every script.

I think I had a total of 20 different BJDebug messages throughout the phases of getting this to work. I posted it because I was about to give up for the night but I saw that fluke with the cosine/sine calculations and realized I still had a chance.

But remember this: We do not know your code as well as you do. And if you have troubles, we will have even more troubles. Keep debugging your code as long as you can be sure that it can't be your fault and that you know the mistake.

set udg_KBA_Caster = this.caster
                set udg_KBA_TargetUnit = this.tar
                set udg_KBA_StartingPosition = loc
                set udg_KBA_Level = this.level
                set udg_KBA_Speed = 7.
                set udg_KBA_DistancePerLevel = 100.
                set udg_KBA_SpecialEffects[1] = "Abilities\\Spells\\Human\\FlakCannons\\FlakTarget.mdl"
                set udg_KBA_SpecialEffects[2] = FX
                set udg_KBA_DestroyTrees = true

why use udg_ prefixes?

Because its a GUI knockback engine.
