Super Advanced Shoot System

[Moderator]

12th Dec 2015
IcemanBo: For long time as NeedsFix. Rejected.

Bribe:

>> Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds

Unless you are creating a multiboard, this event should be Map Initialization. So your QuiverSetup trigger needs a change.

>> Every 0.01 seconds of game time

Turn that to 0.03, reduces lag but preserves realism.

>>Set Angle = (Angle from (Position of Caster) to Location)

Leaks (Position of Caster)

>>Unit - Create 1 Arrow for (Owner of Caster) at ((Position of Caster) offset by 2.00 towards Angle degrees) facing Angle degrees

Leaks (Position of Caster) and the offset-position.

>>Set Damage = (Random integer number between 8 and 14)

8 and 14 should be configurable.

>>Unit - Move Arrow instantly to ((Position of Arrow) offset by 8.00 towards Angle degrees

Two location leaks

>>Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 50.00 of (Position of Arrow) matching ((((Matc

A location leak and a unit group leak. Use the bj_wantDestroyGroup custom script to clear this leak.

There are a lot more leaks and problems.

Needs a LOT of work.

 

[Midnighters]

Please attach the triggers in the description.

Also, I tested this, and nothing happens, at all.

 

[wc3_n00b]

Hmmm, now it should be working properly.

 

[Archangel678]

This is not MUI.

You do not destroy your special effects.

You leak points. (Position of Unit) -> Leaks. Set it to a variable and destroy it.

Use a .03 loop, .01 is too fast.

I'd suggest looking at the tutorials.

 

[mckill2009]

If you're asking what is MUI?, well...

I placed 2 units, unit 1 & unit 2...unit 1 pressed Q, but unit 2 can fire the bow!...conclusion, not MUI...

 

[Adiktuz]

Why is this even named Super Advanced Shooting System? It will just bring it down rather than make it more desirable, as something named Super Advanced that is not living up to expectations is EPIC FAIL...

anyway, post triggersssssss

 

[wc3_n00b]

Hmm its a bit wierd that you guys are telling me that this is not MUI when it says GUI triggers, and also.. i have tried the spell several times to look for leaks, and i can't find any leaks.

 

[Adiktuz]

a spell/system being MUI is a requirement for approval... its not a type of coding or whatever... and they already told you what MUI is...

leaks are something that you find on the triggers and not by testing it in-game...

and could you post your triggers?

 

[wc3_n00b]

And also, this spell is only to be used by 1 archer at a time the spell is not made for example custom melee maps where you have several of them, its for RPGS or perhaps Mini Game arenas where more archers battle against eachother, and if you have so much experience with triggering as you all claim to have, then what is so hard about making the booleans, reals, integers, units and locations array triggers, then at cast just set it to =E.x "Set Variable = Dummy [(Player Number of(owner of (triggering unit)))] , but thanks everyone for the critiques, i shall update the spell as soon as this is fixed i suppose.

 

[Adiktuz]

sorry but, a spell/system resource is REQUIRED to be usable by any number of units at the same time without problems...

you should learn to read the rules... http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/faq/spellrules/#faq_spellperforms

also, resources should be as user-friendly as possible... because there will be a lot of people with only a bit of triggering knowledge who might use your spell...

and also, Set Variable = Dummy [(Player Number of(owner of (triggering unit)))] will just make it MPI (meaning one unit per player can use it), but still not MUI...

 

[Magtheridon96]

This system could've been epic if it was written without any leaks, lag, etc...
It MUST be MUI.
Can I make one?

 

[Adiktuz]

I suppose that would be better... ^_^

but I still don't know what it really do... haha...

 

[Marcos DAB]

If improved is very useful.

 

[Vehster]

Currently this can only be MPI.... if it is MUI then it destroys what he wanted to make for us, unless someone can make a multiboard per unit.

 

[Magtheridon96]

The multiboard is redundant.
You only need the system's core
Again .. It MUST be MUI

 

[Vehster]

Quite messy and needs to be fixed wc3 n00b.

@wc3_n00b,
you can always combine the setup for the arrow max, and current ammo with the multiboard to save space,
Like so :

Triggers #1

• Setup
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Ammo = 20
    • Set MaximumAmmo = 20
    • Set BowStrung = False
    • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 1 columns and 3 rows, titled Quiver
    • Set Quiver = (Last created multiboard)
    • Multiboard - Set the width for Quiver item in column 1, row 1 to 10.00% of the total screen width
    • Multiboard - Set the width for Quiver item in column 1, row 2 to 12.00% of the total screen width
    • Multiboard - Set the width for Quiver item in column 1, row 3 to 18.00% of the total screen width
    • Multiboard - Set the icon for Quiver item in column 1, row 1 to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNTrueShot.blp
    • Multiboard - Set the icon for Quiver item in column 1, row 2 to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNImprovedBows.blp
    • Multiboard - Set the text for Quiver item in column 1, row 1 to (Arrows: + ( + ((String(Ammo)) + ( | + ( + (String(MaximumAmmo)))))))
    • Multiboard - Set the text for Quiver item in column 1, row 2 to (Bow Strung: + |CFFED1C24No|r)
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for Quiver item in column 1, row 3 to Show text and Hide icons
    • Multiboard - Show Quiver
    • Multiboard - Minimize Quiver
    • Multiboard - Maximize Quiver

But also what is the point of this trigger?

Is this needed

• Loop Quiver
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiboard - Set the text for Quiver item in column 1, row 1 to (Arrows: + ( + ((String(Ammo)) + ( | + ( + (String(MaximumAmmo)))))))
    • Multiboard - Set the text for Quiver item in column 1, row 3 to (|CFFED1C24Damage Done: + ( + ((String(DamageDone)) + |r)))

Oh hai thar!

 

[Anonno]

Adiktuz what about you go make the triggers for us and then post them in a new threat? Lolz...

 

[Adiktuz]

huh? what triggers? and FYI, I don't take requests and I'm so busy with RL stuff...
