Swimming and Diving system

[almii]

Is it possilbe to make a swimming and diving system in wc3?

 

[SkriK]

You could make a unit Amphibious and give it a Swim animaiton aswell as a diving animation.

Do you mean something like in this map?

hmmm....this system is great....how can i make this?

Something involving two sets of terrain and fade filters. The map is probably protected, dunno. I'm sure someone could help you with a system like that, but something so big should probably go in requests.

ok thank you for helping +rep

The "system" used in that map is actually made in GUI. And it was made by using a very big map with two playable areas (one for surface and one for underwater). Whenever the submerge spell was used the unit got moved to the other part of the map and the surface map got hidden.
Here's the submerge trigger (Originally made in GUI):

Submerge

function Trig_Submerge_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
 set bj_forLoopAIndex = 1
 set bj_forLoopAIndexEnd = 5
 loop
 exitwhen bj_forLoopAIndex > bj_forLoopAIndexEnd
 call AddSpecialEffectLocBJ( OffsetLocation(GetUnitLoc(udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))]), GetRandomReal(-100.00, 100.00), GetRandomReal(-100.00, 100.00)), "Objects\\Spawnmodels\\Other\\IllidanFootprint\\IllidanWaterSpawnFootPrint.mdl" )
 set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex + 1
 endloop
 if ( Trig_Submerge_Func002C() ) then
 call DisplayCineFilterBJ( true )
 call StopSoundBJ( gg_snd_AboveWater1, true )
 call StopSoundBJ( gg_snd_AboveWater2, true )
 call StopSoundBJ( gg_snd_Wind, true )
 call StopSoundBJ( gg_snd_War3XMainScreen, true )
 call PlaySoundBJ( gg_snd_UnderWater1 )
 call PlaySoundBJ( gg_snd_UnderWater2 )
 call PlaySoundBJ( gg_snd_DullEcho )
 else
 endif
 call SetCameraBoundsToRectForPlayerBJ( GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()), gg_rct_Under_Water )
 call SetUnitPositionLoc( udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))], PolarProjectionBJ(GetUnitLoc(udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))]), 15800.00, 270.50) )
 call SetUnitTimeScalePercent( udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))], 50.00 )
 set udg_Submerged[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))] = true
 call ForGroupBJ( GetUnitsOfPlayerAndTypeId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()), 'h00D'), function Trig_Submerge_Func009002 )
 call SetPlayerAbilityAvailableBJ( false, 'A019', GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()) )
 call SetPlayerAbilityAvailableBJ( true, 'A017', GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()) )
 call RemoveUnit( GetEnteringUnit() )
 
 if ( Trig_Submerge_Func014001() ) then
 call SetUnitPositionLoc( udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))], OffsetLocation(GetUnitLoc(udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))]), 0, 400.00) )
 else
 call DoNothing( )
 endif
 if ( Trig_Submerge_Func015001() ) then
 call SetUnitPositionLoc( udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))], OffsetLocation(GetUnitLoc(udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))]), 0, -800.00) )
 else
 call DoNothing( )
 endif
 if ( Trig_Submerge_Func016001() ) then
 call SetUnitPositionLoc( udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))], OffsetLocation(GetUnitLoc(udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))]), 400.00, 400.00) )
 else
 call DoNothing( )
 endif
 if ( Trig_Submerge_Func017001() ) then
 call SetUnitPositionLoc( udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))], OffsetLocation(GetUnitLoc(udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))]), -800.00, 0.00) )
 else
 call DoNothing( )
 endif
 call PanCameraToTimedLocForPlayer( GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()), GetUnitLoc(udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))]), 0 )
 call TriggerSleepAction( 0.01 )
 set bj_forLoopAIndex = 1
 set bj_forLoopAIndexEnd = 5
 loop
 exitwhen bj_forLoopAIndex > bj_forLoopAIndexEnd
 call AddSpecialEffectLocBJ( OffsetLocation(GetUnitLoc(udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()))]), GetRandomReal(-100.00, 100.00), GetRandomReal(-100.00, 100.00)), "Objects\\Spawnmodels\\Other\\IllidanFootprint\\IllidanWaterSpawnFootPrint.mdl" )
 set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex + 1
 endloop
endfunction

You probably wonder how I know this and how I got that function. The answer is pretty simple, I just used WinMPQ to extract the .j file inside and opened it in Notepad.
PS: You shouldn't use that function because it will not work for your map, but it shouldn't be hard to make another one. That one was made in GUI.

I can try to make that in GUI,, (Sorta convert ot GUI)
Give me some minutes
If you want to, but as Reborn said, it requires 2 regions, and probably quite some other things,, like variables and so on that you dont have or dont need, also, are you willing to make this now region only for the diving?

 

[Super-Sheep]

You are trying to make this into your Arathi Basin map, so units could swim and dive like in WoW? If yes, then dont do it. Its not a worth of that, as it would screw up the whole map and disable a lot of thing, because of bugs etc. :/

Unless being inside water is the point of your map (like that map linked above, which I must say was very awesome at the time it was published), don't use this, as it will take half of your terrain.

You could do the same thing with smaller regions, though (two same sized regions for each part, this way if you have, say, a little lake, it wouldn't take too much space from your terrain).
