[JASS] Teleport back and forth

[Silva]

I searched for a JASS system/code here that allows teleportation of units from place to place (like a gate-way) but couldn't find any, if anyone can direct me to it, I'd be thankful.

If not, can anyone of the JASS gurus check if there is anything wrong with this trigger then ? its purpose is what the title says

function Warps_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    //from 0 to 2 because there are 3 regions that transport back and forth (3 entrances and 3 exits) 
    set iLoop[1] = 0
    set iLoopEnd[1] = 2
    loop
        exitwhen iLoop[1] > iLoopEnd[1]
        //if on entering side
        if RectContainsUnit( Entrance[iLoop[1]], GetEnteringUnit() ) then
            //Camera adjustments and teleportation
            call IssueImmediateOrderBJ( GetEnteringUnit(), "stop" )
            call SetUserControlForceOff( bj_FORCE_PLAYER[0] )
            call SetCameraTargetControllerNoZForPlayer( Player(0), GetEnteringUnit(), 0, 0, false )
            call SetUnitPositionLocFacingBJ( GetEnteringUnit(), Point[iLoop[1]], 90.00 )
            call TriggerSleepAction( 0.50 )
            call SetCameraBoundsToRectForPlayerBJ( Player(0), Visibility[iLoop[1]] )
            call TriggerSleepAction( 0.50 )
            call ResetToGameCameraForPlayer( Player(0), 1.00 )
            call SetUserControlForceOn( bj_FORCE_PLAYER[0] )
            call CreateFogModifierRectBJ( true, Player(0), FOG_OF_WAR_VISIBLE, Visibility[iLoop[1]] )
        //if on exiting side
        elseif RectContainsUnit( Exit[iLoop[1]], GetEnteringUnit() ) then
            //Camera adjustments and teleportation
            call SetUserControlForceOff( bj_FORCE_PLAYER[0] )
            call SetCameraTargetControllerNoZForPlayer( Player(0), GetEnteringUnit(), 0, 0, false )
            call SetUnitPositionLocFacingLocBJ( GetEnteringUnit(), Another_Point[iLoop[1]], Direction[iLoop[1]] )
            call TriggerSleepAction( 0.50 )
            call SetCameraBoundsToRectForPlayerBJ( Player(0), GetPlayableMapRect() )
            call TriggerSleepAction( 0.50 )
            call ResetToGameCameraForPlayer( Player(0), 1.00 )
            call SetUserControlForceOn( bj_FORCE_PLAYER[0] )
        endif
        set iLoop[1] = iLoop[1] + 1
    endloop
endfunction

I am almost certain there is a system specifically titled "gateway system"

edit: apparently not, but isn't this what you want?: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...-5-a-269034/?prev=search=teleport&d=list&r=20

This is similar but now quite what I'm looking for.

What happens when you run your current trigger? Does it run? Does it crash?

First focus on registering when a unit enters the the region. Try to display a game message (e.g. call BJDebugMsg("Entered!")), it'll be an easy way to check that the trigger event is working just fine.

Next, try porting the unit instantly to the other location. However, there is a catch. If you move the unit to the other region, then that will fire the "entered rect" event.

Let's say you have region A and region B. When a unit enters region A, he'll be moved to region B. When a unit enters region B, he'll be moved to region A. If you aren't careful, this can infinitely loop. The fix is to disable the trigger before moving the unit, and enable it afterward:

call DisableTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())
call SetUnitPositionLocFacingBJ( GetEnteringUnit(), Point[iLoop[1]], 90.00 )
call EnableTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

Once you get the teleportation down, try working on the camera movement/etc. Let us know what works and what doesn't, and we'll help you get it functional.

Does your init function have the same name as the actual trigger itself?

Also, where are you defining iLoop[] and iLoopEnd[]? I see that it's not a udg, but i also see that it is not defined as a local. The same goes for all your other variables.
