Terrain Pathing?

[Kwah]

I have a spell.

• Dig
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Dig
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Environment - Change terrain type at TempPoint1 to Village - Dirt using variation -1 in an area of size 2 and shape Circle
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)

It sets the terrain type under the unit to dirt. Unfortunately it does not set the pathing. I need to find a way to set the pathing of the area to buildable. A screen shot of what the ability does is included.

500th post!!

• Environment - Set terrain pathing at somePoint of type someType to On

 

[Kwah]

Yes but the point is very small. I have an AOE of dirt.

Terrain squares are 128x128.

Pathing squares are 32x32.

Therefore, loop through the appropriate number of 32x32 areas. (In this case, 12 horizontal and 12 vertical, with the edges cut off).

 

[Kwah]

Yes. But how would i set the location points to change pathing.
Brute offsetting?

Thanks for math. You are math god. (not that that that math was hard)

 

[Skudgemuffin]

You could change the placement requirements to ground-pathable and have a trigger check if the structure is on dirt.

Do you know jass ?
I've made functions for that in the submissions section

 

[Kwah]

Unfortunatly I know very little JASS. Possibly enough to implement your system. Will Give credit if I use it. Thanks.

 

[Troll-Brain]

really easy to use

if you can use the jassnewgenpack just copy/paste the library in an empty trigger, or in the custom code window.
If you can't use jasshelper remove the words debug,library,endlibrary and copy/paste the functions in the custom code window

example of use :

call SetCircleTerrainPathable(GetLocationX(udg_TempPoint1),GetLocationY(udg_TempPoint1), 128.0,PATHING_TYPE_BUILDABILITY,true)

ofc instead of 128.0 use the size you want

btw you can avoid using a location and use directly GetUnitX() and GetUnitY()

 

[Kwah]

Uhhh, no idea.

Not that JASS competent.

Don't thnk i will use this method.

 

[Troll-Brain]

what didn't you understood ?

 

[Kwah]

Umm, most of it.


REALLY BEGINNER JASS. Not even enough to really call JASS.

 

[Troll-Brain]

function SetCircleTerrainPathable takes real xc,real yc,real radius,pathingtype t,boolean b returns boolean

this function change the pathing for a circle, and return true if it was done and false if not, but you can ignore this return.

xc -> it's the x coordinate of the center of the circle
yc -> it's the y coordinate of the center of the circle
radius -> it's the radius of the circle
t -> it's the pathingtype, you can found the constants with jasscraft for example or convert in jass a gui function.
b -> true -> turn on the pathing ; false -> turn off the pathing

that's better ?

 

[Kwah]

Thanks alot. +rep and credit if I ever do anything with the map

 

[GhostWolf]

Why do you even want to use Jass when you don't know it and you have the function for GUI ? That makes no sense at all.

It does the entire thing for him in one call, rather than him having to do it 32x32 square by 32x32 square.

 

[Kwah]

Yes, that is why.
