------------------------------------------


Trigger 2 (Fade mask)

Unit's life is below 50% run mask every 1 second
game over... run it
etc...


I really need this to complete my map... hope sum1 helps me with this spell...

There, you can easily replace the ability that conerns the effect, by changing the "Bash" in the integer comparison, "Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)". You can also change the texture you're using.

Oh, if you want this to occur only for Player 1 (Red), replace this line:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit()) then

and this line

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then

with this:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then

wow that was fast... ill check the map now... thanks a lot


Edit: it works the way i wanted...
but can you explain to me how it works? if u still have time...
i understand all parts but the hashtable?.. never used it before... what is it for? and what does it do?

Thank again... really big help for my map... +rep and credits on the map...

Well, hashtables are like "cards" for data storage. You can play with saving and loading from them, while every value is held upon a specific/specified object. It's a trial of working around with locals, the ones that Jass uses, so that the global variables do not correspond to global objects. For more about Hashtables, visit the link below:

To be honest, there a few stuff I understood from that tutorial, but check it out, we do not comprehend in the same way I guess. Hashtables was GUI's best extension, since Indexing systems are something I never liked and there could still be some issues on (you can easily make mistakes in that triggering column that hurts your eyes); for a clear trigger I suggest hashtables.

thanks for explaining... can't understand all of it but it helped... can u do me one more thing... can you make a custom script version for the Cinematic Fade out and back action? coz i wanna use in-game textures too... to save more space for my map... its possible to use ingame texture on custom script right? last request.. please?

 

[Pharaoh_]

That "POW!" thing was an in-game texture, you know
There is no file in the Import Manager, if you check...
That custom script doesn't affect the texture used for the fade, it affects what to display on which player.

 

[metal_13]

yes but.. i mean in-game textures not only from the cinematic filter texture list... you can only use custom import or from the list...

 

[Pharaoh_]

Oh, well, the only way to do so is importing those in-game textures again, so that you can use them from the Import list :/
You can also import them to override the cinematic textures, but it's up to you.

Pharaoh_... i tested the map and i got errors on multiplayer... can you check the screen shot...
i think its the "GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit())"
it needs to be "picked player"...

do u know the code for it?
