REPUTATION
For the people who care, I give +Rep to any user who explained even just a single trigger.
Also if you tried to help, you get +Rep too.
If I somehow can't +Rep you today, I'll try it again tomorrow.
And if I forget to +Rep you, PM or VM me.

To users who disabled reputation, I'll just leave a friendly VM to them.

Thanks!​

Just posting your trigger............and nice spam about rep. It's pretty sad what people would do for it.

And it would be faster for you to TEST those actions. I don't see why anyone here needs to tell you what every action in the world editor does.

And no, I don't want your rep.

 

[Squidle]

Hmh... Thank you >_<"

I just thought maybe someone could help me....
And yeah, some people are interested in reputation, So i'll notice I give it to them.

• Animation - Change (Triggering unit) prop window angle to 0.00-i swear thats useless
• Animation - Queue (Last created unit)'s stand animation-useless with stand animation cause a unit play its stand animation anyway.You may use this with lets say Attack aniamtion to make a unit attack the air all the time.This is could be used for spells.
• Animation - Change (Triggering unit) blend time to 0.00-so far as i know this is how fast parts of the model of the unit could change thier dirction.This may could be used to simulate fast acck aniamtions but im not sure
• -------- Animation madness... --------
• Cinematic - Flash a speech indicator for (Last created unit) of color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency-never heard never used

• Cinematic - Disable boundary tinting for (All players)-makes the boundarys black like you watching a movie
• -------- Cinematic triggers, never seen 'em... --------
• Unit - Suspend corpse decay for (Triggering unit)-use this on a dead unit to let his corpse stay forever
• Unit - Pause the expiration timer for (Triggering unit)-use this on a summon to stop the timer till its die(makes a summoned unit life forever)
• Unit - Turn collision for (Last created unit) Off-After using this the unit is able to go trough everything like other units trees buildings.
• -------- I'm kinda... out of comments, just explain them! --------
• Destructible - Set the occlusion height of (Last created destructible) to 128.00

Slayer... YOU'RE AWESOME!
Thank you so much for this!

 

[SlayerII]

No problem i always want help

 

[Super-Sheep]

I'd like tho hear more about ubersplats. :/

 

[Squidle]

I'd like tho hear more about ubersplats. :/

Same here.

 

[Smiddle]

I tried this action:
Ubersplat - Create ubersplat at (Player 1 (Red) start location) of type Goldmine with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency (Disable paused state, Disable skipping birth time)

And it did nothing :/

 

[Cokemonkey11]

I thought ubersplats were those huge paint looking things that popup on ur screen...

 

[Squidle]

I thought ubersplats were those huge paint looking things that popup on ur screen...

Uhm, popups? do you mean Dialogs?

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

I thought Ubserspalts were what you used to change terrain, rofl. And he means an image on your screen, not dialogs.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Mooglefrooglian's got what I thought they were

 

[Deolrin]

Ubersplat = that thing that is left on the ground after a building dies or a Mortar Team shoots, iirc.

 

[Squidle]

Aha, thanks debode!

But could you make an example trigger for it, please?
Also with the loop thingy (Integer A), please.

 

[Deolrin]

I know nothing about triggers... Ubersplat is a modeling term for me :/

 

[Reaper2008]

I think it creates effects.

PS: For craters etc, use terrain deformation.

 

[PurplePoot]

Occluder/Occlusion Height has to do with how objects block vision versus short or tall units.

Propulsion Window is the range of angles a unit can hit a target at: for example, a unit with a propulsion window of 15.00 facing 75.00 degrees can hit units from 60.00 to 90.00 degrees relative to itself without turning (Or I may have this wrong and it would be 82.5/67.5, but I'm pretty sure it's one-sided and not two-sided).

Speech Indicators are just the flashing white selection circles used in cinematics to notify the user who is talking.

Blend Time is the time during which a unit will transition from the ending keyframe of one animation to the starting keyframe of the next to make otherwise choppy transitions look smooth; for example, a footman "lying down" (playing its death animaion) with a blend time of 0.00 would appear to teleport up if Stand was played, but rise up if the blend time was 1.00.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Ubersplat are those *.blp images left on the ground once a certain effect takes place.
For example, the circle that is left on the ground (and displays in the fog of war) after a unit casted Mass Teleport, that is an ubersplat. To make an ubersplat, create it at the point you desire and then do "Ubersplat - Change (Last created ubersplat): Enable render always state". Each ubersplat has a default specified duration, which cannot be changed, but you can do the trick of "Ubersplat - Create ubersplat at Point of type Undead Uber Splat with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency (Enable paused state, Disable skipping birth time)", while you destroy it whenever you want with the action: "Ubersplat - Destroy (Last created ubersplat)". Here is a test map: View attachment Ubersplats.w3x

I thought ubersplats were those huge paint looking things that popup on ur screen...

That is the "Cinematic - Fade out and back in over 2.00 seconds using texture Splatt! and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency" action
