[General] Two easy questions (but not very easy :D)

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Hi guys. Again, I have some questions:
1/ How can I change the icon of the worker (Human)?
2/ How can I makes a Hero (not maximum level) cannot gain any experience and wont make other hero share the exp gain?

 

[Binsu]

No.1 question: You mean changing Idle worker icon? Have a look at this: Idle Worker Icon

No.2 Question: You can just use this trigger for the work to disable experience EXP gain:

• Hero - Disable experience gain for (Triggering unit)

and for the exp gain not to affect ther heroes or share you can refer to this thread maybe: Hero Gain EXP Range

1 more question: I'm using a loop trigger to move a unit from point to point (like some missle system). How can I make the unit play the animation from the start of the spell until the spell end and how can I make a perfect timing that when the spell end, the animation is also finish.

 

[Binsu]

Well, Im not hat use to triggering and such so I'm afraid I dont know the answer to that, very sorry.

 

[deathismyfriend]

look at the chapter in my tutorial Things a GUIer should know that shows you how to use SetUnitX/Y

They do not disrupt orders like the GUI action unit - move unit instantly does

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Already try that . But didnt work . I'll post the triggers.

P/S: It seems like the idle worker icon problem hasnt been solved yet. I tried to put the "," between each file path but after I test the map, it only have the first file path left. :|.

Store triggering unit and anything else used twice or more.

Your setting the animation after you call SetUnitX/Y
SetUnitX/Y doesn't stop animations so when you rest the animation you are defeating the purpose of using them over the GUI action.

Also use 0.03 timer instead of 0.04

 

[Vinz]

Anims.. There was another thread like that here. I think it might help you.

Set the unit's Animation Speed by the GUI action.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

... U've told me that many time .
Wrathion: I know that too. However, there was a little problem that my target is moving around, not standing still therefore distance will also changed while speed is keeping the same => Time changed overtime.

 

[Vinz]

Distance between target point and caster point? You mean the missile will follow a target?

Edit: That's a problem. Either predict whether the target will move or use the method above and make the missile fast?

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Yeah. Homing type. Not missle but the caster . I use the Caster as missle ) since the spell will help him run to the target .
This ability is Unit Target => Target Point = Position of Target.
