Unit Pathing Detection

Status
Not open for further replies.
Currently this spell does not detect obstacles or changes in cliff height so ground units can end up in the middle of trees or in deep water.

//* TimerUtils (red+blue+orange flavors for 1.24b+)
//* ----------
//*
//*  To implement it , create a custom text trigger called TimerUtils
//* and paste the contents of this script there.
//*
//*  To copy from a map to another, copy the trigger holding this
//* library to your map.
//*
//* (requires vJass)   More scripts: htt://www.wc3c.net
//*
//* For your timer needs:
//*  * Attaching
//*  * Recycling (with double-free protection)
//*
//* set t=NewTimer()      : Get a timer (alternative to CreateTimer)
//* ReleaseTimer(t)       : Relese a timer (alt to DestroyTimer)
//* SetTimerData(t,2)     : Attach value 2 to timer
//* GetTimerData(t)       : Get the timer's value.
//*                         You can assume a timer's value is 0
//*                         after NewTimer.
//*
//* Multi-flavor:
//*    Set USE_HASH_TABLE to true if you don't want to complicate your life.
//*
//* If you like speed and giberish try learning about the other flavors.

//* Smooth movement script 2.0 By Moyack. 2009.
//* ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
//*
//* If you use this script, please be nice and give me credits.
//*
//* This library has been designed to simulate movement defined by kinematic parameters.
//*
//* You only need to define the Projectile unit, the position and velocity vectors, 
//* and the time the Projectile will fly. The rest is managed, controlled and destroyed
//* automatically by the library.
//*
//* Additionally, you can define custom "events" when the Projectile starts, moves and ends, 
//* very convenient to set and control the Projectile behaviour.
//*
//* How to use:
//* ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
//* This library has two data types, the vector and the Projectile structs.
//* 
//*  Vector Struct: This struct allows you to group data in the way (X, Y, Z). The vector
//*  type allows the following methods:
//*
//*   - create( real x, real y, real z) returns vector
//*   - setdata(real x, real y, real z) returns nothing
//*   - destroy() returns nothing
//*
//*  The first method allocates a new vector variable and sets at the same time data on it.
//*  The second method allows you to change the data of the vector. The third method destroys
//*  the vector. Example:
//*
//*  function VecStuff takes nothing returns nothing
//*      local vector v = vector.create(0., 10., 20.) // creates a vector [0, 10, 20]
//*      call v.setdata(15., 20., -10.) // changes the values in the vector v to [15, 20, -10]
//*      call v.destroy() // destroys the vector, freeing the memory used.
//*  endfunction
//*
//*  Projectile Struct: This one is the one in charge to do the nice things. This structs
//*  allows the following methods:
//*
//* Aknowledges:
//* ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
//*  - Mad[Lion] because he proposed the problem that inspire me to make this library.
//*  - Pipedream because he had the same apporach, but opposite :) and for the idea of 
//*    partial factoring.
//*  - Vexorian, PitzerMike and all the people involved in the development of vJASS.
//*    without this tool, this idea would be still just that: an idea.

library GroupUtils initializer Init requires optional xebasic
//******************************************************************************
//* BY: Rising_Dusk
//* 
//* This library is a combination of several features relevant to groups. First
//* and foremost, it contains a group stack that you can access dynamic groups
//* from. It also provides means to refresh groups and clear any shadow
//* references within them. The included boolexprs are there for backwards
//* compatibility with maps that happen to use them. Since the 1.24c patch,
//* null boolexprs used in GroupEnumUnits* calls no longer leak, so there is no
//* performance gain to using the BOOLEXPR_TRUE constant.
//* 
//* Instead of creating/destroying groups, we have moved on to recycling them.
//* NewGroup pulls a group from the stack and ReleaseGroup adds it back. Always
//* remember to call ReleaseGroup on a group when you are done using it. If you
//* fail to do so enough times, the stack will overflow and no longer work.
//* 
//* GroupRefresh cleans a group of any shadow references which may be clogging
//* its hashtable. If you remove a unit from the game who is a member of a unit
//* group, it will 'effectively' remove the unit from the group, but leave a
//* shadow in its place. Calling GroupRefresh on a group will clean up any
//* shadow references that may exist within it. It is only worth doing this on
//* groups that you plan to have around for awhile.
//* 
//* Constants that can be used from the library:
//*     [group]    ENUM_GROUP      As you might expect, this group is good for
//*                                when you need a group just for enumeration.
//*     [boolexpr] BOOLEXPR_TRUE   This is a true boolexpr, which is important
//*                                because a 'null' boolexpr in enumeration
//*                                calls results in a leak. Use this instead.
//*     [boolexpr] BOOLEXPR_FALSE  This exists mostly for completeness.
//* 
//* This library also includes a simple implementation of a group enumeration
//* call that factors collision of units in a given area of effect. This is
//* particularly useful because GroupEnumUnitsInRange doesn't factor collision.
//* 
//* In your map, you can just replace all instances of GroupEnumUnitsInRange
//* with GroupEnumUnitsInArea with identical arguments and your spells will
//* consider all units colliding with the area of effect. After calling this
//* function as you would normally call GroupEnumUnitsInRange, you are free to
//* do anything with the group that you would normally do.
//* 
//* If you don't use xebasic in your map, you may edit the MAX_COLLISION_SIZE
//* variable below and the library will use that as the added radius to check.
//* If you use xebasic, however, the script will automatically use xe's
//* collision size variable.
//* 
//* You are also able to use GroupUnitsInArea. This function returns all units
//* within the area, no matter what they are, which can be convenient for those
//* instances where you actually want that.
//* 
//* Example usage:
//*     local group MyGroup = NewGroup()
//*     call GroupRefresh(MyGroup)
//*     call ReleaseGroup(MyGroup)
//*     call GroupEnumUnitsInArea(ENUM_GROUP, x, y, 350., BOOLEXPR_TRUE)
//*     call GroupUnitsInArea(ENUM_GROUP, x, y, 350.)
//*

I currently use this knockback system in my map, could I make use of it?

//**    A system I made that can be used for knockback spells in a variety of          **
//**    applications in a map. User defined variables make it easy to give the desired **
//**    effect for any spell.                                                          **

//**        - A dummy unit. One can be found in this map ('u000')                      **
//**        - The special effects found in the import/export section of this map.      **
//**          They are the "Dust.mdx" and the "SlideWater.mdx". Or you can use your    **
//**          own if you have some.                                                    **

//**    Other Information:                                                             **
//**        - Angle is taken in degrees. But can easily be changed if you know how.    **
//**        - Units will be stopped if they hit the map borders.                       **
//**        - Remember to import the special effect into your map if you need them.    **
//**        - There are two functions that can be used in this system.                 **
//**        - NEW FUNCTION: KBS_BeginCommon() is for all the common knockback uses in  **
//**          your map. It only takes 4 parameters, and use global parameters for Area **
//**          AllowMove and CheckPathing. Making it an icredibly easy function to use. **
//**                                                                                   **
//**    Sliding Distances:                                                             **
//**        - This is some general knowledge on the different distances and how to     **
//**          get them.                                                                **
//**        - Sliding distances have changed in this version of the system.            **
//**        - The function call (KBS_Begin/Ex) now takes distance and duration         **
//**          parameters instead of startspeed and deceleration.                       **
//**        - Therefore the parameter 'Distance' will set the length of the knockback  **
//**          while the parameter 'Duration" will set the time it will take.           **
//**                                                                                   **

//**    Implementation:                                                                **
//**        - First off you need the NewGen world editor. This is a must.              **
//**        - Copy this trigger into your map. Or make a trigger in your map and       **
//**          convert it to custom text. Then copy this text into that trigger.        **
//**        - Now you will either need to export the special effects from this map to  **
//**          your map, or you will need your own. I do not take credit for the        **
//**          special effects found in this map.                                       **
//**        - Once you have the effects in your map. Find the configuration block      **
//**          that is underneath all this green text. Change the WATER_SFX and the     **
//**          DIRT_SFX strings to the ones in your map. These should be the same if    **
//**          you exported the ones from this map.                                     **
//**        - Make sure you have the dummy unit needed. It can be any unit, but i      **
//**          suggest you use the one found in this map, it is labelled 'Dummy Unit'   **
//**          or 'u000'.                                                               **
//**        - Your done! Save your map, make a spell using this system and try it out. **
//**                                                                                   **

//**    - Target        - The unit that will be used in the knockback.                 **
//**    - Distance      - The distance of the knockback (how far the unit will slide). **                 
//**    - Duration      - The duration of the knockback refers to how long the unit    **
//**                      will slide for.                                              **
//**    - Angle         - The angle that the unit will be knocked back at.             **
//**                      THIS MUST BE IN DEGREES. <- Easier for GUI users.            **
//**    - Effect        - This is only used in the extended function. If you do not    **
//**                      want one of the predefined effects, you can choose your own. **
//**                      However, this effect is attached to the unit and removed at  **
//**                      the end, so non-looping or repeating effect wont work.       **
//**    - Area          - This determines whether or not trees will be knocked down.   **
//**                      For trees to be knocked down, a positive number (real) must  **
//**                      be used, such as 150.00, which would give a radius of 150.00 **
//**                      in which trees will be knocked down.                         **
//**                      For trees to not be knocked down, a negative number (real)   **
//**                      must be used, such as -150.00, which would create a radius   **
//**                      that if a tree comes within it, the unit will stop moving.   **
//**                      For none of those effects, the number 0 (0.00) can be used.  **
//**                      This will just cause the units to "bounce" off trees.        **
//**    -Allowmove      - This boolean will decided whether or not you want the unit   **
//**                      to have the ability to move while being knocked back.        **
//**                      "true" will allow them to move, while "false" will not.      **
//**    -CheckPathing   - A boolean that, if true, will check for unpathable terrain   **
//**                      such as a wall or cliff, or where doodads may be. If false   **
//**                      it will ignore these changes and the unit will be pushed     **
//**                      along the wall, cliff or doodad.                             **
//**                                                                                   **
//**       REMEMBER: Positive = trees destroyed, Negative = trees not destroyed.       **
//**                                                                                   **
//**    Example of Usage:                                                              **
//**                                                                                   **
//**  -call KBS_Begin(target,500.00,2.00,270.00,150.00)                                **
//**    or                                                                             **
//**  -call KBS_BeginEx(target,500.00,2.00,270.00,"Effect.mdl",-150.00,true,true)      **
//**                                                                                   **
//**    The first one will cause the target unit of a spell to be knocked back 500.00  **
//**    range over a 2.00 second duration. It will be knocked back at an angle of      **    
//**    270.00, which I'm pretty sure is south, and it will knock down trees within    ** 
//**    a 150.00 radius around the unit.                                               **
//**                                                                                   **
//**    The bottom one of the two will do the exact same as the top, however you are   **
//**    able to choose your own special effect that will be attached to the unit. As   **
//**    you can see, the number for Area (destroying trees) is negative, therefore     **
//**    no trees will be knocked down, and the unit will stop moving if it comes in    **
//**    contact with a tree. There is also an extra boolean nearing end, this is for   **
//**    allowing units to move while sliding. It is true, meaning units are allowed.   **
//**    There is also an added feature that will check for pathable terrain and stop a **
//**    unit if it comes in contact with things such as walls, cliffs or doodads.      **
//**    If true, the unit will stop moving if it comes in direct contact will a wall   **
//**    or cliff.                                                                      **

//**`   - The area specified for destroying trees must be at least 75.00-100.00 range  **
//**      larger than the distance for checking for pathing, which is below in the     **
//**      globals block.                                                               **
//**    - When using KBS_BeginEx() and using either 0.00 or a negative value for the   **
//**      parameter 'Area' (destroying trees) it is better to have CheckPathing as     **
//**      FALSE. This is due to the fact that setting CheckPathing to TRUE will        **
//**      override the 'Area' Parameter and stop a unit if it gets near trees.         **
//**    - Basically what this means is that you cannot get a unit to just 'bounce' off **
//**      trees anymore, it is either destroy trees or get stopped by them.            **

Checking with an item is a bad idea because the item has a
collision size of 16. Most units, like heroes for instance, have
a larger collision size than that (32 is probably the average).

The Infernal has a 48 collision size.

What this means is that it is possible to knock a unit through
an otherwise impassible place using Kenny's Knockback sys,
meaning it is unsafe to use reliably in a map.

In Knockback 2D is the first knockback system I've seen that
actually checks for a myriad of collision sizes.

You've copied/pasted the library SmoothMovSys two times.
And unfortunately it seems that the KnockBack function you are using for the spell, is a part of the library ProjSys which is missing (or at least it isn't inside the versions of the already submitted libraries)

EDIT :

Woot, now that i can see it entirely, the code is really spaghetti and lame, i can't bear it !

i could fix it but really when i see TriggerExecute instead of TriggerEvaluate, TriggerClearActions which doesn't clean up the memory and all, etc ...
Just use a better one, maybe Bribe's one (not checked but it can't be worse than that)

I suppose he will be kind enough to explain how to use it in details (or hurt him hardly)
