[Solved] Unit regenerating hp in water

[_lycan]

So i need a trigger to make a unit regenerate 2 hp per second in water when the player researched an ability. x.x

 

[Spartipilo]

Periodic loop. Once the unit learns the ability every 1 second check if the unit is standing on water and do the healing.

 

[Derdan]

I tested these triggers out and they work fine. Once you research Naga Siren Adept Training, Naga Sirens will regenerate in deep water only.

• Heal Upgrade
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
    • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Naga Siren Adept Training
  • Actions
    • Set HealsInWater[(Player number of (Owner of (Researching unit)))] = True
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Execution count of (This trigger)) Greater than or equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on Heal In Water <gen>
      • Else - Actions

• Heal In Water
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer Int) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • HealsInWater[Int] Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Player(Int)) of type Naga Siren) and do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
                • Set Point = (Position of (Picked unit))
                • Custom script: set udg_Real = GetLocationZ( udg_Point )
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • Real Less than or equal to 166.40
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Picked unit) using Objects\InventoryItems\Rune\Rune.mdl
                    • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + 1.00)
                  • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

 

[Spartipilo]

Too complicated.

Just add the unit when it receives the ability to a unit group, and loop the group every 1 second.

 

[Maker]

You can do this if the real condition does not work.

(Terrain pathing at Point of type Floatability is off) Equal to False

And remember to remove the point variable. Also filter out dead units.

A better solution is to use Unit enters map, if condition then add unit to group. Only pick those units in group. Also add existing units to group when the research is finished.

 

[_lycan]

Hmm but the map i'm trying to implement this is azeroth wars like, won't it generate lag?

 

[Spartipilo]

1 second loop? not at all. (Unless you leak...)

 

[_lycan]

Instead of this

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Player(Int)) of type Naga Siren) and do (Actions)

how can i do it so it so it picks all naga units with the ability researched?

 

[Spartipilo]

Create a Group, detected when a unit of that type enters the map, and add it to the group.

 

[Derdan]

I did not know that this existed: (Terrain pathing at Point of type Floatability is off) Equal to False

Let me make a simpler trigger that is worthy of pleasing Spartipilo.

This works:

• Heal Upgrade
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
    • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Naga Siren Adept Training
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Researching unit)) of type Naga Siren) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to UnitsThatHealInWater
    • Set HealsInWater[(Player number of (Owner of (Researching unit)))] = True
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Execution count of (This trigger)) Greater than or equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on Heal In Water <gen>
      • Else - Actions

• Add Units
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • HealsInWater[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to UnitsThatHealInWater
      • Else - Actions

• Heal In Water
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitsThatHealInWater and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Point = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Terrain pathing at Point of type Floatability is off) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + 1.00)
          • Else - Actions

I have Heal In Water off at first so the game goes a little faster until someone researches Nada Siren Adept Training. Also, this probably goes much much faster than my past trigger. Enjoy!

Woah thanks man +rep!

 

[Derdan]

No problem... I just hope the triggers are agreeable with Spartipilo

 

[Spartipilo]

1. Pick Every Unit of Type LEAKS. Instead Pick Every Unit and do "If Unit Type of Picked Unit = xxx, then..."

2. (Owner of (Researching unit)) is used twice. Store it into a variable in the trigger beginning, and use the variable instead.

3. After " Trigger - Turn on Heal In Water <gen>" use "Custom script: call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())or "DestroyTrigger(gg_trg_Heal Upgrade)"

4. In "Add Units" trigger you have to filter the unit type, since you only heal Naga types.

5. "Heal In Water" trigger Leaks position: Also repeats several times the "Picked Unit", Set Picked Unit to a variable and use the variable instead. Also I would prefer adding a Life Regeneration ability rather than triggering the life modification

set u = Picked Unit
set L = Life Of u
Unit - set life of u = L + 1

Unit - set life of u = L + 1

OK, OK, you're right on all these points.

1. Done
2. Done
3. If the map is multiplayer then this change should not be implemented
4. Done
5. I would prefer that too, but I suck with abilities and it would require more triggers to make the ability invisible if he wanted to

I would advise using these triggers instead to avoid leaks.

About 3: You're right about the Multiplayer thing.
About 5: There are works around, like Fountain Life Regeneration, which doesn't display. With 2 levels, healing 0 at lvl 1, and 2 at lvl 2. Doesn't matter pretty much anyway

New 1: Add a trigger to remove units that die from the group.
New 2: Now my new and most aggresive suggestion- Turn everything to JASS, use locals, remove BJ's, optimize code in general.
New 3: No need for this on the first trigger: Set Unit = (Researching unit). You can use (Triggering Player) instead of (Owner of(Unit))
New 4: No need for this

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• (Execution count of (This trigger)) Greater than or equal to 1
• Then - Actions
• Trigger - Turn on Heal In Water <gen>

Just turn on the Heal in Water. If the trigger runs twice, it won't do anything, it won't turn on the other trigger twice.

New 5: Before the Unit Group Declaration in the firs trigger (Units owned by...) add a Custom Script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true.

set u = Picked Unit

I know about the custom scripts i added 2 i don't see the problem with the other things though


Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_unitsthathealinwater)
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Pointwater)


BTW why do you people insist in using naga siren? i said i want for ALL naga units who have the passive, making 6 triggers for each of the naga will generate more lag than using the old one wouldn't it?


and no thanks i don't want a jass trigger as it's a pain in the ass to import you gotta import libraries and all that shit

 

[edo494]

why would you need to import libraries? with plain Jass you dont need to import anything, just rewriting this 3 triggers doesnt require any vJass at all so you dont need to do anything outside the trigger editor

 

[Spartipilo]

Actually, you just have to Copy/Paste and maybe edit two or three global values

This MUST NOT BE DONE: Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_unitsthathealinwater). You need that group.

Then just filter the units with the ability instead of the unit type.

what do you mean by filter the units of the ability? o.o how do i do that

 

[Spartipilo]

If you destroy that group, where are you going to hold the units with the ability?

When a unit enters the map, if it has the ability, add it to the group.

A unit enters playable map area
If Level of HealInWater of TriggeringUnit > 0
Add unit to HealInwaterGroup.

 

[_lycan]

I was trying with this:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=vih836


(Also tried without Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_unitsthathealinwater)

if i use that filtering will that trigger work? because when i tried with this it didn't work

 

[Spartipilo]

1. This is the unit group you have to destroy placing "set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true" before declaring it: (Units owned by (Owner of unit)). Besides, the owner of a generic unit event can always be referenced as (Triggering Player), so, no need for (Owner of (Unit)).

2. Instead of a long chain of If Then else with Unit Type Comparisons, just add the ability to those units, and check if the unit has the ability (level of ability is > 0)

3. THIS IS BAD

• (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Naga Royal Guard
• (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Naga Myrmidon
• (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Naga Siren
• (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Naga Summoner

This is GOOD

• Level of HealINwater for (Triggering Unit) is greater than 0

4. No need for this. The trigger will turn on anyway. No need for a comparison check, mostly because it will always be true.

• Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• (Execution count of (This trigger)) Greater than or equal to (>=) 1
• Then - Actions
• Trigger - Turn on Heal In Water <gen>
• Else - Actions

5. No need for this: " Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_unitsthathealinwater)" In fact, that's what screwing things up. You're destroying the group where you're holding your units. That group must not be destroyed.

6- Special effect leak

• Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Picked unit) using war3mapImported\Large Bubbles.mdx

Remember to destroy it.

 

[_lycan]

works perfectly spartiplo but there's a problem, the naga units that are in the map before researching the upgrade don't get the regeneration even after i research it :S


here are the new triggers:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=y9m764

 

[Spartipilo]

1. On "Mend Upgrade" trigger replace "Owner of Unit" with (Triggering Player). How many times do I have to say it?.

2. You're leaking. set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true before declaring the "Units owned by (Triggering Player)". I've said it tons of times too.

3. I hope you see it
Set unit = (Picked unit)
Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Level of Naga Mend (Naga) for (Triggering unit)) Greater than (>) 0

In this case the Triggering Unit is the Researching Unit... doesn't makes sense
