Using unit arrays like unit groups

envenger · Jul 4, 2013

Is there a way by which unit arrays can be used as unit groups? Like adding the units in a aoe to a unit group?

I thought of something like this. Using a Damage detection system. First 1 will damage in a aoe around a unit for 0.01 damage. Add all units that are damaged to a unit array. Are there any better methods?

Which is more efficient? Adding units to unit array by this method or unit group by the other method?

I think the old way is better. Using unit group, u can easily check or remove the unit from it. While using Unit Array Variable, it is more difficult to check them. By the way, what do u need it for?

The spell is shadowball

It throws a shadow ball(dummy unit) at a direction. It damages any unit it touches but only once. I add damaged units in a unit array and check them if the units present in the group are already present in the unit array or not.

Now the problem is the spell is MUI but inside the loop, the loop new units are not assigned to the group if 2 casts are taking place simultaneously.

I used index arrays to make it MUI

The trigger is here but its too complicated for anyone to understand.

Basically my problem is when the loop turns 2 times new units are not added to the group. Is there any non triggered way to make a unit damage another unit in its aoe but only once?(something like dota's nerubian weaver)

Too bad. I dont know about MUI. But it can be easily done in GUI though.

DivineLight · Jul 4, 2013

create group using this:
Custom script: set udg_YourGroupVar[udg_IndexVar] = CreateGroup()
then you add picked unit in AoE to YourGroupVar
use this

Unit Group - add picked unit to YourGroupVar

when you done with the spell, destroy it
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_YourGroupVar[udg_IndexVar])
i don't know you did it in either GUI or Jass but both can be done

deathismyfriend · Jul 4, 2013

change this

JASS:

local group shadowballgroup

to this

JASS:

local group shadowballgroup = CreateGroup()

the problem is ur never creating the group.
also this is jass everyone not GUI.

change this

JASS:

call TriggerRegisterTimerEventPeriodic( gg_trg_ShadowBall_Dot, 0.20 )

to this

JASS:

call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent( gg_trg_ShadowBall_Dot, 0.20, true)

and still when using jass anything u use twice or more store into a variable and use the variable

u should also learn how to properly indent.

yes i know GUI jass and vJass. and i can read zinc never tried writing a full trigger with it tho. i like the vJass syntax more

yup its GUI to jass so it shows what turns into what and how it should be used to familiarize everything.

I had done that.. For testing I changed it.. Its in the first trigger I posted.

I don't want array of groups. I want an array to function like a group.

---edit----

How does "Shukuchi" work of dotas Nerubian Weaver. Basically It deals damage to the target it touches but only once not more than once till a duration.

When u go through a unit, check if that unit is in the Damaged Group or not then deal damage. After deal damage, add that unit to the Damaged Group so that it wont be damaged again. When Shukuchi fade, destroy the Damaged Group so that u can damage them again.

you have to use array groups if you wish to use indexing to make it completely MUI

use array groups

When u go through a unit, check if that unit is in the Damaged Group or not then deal damage. After deal damage, add that unit to the Damaged Group so that it wont be damaged again. When Shukuchi fade, destroy the Damaged Group so that u can damage them again.

yeah, that's what i meant

here is example in GUI:

you can see i add them to unDamageGroup but when i finished i destroy them

Kusanagi Kuro · Jul 4, 2013

DivineLight: After the first spell is cast, if u want the 2nd spell work, u must create unDamageGroup again through a custom script:
set udg_YourGroupVariable(YourArrayNumber or udg_YourIntegerVariable if has any)=CreateGroup().
Otherwise, it wont work. I have encountered this problem before.

DivineLight · Jul 4, 2013

yeah, but i just paste the loop trigger
i put it in the cast trigger
do i need to paste the cast trigger too?

Kusanagi Kuro · Jul 4, 2013

Well, may be he will need it.
