Walls and stuff

[Daveydude]

I relised something about my maps recently and it is really pissing me off now. I want to make it that units cannot fire:

Through/Over Cliffs
OR
Through/Over Boundries
OR
Can't fire over/through a doodad like pathing blocker.
Either is fine

I am trying to have a "building" so to speak, but I don't want units firing through my "walls" which is terrain 2 levels above everything else. I want to units to go around and fire, rather then just firing through a wall.
GUI or JASS is fine, any solution will do.
Thanks!
P.S. If to do this is that hard, tell me and don't bother trying.

Completely triggering all missiles in the game. Yeah, don't bother.

The post above me contains a suggestion that involves lots of hard work and much cursing, but is the only way to do it

Well I don't get it - so many patches and things like that or unit passing through custom model walls, i.e pathing not rly appropriate still suck, Blizzard never fixed them. I hope they fix that crap in their new games.

If I ever can be bothered to build a trigger that actually works (which is just as likely as the apocalypse happening tomorrow) I will be sure to post it on the hive.

dude if u search fast solution that is easy and no brain, use move type of foot and the nuke will go around.

What you can do is make a trigger that detects the location Z of both the shooter and the target. Then if/then/else it; if the location of the target is greater than Location Z of shooter + some number, or less than Location Z of shooter - some number then do nothing, else kill target unit.

a unit gets attacked
-
or
attacking unit in region - street
attacking unit...
AND
or
-attacked unit in region - house
attacked unit .....
-
issue order unit to stop

you have to do many regions but it works. for cliffs etc take satients solution
custom script set realvar1=getlocationZ(attacking unit)
custom script set real var2=....
if realvar1=realvar2 do nothing else issue order unit to stop

Go to Object Editor and set the Custom Value of each unit to its attack range devided by 64.

• Don't fire through walls
• Events
  • A unit is attacked
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set TempLoc Equal to Position of (Attacking unit)
  • Set CanAttack = True
  • For each Integer A from 1 to custom value of (Attacking unit)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set TempLoc2 Equal to TempLoc offset by (64.00 x Integer A) towards Facing angle of (Attacking unit)
      • If/Then/Else - Multiple functions
        • Conditions
          • Or - Multiple conditions
            • Terrain pathing of type Amphibious pathing is off at TempLoc2 Equal to True
            • (Terrain cliff level at TempLoc2) Greater than (Terrain cliff level at TempLoc)
        • Then - Actions
          • Set CanAttack = False
        • Else - Actions
      • Custom script - call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc2)
  • Custom script - call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
  • If//Then/Else - Multiple functions
    • Conditions
      • CanAttack Equal to False
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop
    • Else - Actions

That is one way to do it. I could probably make a projectile system for you but i dont think it wud make that much of a difference

 

[Daveydude]

That should work. Thanks! +Rep

Set TempLoc2 Equal to TempLoc offset by (64.00 x Integer A) towards Facing angle of (Attacking unit)


Change that to angle from position of attacking unit to position of attacked unit because the unit is attacked event can register even before the unit turns or while it is still turning.
