System Floating Bars

Interesting system. I like it :)

Some cons though, such as the lag. +rep!
 
Hey a weird bug found; I clicked that wolf and I used Divine Shield. The wolves then become invisible while it's health is still there.:D
 
If the HP bar is useless because you can just hold ALT, then the mana bar is another feature that is new so I figure its good right?

I did this because I thought it would be interesting and useful.

And nice if you want to disable the pre-health bar (that thing that shows when you hold Alt) using a negative selection scale.

Then Steel should add a condition before the actions run for the functions, to do :

Code:
local integer i
local boolean b
loop
if GetOwningPlayer(u) != Player(i) then //check if owner of u not equal to Player(i)
    if IsUnitInvisible(u,Player(i)) and IsVisibleToPlayer(GetUnitX(u),GetUnitY(u),Player(i)) then //is unit invisible for unit and point of unit visible
        set b=true
    endif
endif
exitwhen b
endloop
if not b then //do actions if invisble
else //if unit is not invisible for player then
endif

No idea for that, because I certainly wrote something wrong.

Also, the floating bars are visible (certainly) even if the unit is in fog of war of black mask.
 
Maybe you can try it when you hover your mouse over it appears then whene you take your mouse off it then its disapears
 
Then to fix the "invisible" units bug, you would also need to do a condition for burrowed :p
 
Yea Ill fix that I just forgot to change a line of testing. Its a very simple fix thanks for pointing that out! :D

All that needed adding was:
Code:
    call SetTextTagVisibility(GetHandleTextTag(whichUnit,"lifebar"),IsUnitVisible(whichUnit,GetLocalPlayer()))
In the update function.


Fixed Now though
 
There is no forum for Systems, at least no official forum. Only "systems" that have a forum are spell systems, which belong in the spells section.

Otherwise... Systems belong in the Free Trigger Code section, but they have to be approved there, not here ;)
 
It is done in the Submissions thread within the Free Trigger Code subforum ;)

I can't move a thread inside a post. Reply to the submission thread!
 
I don't really get the Custom script and that.
but it says copy the custom script (which is the script on needed triggers, yeah?)
then it says copy the needed triggers (but isn't that the same?)
then i try to enable the triggers and it just comes up with error after error...
EDIT:Don't, worry found it.
 
i recall seeing an option in the in-game F10 menu gameplay option where you can check/uncheck to always show health bars :)

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
