GetUnitZ()

[Dryvnt]

Firstly, just to those who wonder: I don't work on my system 24/7.

Secondly, i heard that GetUnitZ() can cause desyncs... Is this true?

 

[TriggerHappy]

GetUnitFlyHeight() is another option. There was really no question here.

 

[Dryvnt]

Thanks ... So GetUnitFlyHeight() wont cause desyncs?

 

[Flare]

GetUnitFlyHeight wo't cause desyncs (as far as I know anyway ), but the returned value isn't very useful in alot of situations since it's the unit's height above the current terrain level (and it won't change as the terrain goes up/down). If a unit's fly height is 100 at 0 terrain height, it'll be 100 at 500 terrain height

You can create a GetUnitZ function like so:

globals
  location Loc = Location (0, 0)
endglobals

function GetUnitZ takes unit u returns real
  call MoveLocation (Loc, GetUnitX (u), GetUnitY (u))
  return GetLocationZ (Loc) + GetUnitFlyHeight (u)
endfunction

although I believe GetLocationZ can cause desyncs if it's called on a point that is deformed (either through a spell like Thunderclap/Warstomp, or through triggers), so it could be dangerous in maps with lots of triggered deformation

Instead of making another thread, imma just ask it in this:

Why wont my unit go up?

library PhysLib

    function PhysApplyForceX takes real XForce, integer CustomID returns nothing
        set X[CustomID] = X[CustomID] + XForce //Anything above 2000 will probably make your unit go completely out of the map
    endfunction
    
    function PhysApplyForceY takes real YForce, integer CustomID returns nothing
        set Y[CustomID] = Y[CustomID] + YForce //Anything above 2000 will probably make your unit go completely out of the map
    endfunction
    
    function PhysApplyForceZ takes real ZForce, integer CustomID returns nothing
        set Z[CustomID] = Z[CustomID] + ZForce
    endfunction
    
    function PhysUpdateUnits takes nothing returns nothing

endscope

This is my code, i also gotta add your function flare, but i still can't get the unit to fly

 

[TriggerHappy]

Units need to have crow form in order to raise their flying height. Just do

UnitAddAbility(unit, CROW_FORM_ID)

 

[Dryvnt]

call UnitAddAbility(CurrentUnit[Index], 'nmdm')
call SetUnitFlyHeight(CurrentUnit[Index], (GetUnitFlyHeight(CurrentUnit[Index]) + Z[Index]), 10000)
call UnitRemoveAbility(CurrentUnit[Index], 'nmdm')

 

[Flare]

'nmdm'??? Why not just 'Arav' or that other one (can't remember it's rawcode ). Probably won't help, but would be more sensible (IMO) than creating a new ability for the purpose

 

[Dryvnt]

My rawcode for flight form (Human->Campaign->Special... WAIT!!!!

Sry guys, just me being a stupid fucktard...

Was browsing in unit part of object editor, and saw Raven... Thought i was the spell...

:banghead:

 

[TriggerHappy]

I think crows is 'Amrf'
