Insanity Manager System

[Squeekems]

I am trying to make an insanity manager system for a boss fight in my map.
I want it so that if the user's hero is facing the boss, their lumber (insanity) will rise. If they are looking away, however, I want it to decrease.

I tried matching the facing angle to the angle between two points, but they do not match up all the time. I'm having trouble figuring out how I could manipulate the values, to test if the hero is facing the boss, correctly. Any suggestions?

Here is some code to exemplify what I have figured out so far.

There are 8 players, so the for-loop loops through the 8 players.
Hero is a Unit variable.
Boss 0009 <gen> is the boss unit.
TempPoint and TempPoint2 are Point variables.
TempReal is a Real variable.

• Manage Insanity
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of Boss 0009 &lt;gen&gt;)
        • Set TempPoint2 = (Position of Hero[(Integer A)])
        • Set TempReal = (Angle from TempPoint to TempPoint2)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
        • Game - Display to (Player group((Player((Integer A))))) the text: ((String((Facing of Hero[(Integer A)]))) + ( and + (String(TempReal))))

I have maded this map, tell me if it is what you wanted.http://www.epicwar.com/maps/download/188937/5cb3844868d8a6ec57bfacd922e2e29b2017e0d84eb1f1e2/Insanity.w3x

I played around with your map. It only works when the X of the Boss is greater than the X of the hero.
At one point, my trigger did the same thing, but after messing around with it, I got further away from the solution. So the problem remains: to figure out if the hero is facing the boss while the X of the hero is greater than the X of the boss.

EDIT:
I did some more messing around.
Real Angle become negative while the X of the position of the hero(hX) is greater than the X of the position of the boss(bX).
I'm going to try testing for if hX > bH. While it is, I will multiply RealAngle by -1.

EDIT(2):
That did not help at all. <( >_<)>

Here is what I am working with currently:

View attachment Insanity.w3x

I added a message that displays the FacingAngle and RealAngle so you can see how the variables change.

re-making ulduar?

dont have time to help now but this weekend i will try to get around to it if it isnt solved by then :/

Fixed it. Problem was that whenever Facing Angle goes within 180 - 360 degrees range, it is displayed as -180 to 0 instead. Thus, solution is simple. Whenever Facing Angle is negative, add 360 to it. For example, let's say Facing Angle is 300. The actual result would be -60. Thus, by adding 360 to it, it gives you 300, which is the correct positive result.

Thanks, Ayanami. I had don't this before and it worked great. I just forgot what had to be done for that situation. Thank so much!

re-making ulduar?

Lol, no. Actually, I am making just a single boss fight. I'm planning on trying to make a bunch of different single boss maps. This one is a succubus. And I knew people would understand "insanity management system" over "charm management system." It's essentially the same thing. But you won't being entering this boss's head. <(o_- )>
