problem with the condition: "Terrain pathing is off"

[Idontknowyou]

I need to check if certain points are walkable; the condition "Terrain pathing is off" works perfectly fine for doodads and terrain, but not for destructibles and buildings. Could somebody show me a custom script that determines if a location has been made unwalkable by a building or destructible?


Edit: If there is no simple solution, I will just have to rethink my trigger

Edit: If you think I've worded this wierdly and don't understand what I am trying to ask... you should let me know = \.

thank you .... I was really hoping to have a one liner but this works i guess.

Edit: a lot of people on that forum are saying that this function is inaccurate... If somebody could post something that might work better, I'd appreciate it.

Edit: I made my own version in GUI (JASS seemed a bit unnecessary for such a simple trigger) and it seems to be working fine.

I prefer what I have here, short and sweet

Pathing Check

• Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Item - Create Pathing_Checker at CheckPathingHere
    • Set PathingChecker = (Last created item)
    • Set ConfirmPathing = (Position of PathingChecker)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • And - All (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (((X of CheckPathingHere) - (X of ConfirmPathing)) Less than or equal to 2.00) and (((X of CheckPathingHere) - (X of ConfirmPathing)) Greater than or equal to -2.00)
            • (((Y of CheckPathingHere) - (Y of ConfirmPathing)) Less than or equal to 5.00) and (((Y of CheckPathingHere) - (Y of ConfirmPathing)) Greater than or equal to -5.00)
      • Then - Actions
        • Set PathingisBlocked = False
      • Else - Actions
        • Set PathingisBlocked = True
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_CheckPathingHere)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_ConfirmPathing)
    • Item - Remove PathingChecker

Check pathing here is set before running the trigger, I do that so I can use this for any spell or function that requires a pathing check ( knock backs, line of sight checks, etc)

Well, GUI is all but not sweet, neither short

Much shorter than the jass functions...It looks a lot longer than it actually is.. half of this trigger is leak removal, the rest is a simple if/then/else and some variable settings.

But you have to write these lines each time you want to use it ?
Also your solution is more innacurate and should be less efficient.

Meh, honestly i don't care about it.
I won't start a new lame war gui vs jass, we all know the end.

Sorry if you feel offended.

 

[Idontknowyou]

nono, I don't rewrite it everytime i need to use it, I just do this

• Set CheckPathingHere = (whichever spot I'm checking)
  • Trigger - Run Pathing Check <gen> (checking conditions)
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • PathingisBlocked Equal to True
    • Then - Actions
    • ...........

It's really not much less efficient than having a windwalk dummy moving around everywhere........

It works very accurately to, I've tested it a lot

 

[Troll-Brain]

As i said i won't start a new war, believe what you want and be happy.

 

[Idontknowyou]

I know it's not the most efficient trigger out there, but it works, it's easy, and it DOES NOT lag, even when run 100 times a second.

I believe you that the JASS trigger is better than my GUI trigger, but I do not know JASS, and I'd rather use a trigger that I understand than copy and paste a block of code that I only vaguely understand.
