[Request] Fear System

[warden13]

Wander make units flee when attacked, they turn to slow, no ward classification and you can order them to do other things. That does pretty much nothing of what I want.

If only you were as experienced as me...

I repeat:
Add Wander,
Set Movement Speed to 522,
Add ward classification,
In object editor change Wander ability settings.
Add some sfx.

Thats all.

 

[DonRoman]

hm you can try this, works fine for me:

3 triggers, first one adds target to a group:

• Cast Fear
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Slow
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to FearUnits

Second one issues move order every few seconds it also checks if the unit has a specific buff, if not it will be removed from the group.

• Fear
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in FearUnits and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff Slow) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempLoc = (Position of (Picked unit))
            • Set TempLoc2 = (TempLoc offset by 500.00 towards (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees)
            • Trigger - Turn off Fear Orders <gen>
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To TempLoc2
            • Trigger - Turn on Fear Orders <gen>
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc2)
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from FearUnits

3. whenever theres an order given which is not ordered by the trigger above give a new move order (intercepts all things the owner wants to do, making the unit uncontrollable):

• Fear Orders
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in FearUnits) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set TempLoc2 = (TempLoc offset by 500.00 towards (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To TempLoc2
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc2)

think you can add ward calssification by yourself (coz i dont know how in gui [and neither in jass atm] ). If you want the demo map tell me

 

[Leazy]

warden13: What fucking changes would I do with wander? There aren't any obvious values you can change. And even if I add wander, how can I stop player control? You can still order smart with ward classified units...

DonRoman: Their good triggers, but with them you can decide where to travel with fear by simply spamming order moves when the feared unit runs toward a point you dont want it to run to.

 

[DonRoman]

alright then for the complicated way. :/

1st trigger stores the unit and a random location in an array.

• Cast Fear Co
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Slow
  • Actions
    • Set FearCount = (FearCount + 1)
    • Set FearUnit[FearCount] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set TempLoc = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Set FearLocation[FearCount] = (TempLoc offset by 500.00 towards (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees)
    • Unit - Order (Target unit of ability being cast) to Move To FearLocation[FearCount]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

2. trigger periodically loops through all arrays and checks if the unit has reached the target, then it will be ordered to a new target. If the buff is gone if so its array will be receycled.

• Cast Fear Complicated
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.02 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to FearCount, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (FearUnit[(Integer A)] has buff Slow) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempLoc = (Position of FearUnit[(Integer A)])
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Distance between TempLoc and FearLocation[(Integer A)]) Less than or equal to 100.00
              • Then - Actions
                • Set FearLocation[(Integer A)] = (TempLoc offset by 500.00 towards (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees)
              • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Order FearUnit[(Integer A)] to Move To FearLocation[(Integer A)]
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
          • Else - Actions
            • Set FearUnit[(Integer A)] = FearUnit[FearCount]
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_FearLocation[bj_forLoopAIndex])
            • Set FearLocation[(Integer A)] = FearLocation[FearCount]
            • Set FearCount = (FearCount - 1)
            • Custom script: set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex - 1

theres not much more i can think of. again i can send you the demo map which contains both triggers.

 

[Igor_Z]

Well isn't that trigger the same as Taunt? Taunt does the same thing but not need for complicated triggers. I dunno whats the problem

 

[DonRoman]

Well isn't that trigger the same as Taunt? Taunt does the same thing but not need for complicated triggers. I dunno whats the problem

No.

Taunt:
1. AoE effect, how would you make it for each unit individually and MUI?
2. you need a dummy to cast it (has to be visible and vulnerable i think but not sure).
3. you can control taunted units if you give them a new order.

I cant imagine a way for taunt to work here, can you explain it to me?

 

[Leazy]

Good way to do it, DonRoman. I wouldn't have thought of that, +rep!

Edit: I changed it to fit my needs, and this is how it turned out:

• A Fear
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Fear_Count = (Fear_Count + 1)
    • Set A_Point[1] = (Position of Target)
    • Set Fear_Unit[Fear_Count] = Target
    • Set Fear_Point[Fear_Count] = (A_Point[1] offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 500.00) towards (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees)
    • Unit - Order Target to Move To Fear_Point[Fear_Count]

• A Fear Periodically Movement
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to Fear_Count, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • (Fear_Unit[(Integer A)] has buff Physic Scream ) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set A_Point[1] = (Position of Fear_Unit[(Integer A)])
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Distance between A_Point[1] and Fear_Point[(Integer A)]) Less than or equal to 100.00
              • Then - Actions
                • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Fear_Point[bj_forLoopAIndex])
                • Set Fear_Point[(Integer A)] = (A_Point[1] offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 500.00) towards (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees)
              • Else - Actions
                • Set Fear_TimeNoAction[(Integer A)] = (Fear_TimeNoAction[(Integer A)] + 0.03)
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • Fear_TimeNoAction[(Integer A)] Equal to (Random real number between 2.00 and 3.00)
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Fear_Point[bj_forLoopAIndex])
                    • Set Fear_Point[(Integer A)] = (A_Point[1] offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 500.00) towards (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees)
                  • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Order Fear_Unit[(Integer A)] to Move To Fear_Point[(Integer A)]
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_A_Point[1])
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Order Fear_Unit[(Integer A)] to Stop
            • Set Fear_Unit[(Integer A)] = Fear_Unit[Fear_Count]
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Fear_Point[bj_forLoopAIndex])
            • Set Fear_Point[(Integer A)] = Fear_Point[Fear_Count]
            • Set Fear_Count = (Fear_Count - 1)
            • Custom script: set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex - 1

Example on how I use it:

• Physic Scream
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Physic Scream
  • Actions
    • Set A_Point[1] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set A_Unitgroup[1] = (Units within 500.00 of A_Point[1] matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True)))
    • Set A_Unitgroup[2] = (Random 3 units from A_Unitgroup[1])
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in A_Unitgroup[2] and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at A_Point[1] facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add [Dummy] Physic Scream (Priest) to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Necromancer - Cripple (Picked unit)
        • Set Target = (Picked unit)
        • Trigger - Run A Fear <gen> (checking conditions)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_A_Point[1])
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_A_Unitgroup[1])
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_A_Unitgroup[2])

Now, is there any reason why this would only work once? Because the units only get feared from the first cast.

 

[Leazy]

bump.

 

[CixxyZ]

Jesus, what part of ''I want it to be the same owner.'' didn't you understand?

dont worry dude that guy did the same thing in my thread, he cannot read.

 

[Nexor]

in the demo map it works good, but I think making a trigger with the events: An unit is issued an order is needed to do this thing, you can simply spam stop or hold pos to slow down your unit

 

[Leazy]

I can fix that later, first of all I would like to solve the current problem.

 

[Nexor]

Try to remove that timer thing in your trigger, I don't see any other changes that would cause your trigger not to work

 

[Leazy]

Why should I remove the timer? Then units wont get new destination locations. If I change the event to issued order events, the units will only get new locations when you order them somewhere.

 

[Nexor]

I'm talking about that custom: Set Fear_TimeNoAction[(Integer A)] = (Fear_TimeNoAction[(Integer A)] + 0.03) thingie

 

[Leazy]

Owe, good idea, i'll check that

Edit: Wasn't that, I fixed it myself though. New trigger:

• A Fear

      • If - Conditions

                    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Fear_Point[bj_forLoopAIndex])

                  • Else - Actions
                    • Set Fear_TimeNoAction[(Integer A)] = (Fear_TimeNoAction[(Integer A)] + 0.03)
                    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                      • If - Conditions
                        • Fear_TimeNoAction[(Integer A)] Equal to (Random real number between 2.00 and 3.00)

Why don't you ask Gex , the creator of CF ? I wonder if he could show you a template or give an unprotected CF for testing purposes .

 

[Leazy]

What's CF?
