Anyways, I'm beginning work on my own demo / cool projectile shit / top secret map. One feature is:
Pyro Reroute: Causes all projectiles within 1000 range of the caster and the target to lose it's path. All projectiles will then become enflamed, and refired at the targeted unit, dealing a bonus 25 damage.
Blink should like. Make missiles aimed at you go haywire. Not just missiles in range. Hmm.... because if you fire like Peasant Wyvern Spears at Blood Mage, than blink to the other side of the map... doesn't it follow? Perhaps make it so that the missile will only home on if they are in certain range of their original location
You should add shadows to projectiles. You know the Supreme Commander maps? They are open source and they have a working projectile system I think facing works correctly as well. All JASS
Add shadows to projectiles as well .. using images .__.
function BulletAddShadow takes integer i returns image
local real size
if udg_bulletAttackId==0 then
set size = udg_classCollisionRadius2d[GetUnitClass(udg_bulletUnit)]
else
set size = udg_attackShadowSize[udg_bulletAttackId]
endif
if size<1. then
return null
endif
set udg_bulletShadow = CreateImage("ReplaceableTextures\\Shadows\\ShadowFlyer.blp", size, size, size, udg_bulletX-size*.5, udg_bulletY-size*.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2)
call SetImageColor(udg_bulletShadow,255,255,255,192)
call SetImageRenderAlways( udg_bulletShadow, IsUnitVisible(udg_bulletUnit,GetLocalPlayer()) )
call ShowImage(udg_bulletShadow, true)
return udg_bulletShadow
endfunction
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
