Any Tutorials?

[junicobakura]

Are there any tutorials here on how to make a Triggered(GUI/MUI) Wave-Like(Shockwave,Carrion Swarm) Spells?

 

[Ayanami]

Try searching around? I don't think there's a specific tutorial. Perhaps you could look up custom made shockwave codes and learn from there?

tried making 1 from looking on Spirit Lance you made

can you please teach me how to apply damage to units hit by the projectile?

and LEAK CHECK

Found a tutorial, apparently similiar to what yuor looking for, i think.

By the way, I noticed you make a lot of japanese-anime names for abilities...

its not what im looking for

although thanks for this as it might be useful in the near future

what im looking for is making a spell that seems to be the same as shockwave/carrion swarm

Why don't you just base your skill on it?
Maybe you can try Kenny's Projectile System, tho it's in v/JASS.

 

[skyblader]

Or maybe you could state what you want so we can find the right things/teach you how to make it. Right now... You're just telling us you want a shockwave kind of spell, and we're just guessing solutions. If you tell us the exact problem(Exactly how you want the spell to be) it'll be easier

 

[Ayanami]

Here's a custom shockwave spell that I made long ago. Hope it helps.

well, it just looks like the normal shockwave

though it can be done by just copying the base ability

i want to trigger it to manipulate the damage

and removing the missle ripple is a plus

this should help.

but the hashtables are in custom script. im confused.

 

[Ayanami]

Yeah, because my hashtables are bugged in GUI. Well, the custom script is basically same as GUI. "SaveReal" basically saves a real value, "SaveBoolean" basically saves a Boolean value. As for the "0 of 1" thing in GUI, it's simply reversed. Meaning that "0 of 1" would be "SaveReal(udg_Hashtable, 1, 0....)". As for "Key(Triggering unit)", it basically becomes "GetHandleId(GetTriggerUnit())".

 

[junicobakura]

• Custom script: call SaveBoolean(udg_Hashtable, GetHandleId(udg_TempUnit), GetHandleId(GetEnumUnit()), false)

sorry to ask

but how do you insert a unit variable inside the Hande ID for the GUI

 

[skyblader]

If I'm not wrong, using GUI you can't use unit variables. Not sure if you use custom script though, you can try replacing GetEnumUnit() with udg_VariableName.

oh crap

but its ok if i mix GUI hashtables and Custom Script Hashtables right?

 

[skyblader]

Yeah. They are all converted to JASS in the end anyway.

 

[Ayanami]

Just insert the variable name in between the brackets (). Do note that all global variables (basically, ALL variables in GUI) need to have the "udg_" prefix. Thus, let's say you have a unit "TempUnit". You'll have to do "GetHandleId(udg_TempUnit)".

What do you mean? I am able to save units into a hashtable.

 

[skyblader]

Save variables. Meaning you can only save picked unit, last created unit, triggering unit, but not say TempUnit(Unit var).

Edit: Sorry, I meant the handle. Like Key(Picked unit). You can save unit variables in the hashtable, but you can't "bind" it to the handle of variables. At least in GUI.

aarrrrggghhhh

cant make the spell

decided to copy the spell from the map

but when i tried casting it many times

it causes lag.

 

[X-maul]

thats because there is something leaking then, or dummy units not getting deleated.

Can also be because you summon too many units and special effects at the same time.

Try to check the trigger through for leaks and post it here if you fail

changed base ability from shockwave to channel. does not lag now

does this kill all other shockwave orders?

cause when the skill is used

any other dummy skill that needs shockwave order cannot be used(ordered through triggers) anymore
