Can anyone help making day time based skill?

[overlord28]

Im almost frustased with my skill.It like balanar skill number 3 (whatever that name) when night he become fast as light, when day he are difficult to see.

about 3 days i make both gui and jass but it causing many leak and lags.can anyone help me construct it? mmm maybe new one

First you make boolean variable and then you make an even that shows that it day then set the boolean variable = true. So whenever something is supposed to happen at day you set the condition to the boolean variable you've made.

Event - time of day becomes 6.00

Conditions -

Action - "your variable" = true

not about that, my problem are with the spell. how can they active only during the night or during the day? my problem here im using about 3 spells and 3 triggers so it causes lag when i try with my friend

make the spell fully triggered then use the conditions
IF
Time of day less than 18
time of day greater than 6
THEN
Do nothing bcuz is day
ELSE
Do damage and slow

 

[overlord28]

then how about increasing movement only in night? i do have test with unit current movementspeed+blabla but after the unit dies it wont increased again.

The thing is that you store night time in a variable.

So if you want something to happen to during the night you make a condition that says that your boolean variable is true thus detecting the time of day.

• Night Time
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Greater than 18.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set NightTimeCheck = True

So if you for instance want to create an ability that does something special at night you set the condition to NightTimeCheck = True. That means you detect if it is night or not:thup:

... Or you could make two different abilities of every skill (one for night and one for day) and each time day/night changes, trigger would replace one of them with other one:

• Skill Change
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 18.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Disable Imbaskill (daytime) for (Owner of Night_Stalker)
    • Unit - Add Imbaskill (nighttime) to Night_Stalker
    • Unit - Set level of Imbaskill (nighttime) for Night_Stalker to (Level of Imbaskill (daytime) for Night_Stalker)
    • Unit - Remove Imbaskill (daytime) from Night_Stalker

Not sure if I missed something, but this should work. It checks every 2 seconds to see if something needs doing.

Variables: RandomUnitGroup (Type Unit Group), NightSkill (Type Boolean) and SkillLevel (Type Integer).

Edit: Should be obvious, but the hero used is a Dreadlord, the two skills are Day Stalking and Night Stalking.

• NightDayStalker
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set RandomUnitGroup = (Units of type Dreadlord)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in RandomUnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (In-game time of day) Greater than or equal to 6.00
            • (In-game time of day) Less than or equal to 18.00
            • NightSkill Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set SkillLevel = (Level of Night Stalking for (Picked unit))
            • Set NightSkill = False
            • Unit - Remove Night Stalking from (Picked unit)
            • Unit - Add Day Stalking to (Picked unit)
            • Unit - Set level of Day Stalking for (Picked unit) to SkillLevel
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • NightSkill Equal to False
              • Then - Actions
                • Set SkillLevel = (Level of Day Stalking for (Picked unit))
                • Set NightSkill = True
                • Unit - Remove Day Stalking from (Picked unit)
                • Unit - Add Night Stalking to (Picked unit)
                • Unit - Set level of Night Stalking for (Picked unit) to SkillLevel
              • Else - Actions
                • Do nothing
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_RandomUnitGroup)

Do you need to remove the skill first, then add the replacement? I feel like if you add the replacement, then remove the old one, the replacement might move to a different slot or something...

I'm asking out of ignorance, btw. I don't know.

 

[Dinowc]

just give the hero a modified endurance aura with 2 levels - 1 level that grants bonus and 1 level that grants no bonus at all and set the ability level according to game-time instead of adding/removing the skill (it would annoy with displaying icon all the time)

Depends if you know how icon placing works or not. If you don't know how, then it'll fail nonetheless. If you do, it'll be fine.

If you don't wanna use variable to register your Night Stalker with another trigger, you could use this:

• Skill Change
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 18.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Everyone = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Night Stalker))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Everyone and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Disable Imbaskill (daytime) for (Owner of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Add Imbaskill (nighttime) to (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Set level of Imbaskill (nighttime) for (Picked unit) to (Level of Imbaskill (daytime) for (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Remove Imbaskill (daytime) from (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Everyone)

It should work at least if there is only one Night Stalker stalking out there..
