Cast Text​

As future traning in JASS i created simple "spell"
I know its usless for maps basicly but... but nothing, i like it, it was fun to make.

Descryption: Create Text from bunch of dummy units. Text can be modified by simply typing other thing.

It works as "system" so you should put it in map Custom script place, and then just call it with function like in example.
Currently only based on dummy unit, because i didnt want to play with MUI. (now it is MUI because unit lifetime)

To use in GUI:
Custom Script:call CreatePixelText(TEXT, LOCATION, LIFETIME, DENSITY, SCALE, UNIT (RAWCODE))
better example in map

If you want edit symbols thats the grid: ( But you should write it on paper)
Code:

Can't see this being the most useful thing to people, but it does look pretty cool :p

JASS:
local location loc2 = loc

Just use loc, instead of declaring another variable that points to it?

JASS:
call RemoveLocation(loc)

What if someone still needs to use the taken location after calling the function? Parameters that are capable of being destroyed shouldn't be destroyed by the function. If it leaks, the end-user should set it in a variable, use it, and destroy it later when they no longer have use of the location e.g.
JASS:
local location l = Location (100, 50)
call CreatePixelText (&quot;hello&quot;, l, ...)
//And now...
call CreateUnitAtLoc (whichPlayer, unitId, l, bj_UNIT_FACING)

The CreateUnitAtLoc line will screw up, since you've destroyed the location we were going to use

ALso, an explanation of what each parameter does would be great - where is loc with respect to the text displayed, what exactly does den do, and so on. Most people won't bother reading through the script (or won't be able to), so how are they expected to know how each parameter affects the function


Also, thread tag has been changed to [Snippet]

ok added notes and fixed loc thingy :)

btw i know its not useful
its because i thought when it takes loc it create own local. so string shouldnt be nulled too then

Seems to work fine..

Although the code itself is scary..there are other ways to do this :p

>its because i thought when it takes loc it create own local. so string shouldnt be nulled too then

Yes you have your own variable but it points to the same location. When you RemoveLocation(loc) you aren't removing loc..you're removing the location pointed to by loc. Don't destroy function arguments, the user may need them.

This is really nice. ^^

You should create a trigger to invert the text, though. (Now it's a square of dots with missing dots to show text. I want it to be dots to form the text, and missing dots around.)
Sort of like if you have a paper and paint it almost all black, except for the part where the words are, which you leave white. -Do it the other way around. :p

Could you fix the indentation please? It's quite ugly, and is quote confusing to read.

Also, you can use the StringCase(string, true) function to make 'string' capital.
For example:
JASS:
set s = StringCase(&quot;HeLlO WoRlD&quot;, true)

Will make s == "HELLO WORLD"

Can be used to remove the "Only caps limitation. At least until you implement small letters. :))

Oh, and I should mention that "RemoveUnit()" can actually cause bugs.
A real shame for a snippet like this that uses it a lot.

Use call ShowUnit(u, false); call KillUnit(u) instead.

I heard it can cause handle stack corruption.
Actually, I've heard it many times from many people.

> It'll be extremely hard to corrupt the stack without casting from integer to handle.
But we don't know whether the map this will be implemented into will do exactly that.

Some maps still use Ancient Handle Vars.

I agree, but that's not the issue at hand here. If you "miscast" a integer to a handle, it doesn't really matter what function you use to destroy that handle with:
JASS:
function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

function I2Vfx takes integer i returns effect
    return i
    return null
endfunction

function Test takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    local effect vfx = I2Vfx(H2I(t))
    
    call DestroyEffect(vfx)
    call DestroyTimer(t)
    set t = null
    set vfx = null
endfunction
It saves just fine, but it's oh so wrong.

*Edit*
My point is, we can't account for user stupidity.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
