Cliff Level Problem

[chukky-jr]

i want my jump spell doesn't work if the target point cliff level is higher than the casting unit cliff level, but the trigger doesn't work, anyone can fix this?

Well first of all you don't have to include the hotkey of the ability in it's name
Second you should use AceHart's jump parabola formula
Third, i can't find anywhere on your trigger where you try to stop the unit from jumping if the terrain is higher, you should use GetLocationZ(point_var_goes_here) to do it
Fourth, You should check the condition of the periodic trigger (JumpStop[JumpInteger] Greater than 0) only checks the last jump spell casted, not every instance

i have to, or else people who use it won't know the hotkey, notice the hotkey is C while the spell name is "Jump"

Second you should use AceHart's jump parabola formula

well no, i want to invent thing on my own

Third, i can't find anywhere on your trigger where you try to stop the unit from jumping if the terrain is higher, you should use GetLocationZ(point_var_goes_here) to do it

i'll try the getlocationz

Fourth, You should check the condition of the periodic trigger (JumpStop[JumpInteger] Greater than 0) only checks the last jump spell casted, not every instance

don't get what you mean, the 2nd trigger runs ONLY the first trigger's condition all satisfied, the 2nd is initially off, every instance is needed since i want it to be MPI

 

[Dirac]

What i mean is that it's not even MPI, it's kinda a MUI-try-hard. If you want to do it MUI (but very very inneficient) then
Loop for integer a from 1 to JumpInteger
if JumpStop[Integer A] Greater than 0 then...

..
see my point?

And no, you DON'T have to write the hotkey in it's name, since you can't see it ingame. There's another value for the name displayed in-game

got it, i'm just too lazy to rewrite that part now...

well i did it out of blue since copy-pasting an existing value is easy, (btw that is Text-Tooltip-Normal for the ingame effect)

i rewrite my trigger a bit, but it still not working? and the effect is the same when i use Environment - Cliff level at () , the Jump works if you are in the higher level of terrain you can jump down, but you can't jump on flat terrain (same level of cliff)

Doesn't this condition work?

• (Terrain cliff level at CastPoint) Greater than or equal to (Terrain cliff level at TargetPoint)

 

[chukky-jr]

Doesn't this condition work?

• (Terrain cliff level at CastPoint) Greater than or equal to (Terrain cliff level at TargetPoint)

it does, but the outcome is weird, i can Jump to lower cliff level, but can't Jump to place where the cliff level is the same (flat grounds). so i ask if there is a workaround

did a few test and apparently, equal cliff level is registered as Greater, but not so sure, can anyone confirm this?

 

[chukky-jr]

can anyone help me? sorry for the quick bump, but i'm quite sure people don't reply because the above statement, though i tested that equal cliff level is registered as greater, it still doesn't work for the trigger

 

[Dirac]

custom script set udg_YourReal1=GetLocationZ(caster location)
custom script set udg_YourReal2=GetLocationZ(target location)
if YourReal1 less than or equal to YourReal2 then

 

[chukky-jr]

custom script set udg_YourReal1=GetLocationZ(caster location)
custom script set udg_YourReal2=GetLocationZ(target location)
if YourReal1 less than or equal to YourReal2 then

    • If - Conditions
      • (Integer(JumpTerrain1[JumpInteger])) Less than or equal to (Integer(JumpTerrain2[JumpInteger]))

already did that dude, reverting it back and forth doesn't help at all, it seems the WE register 1 cliff lower as 1 level lower, while 1 cliff level higher AND equal cliff level as 1 cliff level higher

 

[Dirac]

GetCliffLevel isnt the same thing as GetLocationZ, also, i made a mistake, it's GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO not what i posted

Cliff level returns an integer (1,2,3,4,5) i think
GetLocationZ returns the exact height of the target location, as in (128.00 or 256.00)

 

[chukky-jr]

still doesn't work

btw i did a few research with the Z position , i set A B C as real, A as position of caster, B as target point, C = A-B, i got A = 15.xx, B= 7.xx, but then i got C = -105.xx (or more than -100), anyone knows why that is?

 

[chukky-jr]

sorry for another bump

btw my ability is based on Cloud of Fog (i believe it is used by a flying unit, not sure which one), would that be a problem?
