Detecting Custom Value

[Admit]

Is there any way to detect custom value of the UNIT-B in this line of code?

• Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of UNIT_B <gen>

 

[Accname]

no. not with GUI.

 

[Admit]

no. not with GUI.

Any way in Jass then?

Do you want the custom value involved in the "Comes with <Range>" part of that?

 

[polo2005]

you could always pick every unit within x range and do action if that would work

Sorry i don't really understand what you mean with that.
I wan't to get the custom value from the UNIT_B (UNIT_B is a dummy unit that im creating from another trigger) and then check if it matches with the triggering unit.

you could always pick every unit within x range and do action if that would work

I have already thought about that but it wouldn't work with the trigger very good.

 

[Ghan]

You mean something like this?

• (Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Custom value of UNIT_B &lt;gen&gt;)

 

[polo2005]

you could add an immulasion on your dummy unit with 0 damage
and check if a unit takes damage and use dmaage scource to detect dummy unit.

if you just want the dummy to run the trigger once per unit just add the unit that takes damage to a unit group and check if unit is in group x equals false

I have had that idea to. But what if a group of unit's passes the Dummy at the same time? It won't be able to attack every one.


Here is the trigger btw.

I want the Condition in GorderStop to check if the triggering unit has the same Custom Value as the dummy it's passing.

.

i didnt read your whole trigger since i'm a bit tired...

but why do you want THAT dummy to attack everyone?

just create a new dummy that attacks for it.

handwriten example:

e) unit takes damage
c) damage scource is in unitgroupX //checknig if its right dummy
a) create a new dummy that do your action blablablabal

Becuse i need the dummy's (there is more then one, around 10 of them) to check if triggering unit go past them. But at the same time other unit's can run past them without fireing the trigger. So if the triggering unit and a random unit run's past the dummy att the same time the dummy will attack one of them, so it's a 50% chance the dummy won't attack the triggering unit but the random unit instead resultating that the trigger won't fire.

Also im off to sleep.

 

[polo2005]

may have missread (going to bed now)
but
1. if a unit thats NOT triggering unit pass the dummy nothing happends?
2. if the triggering unit pass without anyone else pass it too, it fires
3. if triggering unit AND another unit pass at the same time, there is a 50% chance that it target the other unit instand of triggering unit?

if follow is correct do something like:
pick all dummy units used for tihs and add all units around them in one unit group.

if number of units in unitgroup == 1 and picked unit == triggering unit 
[CODE]do loop - w/e you wanted to do

if number of units in unitgroup => 2
do loop - if picked unit = triggering unit set booleanX = true
[/CODE]

if booleanX = true

something liek that
do pick every unit in unitgroup and do your random dmaage thing

No im saying that if a unit other than the unit that issued the order the unit that walks close to the dummy won't fire the trigger.


Example:

A unit issues an order => Swapn X Dummy's, Set Custom value of dummy = Unit issued order.

Unit comes witin range of Dummy => If triggering unit's Custom value = Dummy's Custom Value then do action.

 

[CAPSLOCKFTW]

ooh, so you want to check if the unit who issued the order is the same unit who came in range of dummy?
If so then : when Unit - Unit is issued an order targeting an point is activated (your first trigger) add a
"Set variable Temp_Issunit = Triggering unit" to actions

And if you want to check the unit in range then add the condition of checking the unit who came in range:
Event - Unit comes witin range of Dummy
Condition - (Triggering Unit) Equal to Temp_Issunid

Now it will check if the unit who was issued an order is the same who came in range of dummy

No, what i ment is that i want to check if the Dummy (the unit that is the center point of the within Range) has the same Custom Value as Triggering unit (the unit that comes within range). The ordered unit is the one that creates the Dummys (and gives the dummy it's Custom Value)

 

[polo2005]

well its kind of hard for uss to set uss self into your trigger code and how you want it to work...

can you give us a bit more detailed explanation on what the whole trigger is suppost to do and when?

 

[Admit]

When a unit is issuing a order (ex walk) the trigger creates a ring of Dummy units around the ordered unit.

If the ordered unit comes within a range of 200 of the dummy unit, it is sent back to the middle of the circle and the dummy unit's are removed.

However to prevent other unit's to be sent to the middle of the circle incase they come within range of 200 of the dummy units i need to check that the unit that comes within range is the same as the unit that created the dummy's.

As all unit's in my map has a uniqe custom value i use it to set the dummy's to the same custom value as the ordered unit.

However i need to find a way to get the custom value of the dummy unit's to match it with the ordered unit.

 

[polo2005]

cant you just store the location when your unit standed before moving and check every x seconds if the unit is outside that range?

something like

Condition:
(Distance between Temp_point[0] and Temp_point[1]) Greater than MaxMoveRange

when temp point[1] is where the unit originaly standed and temp point[2] is where the unit is now

Won't that lagg if it has to check like 20 unit's at the same time?
More than one unit can issue the order (and create rings for them too)

 

[polo2005]

the only way to find out is too try

welli dont think it will lagg as long as you clean up the leaks

if it do, skip the dummy units?^^ or make a big dummy unit with the model of a big circel
