Tutorial DotA Power Treads System

nnieheayp · Jul 20, 2009

I made this system for mappers. Many of you might not like dotA systems but I searched and I couldn't find a system for the Power Treads. I made it myself and i wanted to show it to you guys. Please tell me how to improve/upgrade the system... Thank you for feedback and comments

Description:
Item Power Treads: Boots of speed + Gloves of Haste + Robe of the Magi or Belt of Giant Strength or Boots of Elvenskin + Recipe for Power Treads
Bonus: It gives +65 move speed, +30% attack speed and +10 to the selected attribute(Strength, Agility or Intellegence).

Why is the Prefix saying Tutorial, if this is a system?
What does the system do? (For those who don't play Dota.)
Show us your triggers.

Igor_Z · Jul 20, 2009

Hmm the system is very good. My Power Threads system is very good too but its not MUI so i guess i'll use this one. But I spotted a bug.

Bug Display: When you make 1 Power Threads on the mountain king hero and 1 Power Threads on the Paladin. When u press on the boots on the paladin it says: ''You are allowed to carry only 1 Power Threads''...

BlackRose · Jul 20, 2009

Works like a charm. But giving YOU Credit for something that you just re-coded? Also, your triggers, are very... messy....

cleeezzz · Jul 20, 2009

For people who dont play dota
You can create an item called Power Treads (simple recipes), it gives movement speed and a stat bonus to one attribute (+10). You can choose which attribute by clicking on the item. if the treads is in Strength form, it will turn into Agility form. Clicking Agility changes it to Intelligence, Clicking Intelligence changes it to Strength... etc.

>Also, your triggers, are very... messy....

word. those loops are crazy and... inefficient?

Code:

Power Treads
    Events
        Unit - A unit Uses an item
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Power Treads (Agility)
            Then - Actions
                For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                (Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to Power Treads (Agility)
                            Then - Actions
                                Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)
                                Hero - Create Power Treads (Intelligence) and give it to (Triggering unit)
                                Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to move (Last created item) to inventory slot (Integer A)
                            Else - Actions
            Else - Actions

thats example for agi to int, i dont know why you were using two loops or checking for PowerTreads_Item

i fail to see why you need those checks.

and not to hate but does this really count as a system

, its just replacing when used.

>My Power Threads system is very good too but its not MUI so i guess i'll use this one
question, how can it not be mui?? its replacing an item? O_O

as for stacking treads... if the item has the ability Movement speed bonus, it wont stack anyway, thats how dota does it, i believe, it doesnt drop the item, it just says in the description, Boots do not stack.

EDITED : Support ^^...

Igor_Z · Jul 20, 2009

Don't have step-by-step teaching. +graveyard note..

You can't be serious m8. He did a very good job + his hard work... There isn't any power threads system here I think so I give +rep to him...
About the Thread. It should say [System]Power Threads. Pyae add triggers to your thread, use WC3 GUI tags to display them. Myb it should have a how to import trigger or some explanation. But u worked hard on it so I give +rep

Amfidamant · Jul 20, 2009

Please provide your triggers/code on your first post.
Also, add instructions on how to implement your system to map (even if it is just copy/paste)
Oh, and a description would be nice too.

Jesus4Lyf · Jul 20, 2009

:banghead:
This is so specific to DotA that it is absurd.

Does it cancel the current order? <_<

cleeezzz · Jul 22, 2009

>Does it cancel the current order? <_<

yes it does. to fix it, base it off ww or beserk(?), those are non interrupting casts. although i think dota cancels orders too >_>

>This is so specific to DotA that it is absurd.

yea. replacing an item = dota

and as i said, i suggest changing your triggers a bit and getting rid of using variables. (this really doesn't need variables) (just look at the trigger i posted in my first post)

Jesus4Lyf · Jul 22, 2009

cleeezzz said:
i think dota cancels orders too

It did, but they fixed that.

It's a bug. I hope this gets fixed also.

Leazy · Jul 22, 2009

Base the item ability on for example berserk and it wont stop its orders I think.

Edit: Owe, someone above said that already.

nnieheayp · Jul 22, 2009

I fixed this system. But,i can't fix order, also used berserk(item) ability. I think that bug may be at "order unit item move to slot". How can i solve that ?

Thanks for replying with help ideas.

EDIT: The updated map is in my first post

nnieheayp · Jul 22, 2009

BUMP...
Fixed my post and my system... In the v1.1 i added Import Steps, added triggers to post #1, added description and more...

cleeezzz · Jul 22, 2009

those triggers look MUCH better, so is it fully working now? (the berserk? too)?

Jesus4Lyf · Jul 22, 2009

Use dummy items to make the created item land in the right slot.

cleeezzz · Jul 22, 2009

whats wrong with the gui, order unit to move item to inventory space O_O

Jesus4Lyf · Jul 23, 2009

>I think that bug may be at "order unit item move to slot". How can i solve that ?
In response to that. If that's what was cancelling the hero's current order.

Igor_Z · Jul 26, 2009

Very nice fixes... The order needs to be fixed btw. You shouldn't order the unit to move it to X slot in inventory. That makes the unit stop

Jesus4Lyf · Jul 26, 2009

That's exactly what we're talking about, lol...
