I found a way top make an awesome jump spell without using any hard methods! First, you need to make a new abiliy off of Cluster Rockets. Change the Missle Art to your casting unit, and add a nice Missle Arc to it. Now make a new trigger and when the unit casts the ability, hide the casting unit, store the target point of the ability being cast to a variable, move your unit to that point, and unhide him. Voila! You've got a nice looking jump spell:). I'll include this in the demo map I'm making, this is sure to help tons of people.
 
Oh very nice. My Halo Jump (earlier) was based off blink. Worked well, but it looked like Master Chief had pathetic knowledge on teleporting (warping 3 feet away from the old position).
 
THAT IS QUITE FRANKLY BRILLIANT....... I was thinking of a jumping ability, but i had no idea of how to do it (other than blink which as rinpun pointed out is more akin to telporting than actually jumping...)

NICE WORK look forward to it
 
Thank Tides of Blood, they gave me the idea. Their spells get me thinkin about my own, gotta love it.

I also used Cluster Rockets for a spell of mine called "Elutriate Incise" which is like a Blink, but targets a unit, and passes right through them to the other side.

Elutriate Incise - "Sol'ta may pass right through his enemies, slipping his blade into their bodies."

(Heh, sorry if I'm bragging about my abilities, but I've fallen deeply in love with my Sol'ta, Child of the Sun)
 
^Spoken like a geek :D:D:D

But thanks for that note. I don't know if my LoaP guys will jump, but I'll use that if so.

Yea, Tides of Blood has cool abilities. Their balancing and everything else sucks though.
 
Nice Idea! I was just attempting a few other jump methds with litle success. thanx for teh Idea (y)
 
hey nice idea!! i tried to do it but the "missile" who was a peasant played the "die" animation when he landed ... is there a way to not have him play the dying animation on impact??
 
umm conan could u explain plz have u made it work and looking good??? i tried to make the missile to "peasant" model and it all works well the peasant showing up "jumping" through the air in a nice arc but when he lands he plays the "Death" animation.. and it doesnt look that good anymore... have you worked around this and if thats the case could you plz tell how???
 
Don't know exactly, haha, but I'll give an example of it in the demo map I'm making. I did alot of different things to the spell, and at least one of those fixed that, but I just don't know what. You'll see soon enough. :)
 
ok thx ill look forward to it i need a jumping ability in my map too :)
 
A small problem I found with this is that it deselects the unit everytime you use it. Nothing the right trigger can't fix. Only problem, I suck at triggers.
 
Ooh, nice note! Well this trigger will fix the problem. It shouldn't be forgotten that J should be the hotkey for Jump, or maybe the up arrow key (has to be triggered).

Event Unit finishes the effect of an ability

Condition Ability equal to Jump

Action Selection - Select (Triggering unit) for Owner of (Triggering unit)
 
Hadn't thought of that. Thanks, Acehart :D
 
Alright! I'm definately going to use this ability! Thanks!
One question, when exactly did you plan to unveil your map? I'm going to die from the waiting!
 
and incase that doesnt work (or just to be alittle more specific) change triggering unit to casting unit.

    Hmm what to do about the World Editor site though?
  • Stephen Stephen:
    I'd rather personally just own a backup of the Nuon data than see it go to AtariAge honestly. If it gets enshittified as per usual, or if some of the "regular" Jaguar folks get there, it's not gonna be fun
  • The Helper The Helper:
    There will be a github of the forum data so the NUON Forum Data I guess would be available there
  • The Helper The Helper:
    World Editor is technically Ryoko stuff not mine you guys can keep that I am not in that even
  • jonas jonas:
    :( end of an era :(
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Dont think of it as an end jonas - think of it as a beginning, because really my friend that is what it is.
  • A Andyoyo:
    Thank you for the hard work over the years. It did not go unnoticed.
  • U Uberplayer:
    Thanks for everything!
  • XXXconanXXX XXXconanXXX:
    And we JUST got a new warcraft 3 campaign after 20 years! Bummer lol. Thanks for building and maintaining such an awesome community over the years TheHelper! Forums like these are definitely a relic of their time, and in its heyday it really was the place to be in its niche. Hopefully the discord community stays active!
  • WildTurkey WildTurkey:
    All the best helper
  • WildTurkey WildTurkey:

  • The Helper The Helper:
    and i dont think I am going to close the site it is just likely to change drastically but I am working on something for the interim still fleshing it out. Most of the forums are going to be gone though and the NUON site and Warcraft sites will probably to to different hosts. I might keep the news forum though :)

  • The Helper The Helper:
    So I paired down the forums to what is going to be in the interim
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I might also just go for one news forum and make it Headline News only all that sub forum stuff was busy work on my part i think :)

    If there's bits still around I am willing to bet I will be, but I honestly wouldn't be too upset if some of my teenager posts were to no longer be around. I was a little fucking problem back then

    I'm going on a backpacking trip pretty soon. I've been trying to do it for a few years now and it just couldn't happen. I'll be by myself, and I think it'll be really good for me. My pack is already too heavy so I can't bring alcohol, and that might be a benefit to me. Like had that probation and couldn't drink, but it's a bit different when you can't do something voluntarily versus threat of literal imprisonment

  • Varine Varine:
    The trail is 40 miles altogether, but I'm planning on cutting cross country a bit because I want to camp on top of this mountain. I'm bringing a little telescope, if there's still a place for it I'll post some pictures when I get back!

  • jonas jonas:
    honestly there's nothing on that trip that would become better by drinking
  • jonas jonas:
    looking forward to those pictures
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Happy Thursday people! I think I have come up with a new direction for the site. One that will never fizzle out because a game is not popular anymore. I think I am going to try to make TheHelper.net a place that helps people with real stuff as much as it did with game technical support back in the day. Stay tuned...
