Fade Filter

I've seen this done before so it has to be possible. But it's probably in JASS only. So...

How do you make it so that a fade filter only affects specific players? So when you try to blind a player, it doesn't affect all players, which is really annoying.

So Unit A isn't supposed to be affected and Unit B is supposed to be affected. How do you make a fade filter only for the owner of Unit B?

I believe there is a black marble tileset or something, add that to your map and make a small part on your map with those tiles, making it comepletely black, then using camera setting apply a camera looking down at that black area. Best i can do hope that helps-used something like that for one of my maps once. but save the settings of the previous camera of the player before doing this if he is to resume play.

Well... I don't know how it really works...

It picks every unit in an area, then makes the owner of that unit go blind with white...

is the blendmode jsut white? and the player... Can i set it to the variable SpawningPlayer by just typing SpawningPlayer?

And whats with the string tex?

Post the fade filter you whould using if you where to display it for all players, and also say what players to display it to, ie Triggering Player or a variable.
Post the GUI code for it when it displays to all players. Then I can show you the right custom script line to use.

Anyway, the function at wc3 jass uses the Cinematic fade to simulate a normal fade. A normal fade desyncs is you do it for one player only, the cinamatic one does not.

Code: 
function CinematicFadeWithUI takes real red, real green, real blue, real duration, string tex, real startTrans, real endTrans returns nothing
    if (duration == 0) then
        set startTrans = endTrans
    endif
    call SetCineFilterTexture(tex)
    call SetCineFilterBlendMode(BLEND_MODE_BLEND)
    call SetCineFilterTexMapFlags(TEXMAP_FLAG_NONE)
    call SetCineFilterStartUV(0, 0, 1, 1)
    call SetCineFilterEndUV(0, 0, 1, 1)
    call SetCineFilterStartColor(PercentTo255(red), PercentTo255(green), PercentTo255(blue), PercentTo255(100-startTrans))
    call SetCineFilterEndColor(PercentTo255(red), PercentTo255(green), PercentTo255(blue), PercentTo255(100-endTrans))
    call SetCineFilterDuration(duration)
    call DisplayCineFilter(true)
endfunction

That's his new function that doesn't remove UI control.

Code: 
FB Explode
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Flashbang Grenade
    Actions
        Set locShootingPlayer = (Owner of (Dying unit))
        Set locPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
        Sound - Stop FireSound[7] Immediately
        Sound - Play c4_explode1 <gen>
        Set FireSound[7] = (Last played sound)
        Unit - Create 1 Flashbang Effect for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at locPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        Set TempUnitGroup = (Units within 360.00 of locPoint matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set locReal = ((360.00 - (Distance between locPoint and (Position of (Picked unit)))) / 20.00)
                Set SpawningPlayer = (Owner of (Picked unit))
                Cinematic - Apply a filter over locReal seconds using Normal blending on texture White Mask, starting with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency and ending with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency
                -------- This makes it so that it stays completely white for up to based on distance from the blast 6 seconds... Right? --------
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_locPoint )
        Custom script:   set udg_locPoint = null
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup( udg_TempUnitGroup )
        Custom script:   set udg_TempUnitGroup = null

I need it to turn completely white for most of the time (At least 75%) and then slowly return to normal... If that's is possible... Otherwise it should stay white for the entire duration.

The locReal is there to keep track of the duration after applying the distance and changing it so it is no more than 6 seconds.

I changed the locReal amount a few times because the complete blindness doesn't last remotely long enough.

Oh by the way, does anybody know how to hide a filter for a specific player too? That would help SO MUCH. Because then I can just make the duration long then remove it with the fade filter, so you get a major dose of the complete blindness.

Well I only know how to do stuff in GUI... Still learning custom script...

Yours is good... But I need it to trigger for the player... And I need someone to tell me what to do with that JASS function or else I can't do it...

Trigger for the player?
What do you mean?

Dino.pl said:
You need:
-a global array unit variable "unit" (array dimensions 0-11 -> player 1 - player 12)
-an ability with point target
-a unit assigned to the "unit" array (with the Flashbang ability of course)
Click to expand...
2. Copy the getAngle function to the map's custom script (click on map name in the Trigger Editor)
3. Create a trigger named Flashbang and convert it into JASS (edit => convert to custom text or something like that)
4. Replace created trigger's code with the posted one

1, If you didn't notice... This was MOVED.
2, I need it to do something like
Code: 
FB Explode
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Flashbang Grenade
    Actions
        Set locShootingPlayer = (Owner of (Dying unit))
        Set locPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
        Sound - Stop FireSound[7] Immediately
        Sound - Play c4_explode1 <gen>
        Set FireSound[7] = (Last played sound)
        Unit - Create 1 Flashbang Effect for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at locPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        Set TempUnitGroup = (Units within 360.00 of locPoint matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set locReal = ((360.00 - (Distance between locPoint and (Position of (Picked unit)))) / 60.00)
                Set SpawningPlayer = (Owner of (Picked unit))
                Cinematic - Apply a filter over locReal seconds using Normal blending on texture White Mask, starting with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency and ending with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency
                Trigger - Run Blindness Duration <gen> (checking conditions)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_locPoint )
        Custom script:   set udg_locPoint = null
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup( udg_TempUnitGroup )
        Custom script:   set udg_TempUnitGroup = null

Replacing the apply a filter with the Specific Player Filter, which is just the filter. Nothing else. I plan to remove it with a different system.

The idea is this, Apply the filter through the Run Trigger Action... Then a unit is created for the "SpawningPlayer" which is called Flashbang Duration. It basically counts the time for you using it's hp. When it dies, a trigger will set "SpawningPlayer"=owner of dying unit and apply a fade filter for that player which will negate the previous filter, and return the vision from complete white to a fading white to a normal screen.

Here's the triggers for it. Replace the GUI Filters with JASS Filters somehow and it should work rather nicely. (For a GUI user of course.)

Code: 
FB Explode
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Flashbang Grenade
    Actions
        Set locShootingPlayer = (Owner of (Dying unit))
        Set locPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
        Sound - Stop FireSound[7] Immediately
        Sound - Play c4_explode1 <gen>
        Set FireSound[7] = (Last played sound)
        Unit - Create 1 Flashbang Effect for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at locPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        Set TempUnitGroup = (Units within 360.00 of locPoint matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set locReal = ((360.00 - (Distance between locPoint and (Position of (Picked unit)))) / 60.00)
                Set SpawningPlayer = (Owner of (Picked unit))
                Cinematic - Apply a filter over locReal seconds using Normal blending on texture White Mask, starting with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency and ending with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency
        -------- ^I need this filter effect to only affect Spawning Player. And it should basically last a long time until I remove it with the 3rd trigger.^ --------
                Trigger - Run Blindness Duration <gen> (checking conditions)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_locPoint )
        Custom script:   set udg_locPoint = null
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup( udg_TempUnitGroup )
        Custom script:   set udg_TempUnitGroup = null

Code: 
Blindness Duration
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set locPoint3 = (Position of Units[(Player number of SpawningPlayer)])
        Unit - Create 1 Flashbang Duration for SpawningPlayer at locPoint3 facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Set life of (Last created unit) to locReal
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_locPoint3 )
        Custom script:   set udg_locPoint3 = null
That trigger creates a Dummy Unit to act as a timer... There's probably better ways to do it... But it was the first idea that popped into my head and it works. And it was easy to do.


Code: 
Remove Blindness
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Flashbang Duration
    Actions
        Set SpawningPlayer = (Owner of (Dying unit))
        Cinematic - Apply a filter over 2.00 seconds using Normal blending on texture White Mask, starting with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency and ending with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 100.00% transparency
        -------- ^I need this filter effect to only affect Spawning Player.^ --------

The idea is Create, Wait for Duration to End, and Replace with a filter that actually fades before the game ends lol.

Get the idea?

custom script: endif
would cause desyncs, so you need to do it other way.


Convert it to JASS (better backup first), put
Code: 
    if (bj_cineFadeContinueTimer != null) then
        call DestroyTimer(bj_cineFadeContinueTimer)
    endif
    if (bj_cineFadeFinishTimer != null) then
        call DestroyTimer(bj_cineFadeFinishTimer)
    endif
at the beggining of your Trig_whatever_Actions
And replace
Code:

//I mean, replace it's JASS equivalent
with
Code: 
if (GetLocalPlayer() == Player(my_loopIndex)) then
            call SetCineFilterTexture("ReplaceableTextures\\CameraMasks\\White_mask.blp")
            call SetCineFilterBlendMode(BLEND_MODE_BLEND)

            call SetCineFilterEndColor(255, 255, 255, 255)
            call SetCineFilterDuration(whatever_you_want)
            call DisplayCineFilter(true)
        endif


You have to do something similar to your remove blindness trigger.

No, no you're not getting it...

Okay... I will make a Fade Filter trigger, putting the JASS equivalent there. Then I remove the old GUI one and use a run trigger to use the JASS equivalent... Or whatever it is... Maybe it's script... Whatever...

Anyway, I WILL be using
Code: 
            call SetCineFilterTexture("ReplaceableTextures\\CameraMasks\\White_mask.blp")
            call SetCineFilterBlendMode(BLEND_MODE_BLEND)
            call SetCineFilterTexMapFlags(TEXMAP_FLAG_NONE)
            call SetCineFilterStartUV(0, 0, 1, 1)
            call SetCineFilterEndUV(0, 0, 1, 1)
            call SetCineFilterStartColor(255, 255, 255, 255)
            call SetCineFilterEndColor(255, 255, 255, 255)
            call SetCineFilterDuration(locReal)
            call DisplayCineFilter(true)
        endif

But what I'm trying to figure out is HOW to do that, and what to change...

Nvm... After some research I got it. It works perfectly now. It looks great. Completely blind for a few seconds(Max:6) then vision returns to normal over 6 seconds. Looks awesome! :shades:
