Flip with JASS

[Alphonse]

Can someone tell me how to make a unit make a flip with JASS?

 

[SFilip]

never seen it done...what makes you think its possible?

 

[Alphonse]

I've seen it done so many times... :banghead:

 

[corvusHaunt]

Like a back/front flip?

No, not with JASS. It was just a unit's animation, like the trolls. Don't tell me "No it had to be JASS because JASS is magical and the unit was a footman", because JASS is far from magical, and if it was something like a footman, it was a model edit to add the animation. Sorry if JASS has dissapointed you.

Then why when people ask how to make a flip in my clan they say:

flip - 3 ways.

way 1 (best):
learn jass and make it like they did in one of the maps for the blizzard sports contest, no link right now.

way 2:
watch the vision by thegreatnoob, where he uses a camera trick when the terrain is hidden to make it seem as if the dude is backfliping.

way 3:
make one unit per angle of the jump, the more units for a smoother jump.

an example of this is in one of my old uncompleted cinematics, battle cinematic duel. find it at my maps site.

because they don't know jass themselves and think everything is possible with it?

There is no way with only jass to make a unit flip, you must use a model somewhere in the code (or way 2/3 above). For example: Vexorians caster system uses an invisible unit with about 180 different animations to simulate a flip.

WOW Let's see who's better you or Rulerofiron99 on triggers :nuts:

 

[corvusHaunt]

I would bet my life there is no way to do this, even with JASS, with no custom units or animations.

 

[Alphonse]

Do you want me to post you the map where it's done?

 

[AceHart]

Yes.

http://www.freewebs.com/rulerofiron99/downloads.htm scroll max down at Cancelled / Unfinished and select Battle Cinematic Duel, here you go.

 

[SFilip]

wait, this is simply the "way 3" you stated...from what i see no one claimed that to be impossible.
show us a map that actually uses "way 1"...

 

[Alphonse]

No, I posted this to corvusHaunt he said that it cannot be done in any way.I just wanted to show him that there is atleast one way, I think.

We know there are ways, but we said in general its not worth it.

The way he did it is kinda rediculous and choppy to teh extreme.

 

[Alphonse]

Yea, your right. Maybe if made more untis the flip could get smoother?

 

[SFilip]

more units = more loading time for the map.
the best way really would be to find someone that can do a flip animation for you...

 

[corvusHaunt]

No, I posted this to corvusHaunt he said that it cannot be done in any way.

no way to do this, even with JASS, with no custom units or animations.

Btw I found a map that there was made a flip with a JASS. If someone want's to see it say so, and is there someone who could make a flip animation for a unit?
