System ForceKeySystem

[Executor]

    private static method TimerEx takes nothing returns nothing
        local thistype this = .front
        
        loop
            exitwhen this == -1
            
            if GetLocalPlayer() == .user then
                call ForceUIKey(.HOTKEY)
                call SelectUnit(.dummy, true)
            endif
            
            set this = .next
        endloop
            
    endmethod

Lol I read "OMG DON'T USE A TIMER", because everything else wouldn't have made sense.

You didn't see anything...

I never said anything.

Except for the thing about possibly adding about 8 button slots to the unit infocard. Wouldn't that be magical?

 

[Executor]

.

Why 8 buttons, I dunnot really understand?

 

[Azlier]

Here's one word hint: Transport.

 

[Executor]

Ah, k I thought of abilities and ... don't ask me

Yea nice idea, but thats a question of design and imo my current version isn't that unaesthetic. Although.. alright 8 black buttons would look cooler

Still: Criticism, Feedback, Rep, Approve?

 

[Executor]

*Bump*

Good, bad, .. anything?

 

[Azlier]

Well, I have bad news. Using the transport ability for clickable buttons is not possible.

 

[Executor]

Why not?

 

[Azlier]

It just... doesn't work. Clicking the buttons makes them do that nice little "button click" animation, but no order is fired. There's no event.

 

[Executor]

Tested it too, sad.

Nvm ideas to improve?

 

[Executor]

I think this system is finished now

 

[Executor]

Would some mod have the mood to look over this and then judge it (justified GY or approvement)? I'm sick of holding this thread on the first page.

call SetUnitUserData(.dummy, this)

This is pretty nasty. You've used unit user data without documenting it. I know that would screw up several indexing systems.

You don't document what any of the functions do. Not even what a "special click" is.

 

[Executor]

Updated.

I stick to unit userdata, cause it only affects my own dummies. Hope the doc is enough
