I need to detect the collision size of units and destructibles

[Idontknowyou]

is it possible to do this using GUI or JASS?

Thanks

No problem

I don't know much about JASS, could you explain how I would use this?

 

[Komaqtion]

Ok...

The function you use is called: [ljass]GetUnitCollisionSize[/ljass]
And that is simply used like this:

call GetUnitCollisionSize( whichUnit )

Where "whichUnit" is the unit you want to get the collision size of...

If you want to use this for GUI purposes, I'd suggest you do something like this:

• Custom script: set udg_TempReal = GetUnitCollisionSize( GetTriggerUnit() )

That would set the collision size of (Triggering unit) to a variable (Of type "real") called "TempReal"

Hope you understand this a little at least

Yes, thank you very much.


One more question. If I switch the words "unit" with "destructible", will the trigger still work properly? if not, I'll need a bit more help.

 

[Komaqtion]

Oh, I only saw "units" in the first post XD
(Didn't see "destructibles" )

Well, I might be able to alter it to work for destructables too :S

Wait a minute...

Thanks for all the help!

I'm making a game based on metal gear and needed to measure the size of destructibles in order for you to hide behind them properly....... it figures Blizzard would make such a simple thing so difficult.


Edit: are you still working on the trigger? or did you give up on it?
