Demo Map Increasing Wisp Wheel Radius Smaller or Bigger

[w00t22]

Wisp Wheels Increasing Radius​

Variables at creation

• Wheel_Angle - Real - Default
• Wheel_Point - Point - Default
• WheelGroup - Unit Group - Default
• Wisp_Distance - Real - Default
• Wisp_Grow - Boolean - Default (false)

Theres two triggers. First one will create the wisps at points and add them to a group. The trigger creates the wisps 75 points from the players start and puts them in a circle 60 points from each other. 6 wisps total.

    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Wheel_Point = ((Player 1 (Red) start location) offset by 150.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x 60.00) degrees)
                Unit - Create 1 Wisp for Player 1 (Red) at Wheel_Point facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to WheelGroup
                Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to ((Integer A) x 60)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Wheel_Point)
                Custom script:   set udg_Wheel_Point = null
                Set Wisp_Distance = 150.00
                Set Wisp_grow = True
        Trigger - Turn on Wheel On <gen>

Then my second trigger will do 3 things. First it will check to see if the wheel is bigger than 700 points from origin to wisp. if it is it will set Wisp_Grow to false. Then if it isn't, it will check if it is smaller than 100 points from origin to wisp. If it is it will set Wisp_Grow true. Then if Wisp_Grow is true it will set the distance to increase by 1 point every .04 seconds but if false it will set -1 point every .04 seconds. Then it will move the wisp to the spot depending on wisp angle and wisp distance. Wisp angle is periodically increased by 1 point every .04 seconds.

Enjoy. If you want it to be faster change the coloured parts. Blue is distance and orange is speed, and lime green is for how big or small you want the wheel to get.

oh man your the best XD
1) this is alot easier then what i came up with
and 2) the wheel flows alot better then mine, mine was all choppy and you couldnt make them go slower cause it got messed but
thank you

Cool

Real nice but how do you do if you want an ability that makes a unit cirle around you and damage all unit's that it hits? I can't get your wisp wheel to follow a unit in your test game so then I have no idea how to make this spell...

hey i made a spell like this a while back when i was working on a hero arena i think its pretty much what you wanted
it makes 2 units spin around the hero, and it damages enemy units, and for it to hit the units and damage use permanent immlation

this makes the starting effect and the spinning units are created

here you can see the units

My demo map has the death when you come to close to a unit ability here

To make the wisps following a person chnage this action at the very end of wheel on. CHange the bolded part to whatever you want for the wisps move around.

Unit Group - Pick every unit in WheelGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Wheel_Point = [B](Wisp 001) [/B]offset by Wisp_Distance towards ((Real((Custom value of (Picked unit)))) + Wheel_Angle) degrees)
                Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to Wheel_Point
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Wheel_Point)
                Custom script:   set udg_Wheel_Point = null

Nice!

Thanks to both of you! Now it works perfectly

Curiousity Killed the Cat

Just curious, i was wondering if u could help me, i was hoping yo do a wisp wheel that has multiple wheels with 4 wisps per wheel and they create 4 lines of wisps coming from the centre, i was wondering if it is possible to make the lines shrink and extened at points rather than the whole wheel shrinking and then extendind for the whole circumfrence

any help would be much appreciated thx

I am also having trouble with the call commands for the location etc i tryed to copy and paste the ones in the example but they disabled my trigger any suggestions? thx

 

[Drunken_God]

do you have the same variable? its case sensitive

@BRUTAL

Why are the spinning effects in the ground? Shouldn't they like, rotate around his chest?

I can do it but i do not feel like it. And no offense but if you cant get call commands working what your looking for would be very hard for you, all you need is arrays and loops to do it.
