JASS - Creating a Passive Ability in Jass

[Darthfett]

The event loop should stop after 11, not after 12.

Player(11) = Player 12 (Brown).

Player 12 is one of the neutral players.

It seems to be a tutorial for teaching people the proper way to do the spell, for the most part.

I was hoping someone wouldn't notice. But.. too late.
Fixed now.

Thanks

hmm i noticed for the add condition you used

call TriggerAddCondition(t, Filter(function Cons))

whats the difference between Filter and Conditon? like

call TriggerAddCondition(t, Condition(function Cons))

?

 

[Flare]

Nothing really, other than length, AFAIK - they both return a sub-type of boolexpr (so, I don't think there's any situation where you need Filter over Condition)

 

[Romek]

There is no difference really. Filter and Condition both return something that extends boolexpr.
And there are only 2 functions which require a specific filterfunc or conditionfunc. And those are "DestroyCondition" and "DestroyFilter" (Or something like that)
It really doesn't matter anyway, as "DestroyBoolexpr" is also available

Neat and tidy.

I would approve it if you attached a demo map, also.

Done.

Well.. Maybe.

This is what most passive abilities are anyway.

I might make an Auras tutorial too though.
...And maybe a 'normal spells' one.

Then I'd have a collection of "How to make a Spell" tutorials

Might I be able to make a request then? I'm having trouble figuring a way to make a spell fire some sort of a homing projectile and then do some action when it finally hits the unit. I would like to know a way to do this without creating a dummy unit to attack etc. I haven't been able to find a tutorial that covers this.

 

[Lehona]

EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ATTACKED isn't very good, since you can trick it by spamming the stop order. With this exploit you will possess every enemy (except heroes of course) very fast. I'm very new to (v)Jass, but won't detecting damage be better? Even if there's a knockback system? I mean, you can check if the damage is done by the knockback and stop the trigger. I think, that won't cause much lag. If that's wrong, correct me please^^

 

[Romek]

That has been answered before.

If you want to learn Jass, I suggest you check out my other tutorial.
(See my archive in my sig)

 

[Lehona]

Sorry, didn't notice that even this 'idea' has been answered. But anyway, it would nice, if you fix this exploit.

I already did your tutorial and this one, too^^
I know some other languages, so it wasn't that hard.

 

[Romek]

So we've advanced a step. You're now aware that the question was answered.
Time to read the answer now.

If you have any JASS questions, be sure to make a thread in Jass Help.
(I'm glad people are still JASSing. )

Grr, you got me. I was too lazy to check all posts

Don't care about this, if i have questions, i will post them in the right forum. But I think I understand everything yet

Btw.: Very nice Tutorials :thup:

what can cause it?

 

[Romek]

Don't use TESH's 'Syntax Check' button; it doesn't support vJass, and isn't too good with JASS either.

Use save to compile the map.

 

[jomik]

Hey, I have a problem, I open the demo map in NewGen WE, and try to test it through that. But it doesn't open the map, it just shows me the main menu in the warcraft window... I try to go to the Single Player - Custom Game and open the map there, but I can't. Any ideas why?

 

[Komaqtion]

Well, it works for me...

Are you sure you have Newgen, and you manually save the map and also have "Reinventing the Craft" disabled ?

 

[jomik]

Yup completely >.<

 

[Ichigo654]

thx man this is is a big help :thup::thup:

 

[Scighera]

Hi, im a newbie. Thanks for ur tutorial its really help. But this passive ability can be abused by repeatly tap 's', is there any way to limit the ability from being abuse?
