JASS Scripting Help

[Jindo]

I am having trouble with something. I needed a code/trigger so that you slide along a certain type of tile (ice, shallow water .etc)

Also, I needed a code/trigger that changes a tile so that it looks different and kills you (like in a maze game, the path would turn to the stuff that you must avoid every 3 or so seconds)

I've looked up triggers or things that could do this but havent succeded. I am asuming now that this kind of stuff is done with JASS.

If anyone could help me that would be very great!

Thanks.

I've never seen a game that can activly change terrain tiles. Are you sure this is even possible?

 

[Jindo]

come to think of it... i have seen a game that can do this

It is called "maze of lava", they made an effect on the ground were it made a wavy effect.

Well it is possible... somehow, I will look into it more.

PS: The map is protected so good luck trying to look in that map

making the ground wavy is not a change of terrain is a action. Look for it in actions, iv seen it in weu

There is an action to change terrrain at target... and the wavy thing is like a ripple effect

I think i have found a way for the tile changing thanks for your help

But i still need to find out the slppery tiles (eg. you step on ice and then you keep going until you reach non-ice).

If anyone can find that plz tell me

You could do something like:

1) Pause the unit that steps on the ice so it is "helpless"
2) Create a dummy unit at the exact position of the unit that just stepped on the ice
3) Lock the chest of the unit that stepped on the ice to the dummy unit
4) Order the dummy unit to move until it reaches a non-ice terrain type or an obstacle
5) When the dummy unit reaches a non-ice terrain type (or some type of obstacle or thing that stops it from sliding), then unlock the units, unpause the unit on the ice, and remove the dummy unit
