System Lightning

[Frozenhelfir]

A feature request: If the hits enemies boolean is false on the Ex version, have it bounce to units that are missing health rather than ones at full health, or have a boolean for that .

You should note why you are asking for this, which is that you're too lazy to use the provided attachment.

 

[Frozenhelfir]

I don't understand. The attachment had nothing to do with that. I used it to learn how to use the system. It is too complicated for me to understand. Same with nesths stuff, and there don't seem to be any tutorials that cover the ground from beginning level to your level :|

>If the hits enemies boolean is false on the Ex version, have it bounce to units that are missing health rather than ones at full health, or have a boolean for that

I assume that is because you wanted to use both ChainLightning and ChainLightningEx at the same time? You could deal the damage through ChainLightningEx instead...

 

[Frozenhelfir]

No, when you set the boolean to hit allies, it will go for the closest ally, instead of going for ones that are missing hitpoints. This is my request, to make a boolean so that it bounces towards the closest unit missing hp (boolean toggled)

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Can't you just change it yourself in the code?

I already said I don't understand it >_<

This code is great for editing...

    //===========================================================
    // Callback Snippets
    // 
    
    //! textmacro CL__OnAoE takes DIPLOMACY, DIPLOMACY_CAPS
        private static method onAoE$DIPLOMACY$ takes nothing returns boolean
            set Unit=GetFilterUnit()
            if IsUnit$DIPLOMACY$(Unit,Owner) and IsUnitAlive(Unit) then
                if not (IsUnitInGroup(Unit,Hit) or IsUnitType(Unit,UNIT_TYPE_MAGIC_IMMUNE)) then
                    set X2=GetUnitX(Unit)-X
                    set Y2=GetUnitY(Unit)-Y
                    set ThisRange=X2*X2+Y2*Y2
                    if ThisRange<Range then
                        set Range=ThisRange
                        set Target=Unit
                    endif
                endif
            endif
            return false
        endmethod
        static boolexpr FILTER_ON_AOE_$DIPLOMACY_CAPS$
    //! endtextmacro

Change

                    set X2=GetUnitX(Unit)-X
                    set Y2=GetUnitY(Unit)-Y
                    set ThisRange=X2*X2+Y2*Y2

to

                    set ThisRange=GetWidgetLife(Unit)

Should do it.
Edit: Oh, should also change:

set Range=this.maxHopDistance*this.maxHopDistance

to

set Range='HUGE'

or something.

Sorry for being noob but anyone know why I keep crashing I think i did it right

function Trig_MoonKey_Effect_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( UnitHasItemOfTypeBJ(GetEventDamageSource(), 'kymn') == true ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    if ( not ( GetRandomInt(1, 100) <= 50 ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_MoonKey_Effect_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call ChainLightning(GetEventDamageSource(),GetEventDamageSource(),GetTriggerUnit(), "FORK",120.00,3)
    call ChainLightning_ColorLast(1,0,1)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_MoonKey_Effect takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t= CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerAddCondition( t, Condition( function Trig_MoonKey_Effect_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function Trig_MoonKey_Effect_Actions )
    call Damage_RegisterEvent(t)
endfunction

Edit: lol, Copy and Paste FTW

function ChainLightning takes unit caster, unit source, unit target, string whichCode, real damage, integer hops returns nothing

[Jesus4Lyf]

Looks alright to me, at a glance. Try fiddling with it, and comparing to the demo map?

 

[Jedi]

Maybe that is because chain lightning fires damage event again ?

That's a really good point. You may want to limit it to attacks from the user, by adding a check for Damage_IsAttack() being true..

I said that to him/her at the jass section but no reply at all o.o

OMG LOL!!! I forgot about that.
