Load transperancy value

[X.Terror.X]

is it posible to load/get the value of a unit currents transerpancy?

so if transperancy = 10% i want to do this
change unit vertix colouring ---> [transperancy] = artemic == [get transperancy + 10%

Well, you could simply use the JASS native for it... It doesn't use %, but actuall values so it's easier to maintain

It looks like this:
[ljass]native SetUnitVertexColor takes unit whichUnit, integer red, integer green, integer blue, integer alpha returns nothing[/ljass]

So, you could do this with a custom script:

• Vertex Coloring
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 1 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetUnitVertexColor(GetTriggerUnit(), 255,255,255,0)
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Wait 0.10 seconds
        • Custom script: call SetUnitVertexColor(GetTriggerUnit(), 255, 255, 255, 10 * bj_forLoopAIndex)

i know thats basicly the same like GUI but u use loop
but icanot use loop since that will glitch with other units

its just 1 trigger based that reduces 10% trans and then removes but if u use loop it gets removed to early and it doesnt look realistic
thats why i want to load the value and not use loop

Well, don't know if this is either what you're looking for, or if it even works but...

• Vertex Coloring
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 1 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to TempGroup
    • Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to 100

• Vertex Color Timer
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Custom value of (Picked unit)) Greater than or equal to 95
          • Then - Actions
            • Custom script: call SetUnitVertexColor( GetEnumUnit(), 255, 255, 255, GetUnitUserData(GetEnumUnit()) -5)
            • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to ((Custom value of (Picked unit)) - 5)
          • Else - Actions

            • Custom script: call SetUnitVertexColor( GetEnumUnit(), 255, 255, 255, GetUnitUserData(GetEnumUnit()) + 5)

ok i in putted the custom value but didnt worked yet
i show you my trigger

Btw, is nothing happening with your trigger there ? :S

 

[X.Terror.X]

alredy answered that its not working no

its because i made the custom value in a other trigger?
ive made the basic custom value in the first trigger mabye that whould be the problem


[nsd works but in the second trigger the custo mvalue proberly doesnt work]

 

[Komaqtion]

Yes, custom values can be used in other triggers...
They're attached to the units, not the triggers so can be used anywhere

Or, do you mean you have another trigger which sets the custom value again ? :S

 

[X.Terror.X]

no only the trigger that i am showing

They're attached to the units, not the triggers so can be used anywhere
and they are attached to the units but i dont think it works with pick every unit in group because it only takes the info for only for 1 unit at least it reacts like that
i made a game text of the custom value
i see every 0.2 seconds seeing the numbers going -10 and it doesnt stop while it should show the value of each unit i hope u understand me


excample for 2 units
u see now 90 80 70
but if u got for excample 2 units it it is like this, every 0.2 second u will see
90 90 80 80 70 70


each color is for a unit excample what unit gives

 

[Komaqtion]

Yeah, but you mean that it only shows as if there were only 1 unit ? :S

So you mean that it's like, non-MUI ? :S

Well, my trigger isn't (non-MUI , I mean XD)
Why not use it ?

 

[X.Terror.X]

i dont undererstand ur trigger how it works ~.~! sorry

 

[Komaqtion]

My trigger works as such that it'll decrease a units custom value (If they're in a specific unit-group) until it comes to a specific value (In my example, it's 50% transparency), then it starts to make it visible again, until it gets to 100%...

But what is it exactly you want to do with your trigger there ? :S

 

[X.Terror.X]

picking every unit in unit group and for every unit u change the custom value at least that whould be the point with ,pick every unit in unit group,

but instead it only does it for one[i think] while u got multiple units sprawning somethimes per half a second


Edit* the fade is just for changing transperancy from 100 to 0 when its 0 it removes the unit just a naturaly fade
[idea] if the trans realy doesnt work i make it windwalk perhaps for fading time
but i whould liek to know if this is posible learning things is often more importand then making a map on the hardest way if u understand what i mean

 

[X.Terror.X]

ok i fixed it the problems were i did transperancy from 100 to 0 while i should be from 0 to 100

and the get picked unit while waiting 1 second didnt worked out so the unit wasnt removed

thanks anyway i know hwo to use custom value it helped alot
