Movespeed check

[elementrmx]

I have an ability whose level I want to be equivalent to the units movespeed. In other words, when he moves at 100-199 ms, its level one, 200-299 ms, its level two. My question is in the event trigger do I need to list, when a unit picks up an item, is targeted by a spell, castes an ability, ect. or is there some other way of doing it?

just check it's ms whenever he casts it and change it then

The question is not when to check, but HOW to check.

I honestly wouldn't know xD

Sorry, I wasnt clear. The ability is passive, and I want it to change levels depending on whatever his current movespeed is. So, if he gets frost nova'd, it levels down, but if he buys boots of speed it level up.

Sounds like you should use a periodic event. Make it like every second.

If I have frequent periodic events like this will it slow the game down?

 

[Ghan]

Only if the trigger has leaks in it.

What does your ability do, out of interest? There might be a better way.

REAL VALUE: Current movement speed of Triggering Unit

you need to convert it to integer to use it for a spell,
probably thats why you didn't find it.

And here is my little -ms command

Command ms
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
        Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
        Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
        Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
        Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
        Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
        Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
        Player - Player 12 (Brown) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set U_msUnit = A_HeroesArray[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
        Set i_msCurrent = (Integer((Current movement speed of A_HeroesArray[(Player number of (Triggering player))])))
        Set i_msDefault = (Integer((Default movement speed of A_HeroesArray[(Player number of (Triggering player))])))
        Set i_msDifference = (i_msCurrent - i_msDefault)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                i_msDifference Greater than 0
            Then - Actions
                Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: (|c00FFCC00Movespeed: |c000000FF + ((String(i_msCurrent)) + ( (|c00FFCC00 + ((String(i_msDefault)) + (|c0000FF00+ + ((String(i_msDifference)) + |c000000FF)))))))
            Else - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        i_msDifference Less than 0
                    Then - Actions
                        Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: (|c00FFCC00Movespeed: |c000000FF + ((String(i_msCurrent)) + ( (|c00FFCC00 + ((String(i_msDefault)) + (|c00FF0000 + ((String(i_msDifference)) + |c000000FF)))))))
                    Else - Actions
                        Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: (|c00FFCC00Movespeed: |c000000FF + (String(i_msCurrent)))

Note: this command works better than the one in dota.

 

[Sim]

He isn't looking for an -ms command though.

--------------------------------

Use Periodic Events.

Movespeed and Ability
    Events
        Time - Every 0.25 seconds of game-time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Group_Var = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) Unit-type) Equal to *Your_Hero*))
        Unit Group - Pick every units in Group_Var and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Real_Var = (Current movement speed of (Picked unit)
                Unit - Set the level of *Ability* for (Picked unit) to ((Integer((Real_Var) / 100.00)))
        Custom script:    call DestroyGroup(udg_Group_Var)

Should work out good!

Only if the trigger has leaks in it.

Let me get this straight, if i have multiple triggers that are running every .25 seconds, it will not cause the game to lag?

 

[Sim]

No, unless they leak. Even if they run every 0.01 seconds it won't lag unless they leak.
