need a tester

[Neo_HoJo]

Hi, Warcraft isn't working now that one of my mem chips blew, so i'm going to need someone to test this for me.

Type "view" to change view modes, in one of the view modes you can rotate the camera to the direction that your character is facing.
Someone please find bugs for me, and if it works, than enjoy the demo.

I have fixed my map not to crash (I think). I would re-attach it, but it wont let me after I deleted the old one.

After loading the map, my game proceeded to draw one animation frame every 2 minutes, which made it completely unplayable. It took me 5 minutes just to quit because my computer wouldn't accept input while the game was freezing.

Something is horribly wrong with the map.

(It isn't my game because other maps work fine)

 

[Neo_HoJo]

Alright, here's the new(er) version of the map, and today everyone learned something (NEVER have a trigger that has an event of every 0.00 seconds of the game, muchless one per person)

 

[Swilo]

OMG LOL
Every 0 seconds?!

 

[Neo_HoJo]

Hey Swilo, did you download the most recent version of my map??
I'm pretty sure that it's fixed, but I'm in the same boat as HELLSS, and I've gotta save money for NandesKahn, so I won't be able to test my maps for a bit...

Multiboards

How do you multiboards so that they show up only to 1 person like in heroes and empires or genesis of empires?

This should get it's own thread. (after searching for an answer with the handy-dandy search function)

I would ask but Squad is afk and legacy is offline... This is something I was wondering myself, Im sure it requires JASS maybe its a WEU function (But it aint worth it dont start). Leaderboards can be single-player too. You can also have 1 per player etc. I am using them for stats in my GTA map.

ok.. one BIG bug i found when i loaded the map.

the view is stuck to the center of the map. i typed in view but it only changed the direction the view is facing. each time i move the view it reverts back to the center a second later.
i couldn't even move tward my unit to select it at all.

looks like u have a lot of work to do.

o and i didn't vote the poll because i couldnt see anything.

Testing, will get back to you in a minite about it

I also got the view bug, you might want to fix it

and also the way you made the triggers, you could have made them with 3 triggers with arrays instead of 1 var for each player

Multiboard

To show a multiboard for 1 person only (everyone his own) requires the use of LocalPlayer (jass). This function should only be used if you are 100% sure that it's used correctly because else the game will result into a game split (half the people leave).

Easiest way how to set one up is doing this:

Make a new trigger. In this example i will just use Multiboard as name.
Put as event map initilialisation or when you want the multiboard to show.
Then go to edit, convert to custom text. It will look like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
function Trig_Multiboard_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

//========================================================
function InitTrig_Multiboard takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Multiboard = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Multiboard, function Trig_Multiboard_Actions )
endfunction
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we got a trigger with a name and it runs when map starts. Now we just simple add the group which should get a multiboard (Everyone in this example) and put it in the function like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
function Trig_Multiboard_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call ForForce( GetPlayersAll(), function ShowMultiboard )
endfunction
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Next step is we add a variable. In the example i call it Multiboards.
Make it as type Multiboard and an array.

Now for the last function

function MultiboardShow takes nothing returns nothing
if GetEnumPlayer() == GetLocalPlayer() then
call MultiboardDisplayBJ( true, udg_Multiboards[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetEnumPlayer() )] )
endif
endfunction

make sure that the call is put on 1 line (it's too long here it seems). Put this above the other text and you will get as total trigger this:

function MultiboardShow takes nothing returns nothing
if GetEnumPlayer() == GetLocalPlayer() then
call MultiboardDisplayBJ( true, udg_Multiboards[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetEnumPlayer() )] )
endif
endfunction

function Trig_MultiboardShow_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call ForForce( udg_AttackerGroup, function MultiboardShow )
endfunction

//========================================================
function InitTrig_Multiboard takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Multiboard = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Multiboard, function Trig_Multiboard_Actions )
endfunction

Couple more things. Make sure to make a multiboard for every player before this trigger is run and that they are set to not visible. (If you dont want it to run on map inate or want to be sure to make you rmultiboard faster uncheck run at map initalisation on top of the screen. and pick another trigger and add the Gui statement:

Trigger - Run Multiboard <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Sorry for double post i made a small glitch in last final code and can't edit it.

AttackerGroup should be GetPlayersAll() Here is code again.

function MultiboardShow takes nothing returns nothing
if GetEnumPlayer() == GetLocalPlayer() then
call MultiboardDisplayBJ( true, udg_Multiboards[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetEnumPlayer() )] )
endif
endfunction

function Trig_MultiboardShow_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call ForForce( GetPlayersAll(), function MultiboardShow )
endfunction

//========================================================
function InitTrig_Multiboard takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Multiboard = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Multiboard, function Trig_Multiboard_Actions )
endfunction
