Need suggestions for conversion.

Vulcansurge · May 14, 2007

These are the triggers im currently using in my map MOTHERSHIPS, to make small ships and make the fly around you main Mothership (its meant to be sorta like passive locust swarm...). I've decided to either convert it to JASS, and im not sure ever where to start. Im new to JASS as of about a month ago, but im sure you'll be able to throw most ideas at me with me understanding.

I dont expect you to read all of this, but try if you can. There is a breif description at the bottom of each one.

Code:

ShipAquire
    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    Conditions
    Actions
        -------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
        -------- Basically creates the ships whenever unit aquires the items.                              --------
        -------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
        -------- Creates variables for the ships so they can fly around the mothership.               --------
        -------- Variables are player number multiplied by integer A, so Player One gets:            --------
        -------- 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91 and 101 (player 2 gets 12, 22, 32...)              --------
        -------- There is a maximum of 10 units per squad, to eliminate lag.                               --------
        -------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
        -------- Cannot have more than one of the same squad because of this.                       --------
        -------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------

This moves each ship to random locations around the main ship.

Thanks in advance if you can help. Im sure if you read even half of this you've earnt my +rep.

Don't attempt to do it until you are good in JASS, wait and do it alone, if people would do it for you and they'll have mistakes it would ruin your map. I heard more then once about someone who attempted to covert GUI to JASS when he had no knowledge of JASS and becuase of that his map was destroyed.

Vulcansurge · May 14, 2007

Im doing the conversion myself, but I need suggestions...

IKilledKEnny · May 14, 2007

Mind giving details? Try to do it yourself and when you are done post the finished work.

Vulcansurge · May 14, 2007

Sigh...

OK im doing it myself. Ive already had attempt but it didnt work well. If anyone has any ideas about how to convert it here are deatails:

- I want the ability to be MUI, so local variables might be required.
- I want to condese it down to a single trigger.
- I want to be able to control the movement with an ability in a seperate trigger. (spread out, attack enemies, retreat - these only need to use movement and hide triggers).
- It would be good if the ships flew realisticly like they do in locust swarm.

> I dont expect you to read all of this, but try if you can.

Chocobo did a JASS version of Locust Swarm, use search and you will find it. Then change it to your needs.

elmstfreddie · May 14, 2007

Well actually I just thought of a way to do it.
You do all the events n conditions (well you'll need a separate set of triggers for my idea, one for each item) then you have local item = item being manipulated, and local unit (the unit that acquired it), and a local unit array that is undefined. THEN you create 1 xwing, make that one unit[1], then make another, unit[2], etc.
Then you run a function you made that takes the amount of xwings. So, function Xwing_Fly takes XWing1 unit, XWing2 unit, XWing3 unit, etc. It should also take the item being manipulated, and the unit that acquired the item. Then, it runs a loop that exits when the unit that acquired the item doesn't have the specified item anymore. But inside the loop it has a wait, then it orders the different XWings (1-10, a loop inside the loop if you wish) to move to a random place around the hero.

I think that would work.
Sorry if I confused you, I could quickly make it if I did.
Actually, I'll make it anyways. I'll edit this post when I'm done.

Edit > Ok, this is only the actions, but the event should just be a unit acquires an item.

Chocobo did a JASS version of Locust Swarm, use search and you will find it. Then change it to your needs.

Its GUI. I need JASS becuase of the sheer number of units flying around.

Well actually I just thought of a way to do it.

Its nice elmst. Great constant functions. Looks like its MUI too, awesome

What are the actions you're using for it? [edit] I got the actions. Same as the one I was using before...

It crashes in game... Unfortunate. [edit] I fixed it. Now they dont seem to move to random spots.

[edit] I got it running. Ive made a few adjustments but I need to know what to change to allow the ships to move over a greater area.

[edit] Is there also anyway I might be able to make it more realistic like locust swarm in that they are constantly moving instead of in intervals of 1sec... I wonder if I could use a spell to make them come out and go in too... Maybe even attack.

[edit] Does this leak? Im pretty sure I might have to set the point it moves to before the unit goes there wont I?

Ok to edit the distance it flies to

JASS:

(CurrentX + (GetRandomReal(1.00,100.00)) * Cos((GetRandomReal(0.00,360.00)) * 180.00/3.14159))
endfunction

Edit the GetRandomReal(1.00,100.00). That is the distance.

To make them constantly moving, just reduce the trigger wait OR have another trigger that if a unit stops, and the unit is one of the flying things, order them to move to a random spot around their player's mothership.

Does this leak? Im pretty sure I might have to set the point it moves to before the unit goes there wont I?

I forgot to null everything, that's all you need to do I'm pretty sure.
Null Owner, XWingItem, and XWings.
Oh, and yeah, it's MUI. So you can have more than 1 type of ship per mothership.

It doesn't have any, constant functions are like this:

JASS:

constant function AbilID takes nothing returns integer
    return &#039;A000&#039;
endfunction

Do you have the init functions because that is necessary.

He said he got it to work, so obviously he figured about the event and conditions
