Point Conversions

[SD_Ryoko]

Why is there no

Set POINT = (x,y)? why must we gimic it with center of region, offset, polar offset, etc?

I want to set POINT = (x max of region, y of point)

 

[sATARa]

I think there is an option called convert coordinates to point..

 

[Darg]

what he said ^^

the function is called "conversion - convert co-ordinates to point"

i'll send you a pm soon satara (when i get time)

What the heck man....

I've got a region for a coin bash game.

You bash another player, and it sends him flying.

But I need to check if the player went outside of bounds, and place it back in.

Buts its not working. Heh heh. I even drew a coordinate diagram, and passed three points coords through my equations. Checks out OKAY. I'm stumped. Its all custom text because of local point variable.

function Trig_Bash_Create_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local location MyPoint
   [b]Wait[/b]
    call TriggerSleepAction( 0.30 ) 
    call CreateItemLoc( 'I005', PolarProjectionBJ(GetUnitLoc(GetAttackedUnitBJ()), 100.00, GetRandomReal(0, 360.00)) )
   [b]Calc the offset[/b]
    set MyPoint = PolarProjectionBJ(GetUnitLoc(GetAttackedUnitBJ()), 250.00, AngleBetweenPoints(GetUnitLoc(GetAttacker()), GetUnitLoc(GetAttackedUnitBJ())))
   [b]Check min x of region[/b]
    if ( GetLocationX(MyPoint) < GetRectMinX(gg_rct_Coin_Bash) ) then
        set MyPoint = Location(GetRectMinX(gg_rct_Coin_Bash), GetLocationY(MyPoint))
    else
        call DoNothing(  )
    endif
   [b]Check max x of region[/b]
    if ( GetLocationX(MyPoint) > GetRectMaxX(gg_rct_Coin_Bash) ) then
        set MyPoint = Location(GetRectMaxX(gg_rct_Coin_Bash), GetLocationY(MyPoint))
    else
        call DoNothing(  )
    endif
   [b]Check min y of region[/b]
    if ( GetLocationY(MyPoint) < GetRectMinY(gg_rct_Coin_Bash) ) then
        set MyPoint = Location(GetLocationX(MyPoint), GetRectMinY(gg_rct_Coin_Bash))
    else
        call DoNothing(  )
    endif
   [b]Check max y of region[/b]
    if ( GetLocationY(MyPoint) > GetRectMaxY(gg_rct_Coin_Bash) ) then
        set MyPoint = Location(GetLocationX(MyPoint), GetRectMaxY(gg_rct_Coin_Bash))
    else
        call DoNothing(  )
    endif
   [b]Move the unit to MyPoint[/b]
    call SetUnitPositionLoc( GetAttackedUnitBJ(), MyPoint )
endfunction

Sigh. He gets bashed out the right hand side. The others are good to go. I can't find a mistake anywhere in MaxX. Sometimes he escapes out at a 45° (corner).

Most of the time he rebounds, so its okay?

 

[sATARa]

What if you placed a lot of pathing blockers around the arena, and made a few layers of em just to make em wider...
Wouldnt a unit, if moved over a pathing blocked region, be moved back to the neares available spot automatically. And since you would put many layers of blockers, the nearest spot would always be inside the arena.

Would this work?

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Or I can remove the unit, and call it a Knock Out... and display a loud message. Heh heh

LOL

I'll try the blockers.
