polar projection for my td (newbie needs help)

[killingdyl]

its up to date are u using a like custiom gui trigger?

 

[kingkingyyk3]

I use custom script in GUI. I scare you dunno Jass, so I din convert it.

 

[killingdyl]

i cant open it for some reason... can u post the triggers so i can see it and maybe i can make the trigger myself

 

[kingkingyyk3]

Create a trigger named "SAS" and copy script's below into it.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//This is a simple attach system, it's function is limited.
//
//Can only attach unit to unit.
//
//It is enough for your request.

library SAS

globals
    private constant integer HASH_DOWN = 524288
    private constant integer HASH_UP = 2134900736
    private constant integer HASH_BIAS = 4096
    //This sytem use Hash to calculate the integer after converting handles.
endglobals

private function H2I takes handle h returns integer//H2I is a common function use in converting handle into integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

private function H2U takes handle h returns unit
    return h
    return null
endfunction

        static method StoreUnitz takes unit attached returns StoredUnit
            local StoredUnit Index = StoredUnit.allocate()

            return Index
        endmethod
        
        method GetUnit takes nothing returns unit
            return .u
        endmethod
        
        method onDestroy takes nothing returns nothing
            set .u = null
        endmethod

At your 2 child trigger, add and change some stuffs :

• Events
  • A units finishes an upgrade
  • Conditions
  • unit type = 2 child
  • Actions
  • Custom script : local unit u
  • Custom script : local unit tower = GetTriggerUnit()
  • Unit - Create Child......
  • Custom script : set u = GetLastCreatedUnit()
  • Custom script : call SetUnitToTowerA(tower,u)
  • Unit - Create Child......
  • Custom script : set u = GetLastCreatedUnit()
  • Custom script : call SetUnitToTowerB(tower,u)
  • set u = null
  • set tower = null

 

[kingkingyyk3]

Add some stuffs too at the most below of your Sell trigger

• Actions
  • bla bla bla...
  • If Unit-type of Triggering Unit equal to 2 child
  • Then
  • Unit-Remove Unit(GetAttachedUnitA(GetTriggerUnit())
  • Unit-Remove Unit(GetAttachedUnitB(GetTriggerUnit())
  • Custom script : call ClearAttachedUnitA(GetTriggerUnit())
  • Custom script : call ClearAttachedUnitB(GetTriggerUnit())

 

[killingdyl]

for the upgrade trigger can u tell me what kind of variable is "u" and "tower"?
And thanks for the help

Edit: also i think the reason i couldnt open it is that the part

• Unit-Remove Unit(GetAttachedUnitA(GetTriggerUnit())
  • Unit-Remove Unit(GetAttachedUnitB(GetTriggerUnit())

is a custom trigger that i dont have. so can u walk me through how to create custom GUIs?

 

[kingkingyyk3]

If you had Jass NewGen Pack, it is easy to create it by selecting the "Jass script" at the most below.

Sorry, it is

• Unit - Remove(GetAttachedUnitA())from game
  • Unit - Remove(GetAttachedUnitB())from game

u is the child, tower is the tower.
They r locals. It is a basic MUI but it cun pass through others place, unlike globals.

Example :

function SetUnitToTowerA takes unit tower, unit child returns nothing
endfunction

Above this is the actually actions I created.

call SetUnitToTowerB(tower,u)

Then above this is attach second child to the tower.

To create custom GUI, you need to learn Jass.

Jass is faster than GUI and risk to lag is least. I had learn it from : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f280/beginning-jass-tutorial-series-30765/

Understanding other's map script is also an improvement in making a good map. You can see how they use the functions, their coding style and much more stuffs.

 

[killingdyl]

can u give me the jass then??? it will help me learn jass if i have something i can look at.

 

[kingkingyyk3]

select a trigger, click options, click convert to custom text. Then you will see the jass.

 

[killingdyl]

i mean the 2 child trigger and the jass for removing the unit. because i cant insert the GetAttachedUnitA() and B part as a gui. and i cant set local variables with gui so i cant set u and tower

 

[kingkingyyk3]

This is the remove unit in Jass :

function RemoveUnit takes unit returns nothing
endfunction

We can use it by using :

call RemoveUnit(unit u want to remove)

============================================
Variables can divided into 2 types :
globals
locals

globals can be changed at anywhere, but locals can't.
Globals is not MUI, but locals are.

How to declare/create a new locals?? See below :

local <variable> <variable's name>

Example(We create a unit locals variable with it's name is hello) :

local unit hello

How to set value to it?

set hello = <Unit you want to set>

Happy Jassing!!

 

[kingkingyyk3]

The "Triggering Unit" in GUI is known as GetTriggerUnit() in Jass.

 

[kingkingyyk3]

To make use of them and instead converting whole trigger into Jass view, Use custom script at the new action dialog.

 

[killingdyl]

i cant find the

• Unit - Remove(GetAttachedUnitA())from game
  • Unit - Remove(GetAttachedUnitB())from game

part in gui
can you help me there?

 

[kingkingyyk3]

use this

• Custom script : call RemoveUnit(GetAttachedUnitA())

• Custom script : call RemoveUnit(GetAttachedUnitB())

hey i did everything perfectly with the trigger but it still wont create the 2 childs. HELP

• Two Child
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to |cFF00FFFF2 Childs|r
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit u
    • Custom script: local unit tower = GetTriggerUnit()
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Child for (Owner of (Constructed structure)) at ((Position of (Constructed structure)) offset by 32.00 towards 0.00 degrees) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: set u = GetLastCreatedUnit()
    • Custom script: call SetUnitToTowerA(tower,u)
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Child for (Owner of (Constructed structure)) at ((Position of (Constructed structure)) offset by 32.00 towards 180.00 degrees) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: set u = GetLastCreatedUnit()
    • Custom script: call SetUnitToTowerB(tower,u)
    • Custom script: set u = null
    • Custom script: set tower = null

    • Custom script: set u = null

use this :
Change all ur Constructed Structure to Triggering Unit
