Spell Rocket Launcher

[AdamGriffith]

A snippet from a spell that I made:

-------- ACTIVATED BY DESTRUCTIBLES --------
Destructible - Pick every destructible within 64.00 of Point2 and do (Set Integer = (Integer + 1))
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        Integer Greater than or equal to 1
    Then - Actions
        Sound - Play CannonTowerMissile2 <gen> at 100.00% volume, located at Point2 with Z offset 0.00
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at Point2 using Abilities\Spells\Other\Doom\DoomDeath.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        Unit - Cause (Picked unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 250.00 at Point2, dealing 500.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Group_Rockets
        Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
    Else - Actions

Set Integer = 0

Actually, you no need to set the Integer. Just pick every destructible. Once destructible is picked, and if there is destructible, then the picked unit (missile dummy) will get removed. Else, nothing will happen. And to kill or 'hurt' destructible, just set their life to a lower value (it will be killed when life drops to 0 or below) or just kill it.

I'm saying this because I'm making a map with similar ability to this Rocket Launcher . Just coincidental.

Edit: Also make sure to check whether the destructible is alive.

 

[Kazuga]

Can't find the condition for if there is a destructeble in the picked destructeble group. =/ Do you know the name of the condition?

 

[vypur85]

No need the condition. In the 'Movement' trigger, just immediately create a new line and pick every destructible within your rocket dummy.

Destructible - Pick every destructible within 125.00 of (Position of YourDummy) and do actions
     Loop - Actions
         If then else
              Condition
                 Picked destructible is alive Equal to True
              Then
                 Destructible - Set life of (Picked destructible) to (Life of (Picked destructible) - 50)
                 Unit - Remove YourDummy from the game

Roughly like the above. It will hit a destructible then get removed from the game and reduce the life of the destructible. You can add SFX if you want to but that's up to you to code. If there is no destructible, then nothing will happen. The dummy won't get removed and will move as usual.

well what you can do is for every destrucable add one to an integer variable, then check if that integer is greater then or equal to 1

after all that set that integer back to 0

Thanks Vipur, I will try that, if it works +rep :thup:

Your the third or fourth suggesting that, however I don't think you can't do the action "for every destructble"... Will look around once again though.

Edit: Vipur thanks, it worked^^ However is there a way to prevent to do these actions twice? Also the action sometimes buggs the rocket so that every now and then when you shoot it doesn't trigger, meaning that the rocket is stuck at where you shot it... Anyone knows why? It works without that action..

[AdamGriffith]

Just use the code I gave you? That only runs once.

 

[vypur85]

You can actually use the trigger Adam gave as well. At first I thought using the Integer check was harder than my idea I posted. But, somehow you made it more complicated . Lol... I'm quite confused with what you are doing. Not familiar with your style of triggering. So I can't give much further comment.

In fact my way should be simpler. But not sure why the bolded lines are used (haven't read through all the code):

Edit:
What about trying this? It's something like Adam's method except that it doesn't use integer, it uses boolean.

Think that one condition can solve it all^^ Thanks for help, edited map and +rep:thup:

 

[Kazuga]

I update the thread for 2 reasons:
1: If you don't update your resource it's going to the graveyard.
2: I want a moderator to look through, test and approve it.

 

[131ackout]

What do you mean

if you don't update it, it's going to graveyard

where all of the old threads are posted there?

 

[Flare]

if you don't update it, it's going to graveyard

If a submitted resource isn't suitable for approval, and hasn't been updated to meet approval conditions, it is sent to the graveyard until it has been updated, at that point, it may be approved if it meets the conditions.

where all of the old threads are posted there?

They are either (1) approved (i.e. in one of the subforms, such as Spells, Systems, Tutorials), (2) graveyarded (for the reasons I mentioned above) or (3) still in the Tutorials and Resources sub-forum, either pending approval/moderator to take a look, or just have been forgotten/overlooked

 

[131ackout]

Oh.
Well i just made a tutorial

I DONT WANNA IT TO BE SENT TO GRAVEYARD

 

[Kazuga]

Please, cut the offtopic now.

 

[131ackout]

Alright.

Well, the rocket launcher's still awesome.

 

[Kazuga]

bump

 

[131ackout]

You know

you don't need to bump all at a time...
Everyone, including me know that ability..

 

[Kenny]

It is wise to be patient as right now it seems as though the moderators for the warcraft/spells forums have many different threads/spell/systems etc too look over, so that by itself is time consuming. Plus those moderates have lives too .

 

[Kazuga]

I am, ain't I? I'm just keeping it updated, still even though it's not approved yet people can still use it in their maps since it's fully working mui.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Working and approved.

Moved to the appropriate section.


Good job!


N.B Cleaned your post of bumps.
