Slark's Pounce (Nightcrawler)

[emobroken22]

Pounce - Surges directly forward and latches on to the first enemy he hits, binding it with chains of darkness. The chains works as a lightning and prevents a unit from going beyond 225 distance i think...but as it tries to go beyond that distance the unit is kinda pulled but its walk animation is still playing....


Does anyone have an idea how this works?? i mean its easy to make a leap trigger but not making units go beyond a certain distance while its walk animation is playing....can someone tell me how it works?? As much as possible i dont want to get involve in vJass cuz im not good with it only in GUI...help O_O!!Thanks to anyone who'd like to help..

Just let it check every .07 seconds or so to detect whether the target has exceeded range from the Pouncer or not. If ever it did, set a point and move the target unit using "Unit - Move to X/Y" instead of "Unit - Move to point" But you'd have to get the X and Y coordinates first.

I am sorry though, but I totally forgot how. But if I remember correctly, it's can be used as a custom script! (so no need for JASS)

haha thanks for ur reply...is the difference between moving unit instantly and moving a unit by getting the X and Y of a point is that it doesnt iterrupt actions??meaning that a unit will still be walking even though its being pulled? i think i saw something custom script of moving unit by X and Y in some post..ill look for it.,.thanks!!!

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

it doesnt iterrupt actions
and ignores collision

 

[Nherwyziant]

ill look for it.

call SetUnitX(Target,X)
call SetUnitY(Target,Y)

 

[emobroken22]

uhh custiom script???im not good in jazz...

 

[Nherwyziant]

call SetUnitX(udg_<TargetUnitVarName>,GetUnitX(udg_<TargetUnitVarName>))
call SetUnitY(udg_<TargetUnitVarName>,GetUnitY(udg_<TargetUnitVarName>))

 

[emobroken22]

call SetUnitX(udg_<TargetUnitVarName>,GetUnitX(udg_<TargetUnitVarName>))
call SetUnitY(udg_<TargetUnitVarName>,GetUnitY(udg_<TargetUnitVarName>))

uhh thanks......is this all??

Do it periodically,

and I got a mistake, GetUnitX and Y will make unit move.

create a real variable then set to a constant value which is the X of target, vice versa.

Something like this:

• Actions
  • Set Point = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
  • Set RealX = (X of Point)
  • Set RealY = (Y of Point)

And then something liek this

• Test
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_TargetUnit,udg_RealX)
    • Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_TargetUnit,udg_RealY)

Don't forget removing the leaks.

well you need to check if the unit is outside the leash range, if it is, set the distance of the unit back.

This can be easily done using

Periodically check distance between where the jump landed and the unit that got pounced. if dist is greater than 300 or something, SetDistanceToXY

once again u've helped me so much...hahha thanks like a million times xD...

well i guess that works but that way doesn't allow the pounced unit to move within the leash length. (You should be able to move freely as long as you arent too far away from the center point)

thats how it works in dota, if you dont care about that feature then its fine

 

[SanKakU]

yeah, i saw a trigger a while back that slark's spell reminded me of...

jonnny's broken spell pack from before 1.24. a ball and chain. pretty fun, not exactly JESP worthy though...but fun, nevertheless.
it was written in jass so it might not help you much if you only do gui.

cleezz... thats how ill be doing it...ill just set a variable to the position of the target when catched and then the periodic triggers...

You're double posting, you should just edit your earlier post.

 

[emobroken22]

sure...
