Spoiler

Slide
    Events
        Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Custom script:   set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        Set Sliders = (Units of type Ghoul)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Sliders and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Slide_Point = (Position of (Picked unit))
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Terrain type at Slide_Point) Equal to Icecrown Glacier - Dark Ice
                    Then - Actions
                        Set tmp_position = (Slide_Point offset by 3.25 towards (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees)
                        Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to tmp_position
                        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_tmp_position )
                    Else - Actions
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_Slide_Point )
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_Sliders)

Maybe pause the unit when it enters the ice?

I can't think of a way that I could fix it, only de-bug.

 

[rodead]

what would the pause actually add?? in my opnion nothing..

the problem i think is that the time between picking all players and destroying the group will be too early to let them all slide. but how to fix that>>>

Well, this trigger only allows ghouls to slide.

Are the units which don't slide ghouls?

 

[rodead]

no they are all ghouls :S

 

[Romek]

Are you sure you're using the correct tile everywhere you want?
That means only dark ice, not the light one.

If that doesn't work, can you give more details about when it stops?

 

[rodead]

everything is correct i am for sure!

the problem is 1 player slides every where thats player red the rest off the players walk every where on ice no matter where the ice is they jsut walk over it.

Remove that line...

 

[rodead]

allready did that, but that will cause major lagg/ delay! so that is also not so good :S so any other idea?

 

[AceHart]

Lag? Delay? From what? Or why would it?

Your trigger, as written above, has no leaks.

But that line needs to go.
It's just wrong.

 

[rodead]

well i know it is leak free but somehow when i turn that trigger of i don't got it and if it is on you need to wait 10 seconds to enter the menu and wait another 10 seconds to go to the Quit menu and another 10 seconds to exit the game.

so i got somehow a delay/lagg caused by that trigger :S

 

[AceHart]

You sure you really need it 100 times per second?

 

[rodead]

no but if i set it like 0.05 seconds i still got a little bit delay/lagg and i want no lagg at all and i think it only will be posible if i make like turn the trigger on when it enters the ice or make a slide trigger for each player instead of 1 trigger.

and i don't know if you have an idea of making such a system laggless and without delay?

 

[AceHart]

You could save some work by not creating / destroying that group every time.
Instead, keep it around, only updated as units die or enter the map.

0.1 should be fast enough too.

thank you very much!
