SlideGUI Version 07
Features:
Requirements: World Editor, a dummy unit, at least a quarter brain
Coding: Purely GUI! (other than custom scripts)
MUI/MPI: MUI, yes, but how do I tell if it is MPI?
Additional Features:
Pros and Cons
Activating the System
To make a unit slide to a point, you don't need to copy the entire system and modify everything. All you need to do is just implement the system into your map, and then from anywhere, do this:
If you are still unsure, download the map and copy the actions in trigger 'Example Call Function' into your map.
Speed Conversion
A good sliding speed is 20. To convert it into Warcraft's unit, first identify the range per second.
20 range/0.03 seconds <-- Default
(20 range * 33.3333333)/1 second
666.666666 range/1 second
So which means you basically go 666.666666 range per every second while sliding.
This is faster than Warcraft's 522 max speed.
If you want to slide at Warcraft's max speed, you need to do conversion.
666.666666 Warcraft speed --> 20 SlideGUI speed
522 Warcraft speed --> (20 / 666.666666) * 522 SlideGUI speed
522 Warcraft speed --> 15.66 SlideGUI speed
So if you want your unit to slide at the max Warcraft speed, just set the variable SlideGUI_Speed to 15.66.
All in all, the formula for converting from SlideGUI speed into Warcraft speed is:
(SlideGUI speed / (SlideGUI speed * 33.3333333) * 522)
Please do not input these values in the system. Calculate the values, then input the result in the system.

SlideGUI System 07

Updated at 23:00 (GMT+8) on Sunday December 14
A system by PureGUI
Features:
Requirements: World Editor, a dummy unit, at least a quarter brain
Coding: Purely GUI! (other than custom scripts)
MUI/MPI: MUI, yes, but how do I tell if it is MPI?
Additional Features:
- Developed to be easily modified (using the activate feature) so that you can change it into another system like Knockback, Speed Control and what else.
- Able to control lag (as of version 02)
- 'Call' function (just set four variables to activate system)
Pros and Cons
pros
- easy implementation, no hassle
- easily modified into another system in need of using slide
- fully customizable, from speed of slide to angle of slide
- JASS users-friendly, because GUI is known to all mapmakers
- multiple unit instanceable (MUI)
- don't need to copy the entire system with every usage, just implement it into your map and set the variables.
cons
- require a dummy unit
Activating the System
To make a unit slide to a point, you don't need to copy the entire system and modify everything. All you need to do is just implement the system into your map, and then from anywhere, do this:
Trigger:
- Example Call Function
- Events
- Your Events Here
- Conditions
- Actions
- Set SlideGUI_AffectedUnit[(SlideGUI_CustomValue + 1)] = The unit that is going to slide
- Set SlideGUI_AffectedUnitPosition[(SlideGUI_CustomValue + 1)] = Position of the unit that is going to slide
- Set SlideGUI_SpecifiedPoint[(SlideGUI_CustomValue + 1)] = The point where unit stops sliding
- Set SlideGUI_Speed[(SlideGUI_CustomValue + 1)] = Speed of the unit sliding

If you are still unsure, download the map and copy the actions in trigger 'Example Call Function' into your map.

// SlideGUI System 07b
//*******************************************************************************************************
//
// Developer:
// * Ryuu
//
// Intention:
// * As the first movement of the PureGUI project, its my first step working towards my goal
// * for making life easier for beginners to World Editor. I intend to achieve this simply by
// * making heavier coded systems in purely GUI, as a fully customizable and easily modified
// * system. You've downloaded it - my very first system ever made!
//
// Requirements:
// * Dummy unit with:
// - ability "Locust"
// - no model
// - no shadow
// - no attack
// - no movement
//
// Features:
// * easy implementation, no hassle
// * easily modified into another system in need of using slide
// * fully customizable, from speed of slide to angle of slide
// * JASS users-friendly, because GUI is known to all mapmakers
// * multiple unit instanceable (MUI)
// * don't need to copy the entire system with every usage, just implement it into your map
// and set the variables.
//
// Implementation Exercise:
// * Copy the dummy unit from the Object Editor into your map, or create one yourself by
// following the above details "under 'Requirements'".
// * Copy the entire folder 'SlideGUI' into your map.
//
// Activation Exercise:
// * Set SlideGUI_AffectedUnit[(SlideGUI_CustomValue + 1)] = The unit that is going to slide
// * Set SlideGUI_AffectedUnitPosition[(SlideGUI_CustomValue + 1)] = Position of the unit
// that is going to slide
// * Set SlideGUI_SpecifiedPoint[(SlideGUI_CustomValue + 1)] = The point where unit stops
// sliding
// * Set SlideGUI_Speed[(SlideGUI_CustomValue + 1)] = Speed of the unit sliding
//
// SFX Addition Exercise:
// * Before-Effect
// - This happens before unit slide. The effect happens once before unit slides.
// At your 'Activating the System' trigger, after setting the variables, add in your
// special effect and destroy it.
//
// * During-Effect
// - This happens when unit slide. The effect happens every 0.03 seconds while unit is
// sliding. At SlideGUI Slide trigger, look for the comment text that says 'IT IS HERE
// THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR DURING-EFFECT!' and at the action below that, change it into
// the special effect that you want.
//
// * Collision Effect
// - This happens when the sliding unit collides with another unit while sliding. This
// effect only happens once. At SlideGUI Slide trigger, look for the comment text that
// says 'IT IS HERE THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR UNIT COLLISION EFFECT!' and at the action
// below that, change it into the special effect that you want.
//
// * Post-Effect
// - This happens when unit finished sliding. The effect happens only once.
// At SlideGUI Slide trigger, look for the comment text that says 'IT IS HERE THAT YOU
// CHANGE YOUR POST-EFFECT!' and at the action below that, change it into the special
// effect that you want.

Code:
07
- 'face unit' removed - if you want to make a unit face wherever while sliding, just make it.
06b
- fixed a bug that caused the system to not work.
06
- optiimzed code and fixed code a little.
- destructible collision is now tree collision.
05
- realised the system was missing a 'remove group' custom script. Added it in.
- destructible collision now added (all destructibles will now be destroyed when sliding)
- unit collision also added (clash of sliding unit and other units will stop sliding unit)
- unit collision special effect now editable (see below)
- when activating system, need not input angle. (that makes it one variable easier! :D)
04b
- although activating the system is three variables harder, modification is much simpler
04
- thanks to Flare, the MUI function is changed - now use a dummy unit!
- you can now 'call' the system from anywhere - read the last paragraph in Implementation Instructions!
- triggers are reduced from 5 to 2, variables increased from 12 to 14.
- you can now add special effects (this addition is really just for beginners..), to add, look below.
03
- SlideGUI can now 'slide' through the 8191 limit - you can slide for as long as you like now!
- thanks to "U are a noob" for his suggestion.
02
- added a new variable to prevent : lag when too many units slide for a period of time
01
- initial releaseDownload SlideGUI 07 here:
