System SlideGUI

[Medic]

Hey mate, I downloaded and tried your slide but have no idea how to test it.
Can you spare a sec to explain how to activate this (in noob lingo)

All im after is a unit to slide backwards for a cinematic scene.

• 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

That is how you activate it...

So within your cinematic triggers where you want the unit to slide you simply insert those four lines and select the appropriate values. Target point of slide will probably be Initial point offset by (distance) towards (angle).

Thanx man, Ive currently been using a looping move unit backwards trigger - lol not very flashy but it did the job. Ill give this a go now

Btw can you direct me to a tutorial that makes a unit drop for a large height
(its for a cinematic scene)

Fall off from the cliff?
I don't think there's such a tutorial.

Version 06 is out! Click here to download!

UPDATES:
- optiimzed code and fixed code a little.
- destructible collision is now tree collision.

Do you realize that this doesn't work any more?

It's because the code checks for nearby units, and the slider is added as one. Then in the comparison, it's "if UnitsNearby > 1" THEN move the unit, it should be "==" instead.

Bah, what a silly careless mistake of me.
Hold on, I'll update it.

EDIT:
Updated, go check it out.

 

[Ryuu]

Bump with new update!

Version 07 is out! Click here to download!

UPDATES:
- face unit removed - if you want to make a unit face wherever while sliding, just make it.

No one's replying and it's sooo irritating.

This was made for beginners who know little about GUI. Really. It's made for those that only knows how to set variables.

 

[DrEvil]

Oh sorry ,

Like an example of how to slide , then people will learn from it

 

[Ryuu]

A tutorial?

The problem is your slide doesn't work properly. Test it. Click on the ground the unit doesn't go where you click.
