Targeting System

[lordloki]

Under the Object Editor for him, you can change the Art - Model File and Art - Icon - Game interface to Marine... that should get you close...

If you get really ambitious... look at the attachments tutorial... there are probably several models out there you could import to use....

Good Luck

Thanks for the help, but i already knew that. But thanks anyway

Don't know if you haven't already fixed the FPS thing, but this should work:

pan to position of player
rotate camera to angle of unit
set height offset to around 100 or 200
set angle of attack to 0

if the camera seems to be behind the player, set the camera's z field to a low number.

Check Wc3Campaigns.com, they have already created an FPS system. (Throws my whole system out the window )

for some odd reason it says permission denied when i try to get into that thread... im guessing why (i amregistered), but if some1 could go in there and copy the text to here that would be GREAT!

 

[Demonfaze]

lol I can't get in it either, it's not only you. Maybe the thread got moved or something.

If anyone knows the thread title, I could try searching for it then posting the link

 

[TFlan]

lol... i found the reason... they are working on the site and that part of it is down . But if anyone has that code lying around... that would be helpful

 

[Krofttt]

NOW WHAT IN THE HECK... this wass my idea and u will not take others people code and say it was ur idea!

do whatever you want but illl make a far better one than urs and you will be a rip off of my map. no offense.

"NOW WHAT IN THE HECK... this wass my idea and u will not take others people code and say it was ur idea!"


who said i was doing either of those things! Calm down and think... the main reason why im replying to this is to have it here on THIS website so people wont have to go searching others. But if its your code that we are looking for then you have the ability to say yes or no to this. I never take what others make..... that sounds odd.....


"do whatever you want but illl make a far better one than urs and you will be a rip off of my map. no offense."


What are you talking about?!

 

[Krofttt]

i thought u were about to make a targeting system with precents to hit and stuff. Just like fallout.

 

[TFlan]

lol no, but just because someone says one thing dont assume another .

Good luck on what your doing.

----------------------

Back on topic!

Has anyone found where this code may be? (A small side reason is that i also need a portion of this code... thats why im persistant with this)

 

[Krofttt]

what code? i can help.

 

[TFlan]

the FPS System code that conan talked about

 

[Krofttt]

Pos Aimer
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Up Arrow key
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set PositonOfAImer = (PositonOfAImer + (Integer((Facing of (Triggering unit)))))
        Image - Destroy (Last created image)
        Image - Create an image using ReplaceableTextures\Splats\AuraRune9b.blp of size 256.00 at (Target of current camera view) with Z offset (Target Z of current camera view) using image type Indicator

Fire
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
Conditions
PositonOfAImer Equal to (Integer((Facing of UnitSelected)))
Actions
Set UnitSelected = (Triggering unit)
Unit - Order AttackingUnit to Attack UnitSelected


Theres an example .

holycrap im going to use that in my map.

 

[TFlan]

i have that, but i need it to reconise where to shoot.

Im trying to do something more ability like not trigger

 

[Krofttt]

so u want it so u cast an ability on a unit. then have a projectile fired?

 

[TFlan]

yes but on a point not a unit and that point will be where the cursor is. The cursor part is in the WEU custom triggers so i dont have to worry about that (thank god!! )

 

[Krofttt]

Fire
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Black Arrow
    Actions
Set AttackingUnit = (Triggering unit)

        Unit - Order AttackingUnit to Attack Ground ((Target point of ability being cast) offset by ((Source X of current camera view), (Target Y of current camera view)))

maybe work?

 

[TFlan]

the ability is going to based off of the shockwave ability so it will need a target created by the player. So i can cut my work in half right there because when you cast the ability there is a cursor with the croshairs and the player can choose the point where the bullet/rocket will go (im guesing i should make a forum for this map... maybe later when its done)

EDIT:

or i could just use the counter-strike maps version of fps even though its more of a tps

 

[Krofttt]

Fire
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Rally
Actions
Unit - Remove Rally from Peasant 0000 <gen>
Wait 2.00 seconds
Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack Ground (Target point of ability being cast)

apparently rall is an order dman....

 

[TFlan]

lol nice try though. I set up a thread for my map under member projects so check it out if you like.
