Snippet Unit Exchange System

[Gtam]

Unit Exchange System
By Gtam​

This is a nice system that would fit maps like Footman Wars, Footman Frenzy or any map with lagre armies.

What is made from:

Blood, Sweat and tears
GUI
MUI
Jass Snippet made by Rainther.( not Released)
And Some help by Yoshi.

What This system does is allows people to select a group of their units and give it to another player.
This system will not allow the the user to give away Heroes.
When the player types -Switch this systen will display the units he has selected and how many of each type thats selected. After that it will set a boolean to true allowing him to switch the next time he types
Then he types e.g. -Switch 2 then this system will give the selected untis to player 2.

So, you didn't make this?

 

[Gtam]

Yes i did they just helped

 

[Romek]

How exactly did you contribute to the snippet?

(It's difficult to believe that a 3-man-team was needed to make something like this).

 

[Gtam]

OK Rainther did the Jass part and Yoshi helped in my triggering problem

 

[Romek]

There is no JASS part..?
And you haven't given particularly much detail about how he helped you.

 

[Rainther]

I recall it to be a function where you put in unit group and received back all the unit types in unit group and the amount of them aswell.
I didn't know you'd use it, however I am grateful for the credits.

 

[Gtam]

There is a jass snippet Rainther created in the map tham my system uses hence the call UnitCount function

 

[Ghan]

Looks like it leaks a unit group there as well.

 

[Gtam]

oh thx for spotting that Fixing

 

[Sevion]

Sec, would this allow me to easily exchange say 2000 units at a time. Doubtufl. Then again, I'm sure it'd lag anyways. And most pc's probablyt couldn't handle it. But I'm curious as to say what the maximum units transferable at a time is for this.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

It's as many as you can select.

So, 12.

 

[Gtam]

yes its 12 since i couldnt think of a way to do more at a time

 

[Sevion]

The way I'm doing it in Physics Wars, I can transfer 250+ units laglessly instantly at a time.

Which is needed for when players leave or are defeated and still have units on the map. They get spread evenly through out the remaining team.

And with a max of 250 units, that's 250*6=1500 units a a time on the map maximum + hidden units for interface etc.

This method that you use would make it impossible for me to do that.

 

[Gtam]

this is made for during the game not when a player leaves. This is made for if you see you ally was just attacked and need some units you can give him yours.

 

[emolilolee]

I'd tried this out, am sure I did it totally right but it gives an error at
call UnitCount(udg_Selected_G, GetTriggerPlayer())

 

[Komaqtion]

You should move leakfix out side the whole "If" ... As it's supposed to be destryed, even if the condition's aren't met, since it's created without them being met...

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Selected_G)

That's what I'm talking about...

 

[Gtam]

emolily did you also copy the map header part dont think so. Other wise that error wouldnt occur so go look im my maps header and copy that code to yours

I;m pretty sure your map is going to break the warcraft 3 engine. I find it works poorly when you start getting near 400 units.

 

[Sevion]

Actually, no one I've tested with has been able to run the map :| Only me. Everyone else gets white screen and lags insanely XD

Anywho, this system is not really useful IMO. :-/
