hmm jass-custom scrips but ill try and work it out

what are you trying to make?

 

[sithin]

anything, spells, local fades

 

[kingkingyyk3]

If you have many things to deal with, i suggest you use Jass instead of GUI. Wait in Jass no need to be extra modified, juz write out Jass and it will automatically MUI.

 

[sithin]

jass this, jass that.... so sick of jass
ild rather do it the hard way.

GUI \m/

wait no custom gui \m/

 

[wraithseeker]

use EGUI by Sevion?

 

[Dinowc]

this is the GUI way (an example):

• trigger1
  • events
  • unit starts the effect of an ability
  • conditions
  • actions
    • if then else
      • if Integer less that 200
      • then
        • set Integer = Integer + 1
      • else
        • set Integer = 0
    • set Real[Integer] = 0.00
    • set Target[Integer] = target unit of ability being cast
    • set TargetPoint[Integer] = position of Target[Integer]
    • unit - set the custom value of Target[Integer] to Integer
    • unit group - add Target[Integer] to XGroup
    • set Target[Integer] = no unit

• trigger2
  • events
  • every 0.25 seconds of game time
  • conditions
  • number of units in XGroup greater than 0
  • actions
  • unit group - pick every unit in XGroup and do actions
    • loop
      • set Value = custom vaue of picked unit
      • if then else
        • if Real[Value] less than 5.00
      • then
        • set Real[Value] = Real[Value] + 0.25
      • else
        • unit - move picked unit instantly to TargetPoint[Value]
        • unit group - remove picked unit from XGroup
        • call RemoveLocation(udg_TargetPoint[udg_Value])

so this is some sort of X Marks the Spot spell, it will move the target to his original position after 5 seconds

I does not made MUI things in GUI.. Use loop or else?

 

[simonake]

use EGUI by Sevion?

Any links?

 

[sithin]

egui? as in (polled) wait?

 

[ChaosWarlock]

I have used THIS method and find that it is a good way to make MUI spells with the GUI.

 

[RMX]

Use PGUI ........ or GUI[P] ......... it's an indexing sys made by Paladon ....... like Time[1][2][3][4] ........... and so on ......... i will link u to the tutorial

Don't use Custom Values = BAD BAD ..........

[ChaosWarlock]

why do you say custom values are bad??

 

[Angel_Island]

Only one trigger can be using custom values, or it will create bugs when using 2 triggers that uses custom values.

 

[ChaosWarlock]

Can you please explain this a bit further? Only one trigger in your map can use custom values for units at a time? What kind of bugs are you talking about?

 

[Angel_Island]

Like IE a trigger raises the custom value of a unit and then checks if the custom value is equal to 50. Then maybe another trigger lowers the custom value of the unit, causing it to not reach 50 = bug.

 

[ChaosWarlock]

If that is the only thing that is buggy with it then it works just fine for the purpose mentioned in this thread. If you read the tutorial at that link I provided earlier you never change the custom value of any unit from what it was. You are only using the custom value as a reference and then when you are done with the dummy unit that you attached the custom value to you destroy the unit. I believe that if you read the tutorial all the way through you will understand that there is no bug with it.

 

[sithin]

crap, so for every other MUI spell i need to make another custom value?
or just have all of them +1 so it doesnt bug?
