Spell Warp Field

Tom_Kazansky · Feb 5, 2010

Warp Field
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Warps space time arround the caster, creating a barrier through which enemies cannot pass, but friendly units can.
All enemy units within the barrier when this spell is cast are forced out. While the Warp Field is active you have vision of it.
Also damage enemies.

MUI: Yes
GUI/JASS: GUI
Leakless: Yes (I think)
Lagless: I think it has lags but not too much

A spell I saw at theHive (Warp Field by Cromatycha) but Cromatycha's triggering is not good, and the effect is rather fun and cool, so I decide to remake it and also, someone request me to do it

Readme

How to import:
- Copy ability: Warp Field (A000)
- Copy triggers: WarpField Init, WarpField Cast, WarpField Act.
Remember to check: File \ Preferences \ General \ Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data

Modification:
- Change WarpField_Tick for the duration of the spell
- Change WarpField_Damage for the damage of the spell
- Change WarpField_PushSpeed for the pushing speed of the spell
- Change WarpField_NumberDummies for the number of dummy units

Note:
- You can set 'Initial Value' for "WarpField_NumberDummies" and "WarpField_PushSpeed" so you wont need trigger WarpField Init

Credit:
- Thank Cromatycha for the idea.

Please comment

EDIT: first update: fix a leak and timer duration

Nexor · Feb 5, 2010

- I said I use 0.025s timer while WarpField Act trigger use 0.03s timer, well, it's because of the "round up" in GUI, I don't know how to explain clearly, sorry

I don't understand this "round-up" thing.
You can use the arithmical function in GUI to create real values between 0.02 and 0.03.
To make a 0.025 value just use this: Real(1/40)

Tom_Kazansky · Feb 5, 2010

yeah, I don't know how to explain this, but:

Code:

Time - Every [B][COLOR="Red"]0.03[/COLOR][/B] seconds of game time

I typed in 0.025 but it still appears 0.03

---
anyways, how is the spell ? is it fun ?

attack some melee creep, cast this spell and you will see

Crusher · Feb 5, 2010

Nifty spell you re-created there Tom. It's awesome.

+rep.

Komaqtion · Feb 5, 2010

Haven't tried the spell out, but the code looks nice (With one exception

)

Found a leak, though...

Trigger:

Set TempGroup = (Units within 435.00 of WarpField_Pos[WarpField_Looper] matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of WarpField_Caster[WarpField_Looper])) Equ

That's never destroyed...

Psiblade94122 · Feb 5, 2010

for the speed, to keep things simple you can do this

Timer .04 (.04 flat) this makes the trigger run 25 times per second, makes the math simple (as opposed to .03 which will run 33 times a second 34 for 1.2)

You can make the move speed based on normal wc3 speed instead of having to do the counculations first, when you actually use that speed however you have to divide it by 25 (if your using .04), because this runs a flat 25 times a second, the distance moved per second is accurate to the value you put in

The .03 your getting is because wc3 uses to the nearest hundreths for timers, so .025 will round up to .03. It is running every .03 seconds, not .025 seconds, which might make your spell slower then it really is

aside from that suggestion, cool spell +rep

Tom_Kazansky · Feb 5, 2010

Update !
----
@Komaqtion, I totally forgot about that, thanks

@Psiblade94122, I still want to use 0.025 and 1 / 40 works

I believe you are wrong. GUI shows the rounded up numbers because of limited space, the the number itself doesn't change.

Btw, how did you turn the teleport model sideways?

Tom_Kazansky · Feb 5, 2010

>Btw, how did you turn the teleport model sideways?

a dummy with model Teleport and Art - Maximum Pitch Angle (degree): -90, use Shift + Enter (or Double Click) to enter negative values

Thats a GUI bug.

Reals in GUI can only appear with 2 decimals 1.55 when in Jass it can be 3 decimals 1.555.

Joker(Div) · Feb 6, 2010

This is amazing enough that you wrote the entire spell in GUI o.0 Good job

Unless the code in the map is different from the posted code, the leak isn't yet fixed. I'm going to graveyard this until it is. Other than that, the spell looks great and is ready for approval.

Tom_Kazansky · Aug 24, 2010

I have confirmed this, the code in map and the posted code are the same

the leak is fixed!

your post made me thought that I didn't edit the posted code

Darthfett · Aug 24, 2010

Edit: My mistake.

Approving this.
