Sliding trigger and camera bounds!

09-07-2008, 02:06 AM

Hello! This is my first post here

Well, I made a sliding trigger for a spell. It works perfectly, however it allow my unit to pass the camera bounds, becoming unusable! How can I prevent that?
Here are my triggers:

Trigger:

Jostle

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to (==) Jostle (Anub'arak)

Actions

Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)

Unit - Turn collision for (Triggering unit) Off

Unit - Add Jostle Effect to (Triggering unit)

Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to Skill_JostleGroup

Set Skill_DistanceRun[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = 0.00

Set Skill_Caster[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Triggering unit)

Animation - Play Skill_Caster[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))]'s spell channel animation

Trigger - Turn on Jostle Slide <gen>

Trigger - Turn on Jostle UnitDies <gen>

Trigger:

Jostle Slide

Events

Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time

Conditions

Actions

Unit Group - Pick every unit in Skill_JostleGroup and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Set CustomValue = (Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))

Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Skill_DistanceRun[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] Greater than or equal to (>=) 1500.00

Then - Actions

Unit - Unpause (Picked unit)

Unit - Turn collision for (Picked unit) On

Unit - Remove Jostle Effect from (Picked unit)

Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Skill_JostleGroup

Else - Actions

Set Skill_UnitPos = (Position of (Picked unit))

Set Temp_Angle = (Facing of (Picked unit))

Set Temp_Point = (Skill_UnitPos offset by 5.00 towards Temp_Angle degrees)

Set Skill_DistanceRun[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] = (Skill_DistanceRun[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] + 5.00)

Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to Temp_Point

Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Picked unit)) to Temp_Point over 0.01 seconds

Set Skill_Caster[CustomValue] = (Picked unit)

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of Temp_Point) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

((Owner of Skill_Caster[CustomValue]) is an enemy of (Owner of (Picked unit))) Equal to (==) True

Then - Actions

Unit - Cause Skill_Caster[CustomValue] to damage (Picked unit), dealing ((41.67 x (Real((Level of Spiked Carapace (Anub'arak) for Skill_Caster[CustomValue])))) x (Real((Level of Jostle (Anub'arak) for Skill_Caster[CustomValue])))) damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal

Else - Actions

Pyrogasm	The camera bounds, or the map bounds? Because it should stop once it gets to the camea bounds.

Mike889	The camera bounds, this way the unit can't enter the black area around the map. I want the unit to turn 180 degrees, so it will slide backwards. I know I must make the Facing Angle of the unit = Facing of Unit + 180, however I don't know how to see if the unit is out of the playable map area.

Pyrogasm	As I said, when you move the unit with this line: Trigger: Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to Temp_Point ...it should automatically check to see if it's outside the camera bounds and if it is it will not move it.

Mike889	Unfortunately, the unit moves outside of the screen and disappears o.O But I made regions around the map limits, and everytime a unit enters those regions, it's facing angle is turned by 180 degrees. Thanks for you time anyway ^^ +rep
