Lightning Z stuff

Ok,

I'm a little upset. Blizzard promised some Z offset for lightnings and still, I don't see it anywhere, atleast under animation or lightning. And using dummies is quite a stupid ideas since you can't give them locust if you want them to target each other. So doesn't anyone know where that Z offset is?

perhaps they just gave JASSers the option do so in JASS?

JASS is good as well as long as you could give me the code...

~Daelin

well i think you know JASS, but really i have no clue about it, that was just a thought

You should always have copies of scripts\common.j and scripts\blizzard.j from war3patch.mpq, common.j specially since 95% of blizzard.j functions suck

Have fun :)

so does this mean it is only for JASS?

As far as I can see yes.

what does it return with? I dont think GetLastCreatedLightningBJ() works for it.

did u read it? it says it right in the fragment, returns lightning

create a lightning variable and set it = to that

set it to what? get last created lightningbj() doesnt work.

ehem

never mind my ramblings.

um, you're gonna have to actually call the function dude

L = AddLightningEx(string codeName, boolean checkVisibility, real x1, real y1, real z1, real x2, real y2,real z2)

notice how the function says returns lightning? that means it returns a lightning, ie it has to be stored in a lightning variable

sorry if that was a little ambiguous, but i assumed you knew how to use functions since you were asking about what it returns

ps, calm down there with the caps and the negative rep, something might explode ;)

Very sorry dude! lol ive been racking my brains trying to fix it. ty ty
