Black Hole Problem

01-29-2006, 12:28 AM

I am havining some difficulty configuring the damage options for blade's Black Hole. These are the lines of code that deal with damage and what gets sucked in. Now, I have it set to ignore structures and heroes, yet it still sucks them in. Also, heroes that get sucked in can't be revived.

Code:

function BlackHole_SuckDamageOptions takes integer level returns integer
    return DamageTypes(ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGIC)+DamageOnlyTo(UNIT_TYPE_GROUND)+DamageOnlyEnemies()+DamageOnlyVisibles()+DamageIgnore(UNIT_TYPE_HERO)+DamageIgnore(UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE)
// Which units that can be sucked into the whole.
endfunction

function BlackHole_DamageDamageOptions takes integer level returns integer
    return DamageTypes(ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGIC)+DamageOnlyTo(UNIT_TYPE_GROUND)+DamageOnlyEnemies()+DamageOnlyVisibles()+DamageIgnore(UNIT_TYPE_HERO)+DamageIgnore(UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE)
// Which units the black hole will damage, and how it'll damage them, if they aren't being sucked into the hole.
endfunction

Blade.dk	Of course Heroes can't be revived. They are removed, that's kind of what "removing them from existance" means. Anyways, if you want me to, I can make a version that only kills and send it to your email. You can not use DamageIgnore multiple times in the same DamageOptions, eventually use DamageException(type, 0) for the second one.

Vexorian	I blame the bitflag based system I made for damage options but no, you can't use the same DamageOption function twice. Good thing that DamageException exists.

Kam	CAn you use damage exception more than once in the same function?

Vexorian	No damage option function can be used more than once.

Kam	Ok, well it worked out so thanks guys. On an unrelated note, would either of you like to play my map with me right now? I think you guys would like it. Fine then. :(
