[FX] Sliding Effects

04-20-2006, 11:25 PM

I think these can be really useful, they are to me.
Instead of recreating a special effect on a sliding unit all over again (good for knockbacks and such), you can just add a buff or just add this effect once, it's a repeating effect.
Includes normal dust, dust with rocks, and water.

Meanie	This is soo damn useful for sliding effects Off-Topic: How do i detect if point is water? IsPointWaterLoc(loc) from vexorians caster system doesn't work and ispathathable amphibious doesn't work either

vile

I dont think that question should be put here, but rather in the triggers section. I have a function to detect that though. Vexorian's IsPointWater didn't work so well for me for some reason, he used TERRAIN_PATH_AMPHIBIOUS or something like that.

JASS:

    if IsTerrainPathable(GetUnitX(u), GetUnitY(u), PATHING_TYPE_FLOATABILITY) then
        <add dust effect here>
    elseif not IsTerrainPathable(GetUnitX(u), GetUnitY(u),PATHING_TYPE_WALKABILITY) then
        <add water effect here>
    endif

I suggest attaching it to the right foot of the unit, looks best.

Tim.	Again, very simple, but useful. Approved. Personally I find attaching to origin works just fine, especially when the unit is still being animated.
