JASS:

function RollingBoulder_GuessBounce takes item p,real f, real x, real y returns real
 local integer i=128
 local real h= 1.4142136*i //SquareRoot(2)
 local real r
 local boolean b1
 local boolean b2
 local boolean b3
 local boolean b4
 local boolean b5

Why don't you use just one array instead of 5 single boolean vars?
One of the most realistic spells ever! (That sounds quite strange =) )

By the way, can you submit the "storm, earth and fire" - spellmap, too or at least PM how it works? Thx.

Vexorian	Using an array would be less practical I think, check out the rest of the function and fine a way to make it work in a loop.

BertTheJasser	Just a thought of sense and simplicity(?).

Vexorian	well If I used an array it would 4*8129 bytes if I use 5 variables it would use 20 bytes

Looks nice. There are a few small greviences(my spelling is probably off the wall wrong). anyway, sometimes the silly thing bounces off of shallow water or off of suddenly deep areas of water, which looks a little silly, big ol' boulder scared of a little water. I included a picture of my big scary rock running from the water.

Ah and sigh, your sig quote thing pwnt mine(mutters that he could have sworn it was 2001 not 2002 when WC3 was released)

Vexorian	It is a magical boulder so it can run away some times. Well I would only blame the collision size of items that sometimes they could be blocked by water in some point but the point is not actually water err.

an amazingly fun spell Vexorian -- something I intend to definitely use in my map.

I was playing around with the triggers though and I haven't figured out how to make the rock bounce when it hits a unit -- right now it only bounces if it hits an edge or hits a "structure"

I've been looking at it for a while, and I don't think I really understand all of your code -- I do know however that I have to modify your "BoulderMove" function in some way.

Vexorian	you would have to change GetPathability to detect units as well, but this is acutally a little hard

moonliterhythm	yeh i've been toying with your "ItemCheck" and trying to get it to return false when it sees a unit around itself, except for the unit itself -- am I on the right track?
