creating and destroying special effects for local player.

07-26-2006, 09:26 PM

How can i correctly create special effect and still be able to destory them each one?

currently i have:

JASS:

function Quest_Status takes unit u, integer i, integer a returns effect
local string path=""
if ConvertedPlayer(i) == GetLocalPlayer() then
   if a == 0 then
   set path = "Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\TalkToMe\\TalkToMe.mdl"
   elseif a == 1 then
   set path = "Objects\\RandomObject\\RandomObject.mdl"
   elseif a == 2 then
   set path= "Objects\\RandomObject\\RandomObject.mdl"

   endif
endif
return AddSpecialEffectTargetUnitBJ( "overhead", u,  path)
endfunction

to create i use:

Trigger:

Custom script: set udg_QuestEffect[1] = Quest_Status(udg_TempQuestSetupUnit, 1, 0)

destory with:

Trigger:

Special Effect - Destroy QuestEffect[tempnumber]

I've done this in a spell on my map, to prevent other players from seeing you casting the trap. Simply, use a unit and use the model of the unit as the special effect, give it a permanent invisibility ability and create it for the owner of the certain player. That will play its effect. You can then add a timed life to it, depending on the length of the effect, usually 3 seconds is the most proper, it just depends on the animation length of the effect.

Linera	its not a unit, its a special effect to be place above a unit

Anitarf	What you have so far seems correct. What's the problem?

Linera	well, it seems to desync. but then my system has more problems then i can find. plus i suck at jass, but need it to make this system

If you really needed this, you could use my CF functions, as thats mainly for effects, it allows the hiding/showing of a effect for a player n stuff.

JASS:

function CF_CreateGroundEffect takes real X, real Y, real Z, real facing, real sizeFactor, string modelPath, integer red, integer green, integer blue, integer alpha returns effect
function CF_GetLastCreatedEffect takes nothing returns effect

function CF_GetEffectCarryingUnit takes effect whichEffect returns unit
function CF_GetEffectX takes effect whichEffect returns real
function CF_GetEffectY takes effect whichEffect returns real
function CF_GetEffectZ takes effect whichEffect returns real
function CF_GetEffectFacing takes effect whichEffect returns real
function CF_GetEffectSize takes effect whichEffect returns real
function CF_GetEffectModelPath takes effect whichEffect returns string
function CF_GetEffectRedColour takes effect whichEffect returns integer
function CF_GetEffectGreenColour takes effect whichEffect returns integer
function CF_GetEffectBlueColour takes effect whichEffect returns integer
function CF_GetEffectAlphaColour takes effect whichEffect returns integer

function CF_IsEffectLocked takes effect whichEffect returns boolean
function CF_IsEffectInRect takes effect whichEffect, real minX, real minY, real maxX, real maxY returns boolean
function CF_IsEffectInRectEx takes effect whichEffect, rect whichRect returns boolean
function CF_IsEffectInRange takes effect whichEffect, real X, real Y, real radius returns boolean
function CF_IsEffectInRangeEx takes effect whichEffect, location whichLocation, real radius returns boolean

function CF_SetEffectX takes effect whichEffect, real X returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectY takes effect whichEffect, real Y returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectLoc takes effect whichEffect, real X, real Y returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectLocEx takes effect whichEffect, location whichLocation returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectZ takes effect whichEffect, real newZ returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectFacing takes effect whichEffect, real facing returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectSize takes effect whichEffect, real sizeFactor returns nothing

function CF_EffectAddExpirationTime_Destroy takes nothing returns nothing
function CF_EffectAddExpirationTime takes effect whichEffect, real time returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectColour takes effect whichEffect, integer red, integer green, integer blue, integer alpha returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectRedColour takes effect whichEffect, integer red returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectGreenColour takes effect whichEffect, integer green returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectBlueColour takes effect whichEffect, integer blue returns nothing
function CF_SetEffectAlphaColour takes effect whichEffect, integer alpha returns nothing
    
function CF_CopyEffect takes effect whichEffect returns effect
function CF_CopyEffectLoc takes effect whichEffect, real X, real Y returns effect
function CF_CopyEffectLocEx takes effect whichEffect, location whichLocation returns effect

function CF_LockEffect takes effect whichEffect returns nothing
function CF_UnlockEffect takes effect whichEffect returns nothing
function CF_LockEffectEdit takes effect whichEffect, boolean lock returns nothing

function CF_ShowEffectForPlayer takes effect whichEffect, player whichPlayer returns nothing
function CF_HideEffectForPlayer takes effect whichEffect, player whichPlayer returns nothing
function CF_DisplayEffectForPlayer takes effect whichEffect, player whichPlayer, boolean show returns nothing

The bottom 3 functions are what you want.
But if you want to use ANY of the CF functions for effects, they have to be created with the CF_CreateGroundEffect, otherwise they wont work.
Its complicated how it works, it does actually attach the effect to a unit, but you cant notice, and will never tell.

If you do want to use them, the CF functions are below (some are bugged and uneffecient).

Note: Fill in the constants.

Blade.dk	I blame the desyncs on creating quests locally, as you said you were doing in the other thread.

07-27-2006, 12:49 PM	#8
Toadcop	Ofc there are desync ! it's the same as to create a unit for GetLocalPlayer() or Destruct... thats all logicaly ! GetLocalPlayer() is very "Dangeres" to use !ofc for Lan games. =)

Chuckle_Brother	Thats odd, because I thought Blade proved at one point that setting a variable(a local that is) locally was without issue. Of course if the problem persists, Vile's method would work as well, just make sure the dummy unit sticks with the unit you want it "attached" to

The)TideHunter(

You can set a variable localy, just not create 1.

This would work:

JASS:

...
    local string s
    if(GetLocalPlayer == SomePlayer) then
        set s = "Nobody can see this but me"
    else
        set s = "Aww, only that guy gets to see something secret"
    endif
    call DisplayEtcEtc(s)
...

This wouldent work:

JASS:

...
    local unit u
    if(GetLocalPlayer == SomePlayer) then
        set u = CreateUnit(etc)
    endif
...

EDIT: To put things in perspective, you cant create handles for 1 player.

Chuckle_Brother	He wasn't, he was setting a local string locally.

07-27-2006, 02:39 PM	#12
Blade.dk	Yeah, but in his other thread he was creating quest handles locally, and I blame the desyncs in his map on that. There's nothing wrong with the code posted in this thread.

Linera

Well in the following map that i attached, they used create quest and its local quests.
