Just had some serious problems..

10-31-2006, 07:42 PM

And now one of my spells doesn't work.

It's Jass, and I suck at Jass... all I get is errors if I try to start up the trigger.. I'm thinking I need something in the custom script code, as I tried to use the WE Enhancer to add Advanced Triggers, and ended up with 10000 errors... Now there is nothing in my custom script code.

Anyways, here is the spell.. Can anyone tell me what I need to do ?

The spell does create the Guardians, as that is based on GUI, but the control of the Guardians has gone out the window....

JASS:

function Trig_Guardian_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetUnitTypeId(GetSummonedUnit()) == 'n00F' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Guardian_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit ball = GetSummonedUnit()
    local unit master = GetSummoningUnit()
    local location target
    local real angle
    local real distance
    
    loop
    exitwhen IsUnitDeadBJ(ball)
    if (DistanceBetweenPoints(GetUnitLoc(ball), GetUnitLoc(master)) > 1000.00 ) then
        set target = GetUnitLoc(master)
        call IssuePointOrderLocBJ(ball, "move", target) 
        call RemoveLocation(target)
    else
        set target = GetUnitLoc(master)
        set angle =  GetRandomDirectionDeg()
        set distance = GetRandomReal(100.00, 500.00)

        call PolarProjectionNL(target, distance, angle)
        call IssuePointOrderLocBJ(ball, "attack", target)
        call RemoveLocation(target)
    endif
    call TriggerSleepAction( 0.50 )
    endloop
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Guardian takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Guardian = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Guardian, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SUMMON )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Guardian, Condition( function Trig_Guardian_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Guardian, function Trig_Guardian_Actions )
endfunction

Trigger:

Randomize Guardians

Events

Unit - A unit Spawns a summoned unit

Conditions

(Unit-type of (Summoned unit)) Equal to Lightning Guardian (Level 2)

Actions

Set Random_Elemental_Nr = (Random integer number between 0 and 5)

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Random_Elemental_Nr Equal to 1) or (Random_Elemental_Nr Equal to 2)

Then - Actions

Unit - Add Ball of Fire to (Summoned unit)

Else - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Random_Elemental_Nr Equal to 3

Then - Actions

Unit - Add Ball of Earth to (Summoned unit)

Else - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Random_Elemental_Nr Equal to 4) or (Random_Elemental_Nr Equal to 5)

Then - Actions

Unit - Add Ball of Ice to (Summoned unit)

Else - Actions

Do nothing

Custom script: call UnitAddAbilityBJ('Aloc',GetTriggerUnit())

Unit - Add Wander (Neutral) to (Triggering unit)

Fireeye	uhm, i think this is the problem JASS: exitwhen IsUnitDeadBJ(ball) If i'm not wrong you have to type JASS: exitwhen IsUnitDeadBJ(ball) == true

Captain Griffen	No, you don't. Boolean has to be true, no need to compare with true. GetWidgetLife(ball) < 0.405 would be better.

Zachary_Shadow	Cool, I'll see if it works... None of you said I needed anything in my custom script part (the things that load before any triggers) is that correct? I think I had something there .... JASS: call PolarProjectionNL(target, distance, angle) Getting an error like that... says: Expected a function name... Sorry, but I'm totally stupid at JASS... :P

I'm not quite sure... is this what you trying to do ?
- order the guardian to move towards the master when he is at range 1000 or more
- if it is in the range, ask the guadian to attack random loc around it

---

if thats the case, the try this, but i'm not sure will work or not

JASS:

function Trig_Guardian_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetUnitTypeId(GetSummonedUnit()) == 'n00F'

    local unit ball = GetSummonedUnit()
    local unit master = GetSummoningUnit()
    local location lball
    local location lmas
    local location target
    
    loop
    exitwhen GetWidgetLife(ball)<0.405
    set lball = GetUnitLoc(ball)
    set lmas = GetUnitLoc(master)
    if DistanceBetweenPoints(lball,lmas) > 1000 then
        call IssuePointOrderLoc(ball,"move",lmas) 
    else
        set target=PolarProjectionBJ(lball,GetRandomReal(100,500), GetRandomReal(0,360))
        call IssuePointOrderLocBJ(ball, "attack", target)
    endif
    call TriggerSleepAction(0.5)
    endloop
 set ball=null
 set master=null

Zachary_Shadow	Thanks Zen87 :) It works now, I suppose that I can change the range for the balls distance from the hero to whatever I want right ? Gonna try it out ;) +rep for the help!

11-04-2006, 03:21 AM	#7
zen87	yes, just change the value here JASS: if DistanceBetweenPoints(lball,lmas) > 1000 then //change the 1000, for your case, i do suggest a number around... 300-500

11-04-2006, 03:29 AM

Zachary_Shadow

Setting it at 300, just tried 650 and it seems like they get to go maybe 50-100 extra before returning as the trigger takes a bit to react, so 300 is fine :) Thanks for helping me out here since I fucked it up... gonna credit you for it and the original owner, although I've unfortunatly forgotten who wrote it for me back then :( I'll look around to see if I can't locate it :)

Wanna take a look at another trigger for me? Alot bigger though... hehe.. but it's only 1 thing I need to make happen...

11-04-2006, 03:53 AM	#9
zen87	well, i'll see what can i help, im still a jass learner after all, need more practice :P but remember to tell what's the trigger atctually doing x_x

Whitehorn	Zachary! When did you return?
