Adding buff to a unit instantly

02-06-2007, 03:02 PM	#1
CommanderZ	Hello, I need to stun a unit from JASS for several seconds and then remove the buff after several seconds, it is not an effect of any ability, I just need to stun it. Can this be done in some really simple way?

wyrmlord	Make an ability that has the buff that you want (perhaps Tornado Aura that just targets self and doesn't slow) and give that ability to the unit that you want to have the buff. You can't just add a buff to a unit, you need to add an ability instead.

CommanderZ	Okay, thanks Just hoped it will be simplier

The)TideHunter(	Use Blu's Stun System. Much easier, work done for you, Blu's system lets you stun one or multiple units for as long as you like, no problems. Here is a link to the system.

I have to make the clone of Tornado(slowing aura) ability and set "Stats - Buffs" to stunned or stunned (pause) (what is the difference?) , right? Are there any other parameters I should change (such as Area of Effect as I need to stun just a single unit)? I used command

JASS:

call UnitAddAbility( GetSellingUnit(),'A002')

And it doesn't work

Btw...is it possible to this with buildings? I need to stun a building.

The)TideHunter(: Thanks, looks nice, but I don't know the duration of the effect - the system seems to need to know exact length of the stun

PS: Sorry if my questions are dumb, I'm newbie to wc3 modding, I started to learn JASS yesterday ;)

Captain Griffen	You can't actually stun instantly. You'll need to use a dummy unit to use a stunning ability on the building.

CommanderZ	How do I use such dummy? Are there any other (better) ways to disable a building? Thanks for patience :)

You could simply pause it :)

CommanderZ	I managed to pause it, but I failed in unpausing it, I used this: JASS: call PauseUnit( GetSellingUnit(),true ) ...block of commands call PauseUnit( GetSellingUnit(),false ) The building stays paused :(

Captain Griffen	GetSellingUnit() may not work after a wait. Try setting it to a local unit.

I tred it, but it still remains paused :(

Here is whole function:

JASS:

    local integer i
    local unit sellingu
    set sellingu=GetSellingUnit()
    set i = 1
    call Msg("Flushing")
    call PauseUnit( sellingu,true )
    call Msg("PLAYERNR"+I2S(playernr))
    loop
        set i = 1
        //call Msg("CELKEM ON FLUSH"+I2S(udg_queue_c[playernr]))
        exitwhen(udg_queue_c[playernr]==0)
        call spawn(udg_queue_u[queueNr(playernr,1)],playernr)
        call RemoveUnit(udg_queue_ru[queueNr(playernr,1)])     
        loop
            exitwhen(i==udg_queue_c[playernr])
            exitwhen(udg_queue_c[playernr]==1)
            call SetUnitPositionLoc( udg_queue_ru[queueNr(playernr,i+1)], GetRectCenter(udg_queue_r[queueNr(playernr,i)]) )
            set udg_queue_ru[queueNr(playernr,i)] = udg_queue_ru[queueNr(playernr,i+1)]
            set udg_queue_u[queueNr(playernr,i)] = udg_queue_u[queueNr(playernr,i+1)]
            set i=i+1
        endloop
        call TriggerSleepAction( 1.00 )
        set udg_queue_c[playernr]=udg_queue_c[playernr]-1
    endloop
    //call Msg("WOW") 
    call PauseUnit( sellingu,false )

Captain Griffen	If you have debug messages, feel free to tell us what they say. Does the "WOW" display when tested?

Joker	I would blame that wait in that loop

02-06-2007, 08:40 PM	#14
CommanderZ	Yes, "wow" displays well (when not commented). Whole script works as expected (not saying well, still has several bugs) Joker: Why, what is wrong? The scipt should spawn several queued units with one second delays
