Collision Missile Problem - Position

08-26-2007, 02:57 PM	#1
Silvenon	I've noticed it before, but it wasn't important to me then. When the collision missile is created, it's always created a little left from the actual point it was supposed to be, I don't know why, but is there a way to fix that? It's really important to me. P.S. Maybe a cliff detection upgrade to your collision missiles Vex?

Vexorian	perhaps the dummy model is not centered. Or the model you are using on the missile is not centered or it is a problem caused by z-height , not cliffs I don't really know

Everything should be centered, I was using your dummy model and I was using blizzard's (company) arrow model, so everything should be centered. But something isn't, apparently

. Could maybe pathing blockers give problems like that? Because I'm using them.

And that thing I said about the cliff detection has nothing to do with this problem. I was just suggesting that it would be more realistic if the missile explodes on the cliff and not go over it.

EDIT1: Did some tests, something is definitely wrong with the position, I even removed the pathing blockers and still the same error occurs. Nothing is not-centered. I think Z-height is out of the question too, because I have a flat terrain and the height everywhere is 0.

EDIT2: Did some more tests, tried moving the missile to the right, but then it's a more little right then it should be, same like left. Arghhhhh!

Vexorian	Try SetUnitX/Y when moving the collision missile. did you make sure the dummy.mdx is well centered? I mean, if you temporarily replace the model of the caster unit with a missile does it fix it?

Tried it already.

This part I don't understand. Ooooh, yeah, it should be centered well, because I made a test with sfx on that spot, and sfx shows a little to the left too. Too bad...... :(

Vexorian	no, you didn't understand. I say that you should try to use the missile model directly on the caster system's unit. And then verify it is in the correct point.

umm... vexorian, i seem to be encountering this issue too...

i'm making a shockwave type ability with the collision missile and it's starting at an offset position..

i tested using this:

JASS:

function Trig_Fissure_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit caster = GetTriggerUnit()
    local location cpoint = GetUnitLoc(caster)     // caster location
    local location tpoint = GetSpellTargetLoc()
    local real angle = AngleBetweenPoints( cpoint, tpoint)
    local unit d
    local location p2 = PolarProjectionBJ(cpoint, 100, GetUnitFacing(caster)) // offset infront of caster


    // this is offset 
    set d = CollisionMissile_CreateLoc("Abilities\\Weapons\\AncientProtectorMissile\\AncientProtectorMissile.mdl", cpoint, angle, 500, 0, 1200, 65, true, 100, function FissureCollide)
    // but this isnt
    set d = CollisionMissile_CreateLoc("Abilities\\Weapons\\AncientProtectorMissile\\AncientProtectorMissile.mdl", p2, angle, 500, 0, 1200, 65, true, 100, function FissureCollide)
    
    call TriggerSleepAction(1.5)
    
    call RemoveLocation(tpoint)
    call RemoveLocation(cpoint)
    call RemoveLocation(p2)
    set caster = null
    set d = null
endfunction

any thoughts?
