Bouncing units off eachother

Onihero	In the map im making I need to make my unit bounce off other units during the course of a "jump" action done with HINDYHAT's particle system. I was wondering if anyone had a custom collision function for this? Edit: Thanks for all your help and by custom collision function I meant the things that happen on collision not the detection.

cohadar	Collision is always a part of system as I know. There are no functions for that.

Onihero	If there are no functions, then how did infrane make sure you couldn't bounce through trees?

WNxCryptic	He wrote his own functions, there are no internal or native collision functions in the use that you're referring to.

HINDYhat	Isn't there already a function to do that in my system? Just do: JASS: call <particlevariablename>.SetCollisionFunc("CollisionBounce") Anyway I'm making another one now, using OOP and alot more accurate calculations. Will be alot easier to do stuff like this...

You can declare your own functions like this:

JASS:

function YourFunctionName takes <argument1type> <argument1name>, <argument2type> <argument2name>, <argument3type> <argument3name> ... returns <returntype>
// Add function body here.
endfunction

If a function has no arguments, and returns no value you would write it like this:

JASS:

function YourFunctionName takes nothing returns nothing
// Add function body here.
endfunction

There are loads of tutorials that can explain this better than I did, but anyway that's totally off-topic to this thread's subject.

On the other hand, I can't get this damn collision to work! T_T
