I'm making a tank arena map and I reaaaaally need some cool looking weapons. So far I made only 5 weapons for the past week. I need some functions for a boomerang type weapon. I attempted to create one myself but there was a tiny flaw... Instead of going in a "U" direction it went "S". And my boomerang attempt was not moving smoothly too. I had this vision in my mind that the boomerang weapon should: 1. Curve smoothly and curve in a realistic fashion. 2. Must be in GUI because I suck at JASS. By suck I mean that from a scale of 1 - 10 my skills are 0. 3. I want it to be as flexible as possible. What I mean by this is that when I want to change a property for example... My original boomerang will only damage targets. I want to change it to a boomerang that freezes enemies that it hits without disturbing its movement. 4. I need to remove leaks. My previous boomerang leaked like hell. If anyone can help me with this boomerang script thingy, please do. I will give credit of course. Thanks! |

I guess it is "possible" Quote:

I've done some pretty kool things in gui, a boom-a-rang should be very possible too. It's all about how you do it, For a U shape have you tried a parabola for the equation in calculating its position? In math class we worked with them and the graph was a big U shape. If you want to make it change length and such all you need is to change its key numbers. The formula is ax^2 + bx + c, for you x will likely be a constant and all u need is to change a b and c to make it change shape and size. Experiment. |

@Vexorian I tried learning JASS before but somehow I get all the stuff mixed up. I can't make anything work. I tried importing some spells too. I can activate JASS spells using GUI but sometimes even if I try to import some spells they end up messing my map like hell. To cut it short, I'm in a wierd trauma on how to create JASS spells. I can import them but that's all I know. My life is so sad. :( |

This is off-topic sorry: Why not try learning jass using the Jass NewGen pack ( look on vexorians sig), It's like WE but a lot better, specially for learners. I learned to jass using this, also check the tutorials section, there are a lot of helpful tutorials there specially for beginners. I learned from them, just give it a try. Good Luck man |

Try making it yourself first, then give us some specific questions and you'll get more help. It's definitely possible to do it in GUI. |

Try cohadar's tutorial for changing a basic GUI trigger to vJASS. It's VERY helpful http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showpost...55&postcount=4 |
