SetUnitFacing Question

03-04-2008, 04:34 PM

Hello,

I have a spell that twist the creature objective, but the twist is very slow. I wanted something like cyclone:

JASS:

function Trig_Twist_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A070' 
endfunction

function Twist_Main takes nothing returns nothing
local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
local unit u = GetHandleUnit(t,"Twist_Unit")
local real a = GetHandleReal(t,"Twist_Ang")+60

    if(a>360)then
        set a = 1
    endif

    call SetUnitFacing(u,a)
    call SetHandleReal(t,"Twist_Ang",a)
    
set u = null
set t = null
endfunction

function Trig_Twist_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
local timer t = CreateTimer()
local unit v = GetSpellTargetUnit()
    call PauseUnit(v,true)
    call SetHandleUnit(t,"Twist_Unit",v)
    call SetHandleReal(t,"Twist_Ang",GetUnitFacing(v))
    call TimerStart(t,0.035,true,function Twist_Main)
    call TriggerSleepAction(1.1)
    call FlushHandleLocals(t)
    call DestroyTimer(t)
    
set t = null
set v = null    
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Twist takes nothing returns nothing
local trigger gg_trg_Twist = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Twist, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Twist, Condition( function Trig_Twist_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Twist, function Trig_Twist_Actions )
endfunction

When I use this code:

JASS:

function Trig_Twist_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A070' 
endfunction

function Twist_Main takes nothing returns nothing
local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
local unit u = GetHandleUnit(t,"Twist_Unit")
local real a = GetUnitFacing(u)+45

    if(a>360)then
        set a = 1
    endif
    call BJDebugMsg(R2S(a))
    call SetUnitFacing(u,a)
    
set u = null
set t = null
endfunction

function Trig_Twist_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
local timer t = CreateTimer()
local unit v = GetSpellTargetUnit()
    call PauseUnit(v,true)
    call SetHandleUnit(t,"Twist_Unit",v)
    call TimerStart(t,0.035,true,function Twist_Main)
    call TriggerSleepAction(1.1)
    call FlushHandleLocals(t)
    call DestroyTimer(t)
    
set t = null
set v = null    
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Twist takes nothing returns nothing
local trigger gg_trg_Twist = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Twist, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Twist, Condition( function Trig_Twist_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Twist, function Trig_Twist_Actions )
endfunction

This return me, numbers like this:
45
47
50
53
etc.

Why SetUnitFacing is too slow???

Anitarf	It is not possible to change the facing of a unit instantly; it can only turn as fast as it's turn speed (defined in the object editor) will allow it.

And Which is the difference between SetUnitFacing and SetUnitFacingTimed???

Anitarf	The timed version allows you to set it slower than the unit's turn speed.

GALLED	Ah ok. Thanks, so i cannot make my cyclone :(

RolePlaynGamer	You could hide the hero and place a dummy unit with bladestorm, then let the dummy use it, and finally remove the dummy and un-hide the hero

GALLED	It wanted to do it, but towards an objective creature. Not to the hero.

RolePlaynGamer	What do you mean?

I want to do custom Cyclone, but without the special effect. Just that the creature turns and turns.

RolePlaynGamer	If you mean where the hero / dummy just do the bladestorm whirlwind, without damaging anyone, then just set these fields in the bladestorm skill in Object Editor: Damage Per Second ~ 0.00 Area of Effect ~ 0.00 Duration ~ Whatever you want Hero Ability ~ Set to false Mana Cost ~ 0 Required Level ~ 0

burningice95	I think the bladestorm is actually part of the blademaster model, so giving it to a unit w/o that model will do nothing (except constantly damage the are around him, maybe)

Fledermaus	And preventing him from casting spells.

RolePlaynGamer	Then give the dummy the blademastyer model, none will notice that it has blademaster model if it begin spinning when it's created
