| 05:29.47 | DeadZergling_ | well can get around that using a persistent effect I think |
| 05:30.49 | DeadZergling_ | but thinking it might be better to start w/ a model actor w/ attachment points that is hidden |
| 05:31.21 | DeadZergling_ | but has attachment that are visible, and spin, lol |

| 17:06.13 | MasterReY | ^^ |
| 17:06.21 | MasterReY | its only 16 workers on the field max |
| 17:06.27 | monkalizer | what will you do with that info? |
| 17:06.37 | MasterReY | hm |
| 17:06.39 | monkalizer | useful for the construciton of it |
| 17:06.47 | monkalizer | useful to know |
| 17:06.56 | MasterReY | i guess its easier to do an another way: ill explain: |
| 17:07.18 | MasterReY | i have an custom made objective which is "Harvest 300 minerals" |
| 17:07.23 | monkalizer | ok |
| 17:07.37 | MasterReY | and i want to display the remaining minerals all the time |
| 17:07.41 | monkalizer | mhm |
| 17:08.15 | MasterReY | so i thought i use an event "any player minerals changed" ----> x = 300 - current minerals of triggering player |
| 17:08.21 | MasterReY | display "x minerals left" |
| 17:08.26 | monkalizer | bad idea :) it will be too heavy |
| 17:08.35 | EnexyNunu | shabba |
| 17:08.39 | MasterReY | but like i said there are only 16 probes |
| 17:08.47 | monkalizer | there is another method for these kind of things.... let me explain |
| 17:08.55 | MasterReY | so it would fire like twice a second |
| 17:09.00 | MasterReY | kk im listening |
| 17:09.03 | MasterReY | i always want to learn |
| 17:09.05 | MasterReY | ^^ |
| 17:09.21 | monkalizer | have you made any custom functions= |
| 17:09.25 | monkalizer | ? |
| 17:10.13 | monkalizer | my solution requires a custom function so tell me if you have not made any |
| 17:10.30 | Zolden | MasterReY: maybe it's a stage of harvest ability |
| 17:10.37 | MasterReY | hm |
| 17:10.48 | MasterReY | what do you mean by custom function? |
| 17:11.30 | MasterReY | i have an action def. which creates the dialog to display the remaining mins |
| 17:12.02 | Zolden | so, if you have an event like "... uses ability your_harvest_ability", then you check its stage and player's name |
| 17:12.29 | MasterReY | i havent made a custom harvest ability |
| 17:12.56 | MasterReY | i guess i could use the probes "return cargo" ability? |
| 17:12.58 | monkalizer | my solution: make a function that runs in its own thread. It takes in a player parameter and the number of minerals you want to count down. In the function, make a variable called playerMineralsHarvestedTime0. Set this variable to the amount of minerals the player has harvested when the function starts. Then make a while loop that checks another variable, called mineralsharvested, when its zero you should stop. T |
| 17:13.39 | MasterReY | uh |
| 17:14.34 | Zolden | probably |
| 17:14.44 | monkalizer | inside the while loop you set the minerals harvested to the amount of minerals the player has harvested at that time minus the starting value. When this value is over the threshold the while loop will stop. Inside the while-loop you add a wait for perhaps 1 second or so as well as functions that updates the dialog with the number. The good thing with these solutions is that you can control exactly how many times you want to d |
| 17:14.55 | monkalizer | it does not matter if you have 1 or 5000 workers :) |
| 17:15.01 | monkalizer | now i'm done |
| 17:15.34 | MasterReY | so basically a periodic "current player minerals" check |
| 17:16.11 | MasterReY | wait ill actually try it |
| 17:16.30 | monkalizer | yeah, but the periodic event runs inside the same thread as the rest of the program. it might slow it down... better to put it into its own thread. |
| 17:17.14 | MasterReY | ya sure |
| 17:17.22 | monkalizer | this is really good for all kinds of periodic check-ups. I'm using this kind of solution to check which team is dominating a specific zone. |
| 17:17.22 | MasterReY | i have functions with own thread |
| 17:17.23 | MasterReY | s |
| 17:17.47 | MasterReY | however |
| 17:17.58 | MasterReY | triggers always use own threads by default |
| 17:18.23 | EnexyNunu | Shabba |
| 17:18.25 | monkalizer | hm did not know that... someone else told me that they might cause lag... |
| 17:18.58 | monkalizer | go with the solution you are more comfortable with ^^ |
| 17:19.54 | MasterReY | ok |
| 17:19.58 | MasterReY | one question to your solution |
| 17:20.08 | MasterReY | In the function, make a variable called playerMineralsHarvestedTime0. Set this variable to the amount of minerals the player has harvested when the function starts. |
| 17:20.16 | MasterReY | what do you mean by that exactly? |
| 17:20.19 | monkalizer | mhm |
| 17:21.09 | monkalizer | well there is a function that returns the amount of player total harvested minerals. It changes all the time, so you need something to compare it with |
| 17:21.19 | MasterReY | oh |
| 17:21.30 | MasterReY | since beginning of the game? |
| 17:22.07 | monkalizer | so before the while loop, you create this value. If you go with a periodic trigger, you would create this variable as a global variable. |
| 17:22.10 | monkalizer | yes |
| 17:22.17 | MasterReY | ah ok |
| 17:22.23 | MasterReY | but i cant find that function |
| 17:22.49 | MasterReY | ah |
| 17:22.51 | MasterReY | you mean |
| 17:22.55 | MasterReY | "Minerals Collected"? |
| 17:23.01 | monkalizer | player get property int mineralscollected |
| 17:23.05 | monkalizer | yup |
| 17:23.10 | MasterReY | kk |
| 17:24.50 | monkalizer | to make a function run in its own thread, you check this option checkbox called Options/Create Thread |
| 17:28.59 | MasterReY | http://pastebin.com/t45c1i4q |
| 17:29.03 | MasterReY | like that i guess |
| 17:30.15 | monkalizer | yep! and some function calls to upate your dialogs |
| 17:30.29 | MasterReY | yeah i didnt include these yet |
| 17:30.42 | MasterReY | i was a bit confused because you said: |
| 17:30.52 | MasterReY | Then make a while loop that checks another variable, called mineralsharvested, when its zero you should stop. T |
| 17:30.56 | monkalizer | if you would to this with a trigger that executes every time someone adds some minerals/a unit dies or whatever it would be a lot of unneccecary checks/updates. In this way: you are in complete control! |
| 17:31.00 | MasterReY | but the while loop shouldnt hit 0 |
| 17:31.08 | MasterReY | at least in that code i wrote |
| 17:31.45 | MasterReY | the "count" parameter is my 300 btw |
| 17:32.09 | monkalizer | well, how you write that condition is up to your own taste i guess :) |
| 17:32.19 | monkalizer | yeah i understood :) |
| 17:33.14 | MasterReY | well ok thanks alot :) |
| 17:33.26 | MasterReY | ill try it know with the dialog updates in |
| 17:33.45 | monkalizer | 0.2 seconds is usually the smallest amount of time a player detects... 0.5 is pretty often. I think you can even set it to 1 second checks, players wont detect the difference of that 0.5 second. |

| 17:35.53 | monkalizer | cool! have you tried the raynor cart mod? |
| 17:36.49 | MasterReY | oh |
| 17:36.51 | MasterReY | repo |
| 17:37.02 | MasterReY | what is "ZrT"? |
| 17:37.05 | MasterReY | i see it alot |
| 17:39.10 | MasterReY | lol looks very good, i like how the color of the car turns to grey whenever its jumping^^ |
| 17:39.37 | monkalizer | me thinks ZrT is a clan :) |
| 17:39.42 | MasterReY | so monkalizer, looks like the function works like that :) thanks alot |
| 17:39.56 | monkalizer | good good |
| 17:40.07 | MasterReY | i didnt know the "minerals collected" function |
| 17:41.13 | MasterReY | ZrT does make alot of maps |
| 17:41.22 | MasterReY | but the description is very bad most of the times |
| 17:41.32 | MasterReY | not even in english sometimes^^ |
| 17:41.58 | MasterReY | and so many different kinds, even melee maps i think |
| 17:42.07 | monkalizer | i know, but I know they are working on writing better tooltips |
| 17:42.23 | MasterReY | They should improve and streamline their descriptions etc |
| 17:43.47 | monkalizer | what kind of project are you working on? |
| 17:44.05 | *** join/#sc2mapster Exaken|2 (~kvirc@dhcp-077-251-207-054.chello.nl) |
| 17:44.57 | MasterReY | Its a 1v1 micro map |
| 17:45.08 | MasterReY | with some base defence levels mixed in |
| 17:45.29 | monkalizer | kk |
| 17:45.44 | MasterReY | that level that i just used as an example is: 9 zerglings rushing a protoss base with 1 pylon/1gateway/16 probes |
| 17:45.58 | MasterReY | zerg has to kill 8 probes to win |
| 17:46.04 | MasterReY | protoss has to mine 300 minerals to win |
| 17:46.29 | MasterReY | but 80% of the levels are just 2 armies fighting each other without big triggers or functions |
| 17:46.37 | MasterReY | just check then supply of a player hits 0^^ |
| 17:46.43 | MasterReY | when* |
| 17:46.51 | MasterReY | its on page4 top rated maps |
| 17:46.56 | MasterReY | "Micro Wars EvolutioN" |
| 17:47.18 | monkalizer | a bit like challanges then |
| 17:47.29 | monkalizer | mini-challenges with micro |
| 17:47.56 | MasterReY | its basically a very popular map from SC: BW |
| 17:48.07 | MasterReY | its also highly competitive |
| 17:48.17 | MasterReY | a diamond wont win vs a master etc |
| 17:48.37 | MasterReY | its balanced over around ~9 month with topmasters/grandmasters |
| 17:48.55 | MasterReY | how im just working on the look basically |
| 17:49.14 | monkalizer | i see, well it will be interesting to see how it turns out. i did not play bw back then so I dont know that game. |
| 17:49.55 | MasterReY | its just like player 1 gets 12 marines/8marauders, player 2 gets 6 sentries/10zealots/6stalkers |
| 17:49.58 | MasterReY | for example |
| 17:50.01 | MasterReY | and then they fight |
| 17:50.06 | MasterReY | whoever wins gets one point |
| 17:50.09 | MasterReY | 39 levels total |
| 17:50.23 | MasterReY | whoever has more poinbts than the other player wins in the end |
| 17:51.00 | MasterReY | and there are SOME "base defense" levels mixed in like the zergling rush vs the probes |
| 17:51.16 | monkalizer | sounds simple enough. I think I played some kind of pvp tournament map like that, with 8 or so rectangle-shaped areas where we were supposed to fight (eu server) |
| 17:51.22 | MasterReY | yea |
| 17:51.27 | MasterReY | thats "Micro Tournament" |
| 17:51.34 | monkalizer | ah ok |
| 17:51.51 | MasterReY | its basically the same but 1v1 |
| 17:52.02 | monkalizer | i liked it, but problem was i was so poor that I lost all the time :) |
| 17:52.03 | MasterReY | however the micro tournament creator neglects his map now |
| 17:52.07 | MasterReY | so its totally outdated |
| 17:52.12 | MasterReY | and imbalanced due to patches |
| 17:52.25 | monkalizer | i think that is a better way to go because the other players had to wait a long time :) |
| 17:52.34 | MasterReY | yeah |
| 17:52.41 | monkalizer | i mean your way |
| 17:52.48 | MasterReY | my scenarios are very close to real ingame scenarios |
| 17:52.58 | MasterReY | so its actually useful to practice your micro for ladder |
| 17:53.00 | MasterReY | ^^ |
| 17:53.18 | monkalizer | mhm |
| 17:54.04 | MasterReY | ok back to mapping |
| 18:09.23 | monkalizer | can someone explain to me how player groups work. If I iterate over players in a group, will the iterator always start at 0 or will it somehow use the "number" of the player that was set in the game lobby |
| 18:09.30 | monkalizer | or in player properties |
| 18:13.26 | monkalizer | or if someone would care to explain the difference between "pick each player in group" and "for each player in group" |
| 18:18.49 | Zolden | I don't understand how people been texturing 100 years ago when there was no internet, where did they get textures, from papers? |
| 18:19.59 | monkalizer | they painted it on the screen directly. |
| 18:20.05 | monkalizer | with paint |
| 18:21.53 | Zolden | that explains why painters like van gough used to cut themselves: own-painted textures are ugly, it hurts artistic soul |

| 18:34.22 | MasterReY | monka |
| 18:34.33 | MasterReY | i got into a problem now |
| 18:34.40 | monkalizer | ok |
| 18:34.57 | MasterReY | you remember i have that "mineral counting/dialog updating"-function in a new thread |
| 18:35.00 | MasterReY | with the while loop |
| 18:35.14 | MasterReY | however when the goal is reached it should stop |
| 18:35.15 | monkalizer | yep |
| 18:35.16 | MasterReY | but it does now |
| 18:35.18 | MasterReY | not* |
| 18:35.30 | MasterReY | so when i have another round using that function |
| 18:35.32 | MasterReY | it bugs |
| 18:35.36 | MasterReY | i need something like |
| 18:35.43 | MasterReY | "stop this instance" |
| 18:35.52 | monkalizer | so something is wrong with the stopping-condition |
| 18:36.04 | MasterReY | oh |
| 18:36.06 | MasterReY | i know |
| 18:36.17 | MasterReY | it checks if the currently harvested minerals reached the goalö |
| 18:36.33 | MasterReY | but if the OTHER player wins the round by killing the probes |
| 18:36.40 | MasterReY | the mineral-mining-goal is never met |
| 18:37.10 | MasterReY | so i guess setting the "currently harvested minerals" variable to something over the goal for a second would be enough right? |
| 18:37.43 | MasterReY | to stop the while-loop |
| 18:37.45 | monkalizer | im not sure if I understand what the problem is. |
| 18:37.50 | MasterReY | hehe ok |
| 18:38.03 | MasterReY | nevermind ill try it myself, i think i know |

| 21:40.08 | A1win | tutorial tooltip library? |
| 21:41.38 | Dustin | Yeah for onscreen timed, or paged based tooltips focuses at being a fast way to create tutorials for your map |
| 21:43.15 | Dustin | Also on each page you'd have the option to run custom actions, setup templates for tooltips etc |

| 21:51.22 | monkalizer | if you want to move the minimap many of the standard features will no longer be available |

| 22:00.18 | Ahli | and the rest of the UI`? |
| 22:00.33 | Bounty | is hidden |
| 22:00.38 | Bounty | >.< |
| 22:00.43 | Bounty | I just need the minimap |
| 22:00.52 | Bounty | also, you can increase the detail of the minimap right? |
| 22:03.16 | Ahli | detail of minimap? |
| 22:03.21 | Bounty | yeah |
| 22:03.28 | Bounty | so it shows things on the map like doodads etc |
| 22:03.32 | Ahli | higher resolution image? |
| 22:03.40 | Bounty | i suppose? |
| 22:03.55 | Ahli | in map options you can set the minimap image to custom |
| 22:04.16 | Ahli | then in terrain module there is a terrain image thing |
| 22:04.31 | Bounty | is there an easy take to take a SS of the map in the editor? |
| 22:04.53 | Ahli | that thing can make pictures of the terrain, if you write "Minimap", it overwrites your Minimap image I believe |
| 22:05.14 | Bounty | how can i take a picture of the map in the editor? |
| 22:05.20 | Bounty | has to be an option |
| 22:05.29 | Ahli | it's possible. Did that twice, but it was always overriden some time later, but I didn't know of the map info thing back then |
| 22:06.16 | Ahli | terrain module -> export map imatge |
| 22:06.17 | Taintedwisp | now.. to use an infested Goliath :P |
| 22:06.47 | Bounty | ty |

| 22:53.41 | Bounty | is annoying lol |
| 22:53.51 | Ahli | uhm... |
| 22:54.44 | Ahli | you could make the minimap use your map dimensions |
| 22:54.53 | Ahli | just resize it properly |
| 22:54.56 | Bounty | se camera bounds right? |
| 22:54.57 | Bounty | set* |

| 23:38.32 | monkalizer | hello |
| 23:38.40 | NGKrush | working on creating a missile using the ability effect - instant, but it says i need a target |
| 23:38.44 | NGKrush | so iot wont shoot |
| 23:38.46 | NGKrush | it |
| 23:39.52 | Bommes | well you do need a target |
| 23:39.57 | monkalizer | yes... there are two strategies here |
| 23:39.58 | Bommes | where do you want to shoot the missile? |
| 23:40.19 | NGKrush | well, i want to shoot the missile in a straight line in front of the unit |
| 23:40.26 | NGKrush | no "real" target |
| 23:40.35 | monkalizer | either you make a search for units in an area around the click-point, or you create a dummy-unit/actor that spawns on the click point and target that |
| 23:40.37 | NGKrush | it will check if it hits something along the way |
| 23:40.43 | Bommes | the easiest way in my opinion is to create a persistent then |
| 23:40.51 | Bommes | that persistent fires the launch missile effect |
| 23:41.01 | Bommes | and in the persistent you can specify an offset |
| 23:41.09 | NGKrush | monk, i'm trying to get it to work without mouse inputs |
| 23:41.10 | Ahli | use negative Y offset |
| 23:41.11 | Bommes | forward in a straight line would be negative y axis |
| 23:41.37 | Bommes | but you can also use movers for the same effect afaik with arrival type never or something |

| 23:41.59 | NGKrush | ok, so i have 2 create persistence\ |
| 23:42.10 | NGKrush | can i add it to either one? or make a new one? |
| 23:42.11 | Ahli | why? |
| 23:42.13 | ThunderLord | Is there no option for diamond shaped regions? |
| 23:42.14 | Bommes | one should be enough |
| 23:42.25 | NGKrush | 1 checks enemy collision |
| 23:42.30 | Bommes | what does your effect tree look like right now? |
| 23:42.49 | Bommes | have you set the offset there? |
| 23:43.03 | NGKrush | no |
| 23:43.32 | Bommes | oh yes |
| 23:43.33 | NGKrush | i have a launch missile, search area, damage and 2 persistaences and a destroy pers |
| 23:43.49 | Bommes | yeah that sounds right |
| 23:44.02 | NGKrush | follwoing this fireball tut only using effect - instant instead of target |
| 23:44.04 | NGKrush | http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/resources/tutorials/17154-data-colliding-projectiles/ |
| 23:44.58 | Bommes | have you tried setting the impact location to source point? |
| 23:45.01 | Bommes | or caster point |
| 23:45.04 | NGKrush | so i fill in an offset in the target: offset - final? |
| 23:45.08 | Bommes | in the launch missile |
| 23:45.36 | Bommes | what error message do you get with your current setup? |
| 23:45.43 | Bommes | the offset should be in the periodic offset field |
| 23:45.50 | Bommes | for your first persistent |
| 23:45.58 | Bommes | the initial one |
| 23:46.03 | NGKrush | Must target unit |
| 23:46.11 | NGKrush | i did that yes |
| 23:46.43 | Bommes | the target: location fields aren't correct then i think |
| 23:46.49 | Bommes | whats in there? |
| 23:46.52 | Bommes | right now |
| 23:47.23 | NGKrush | in launch missile? |
| 23:47.41 | Bommes | in the initial persistent |
| 23:47.42 | Zolden | Taintedwisp: yes, I'm noob modeller, what's the matter |
| 23:47.52 | NGKrush | target: launch location + says (None):Source Unit |
| 23:48.22 | NGKrush | in initial is says Source Point |
| 23:48.39 | NGKrush | i can send my map if it helps? |
| 23:48.40 | Bommes | and impact location in the launch missile effect? |
| 23:48.46 | Bommes | sure :) would be good |
| 23:48.56 | NGKrush | also source point |
| 23:49.00 | NGKrush | cool, tnx! |
