| 00:10.37 | temhawk | MINIMAN10000: would something like this work for you? http://peeeq.de/gui.php?id=3850 |
| 01:16.32 | MINIMAN10000 | temhawk, is there no just "if then"? |
| 01:22.01 | temhawk | MINIMAN10000: yes, the last 7 lines are just a simple If-Then-Else. no, you cannot just call a function for this, unless you want to write Galaxy script |
| 01:23.27 | MINIMAN10000 | gah so no just "if then" |
| 01:23.34 | MINIMAN10000 | weird. |
| 01:32.04 | MINIMAN10000 | temhawk, thanks for the help, heres my finished command |
| 01:43.52 | MINIMAN10000 | well that wasn't accounted for. |
| 01:43.55 | MINIMAN10000 | cows have abilities |
| 01:48.15 | MINIMAN10000 | also unexpected |
| 01:48.19 | MINIMAN10000 | 16383 is the unit limit? |
| 01:48.57 | MINIMAN10000 | woulda thought it would be 16384 |
| 01:50.55 | MINIMAN10000 | this guy on the forums says 16384... off by 1 error somewhere... |
| 01:52.29 | MINIMAN10000 | why in the world am i getting 16383 then. |
| 01:53.07 | temhawk | isn't 1 bit used for the sign? |
| 01:54.07 | temhawk | or isn't it because you need zero? |
| 01:54.58 | temhawk | 1 bit = 0 or 1, 2 bits = 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 |
| 01:55.29 | temhawk | the maximum value is always 2^n-1 |
| 01:55.41 | MINIMAN10000 | "Ok, SC2 doesn't use a true linked list for units. It uses an array of 16384 units, and each one has the index of the previous and next units. " |
| 01:56.05 | MINIMAN10000 | it's an array, so there should be access to all of them. |
| 01:57.30 | temhawk | well, you do have access to all of them. arrays are usually zero-based. so you should be able to get Units[0] |
| 01:57.56 | temhawk | so there would be 16,384 array members/units |
| 01:58.43 | MINIMAN10000 | but it should have spawned 16384 |
| 01:59.24 | temhawk | oh, you're talking about units on the map, not units in the catalog? |
| 01:59.34 | MINIMAN10000 | I'm adding all units created into a unit group, and setting my minerals equal to the number of units in the unit group. and it reports 16383 |
| 02:29.02 | temhawk | how are you creating 16,383 units? It seems I can only create 4,096 |
| 02:30.00 | temhawk | I know 16,383 is the limit because I tested it myself a few months ago but I can't do it again wtf |
| 02:33.08 | MINIMAN10000 | you have to use something without abilities |
| 02:33.14 | MINIMAN10000 | i just used shape cube temhawk |
| 02:33.23 | MINIMAN10000 | abilities take up unit slots |
| 02:33.45 | temhawk | WHAT? FOR REAL? |
| 02:34.04 | MINIMAN10000 | im trying to figure out how to create my own model now so i can spawn that and toy around with custominzing a unit |
| 02:34.07 | MINIMAN10000 | customizing* |
| 02:34.18 | temhawk | I did use the shapecube when I tested it before as well |
| 02:37.49 | temhawk | well. now I used the shapecube and I got 9,440.... |
| 02:40.33 | temhawk | ok, now I got it. 16,383. had to ignore placement requirements |
| 02:45.50 | MINIMAN10000 | weird 16383 for you too? |
| 02:47.24 | MINIMAN10000 | damn I just can't for the life of me remember how to link an actor to a unit |
| 02:50.37 | temhawk | I *think* it's just implicitly linked by way of there being a UnitBirth -> Create event/message |
| 02:51.47 | MINIMAN10000 | I mean I created a actors which holds the model, I created a Unit which can be placed. But do not know how to tie the actor ( which contains the model ) to the unit |
| 02:52.17 | temhawk | and you may be able to change it by changing the "Unit Name" token at the bottom, although I've had mixed success with it |
| 02:53.06 | temhawk | is it a "Unit" actor type? |
| 02:53.25 | MINIMAN10000 | yes it is a unit actor type |
| 02:54.20 | temhawk | I think you just need UnitBirth.UnitName -> Create under Event: Events |
| 02:56.32 | MINIMAN10000 | alright i found unit birth under Detailed view -> Unit |
| 02:56.57 | MINIMAN10000 | it's set to none on zealot, unit birth does not need to be set. |
| 02:58.36 | MINIMAN10000 | shoot wait |
| 02:58.39 | temhawk | you're looking at the Unit entry. I'm talking about the "Event" tab of the Actor entry |
| 02:58.42 | MINIMAN10000 | im looking at unit when i meant to look at actor |
| 03:01.50 | temhawk | good luck there |
| 03:03.23 | MINIMAN10000 | gah i cant even find a event tab on actor |
| 03:05.52 | temhawk | it's the default tab all the way on the left |
| 03:06.30 | temhawk | the first thing there is a tall list of all the actor events |
| 03:10.06 | MINIMAN10000 | ah |
| 03:10.12 | MINIMAN10000 | found it |
| 03:12.11 | MINIMAN10000 | ah cool thanks for the help |
| 03:12.56 | MINIMAN10000 | drives me nuts that in order to create a unit you have to create a actor and then you have to create a event on that actor, it seems so counter intuitive to have to work backwards through the stack in order to get the end product |
| 03:18.27 | MINIMAN10000 | I wonder if you could make a team vs team where your sending units hero line wars style, hide the half of the units on the side of the map you arn't looking at in order to double the framerate |
| 03:22.48 | temhawk | I don't think that would help much since SCII already optimizes performance when units are not on-screen |
| 03:24.37 | temhawk | if it were that simple I think SCII would already natively do that. so either it's that simple and SCII already does it (which is why there's a framerate boost when you look away from a lot of units) or it's not that simple |
| 03:35.23 | MINIMAN10000 | in fps. No units 80, 8000 units 10, 16000 units 3,hide all 5, but i can't look away from all the units so i guess your right |

| 21:39.47 | temhawk | what's the best way to force a localized text entry to load? for example, I wrote a function to convert a color to text using a localized preset name if possible, and I want to use PresetValue/Name/lib_Ntve_0BE57840 for "Light Blue". by default that doesn't work, but if I create a new unit type and change its name to PresetValue/Name/lib_Ntve_0BE57840, then my function can use this text object |
| 21:41.41 | temhawk | is there a better way to do this than creating dummy objects in the data module? |
