Teleportation



Download Here

I just wanted to share this. It's really nice in that it uses something like 14 triggers for Player 1, though that should be incresed for speed with a few tiggers being copy stacked (see below for details)

Triggers are only done for Player 1 but can easily be duplicated in current versions of Scmdraft2 / Notepad.

A zergling on a "miniature map" decides where you will teleport, you burrow to teleport there. Currently the ability is given a cooldown of about 2 seconds.

To optimize speed, two triggers can be copy-stacked 6 times each in addition to the current single instances. In this map the static grid has an 8x8 resolution equally distributed around the map. The number of copy-stack triggers would always be [Dimesion - 1] for the system to always go in 1 hypercycle.
The triggers I refer to above are:

Haha - I can use this for teleport "slow" carrier to any part of map:)

Has anyone thought of layering multiple selections to 'zoom' in on a specific spot? Wonder how well that would work as an all-range selection system...

This looks very similar to projectile plotter. :ermm:

Yeah, but I haven't thought of any practical use for it.

I havent seen this projectile plotter, sorry
Anyways i'm not claiming to have made anything particularly original, but I thought it was really nice and efficient, probably best of arena type maps where terrain is not an issue and unit use is okay, as thats the one thing this system is guilty of.

Current map stats:
Triggers: 13
5 global triggers (3 of which are hypers)
8 player 1 triggers (so 8 triggers added per extra player you want)
Locations: 8
2 shared locations
6 player specific locations (so 6 triggers added per extra player you want)
Units: 83
64 shared units (static grid of burrowed zerglings)
16 player-specific missile turrets per player
1 player-specific zergling to control teleportation
1 player-specific other ground unit (could be also a neutral zergling actually) to check for burrowed status
1 player-specific character of any type who gets teleported
Total 19 units per player to be added.

Player-Resource Chart
# of Players ---- Triggers ---- Locations ---- Units
------ 1 ---------------- 13 ------------- 8 ------------- 83 --
------ 2 ---------------- 21 ------------- 14 ----------- 102 -
------ 3 ---------------- 29 ------------- 20 ----------- 121 -
------ 4 ---------------- 37 ------------- 26 ----------- 140 -
------ 5 ---------------- 45 ------------- 32 ----------- 159 -
------ 6 ---------------- 53 ------------- 38 ----------- 178 -
------ 7 ---------------- 61 ------------- 44 ----------- 197 -
------ 8 ---------------- 69 ------------- 50 ----------- 216 -

I was considering using something like that for another Cannonballz map awhile ago, actually.



Anyone even still remember that map? I think I lost my copy of it...

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.
