Bounce!

Bounce!

Does anyone know how to make a bounce code? Like if you run into a unit/doodad/item/destructible/wall at 45º North-West than you bounce 45º Sounth-West.. Ok, can someone make this for mme, and everyone else who would like a bounce? Is it possible? How about adding all angles?

If you've ever played a maze game you can slide on ice. I plan to have this sliding triger in my map but having a bounce would be so awsome and actually would complete my ideal map. Think of the possibilities and please, somebody help!

The problem is that for a bounce you need a bouncing object with movement direction (that's not the problem) and the angle of the static object at the position of the bounce. That's a bigger problem, because how do you want to get this from a destructible or even a unit? That's difficult. You need a form as simple as possible for collision object, e.g. a circle or even better a rect.
The rest are more or less simple mathematics.

Quite simple... If you ignore, what Waldbär said.
In that case, you will get your code tomorrow.
Else... Well, I would not know how to do that as modell geometrics are not used in Warcraft 3.
(collision size forms a circle for any widget)

or rectangles, with rects ^^

I never encountered such ones. But as you say they exist...

If I got the mathematics right, this should work.
As I am not horribly good in such stuff, it may not work. ^^
Report errors to me.

Trigger "Bounce":

postscript:
Code was horribly wrong (sometimes I feel very stupid ^^) and I worked it over.
I hope, it works now.

rects... aka regions in GUI

just use A Unit Enters a Rect

(TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple)

bah... I didn't understand anything of your code... I thought you weren't so good in mathematics...

I still don't know the REAL function for Cos and ACos besides comparing size/angle.

Hä?
Did you encounter some odd effect?
Or... No effect?
Or what is it, that you are trying to tell me?

(to be sure: I do not care even a little bit, if these terms are right while the effect looks like it is supposed to do)

Ahn.. nothing.. sorry... I was trying to understand this code in instead of just copy and try...

(maybe my English is horrible )
