Hi everyone.
It's the first version of wcs_dalias function, you may already seen it in races but now i'll post it officialy here.
Few mounths ago i was writing an ability which would regenerate player's hp with time by pressing ability button. And i faced the problem: i need to make tones of same strings with only one difference: es_delayed 2, es_delayed 4, es_delayed 6....
I couldn't make: es_delayed 2 racealias_22
in racealias_22 call racealias_23
and in racealias_23 es_delayed 2 racealias_22 so it executes racealias_22 in cycle as many times as i set up.
The problem was: event_vars and server_vars are changed, and it executes alias, but if i regen hp, it regenerates hp not for me but for smbody else who used ultimate and in server_var(wcs_userid) now his userid. I think many of coders faced this problems.
I tried to avoid it until last race when coded aura. I also found out that in last few weeks there were many requests on poison, flying rocket effect, etc. they all require delayed execute. I don't think that they would love ot make custom commands for every skill they want to make like this only because there is no possibility to use it without making new command.
So i decided to make new command wcs_dalias, now i explain how this version works.
Restrictions: it can carry maximum up to 15 variables now.
Minuses: 1. If you set up only few variables, it will try anyway to get all 15 variables (a bit slows process).
2. Hard to understand.

HowTo:
First of all you should understand what it does, example (this skill was coded by Stinkyfax, and effects were made by Holliday):



Here is what you should understand:

es_xdelayed 1.7 wcs_dalias racealias_1p32 server_var(wcs_tmp2) server_var(wcs_tmp3) server_var(wcs_tmp4)

by typing this command you are saving variables for "racealias_1p32" after delay, and executes this alias.
Unfortunatly you have to set up all variables by wcs_tmp1....15 and work with them, a bit hard to remember which wcs_tmp* what means.

Here is the second example with unique effects by Holliday and codes by Stinkyfax, more extended and hard (for more advanced coders):




Another example:


As you see, it can be used for complex skills too.

wcs_dalias function was coded by Stinkyfax.

Installation: You will find instruction inside of the file.

Feedback is welcome.


Short INSTALLATION instructions for WCS 0.77:

INSERT into es_WCSultimates.txt:
es_xexists ex command wcs_dalias
  es es_xif (server_var(ex) = 0) then es_xregcmd wcs_dalias wcs/WCSultimates/wcs_dalias "Executes alias with delay without loosing data"

AFTER:
  if (server_var(ex) = 0) then es_xregcmd wcs_warden wcs/WCSultimates/wcs_warden "Warden, deals damage on nearby enemies"

INSERT:
In the total end of es_WCSultimates.txt   (after the last "}")

explain me more what you want with physpush, and why it should be stepped? Why not just physpush to the finish coordinates without steps?

bla bla bla, you told me it before. But what's the point of using delayed aliases for it? i don't see any reason for it.

did you check this race? if you did you would understand.

Yes i read the whole post. I see it can make you so it repeats in serval times? Is that right? I mean so it can repeat the same 2 race alias in mayby 5 times.

But i really dont know how it should work. I know i should use
wcs_dalias <the racealias> then something i dont know what is.

so if its like a alias where its like Invis to Visibel and back. Its like this?:
es_dealyed 2 wcs_dalias racealias_invis server_var(wcs_userid) server_var(wcs_invis)
wcs_dalias racealias_visibel server_var(wcs_userid)
? would that mayby work?

I finally got it ( i think ) i just gonna post something whit it.


This would work right? Just something i made. It was just to test.

ok here is a noob question but where at in the ultimates file do you put it. Should it be the last thing in the file ?
