Map DevelopmentTalk about your developing projects. Release beta tests and get useful feedback before the final release. Maps should be attached to your post.
I am going to produce a map again which as a matter of course is going to be an escape map again.
I'd like to make it 96 x 96 for now, after the map is released I am always able to update and enlarge it.
The escape is going to be called Thunder Escape which will have an story. Also I am going to split it into 3 Stages.
Here is the Main Story for Stage 1:
Dawrves, living deep in the Mountains of Tan'drem are surprisingly attacked by a horde of demons willing to take over their region.
Due to their enormous number, the Dwarves are forced to get to the Shrine of Rak'nem, to call Rak'nem, the envoy of Thor the Thundergod, for help.
Unfortunately, the path to that Shrine is overwhelmed with enemies and directly leads into a horde of those demons.
A twist of fate which decides whether to live or to die...
As you can see from my other Map Tutorial Escape, I love escape possibilities which are different then usual ones.
This affects the map not to be boring and become hated map!
And here is the problem, where you can take part to solve it ...
I need ideas. A laaaawwt of ideas! As you can infer from the name of this project, I need escape possibilities based on Lightning.
For the other stages, I haven't planned anything serious yet, still it would also be nice and helpful for me to give me some other ideas (maybe based on demonic escape possibilities).
I'd be pleased if you could add a picture from your idea to your reply so that I can better understand what you mean ;)
Accepted ideas will be paid with reputation for the inventors and given proper credits in the Map!
Depending on the amount of escape possibilities coming through into my map, this project is going to become reality!

I got one small idea, which is that you know hot the lightning never hits twice? Well...
Thats it :D To get through this part, you actually have to go hit by the lightning to be able to get through. But there are problems, you can't walk on that thing, nor that thingy, but you can walk on them if you already got hit by lightning :)

So if I understood you correctly - there is a place where lightning bolts fall down from heaven randomly every ... X seconds and you have to get hit by one of them to be "charged" and e.g. open a electricity-driven door or sth?
I think I keep that in mind :P
a place where thunder strikes at random times (some kinda warning is necessary) and u have to jump at that time (give them the ability when they enter the area). every enemy and player who isnt in air when the bolt strikes dies.

It was my plan to combine slide and jump anyway, so I think that I idea is not bad.
Ah! An escape map about lightning you love lightning no?
Anyway, some ideas:
Quote:
Electrical Redirection- You need to place some wards to redirect a source of lightning to another point. If you do that, the gate will open.
E.g. There is 1 lightning source and 1 lightning end point. You must place wards near the lightning source so that the lightning will flow to the ward, then you must place another ward near an already placed ward and it will flow to that wards... until the last ward is near an end point. There could be like 3 sources and 3 end points and you have only a certain amount of wards to place.
Lightning Defenses- You have to place some lightning reflecting shield things at a point to reflect the bolts of lightning shot out from some machines so you can pass through the lightning fences.
E.g. There are 2 lightning generators and you have to place the shields such that their next strike (maybe they strike once every 5 seconds) will be reflected to a lightning fence generator (destroy 1 of each lightning fence to disable lightning fence, so you need to think which one could be destroyed more easily). Once you clear all the lightning fences, you can move on.
Circle Dungeon- You're in a circular dungeon and being chased by some guards. Your job is to kill the guards using the electrical points near in the dungeon. You can connect all the points together to create an electric shock, killing anyone (even you) in contact with any of the "energy lines". Once you kill all the enemy, the gate shall open.
Good Luck :D
PS: I realised how JASS pwns, but how do you do that kind of knockback, since the TriggerSleepAction doesn't allow anything less than 0.21 or something, the knockback isn't smooth.

Hmm I think of this. Maybe I change some points in here, but if it's used you will gain credits for original idea.

I don't understand 100%. Could you somehow make a picture from your idea? (Maybe with Paint or sth, doesn't have to be Picasso-like)

Ok, its a horribly drawn diagram but it should do.
First, the legend:
Black Lines- Dungeon Walls
Blue Dots- Electric Points
Red Dots- Guards that will chase you
Gray Points- Possible Gate openings
Ok, first, your escapee will start somewhere random and guards will start chasing you. You will first use a skill on one of the electrical points and it will be the connected. When you next cast the skill, the next electric point will also be connected and a lightning effect will connect the electric point and the previously connected point. When you connect all the points, the lightning effects thing will kill anyone in contact with it (it will trigger about 0.5 seconds after you connect all the points) and when you kill all the guards, one of the gate openings open.

Maybe you could reduce the amount of guards :)
First of all thanks for bothering that. Now I understood what you mean. Mhm I think it is possible to make, however this is somehow wierd :x I won't say NO to it, but I will prefer the other possibilities at first :D thx again
If you want to keep to the nordic mythology then you could make something where you need to flee from the Fenris Wolf or something like that. And call the demons "Jætter".

Oh well I will think of names and such later xD I need some basic ideas first.
Ok everyone, I made some ideas become real ...
Poor, that you can't see how smooth I made it >.< and no, I am not gonna make a video out of it :D at least not yet!
What I ask you for is more ideas!
Please, give me some of your creativity and also tell me how you find the current options I made! :D
Looks awesome 0_0
Can't wait for it. No escape ideas for now, maybe sometime tomorrow :)
BTW, is the mountain king the only escaper you can choose? Can you choose other kinds of escapers? If so, what's the difference between each one? Maybe they could have different sfx/sound when they complete a escape/cast a spell.
Maybe you should make the runners have some battle cry or something when he/she completes a level :D

+rep for awesomeness (200th rep!)
Well, since the story is about dwarves chased away the model for the escaper will be dwarf - so mountain king :D I look for that later anyway. I now need about 10 - 15 options to be able to start the real map.
Thx for feedback. +rep for that (also some million times xD)
