Hey,

I don't know if this request is possible to do but what I do know is that this request needs very good skills with coding and mathematics(which I definitely don't have). The hardest part is to deal damage to the specific area.

What I want from you is that you create the shape with 'lightnings' and after 3 seconds you deal damage to all units inside that shape. When that is done I can do the rest(create the boss ideas for the shapes, do some twists and add the whole thing to the campaign itself). I definitely don't need any fancy superb already created MUI spells here. Just the shapes and damages.

I will use these shapes for boss fights and hero spells for The Chosen Ones campaign.

I have attached picture what shapes I need. Here us a little explanation about each shape.

Star - The boss is in the middle of the star.
Double Triangle - The boss is between the two triangles.
Triangle(forward) - The boss looks somewhere and casts the triangle forward.
Six corner - The boss is in the middle.
Triangle - The boss is in the middle.
10 Corner - The boss is in the middle.

What I would like is that the code is done with the basic GUI so that I can make future changes and add my own part to it. I really hope that's possible. I've attached test map also to this post where you can start your job.

Thank you before hand. Rep and credits for the helper.

Yes, but it is JASS. I want simple GUI code here so that I can actually do something with these shapes. Like this:

  • STAR
    • Events
      • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 1 as An exact match
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • -------- Create the lightnings --------
      • Wait 3.00 seconds
      • -------- Deal damage here to the units inside the shape --------
      • Wait 1.00 seconds
      • -------- Remove all lightnings --------
      • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)
I don't need any 'systems' here.

I did the triangle, tell me what you think.

I can do all the other shapes based off of this one.

EDIT: I forgot to say, it's 1 cast at a time atm, if you need it to be more than 1 cast at a time I can do it too but it takes more work.

EDIT2: Found a bug working on triangle #2, will b fixed next update in an bit.

No problem at all! In fact, I enjoyed doing a little geometry, it refreshed my memory about a few formulas :).

If you find any bug or need changes, or want new shapes feel free to ask.

Also I wanted to know if it was ok if I posted your request in my workshop thread (to get it started, it's dead atm lol).

And on a third note if you know any terrainers I would rly love some help!
And of course I can return the favor through GUI or photoshop.
