Hero Contest #2 - HQ Hero

Anachron · Jun 30, 2009

Can't I submit it and get -points because of being to late?
I really would like to finish to the end of the 1st or the 2nd.

Martin Barbov · Jun 30, 2009

Update

I realized my submission post was too large so I hide everything.
Also I fixed some typos. I know it's just the post but consider the story part of the hero's theme(which is judged).

Today I'm finishing school so I might be able to make a final update.

Good Luck to all.

Deuterium · Jun 30, 2009

So today's last day eh?

Anachron · Jun 30, 2009

Yeah.. And I guess I will not be able to finish my hero

Billy the Cat · Jun 30, 2009

Is it July 01 there?

Deuterium · Jun 30, 2009

Yupp July one, and considering the GMT time, there's like umm... 13:20 hours

Anachron · Jun 30, 2009

I hope I can finish it just in time or atleast submit it after the time and get -points for that.

Billy the Cat · Jun 30, 2009

Huh July 01...
Am I behind? June 30th here and 11:53 AM

Kingz · Jun 30, 2009

It finishes on 1st July in 23:59

Billy the Cat · Jun 30, 2009

So I do have about 1 1/2 day right?

Deuterium · Jun 30, 2009

Direfury · Jun 30, 2009

Damnable passive ability seemed to disappear after returning to the heroes normal form from his ultimate ability, i'm going to have to replace it.

except that it has alot of leaks, the problem is that he doesnt do his animation.

Direfury · Jun 30, 2009

...Try putting the Play Animation order at the top of the list?

Metamorphosis based skill and Spell Book passive?

Burrow and first, the NEW Orb of Lightning ability, and then the Orb of Darkness ability. I wanted to give the hero an ability that slows and damages a specific target, when the icon didn't show up and the effect stopped working, I switched that idea to summoning something upon killing the target of an attack, using a cooldown on the Passive to keep you from massing summons, of course.

Still doesnt work

, and is there a way to like sorta pause the unit but he should still be able to play animations. (Like I dont want him to run around and attack other units or even run around at all, and I whouldnt want him to do more than 1 attack animation (attack slam that I told him to do via triggers)

Direfury · Jun 30, 2009

Well, it's the only method I ever really use to 'pause' a unit without actually pausing it, but I simply have it change ownership to Neutral Passive until the anim is done.

Anachron · Jun 30, 2009

Auch!! GUI and leaks. Very bad.

Sabelion · Jun 30, 2009

Everything I make leaks + is not MUI.

YEEEEEEEESSSS MY ANIMATION WORK

.

Beautifull.

I think it was because I changed the spell in object editor to do the animation, only problem now is that he does 1 and a half hit and that is a half to much.

Lol now my graveyard spell wont spawn skeletons for every unit that dies around it.

Somebody help me with that?

Would it be possible to give all units in the area a buff (aura) and when they die a skeleton spawns? Checking if they have the buff.

Callahan · Jun 30, 2009

You can pause unit by using 'Unit - Pause unit' action you can make a paused unit play animation with trigger.And you should pause it.
'Wait' doesn't work inside a if then else
Instead of using 'set life of unit' use 'UNit - Damage target'
There's no point of creating variable if you don't remove them after.

-Berz- · Jun 30, 2009

@ Sabelion, A little tip, if you can't get the animation to work, try with rare animation ^^

~Berz

Mage_Goo · Jun 30, 2009

Any time left?
I want to update my Hero, so, can anybody tell me how much the time left?

Edit:
-BerZeKeR-, you must post you submission [thread=131809]here[/thread], or it won't count as submission.

Palaslayer · Jun 30, 2009

ok, i am done. uses paladons general systems.

credits to paladon for teaching me and to that one who made the model (in the map, i cant spell him).

heres the link

hope you like it.

plz tell me if you find bugs and such.

Sabelion · Jun 30, 2009

Oh fck I forgot to remove all my leaks before I posted my hero :/.

Well I'll start removing them soon and then update my post.

-JonNny · Jun 30, 2009

GTM 13:44 now
so we got 1 day and 11:15 hours left or ?
i hope, if not i wont get finished ^,^

after thinking for ages ive finally came to an ultimate idea
The Magma Spirit will release its Dark side which will fight for your hero. This Dusky soul will take any damage of the Magme Spirit and protects him with that.
And the highlight will be a special system im working on
it will be a custom Attack system
im using AttackDummies to take an attack and create own projectiles to customize the whole projectile / projectiles and add additional effect
im not sure which effect it will get, maybe that each unit will get weakened if the Summons Projectile passes it on its way to the target
ill guess it will get 2 projectiles ;D look kewl

Sounds good. I have a bit more as a day left, and I meet my gf today. Horray. But sadly, I think I won't be able to finish it at time. Did you play my hero?

Deuterium · Jun 30, 2009

Oh I was wondering who's missing in the submission thread, -JonNny

Anachron · Jun 30, 2009

I am, goddamnit, but nobody likes meh

[/truth]

xD.Schurke · Jun 30, 2009

Billy the Cat · Jun 30, 2009

How many contestants do we have? Doesn't matter since I am in to win this anyway!

Gilles · Jun 30, 2009

Lots, this is good. : )

xD.Schurke · Jun 30, 2009

yeah thats good... but the ones rating it won't have fun

-Berz- · Jun 30, 2009

Shi*, I forgot to mention something in some tooltip :<

busterkomo · Jun 30, 2009

And why would that be?

Kingz · Jun 30, 2009

Cause you will have a lot of submisions to check?

We all know what happened to S&S #18 mini contest, and we hope it won't happen again.
I think most of people there won't participate in a S&S contest ever again

Still good luck to you hvo, and i hope you will have time to quickly judge every submision

Kwah · Jun 30, 2009

I'm afriad we don't all know.

If it was just late . . . deal with it.

Kingz · Jun 30, 2009

It was ~4 months late with the judging.
On the end we didn't even get the scoring, only Eccho said that xD.Schurke won and that he ain't releasing the scores, if someone wants to know the scores he should ask him(i think he said that, but i can't find the thread).

So it was a quite failure.
First we loss one judge, then the other judge was apointed, the other judge was bussy, we waited ~3-4 months for ~21 submision, each having 2 spells which equals ~42 spells.
That worries me

EDIT:
Counted the submisions, there are about ~30 submisions.
Even if half is poor quality that leaves 15 * 4 spells == 60 spells.
Even more than the S&S.
So i only hope that the judge won't get overwhelmed

Palaslayer · Jun 30, 2009

see ya in a year ^^

xD.Schurke · Jun 30, 2009

I just gave some money to Eccho to win that S&S ....

Kwah · Jun 30, 2009

Being late is not a problem. As long as they are judged 'tis quality that matters.

That is all i meant.

Not correct.

according to my calculations it should be 5.15 hours left at the time of writing.
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

check that for reference.

HailFireer · Jun 30, 2009

I said gmt + 1
That is one hour more then normal GMT. That means its 4 hours and something. Not 5.

I repeat, EVERYONE have the same deadline, no matter their current timezone.

edit: and hell, lol. It's a whole day left <_<

It ends tomorrow at 11:59 pm.

So that makes it uh..
29 hours and 10 minutes.

HailFireer · Jun 30, 2009

lol. Rly? Didnt saw

12 pm, what timezone?

Oh, and that thing is not correct. I am GMT + 1 and its 8:59 here. Not 7:59
They didnt change to summer time counting.

Gilles · Jun 30, 2009

Maps take longer to judge, especially if they need to be played on Battle.net.
