Import Necrotic Beam in your map!
  1. Allow creation of unknown variables - (Understand that this is absolutely nessesary)
    Under Preferences, make sure you have "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data" checked.

  2. Copy Paste the Necrotic Beam folder into your trigger editor

  3. Copy Paste the "Required" folder containing Mouse Utilities by Mypad & LSE (Line Segment Enumeration) by Icemanbo

  4. Copy the Necrotic Beam Ability from Object Editor, and set it to the variable "EyBe_Config_Ability[0]" located at the top of Necrotic Beam Config

  5. Copy the Slow Ability & Slowed Buff from Object Editor, and set it to the variable "EyBe_Config_Ability[1]" located at the top of Necrotic Beam Config to the Slow Ability

  6. Copy the Universal Dummy Unit from Object Editor, and set it to the variable "EyBe_Config_D_Type" located at the top of Necrotic Beam Config



Without these folks this wouldn't be possible.

C.B.King - The one who requested this type of spell, and that I thought was already being helped but due to a social faux pas on my part, I essentially killed his thread, so out of pure social anxiety and curiosity I managed to make this spell

Pyrogasm - Helped me fine tune everything & a fine teacher of the arcane arts of triggers.
Additional Mention: Dragged me kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of JASS & Lua.

AutisticTenacity - Spoon-fed me the Enum Beam filtering for the damage portion allowing for a smooth rectangle shape to the beam!

MyPad - Fine tuning and ensuring I'm not serving up a pile of slop to the spell section.
Additional Mention: allowing me to use his wonderful resource [vJASS] - [Snippet] Mouse Utility

Majistey - Bug report!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Release Ver.Jovial Jerboa 2021-09- 30:03:19-AM PST

Minor:
- changed dummy creation, rather than letting it float in abyss it simply spawns one upon cast and sets it's expiration timer to the casting duration.

Major
- Config dummy creation was not set by a variable which caused bad things to happen!(Thanks Gnuoy!)

Previous changelog
Release Ver. Impertinent Imbis 2020-02- 12:06-PM PST

Minor:
- Added MouseX/Y_Last, allowing the beam to continue to move to the mouses last quantifiable location before it slips into the void that is the UI part of the screen, ne'er to be seen again by mortal eyes.
(Thanks to Xorkatoss!)
- Fixed bug where Dummy Unit was being referred as (Last Created Unit) during periodic!
- Dummy changes owner during Periodic to ensure any damage related debuffs are credited to owner of caster. (Thanks Icemanbo & Pyrogasm!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Release Ver. Honest Honey-Bee 2019-12-31 8:57AM PST
Minor:
- Replaced dummy created each tick to a single neutral passive dummy created along with the config
- fixed an issue that was calculating the enumeration to be limited to the indication offset instead of the full 1000 default range.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Release Ver. Garish Gharial - 2019-12-30 8:25PM PST
Major
- Outsourced math logic to Icemanbo's wonderful system (Link at site)
Minor, Took more of Icemanbo's advice
- Single Dummy on each tick of damage
- Indexed Owner
- Added temp variables for cleaner triggers
- Set Index of various leveled variables to start at 1 instead of 0, effectively reversing the previous version's changes.
- added immolation effect to buff slow

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Release Ver. Felonious Frigatebird - 2019-12-22 12:02PM PST

- Fixed bug (Thanks to Majistey) where I didn't set the array to 0 instead of 1 resulting in the mouse control being lost at levels higher than 2.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Release Ver. Eerie Earwig - 2019-12-13 2:46AM PST

- Added Lightning Configuration

----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Changed "If duration > less or Equal to 0.00" to "if duration > Periodic"
- Removed some useless arrays from some of the config variables.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Release Ver. Cautious Canary - 2019-12-08 - 11:03PM PST

- Added [Snippet] Mouse Utilities by Mypad, from Pyrogasm's suggestion.

I see that autistic tenacity is something you got from trying not to get killed by these two languages.
Apart from that, the spell looks dope.
I see everything but JASS in there if you know what I mean, custom scripts don't count :p
The JASS tag is confusing xd

A cool spell. :)
  • Maybe one static dummy unit can be used instead of creating one per cast: Single Target Spell for Multiple Units
  • You might consider using Line Segment Enumeration .v2.1a to outsource math logics
  • Level of the ability when casted should be indexed, too, as it's relevant for dealing demage etc. The power/behaviour of spell could change in middle, if level of the ability gets changed somehow for the unit.
  • OwnerOfCaster could be indexed to reduce repetitive function calls in loop.
  • Level configs could just start at "1", it's bit more intuitive imo, and all the -1 calculations would not be needed in cast trigger.
  • Some more temp variables would improve readability a bit and might be even a bit more performant. For example "((Level of EyBe_Config_Ability[0] for EyBe_Caster[EyBe_Index]) - 1)]" is used often in cast trigger or "PickedUnit/LastCreatedUnit/LastCreatedSpecialEffect" in loop trigger.

Excellent suggestions, I will get started asap!

Edit:
>Level of the ability when casted should be indexed, too, as it's relevant for dealing demage etc. The power/behaviour of spell could change in middle, if level of the ability gets changed somehow for the unit.
Skipping this since all the stats are calculated at cast

Edit2: Changes made, thanks @IcemanBo!
(let me know if I butchered something ham-handed like...)

There are two lines computing the ability level anew during a loop run:

Set EyBe_UnitC_Angle[EyBe_Loop] = (EyBe_UnitC_Angle[EyBe_Loop] + EyBe_Config_Speed[(Level of EyBe_Config_Ability[0] for EyBe_Caster[EyBe_Loop])]
Set EyBe_UnitC_Angle[EyBe_Loop] = (EyBe_UnitC_Angle[EyBe_Loop] - EyBe_Config_Speed[(Level of EyBe_Config_Ability[0] for EyBe_Caster[EyBe_Loop])])​

that's why maybe the level can be indexed, so it stays stable for one instance.

There's now not one dummy per cast, but it's probably even possible to use only one dummy caster for all instances and for all casts. One dummy that is never removed, but just fields, or owner of dummy (player) is adapted to match one instance's needs.

Btw, I'm not really sure yet :D , but I feel maybe those lines in loop might be shortened, at the comment with "err Mathematics" and the many if-then-else statements, where sometimes 360° is added.. what do they do?

It's a sequence of angle operations to determine if the caster needs to turn right or left to most quickly face in the direction of the mouse cursor. A couple angles have to be in the -180 to 180 range so you can't just modulo them. The last two ifs could be combined, though, because the edge case where the angle is exactly 0 is unlikely ever to occur:
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions
    • If - Conditions
      • EyBe_Real[0] Greater than or equal to 0.00
    • Then - Actions
      • Set EyBe_UnitC_Angle[EyBe_Loop] = (EyBe_UnitC_Angle[EyBe_Loop] + EyBe_Config_Speed[(Level of EyBe_Config_Ability[0] for EyBe_Caster[EyBe_Loop])])
    • Else - Actions
      • Set EyBe_UnitC_Angle[EyBe_Loop] = (EyBe_UnitC_Angle[EyBe_Loop] - EyBe_Config_Speed[(Level of EyBe_Config_Ability[0] for EyBe_Caster[EyBe_Loop])])

A little extra speed is perfectly fine if it means one less variable

Ah, that does sound interesting, I'll try and get that done.

>Btw, I'm not really sure yet :D , but I feel maybe those lines in loop might be shortened, at the comment with "err Mathematics" and the many if-then-else statements, where sometimes 360° is added.. what do they do?
As Pyrogasm says, at my early versions the beam could not do a full rotation without doing some divination by entra- err, mathematics.

Right, I'll get started

Thank you both for your help!

Edit:
@IcemanBo
On the subject of one dummy, assuming I create a single dummy via the config, what about multiple instances, is it just changing the owner each time, or keeping it neutral, and in that case am I needing to grant visibility modifiers for neutral passive so the dummy can see the target to cast?

What about simply keeping it as neutral passive?
My worry is visibility, if the dummy can't see the target it won't cast it, but if I give it vision radius it will grant vision to the caster for greater a distance than the spell accounts for, while keeping it neutral and giving it a modest vision radius will allow it to cast and avoid giving the player and further advantage.
Do you agree?

I think Pyro is correct.

About changing owner.. in this specific case maybe it doesn't matter much I'm not sure. But in general I believe it's better if the dummy gets the owner of casting unit during acting, as maybe when the dummy kills or damaging a unit. Some other user triggers can react more correctly, when they know the owner of cast/damage source instead of only knowing passive player.

ahh very nice system! extra points for being GUI too ;)

I didn't read all of the code but after a quick look everything seems to be fine.


Not sure if this has been mentioned before:
A small detail, when checking for mouse X/Y if the mouse is on the UI then it returns 0.00 values.

When that happens the beam is always redirected to that point:

An easy fix would be to just check if mouse x/y is 0.00 and then don't move the beam.

Hey Devalut, first off insanely amazing spell, you honestly killed it. Secondly, I'd like to know if there is a way to make this deal the damage it does, but also heal the caster for said damage at the same time? Kind of like a pseudo "Life Steal" of sorts.

@Devalut , hello, do you know how can i add some lifesteal to this? by lifesteal i mean to heal himself for like 10x spell level per second or something like that, to not be an instant heal but per second, i want to use this for ilidan's eye beam, i run a hero def type of map where i make classes from wow and some that are just ideas and now i am making the demon hunter class and the 2 specs and one custom third spec.(Havoc,Vengeance,Tormentor)
And if you have an earlier version of the spell? As 1.28.5 can't open this..

Pretty much the same as the screenshot a few posts up above.
upload_2020-12-21_16-23-32.png

upload_2020-12-21_16-24-48.png


Finally since the damage occurs 4 times a second (based on the tick rate (default 0.25)) you can multiply the heal amount by the tick rate:

Then place it snuggly near where damage is dealt:

Hello, first i would like to say that this is a very cool spell =)

However, i got a problem, i followed the instructions to implement this to my map step by step and everything seems to be functioning properly except one thing
And that thing is the lightning effect, it disappears right away and does not last as long as it should, but the damage and duration and everything else is working just fine

What could be the cause?
Would like to get this to work since its such a fantastic spell =)

I personally have no idea, i just followed the steps Delavut has mentioned on how to implement the skill and so i did follow them and so i managed to successfully implement the spell in my map. Enable variables, make sure you coppy dummies, spell in obj editor, copy triggers and then look at the triggers if they are the same as the delavut's map, usually when i coppy trigger from some other map for custom spell, there are certain triggers that do not get copied the same way such as "condition: spell being cast equal to "xxx"" so you have to change that to match.

Yeah i have obviously missed something or else it would work, but theres so much code it would take forever to compare everything
But as i said, i followed every step and i have copied the abilitys and the dummy unit and all of those things and i have made the necessary changes in the trigger aswell

It seems like theres a change to be made that is not included in the How to guide and i'm hoping its something simple, do you maybe remember if you had to change something that was not included in the guide? Because it feels wierd if some can implement it with the guide and some others cant :S

I am pretty sure that i changed few things that werent correct when i looked upon both original and the coppied triggers however i cannot remember which ones because it was 2 months ago. As i said it usually is the condition, atleast for me always when i try to import some custom spell, the triggers that are RELATED to the object editor spell, dummy and etc are always incorrect so you have to replace them with the correct ones.

Is it working in the test map when you test it?

Try putting in the units, buff, spell, and then the required resources (I.e. Mypad's Mouse Util & Icemanbo's line enumeration) first and then adding in the Necrotic Trigger folder.
Also ensure Instruction #1 is done.

Yes it is working in the test map but i have unfortunately not found an explanation to why only the lightning effects malfuntions after i have imported everything into my map, i'll probably circle back to this later at some point and try again

And yes, Instruction #1 is done aswell

Otherwise, fantastic spell =)

I'm still sorry to hear that it is not working for you.
Once you have time try my suggestion from my previous post.

Hmmm, is the guard tower a special effect or a full blown unit?
Secondly what was the order in which you imported? (i.e. did you copy over the"NecroticBeam" folder or the "Required"folder?
I want to try and recreate this bug.

If all else fails you can send me your map file via private message so I can look at it internally.

it creates a full blown unit and moves that unit around. if i attack it, it recreates it at same hp. if i kill it then it doesn't respawn.

I copied it in the same order as the install guide. I hate to trouble you but if you want to look at the map here it is, the trigger is under folder Extra -> Imported Spells -> Necrotic Beam: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-GmrLH2xgdzY_QrGTNeVIhZ7zR2yKw0O/view?usp=sharing
