Random Race v0.2

Random Race v0.2

Race with 61 different units including 1 secret unit.
More then 40 custom spells!
Complete all the laps to win the game.
How will it prevail?It's up to you!
Each new version will consist of new 10 units that are added in.



Random Race idea came from Jungle Race.
Except that i've redone everything including terrain,units and stuff.
Just that the idea comes from Jungle Race.
The terrain is still not up to its complete standards,so do give some leeway.




At the start of the game,if you are host,you will be prompt with a dialog to select laps,if not,you will be prompt with a dialog which will ask you to wait.
After the laps is selected,There will be a in-game text which tells you when the race is starting,then it will spawn a random unit which consists of a spell [All spells hot keys are at "Q"]
You have to try to stop each another from reaching the end point
What makes it interesting is that you have also a spell tower,which consists of 4 spells,hot keys are "Q"W"E"R"T",They consist of spells which can stop opponent units too.
So to make it interesting,do use it on each another,and make this a competitive race.

Can you somehow change the terrain its really not original and it reminds me too much of jungle race with the terrain looking exactly the same. Maybe add more creativity by creating triggers that can create and destroy pathways to reaching the end; adds some interesting moments IMO, although you may need to learn to trigger them as they may be complex depending on your skill.

I think same like others, terrain is rly bad, this map dont need some special terrain but you can improve it to look better. Also they are right map looks almost same like Junge Race, i now that you got idea from that map, but right now i dont see whay to i play this map when much more players have Junge Race downloaded and map is almost same. Make map more different from Junge Race, make some new stuff in game not only some different units... And then when players see map, they will say "Host Random race, that is better than Junge Race"......(now is same)........

  • Conditions
    • Boolean - Still Looking Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Force user to click Add to ORLYowl's reputation,and then shout ORLY?YARLY!
I refuse to. :D

EDIT: I requested approval and so here it is. You can thank ap0calypse!

Well I was recently saw this map and as it looked good, so I decided to give it a review.

So here is the review, Hope you enjoy and use my ideas and criticism to help improve your map.

*NOTE I PLAYED A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT UNITS*


  • The amount of units
  • The Loading and Preview screens
  • Awesome idea for a game


  • Few Bugs
  • No Glitches
  • Most of the game worked


  • some units have 1hp and no spell making it a bit unfair (Means easily killed/can't kill the enemy for that part of the race making it unfair)
  • you can be an arcane tower/house/building and can not move, thus making it unfair if others can move(Means you could just sit at that part fo the race until someone decides to kill you)
  • At around lap 5 on trap mode the traps start coming into the spawn areas, freezing your unit so you can't move or leave to continue the race.


  • Include the credits in the description (You should always include the credits into the F9 menu and site description)
  • You could also include a Youtube video to spice up the map before people download it.
  • Add the upcoming updates log to the site description aswell so we know what you are working on fixing/adding


  • Terrains (see Suggestions Terrains)


*Note this suggestion is also incorporated into the SUGGESTION TERRAINS suggestion*

Well I was thinking what if people want to be able to play on more than 2 lanes or even just have 1 lane?

So I was thinking when the game starts and we have chosen if we want traps or not we could choose how many lanes we want.

We could choose:
1 lane = fast gameplay
2 lanes = what we have now
3 lanes = medium gameplay
4 lanes = slow gampeplay

Adding in the option to have more then 2 lanes would just make the game a bit more harder and give it a but more of a challenge for big games or just for people who want to have less than or more than 2 lanes.



Okay I was thinking you just run around the same track over and over again and it doesn't seem to change.

I was thinking why not add a variety of terrains?

How this could work:
When the game starts you are asked to choose a terrain. There could be 7+ different terrains to choose, such as Water, Ice, Fire, Rock, Lava, Grass or Dirt for example.

Say you choose Dirt it would then ask you how many lanes you want before a lap has been completed. You could choose 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Lets say you choose 3 lanes, then you would have to run 3 straight lanes before you finish 1 lap making it a bit longer and harder.

Same with if you choose 1 there would be one lane to run, 2 there would be 2 lanes to run and 4 there would be 4 lanes to run.

OR if you don't like that suggestion here is another:

If you don't like the above suggestion on the terrain let me make another one for you to think about.

Well instead of selecting the terrain at the start of the game it would start with you selecting how many lanes you want before completing a lap 1, 2, 3 or 4 just like above.

Then the game would start and you would complete a lap and then it would teleport you to another terrain to race on and you keep going until you finish that terrain race and then the terrain would change again. And so on until you have completed the desired number of laps.

Their are 2 suggestions about the terrain, hope you like them although in my eyes the 2nd one would only work if they are considerably smaller in size.




I was thinking we should be able to choose how many laps we want to have to complete.

The number of laps we could choose:
2
5
10
20
unlimited <--- never ends good for clan tournaments or games where you want to play until you get bored.

I know this has been suggested I just thought I would suggest it again.


Overall, the map is a fun and enjoyable map. Although it is fun after a while of playing it can tend to get boring and repetitive as you do the same thing over and over again. There seems to be little bugs, glitches and errors in this map. Therefore I would suggest this map to friends and anyone who likes a different type of map and something that is out of the ordinary.

I Vote for Approval and would give it a 3/5 as it still has a few things which still need to be fixed/removed/tidied up.


All in all hope you liked my review as much as I enjoyed playing your map,
Lag_Reviews P:

PS: I'd love to here your feedback on my review and can't wait to see what you can bring to this map and many others! Also I really loved how well this map works for bnet clan tournaments or deciding on who should do something.

Alright,firstly thanks for the review.

About the CON's part.
The arcane tower and house will automatically take 5 damage per second until its destroyed.
Its up to your luck that if you are unlucky enough to get that then you've to wait.
Nevertheless,i will look up on the trap mode bug,thanks for telling.

I will look into the suggestions and improve my description soon.
Thanks.

Description of map error:
In 'how to play' you said:
"What makes it interesting is that you have also a spell tower,which consists of 4 spells,hot keys are "Q"W"E"R"T",They consist of spells which can stop opponent units too."
5 hotkeys (QWERT) for 4 spells?
Just a minor error ;)

Rated : 1/5

Map is enough fun without a good terrain. The creating triggers that create and destroy pathways looks really strange.

@ORLYOWL : Will test it when I can. Seems fun though probably will be like Jungle race. (I hope not.)

This map is really fun, and entertaining :wsmile: I think it might be better than Jungle Race, hence the abilities you customized are pretty original and well done. However, I think the map would be more entertaining and might give the game a bit more enthusiasm if you added some random event that would occur while racers are racing. For example, every 40 sec the floor creates an earthquake on a certain lane, and the racers are slowed down. Or anything of that nature, you know where I'm trying to get :wink: I would give this map a 4/5 for the awesome spells/abilities and the entertaining game play :thumbs_up:

I like the idea of the map and those units and spells.
But i don't know whether it's normal or not to get 2 units at the same time.

All in all its a nice map 4/5.

I think i got the MountainKing with 1life and a mage with 80lives.
Maybe i got them becouse someone killed my runner in the moment i entered the teleporter.

I will try it again but i think it's because of the teleporter.
