wow, Torchlight!!!

Yeahhh it's awesome isn't it ??

Moyack its nice to see you. I suppose. Your submission looks pretty good. I like the effect of the faded Firelord. I was hoping that you were going to detail the "evasion" a little more but you don't really notice in normal circumstances whether lethal damage ~can~ be evaded. If you kill the unit with 600 damage or something though the unit will still die, because a dead unit cannot be revived simply by adding hit points. Unfortunately.

In fact, the evasion does not work at all. Instead of EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED you use EVENT_UNIT_ATTACKED. That's funny. You must've typed this up in a hurry. If you change it the evasion seems to work properly, but lethal damage still isn't prevented.

In cases where the damage amount exceeds the unit's life capacity, you'll need to fiddle with the BonusMod library by EarthFury I believe. If the damage is still within the unit's life amount then you simply need to adjust the unit's life before hand. The problem when you fiddle around in these areas is that you realize 0-second timers aren't so instant.

Yes, you're right, I did it in a hurry, and taking into account that I haven't coded spells since... 2009? well, I can say I haven't forgotten all of the stuff related with WC3 modding

And your suggestion are good, I'll do my update of this spell using something I did... in 2008 and it will really improve the damage detection in this spell.

Thanks for you comments and support.

Shadow armor was one of my favorite abilities of the Destroyer... and your recreation of it looks really cool... ^_^

Man, it's one of my favorites too, I enjoy Torchlight as you do

Woah I love Moyack's spell OoOo

Thanks

The_Reborn_Devil said:
To prevent death when the attack is fatal just add the ability 'Invu' to the unit in the event and then run a 0 second timer and remove the ability when the timer expires. Problem solved

I have another option, let me try it first if it works, but thanks for your suggestion

rysnt11 · May 31, 2011

Is the enroll is still open?
Hmm...
I wanna join..
And is alright if i copy the spell from dota?
The fun hero,actually

Bribe · May 31, 2011

I was hoping to inspire a little more effort than a simple DotA rip off. Don't you play any other games?

rysnt11 · May 31, 2011

Yeah, i almost play all the game on ps 1, and some on ps2
about the dota rips, did you know there is a dota fun version?
but, after see your explanation up there, i decided to create suikoden 2 spell , where is the unicorn and a hypogrph combine their strenght to kill an enemy
How 'bout that?

-Berz- · May 31, 2011

GREAT! GREAT! JUST FUCKING GREAT! //CAPS

We got power cut, now half of the progress is gone, good thing is that I submitted my code here and I should be able to remake it without any major problems.

Bribe · May 31, 2011

Some of my best projects were ones I lost entirely because of computer glitches and then rebuilt twice as good the second time.

rysnt11 · May 31, 2011

Okay, i'll drop the suikoden 2, i'll make the skill from god of war 1, hades army
Wait for my wip

Adiktuz · May 31, 2011

ooh... Kratos' Hades army...

baassee · May 31, 2011

Bribe do you categorize HON/LOL spells in the "Dota originality" category?

rysnt11 · May 31, 2011

Yap, something like the locust swarm, but with triggered movement

Bribe · May 31, 2011

baassee said:

I'm not too concerned. If it executes well that's the absolute most important thing. I'd prefer something that's never been done before in wc3.

@moyack

There are a few major improvements that can be done but either way it looks awesome!

Sorry, I miss your post

Yes, I realized that and I'm doing my fixes. Remember I haven't coded a spell since 2009.... and I'm rusty

Skycraft · May 31, 2011

I shall watch this and maybe join if I ever do something with my spare time... productive, that is.

busterkomo · May 31, 2011

I might make gravity well from Bioshock 2.

-Berz- · May 31, 2011

OK, fixed pretty much everything considering the trigger by now.

Here this is how it looks

-Berz- · May 31, 2011

Heh

anyway guys... is it possible to get to the rawcode of some ability, but not just ability rawcode like 'A003' but deeper in to the values, like stun duration.

Trough GUI? Or is it hardcoded?

I see, there are DOTA spells as well that haven't been done here

(except in DOTA I guess, yes I'm stupid)

No worries

Still you're one that made the dot spell tutorial over at WC3C that taught me the real basics in vJASS aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand did I mention that you're moyack? The name should speak for itself. Really.

Adiktuz · May 31, 2011

@-Berz-: I don't think so...

waiting to see the Hades Army spell... haha...

you could save the stun duration for every spell (will be hard with passive bash)
or check if the unit still has stun buff
or trigger the stun yourself

-Berz- · May 31, 2011

Ahh... Yeah it could be triggered, but still default stun/slow is just fine, you just need to modify values in OE.

Edit: I'm using way outdated Jasscraft and I found this function...

JASS:

native GetAbilityEffectById         takes integer abilityId, effecttype t, integer index returns string

, this could work in GUI using custom scripts right?

or

JASS:

function CasterUseAbilityStatic takes player owner, string modelpath, integer abilityid, real duration, real x, real y returns unit
    return CasterUseAbilityLevelStatic(owner,modelpath,abilityid,1,duration,x,y)
endfunction

No need for custom script, it's available in GUI directly. It only can access the Art string data from an ability, though. That said, you can co-opt an unused effect string as a place for you to re-list data, using String to Real/Integer conversion, for a slightly easier way to associate certain values with abilities than by listing them in an array...

Those aren't natives, those aren't even in Blizzard.j. What are they?

I'm against really skilled competition!
I have a feeling I'll lose...

But oh well, great spells everyone! Especially to moyackx!

1. I'm pretty sure there isn't any function like that by default (in GUI)

2. I have no idea, I just copied the text from JassCraft.

Weep · Jun 2, 2011

-Berz- said:

It is a string function named Game - Ability Effect Art Path, eg:

Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Art path of Acid Bomb Missile Art (index 0))

I am not using any World Editor enhancements or modifications.

Have fun. :grin:

-Berz- · Jun 2, 2011

Oh... I'm not sure this would help me in any way :< I thought that it gets into the spell value x)

But still good to know, you never know when it could come in handy.

Garfield1337 · Jun 3, 2011

Here's another WiP. I have reworked the whole spell several times because i've always found some other, more efficient, way. Thus i haven't really progressed visually since my last WiP. I haven't finished the effect on enemies yet.

rysnt11 · Jun 3, 2011

I almost done the hades army, it still needs some optimiztion to prevent memory leaks...
I think, i'll post a wip this noon (at 5-6 pm, gmt + 7)...

Klingo · Jun 3, 2011

Well guys, I started and I have a problem with my trigger... I don't know if it's legal to help each other but, if you guys can, it will be appreciate if you can't, it will do a bugged WIP ^^. It's MUI but it lag alot when multiple casting, so if you guys can help on that too, it would be awesume.
Edit: Suggestion to how to improve would be kewl.

it will do a bugged WIP ^^. It's MUI but it lag alot when multiple casting, so if you guys can help on that too, it would be awesume.

...

If - Conditions

PgCurrentAOE[Pg] Greater than or equal to PgMaxAOE[Pg]

Then - Actions

Unit Group - Add all units of PgDummyGroup[Pg] to PgDummyGroup2[Pg]

Right after that, you should clear PgDummyGroup[Pg]:

Unit Group - Remove all units from PgDummyGroup[Pg]

Then, it lags when multiple casting just because of how many units you're moving. It is too complex an effect for WC3 to handle. After all, each cast creates 8x20=160 units, all being moved every 0.04 seconds. I have trouble with much more than 200... But, for a single cast, it looks really cool. :wink:

Garfield1337's spell using normal WE cant be use, maybe you didnt save it using JNGP dude...

Adiktuz · Jun 3, 2011

maybe its a new file, and he forgot that he need to save it twice for it to compile...

rysnt11 · Jun 3, 2011

is a documentation is optional, or a must have on the spell wip?

Oh, i didn't know i have to save it twice for it to be usable in vanilla WE.

Adiktuz · Jun 3, 2011

jass helper doesn't run on the first save of a new file... ^.^

but its just a speculation, I'm a bit confused of mckill's statement...

mckill2009 · Jun 3, 2011

you know bro, you may even create an AoS map as long as the spell exist and follow the rules here...

rysnt11 · Jun 4, 2011

Okay, then, a comment is an optional or a must have on the wip?

Klingo · Jun 4, 2011
