Please, don't compare Animate Cartoon and Warcraft Animation capability...
WHAT, is passive ?
Please, don't just give random video and make me do it
With animation like that, it's HELL to create it in warcraft
What passive ?
Blue aura hitting enemies head or something ?

It is quite... advance spell, and quite long to make it, so, you know how to wait for it ^_^

ok, how about [ 4:46 - 4:57 ] u can use custom effects ^^

 

[defskull]

Passive as in, EVERY time he attacks, crack on air, sends people flying ?
Or passive as in % chance of the time ?
You need to be more... specific.

just make it active. cz if it is passive it will be imba

 

[Garfield1337]

well Garfield, enlighten me on what 'missing hitpoints' really mean...or what type of event can trigger a loss of hit point?...

Currently,your spell has 2 main flaws.

First,you increase attack speed based on level of blood curse and it should be based on missing hitpoints. So if your unholy frenzy spell has 4 levels then set level of it for dummy to: integer(% of current hp for caster) / 25.

Second thing is you didn't consider heal and regeneration. If someone healed the caster his attack speed wouldn't change which is why you should,as baassee said,use a loop as event.

 

[defskull]

Are you even ready to request something that makes, sense ?
Please, be ready when you're about to request, okay ?
Active as it is, will done
Don't rush, please

 

[mckill2009]

Even if it's healed, it will still loose hit point if attacked or taken some damage thus increasing attack speed...Ok enough argue bro, peace!...

EDIT:
Dark Wind spell - DONE

 

[Jorko]

Although i had some other images flashing through my head when i was wondering what it would look like, the spell performs exactly as i requested 5/5 no doubt. One more thing also needs to be noted here -> the rapid reply & completion of this request.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

we are the elite.

 

[baassee]

now this is awesome. thx guys

 

[defskull]

And nice name-spelling too

 

[InfinateAnswers]

I took a guess. Lol. I was close.

 

[Foxiu]

So I'm here again.
This is my request - DASS - Damage Absorbing Shield System
You said that there's shield system and I just have to find it,
I found it but it's not that good as I though: You can't use more than one shield on unit,
so if u have one unit which can shield ally and other unit which have shield too then shields won't stack.

My request: DASS which can add more than one shield.

Example:
I have shield which absorbs 400dmg in 5s and shield which absorb 600dmg in 10s.
If I get 500dmg then first shield will dissapear and second shield will lose 100dmg.

I need this system for my map which have many champions with shield ability.

 

[baassee]

So this isn't good? Link

 

[Foxiu]

Yes, I tested it and it doesn't stack shields.

 

[baassee]

Link

Above might be the answer for you. You will be able to block damage which drains damage from the earliest thread created. Although you will have to create a system with timers for yourself but I guess that is not a problem.

 

[Foxiu]

Thanks, I'll check it

 

[Nestharus]

Another method, if you want some shields that block physical, others that block magic, and so on, is http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/submissions-414/extension-advdamageevent-187241/

But it requires that you know how to install lua scripts and object generating scripts. There is an unsubmitted tutorial I wrote on how to do those things though, but it's a bit chaotic (hence why not submitted)

[Foxiu]

How I hate JASS...
Not hate but i don't want to read this all lines
And I need other SYSTEMS to use it
I think that DASS will be last thing that I will do on my map haha

 

[InfinateAnswers]

it doesnt seem too hard to make? just have damage quarry for shielded units, and when you put another shield on the damage quarry increases.

 

[mckill2009]

I hate JASS/vJASS before but I'm amazed now by it's vast functions...

 

[Foxiu]

I can't just increase last shield dmg cuz Shield Time won't match
But i have an idea for that so nvm

 

[InfinateAnswers]

thats when u use hashtables

 

[yeohxin]

Hmm wondering why is my request in hold so long, is it because of I'm inactive?

 

[.VTZ.]

i need a shoot impact system. (knockback)
i dont know hot to implement system for any other systems.
so i need a knock effect based on damage taken for X Player. (for a realistic zombie map)
so you can use paladon or any vJass system to implement to me.
thank you i hope you guys can help me.

 

[Garfield1337]

I hate JASS/vJASS before but I'm amazed now by it's vast functions...

lol'd

And what additional functions does JASS use that impress you? GUI can do almost anything as JASS...
The thing is GUI is slower,harder to read and write,inefficient etc

 

[baassee]

GUI is only slower because of the bunch of BJs it pumps out, if you custom script call all natives then it will be as fast as plain JASS although then it will be plain JASS in GUI form ...

 

[mckill2009]

lol'd

And what additional functions does JASS use that impress you? GUI can do almost anything as JASS...
The thing is GUI is slower,harder to read and write,inefficient etc

One word to describe it all >>> 'simplicity'...I've compared some BJ's againts it's native counterpart and it makes sense to me why many Jassers/vJassers out there say blizzard makes it so difficult for us...

 

[Nestharus]

There's also the fact that you can't do functions in GUI...

 

[Mudpug]

1. My first request is for a web ability that is an icy web instead of a normal one.
It can have the same effects and stats as the normal web ability; I just want it to be an icy web instead of a normal one. Even the simplest changes or altercations would be awesome. Even changing the color of the web to blue would do the trick

Heres an icon of an icy web that was made by SexYFrostWyrM :
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/icons-541/btnsfwicyweb-167930/#post1865588

2. Also, I was wondering if you could make the diablo2 assassin spell Shield of Blades. Basically I want it to have similar qualities to immolation in the sense that when an enemy approaches the unit with shield of blades on, they will take damage over time. Another effect that I want is for it to act as thorns in the sense that if an enemy unit attacks the unit with shield of blades on, they will take damage.

Here are two pictures that I got of a assassin and her shadow clone both with shield of blades cast. One of the pictures is an assassin with shield of blades on as she whirlwinds across an area. If you can add some wind in with the blades or even make the blades into leaves then that would be awesome. Any help would be appreciated .

 

[baassee]

There's also the fact that you can't do functions in GUI...

As the "actions" is a pre-made function. (Just to make things clear for those who don't know why)

Nice double post there, you'll probably need to give some more proper information before I'll even considering looking in to it.

 

[millzy]

sorry but iv come again for another request

im after a spell that puts a shield on a ally and when the shield takes to much damage (or the duratatio)n it will explode dealing the damage taken to nearby units

works the same as Aphotic Shield from dota

also did any one end up finishing blood curse

 

[dardas]

hey milzi.. i wanna relearn how to use vjass to create spells,
working on some systems atm, but i did forget how to create spells,
if defskull doesnt mind, ill create it =]

btw: Mudpug, nice use of open battle net xD (infinitie whirldwind + aura)

edit: unless you need it gui o.o

 

[defskull]

Now, this thread is open thread
I repeat, this thread is an OPEN THREAD, which means that other user can help others to create the spells without my permission. Treat this thread as open source .

 

[millzy]

i want it gui

 

[yvanj2000]

Hello sir, can you make me a PVP system for my RPG map?

I hope you understand my English ;p

-I have 8 players in my map, all of them are allies and 2 enemies(excluded in pvp)
-for example every 30 sec of game, a duel event will start for anyone of the following 2v2, 3v3 ,4v4 or FFA and all heroes will move in pvp area.


the teaming is random ex.

player 1, 3, 6
vs
player 2, 4, 5

then the next round

player 1,2,3,4
vs
player 5,6,7,8

then next round

FFA mode

and so on...

 

[InfinateAnswers]

its a simple series of random number, and player groups

 

[yvanj2000]

so can you make for me?

 

[InfinateAnswers]

I dont get the whole concept, is it random 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 or FFA or is it based on the # of players?

 

[yvanj2000]

Hmm I did not noticed that, maybe based on number of players, if playing in map are 4 players only it will activate 1v1, 2v2 and FFA only

 

[InfinateAnswers]

alright ill see what i can do. I wont get started on it till this afternoon though.

 

[dardas]

Omg, i just realised he said he needs it gui..
if you dont..

goddam you milzy..
btw, if any1 uses this code, it have anything except explosion, dont try it..
example code:

        call ClearTextMessages()
        call BJDebugMsg("Damaged Unit: " + GetUnitName(wielder))

        local real shieldLife = GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetTriggerUnit(), 'A000') * 100
        local real shieldReduction = 100
        local ShieldSystemData shieldData = ShieldSystemData.create(GetTriggerUnit(), "Abilities\\Spells\\Human\\ManaShield\\ManaShieldCaster.mdl", shieldLife, shieldReduction)
        call shieldData.registerDamageEvent(ShieldIsHit)
        
        call createShield(shieldData)
    endfunction
    
    public function Conditions takes nothing returns boolean

    endfunction
    
    public function Init takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT)
        call TriggerAddCondition(t, Condition(function Conditions))
        call TriggerAddAction(t, function Actions)
    endfunction
endlibrary

good luck, ill try fixing explosion tommorow..

 

[baassee]

Currently that system will stack up lots of events when they're not needed. You probably should base it off a damage detection system that handles this or using dynamic triggers aka destroying triggers with useless events (multiple triggers needed). Should use GroupUtils too. Also SetWidgetLife is faster than SetUnitState. Else I have to say that it's enough for a user for now.

 

[dardas]

kk, ill try fixing all the stuff you said ;p
and btw, why groupUtils?

 

[baassee]

and btw, why groupUtils?

Recycling Groups?

 

[yvanj2000]

alright ill see what i can do. I wont get started on it till this afternoon though.

Thank you sir.
