0.01 timer is too small but other than that it's fine.

Looks nice from screenshot. I will test it later.

offtopic: umm lot of spells are uploaded today.

EDIT: OMG I didn't notice that you submitted this spell for challenge. Good luck!

EDIT2: = = I was too late. The spell was very good. 5/5

 

[calex3]

No need for luck... I think I won ...

This is really nice dude. You always get the best spell ideas Triggering seems fine.

Well played.

 

[Tortured Souls]

that looks epic

 

[Kingz]

Afaik, spells uploaded mustn't use imported stuff unless it is vital for the spell look.

These imports aren't vital for the spell and therefore you should remove them, if you want them since it is your submision for a contest you should simply attach the submision in that thread not here.

Anyway mostly SFX, nicely done though.

Still, get rid of the imports, so it doesn't violate the rules.

 

[calex3]

Ok I will do something in few minutes

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Frost Effect
  • Then - Actions
  • -------- ------------------------- --------
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
  • -------- ------------------------- --------
  • Else - Actions
  • -------- ------------------------- --------
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Frost Nova
    • (Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to 0

You do two unit type tests, so I think the second test should be in the first IF/THEN/ELSE check's else branch. Evaluate which type of unit is more likely to trigger the event and make that the first check.

I'd also separate the inialization from the <unit dies> thingies. Now it does that false/true check for nothing when a unit dies, which consumes resources, even if only a tiny amount.

 

[X-OMG-X]

Awesome.. Good luck versus berzerker. You'll need it

Isn't it better to make less triggers then many of them....Like this I put 3 triggers in one....(Unit-Unit dies, Map Init, Unit-Stop Cast of Ability)..
Hmmm ok I will add other unit dying to ELSE actions...

Other then every 0.01 it's fine

Ok now it is 0.04

get rid of imports

.... ok updating in few moments
Do I have to? It is approved and you can change model file if you want it importless ....
Picking effect and unit for caster makes me go Berserk

 

[rayapple]

Erm... it would be better off if it took quite long enough to summon the frozen stone and make it last longer, (around 1.25 or so) cuz if you see skills in WoW, some of them are taking about 5 seconds but it is quite powerful. Maybe, if u put it this way, it may look more realistic than ever. just to add it off, u can put some effects to your hero when casting the spell, for better graphical purposes

 

[GhoSTMaN-Fu-]

hmm, how do you make the angles/directions where the balls shoot out like closer together, i would like to know this please, then i can use it in my map

 

[calex3]

so you want to change this spell or you want to know how to do it in your own one...
if oyu want ot change it in this spell send me private message and i will show you part of trigger whre you can do that

 

[matej]

Epic....

 

[Marsal]

howly shaaat it's awsom

 

[PrinceYaser]

How can I reduce the spell's damage? It's too much!

 

[LordDz]

In the trigger main trigger, at the bottom is a unit group with this action:

• Unit - Cause OW_Caster[OW_Index[2]] to damage (Picked unit), dealing (150.00 + (25.00 x (Real

Change the 150 value to something lower, don't change the rest.

I've changed it to 1 but still it's very powerful!

 

[LordDz]

So change the 25 number to something lower too.
