NEEDS FIX

Unit groups for other than for indexes 0 and 1 do not exist nor are they created at any point. Thus the knockback does not work for indexes higher than 1

Old review 22:47, 18th Dec 2008 Hanky: A really well job as always, Paladon. The triggering is really effective. The spell and system are leakless and MUI. The visual effects are really well used. The idea of the spell is ok. The documentation of the spell is very well made. And because of that you get an extra good rating from me. Maybe some GUI users will learn something from your triggering and will use it in their future spells. Well, I just can highly recommend to use this spell if this spell is that what you are searching for. Also this spell could be a good help for many GUI users to learn finally how to make MUI, leakless and effective spells in GUI.

Nearly forgot: Please report every (im)possible bug you´re noticing.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Fun.
My computer doesn't take this as a warcraft map. But an '0' file.

Which means, that i can't open it in my WE.

 

[Blaxor]

same here

 

[Paladon]

same here

Ill fix it now!

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Just add the su-fix. 'W3x' file.

*Spamspamspamspam*

 

[Paladon]

Duh, fixed, the files name was too long.

 

[Blaxor]

Really nice i can see many uses for this for an example replace the existing shockwave with this beatiful and plain epic spell

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Really good documentation, i must say.

BUUUUUT~~
The knockback triggers should be in same folder/comment.
That way its easier to implament (Only copy one thing).

Well, you can merge the categories in less than two seconds.

 

[Blaxor]

The documentation is really good and helps me to understand what's going on since it could be rather difficult if you're not the maker of the trigger(s) but I found a little typo in the trigger Shockwave1, you wrote stroing when I'm 100% sure you meant storing.

EDIT: I would +rep you but i can't (need to spread around some rep first)

Fixing, thanks^^
Fixed.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Ofcourse i can. Actually, it takes me Zero-point-six seconds. But other people may think, that they only need to copy your 'spell'.

Okay.
Merged.

Don´t get me wrong, i already learned Jass.
But as i said in the description, this is a requested spell.
Guess why i made this huge documentation^^

hhm... oh great

[Paladon]

hhm... oh great

okay, no problem jonny
I said it sometimes in the trigger & scripts section as well as in some contests threads. But whatever, you´ll see some Jass by me in the Elunar Campaign.

 

[Igor_Z]

Thanks a lot m8... +rep for u

 

[D1000]

looks as good as your other spells (or even better) and works fine 5/5 +rep
/€ no rep yet, same problem as Blaxor

 

[Dark_Dragon]

nice as always Paladon!

 

[Juances19]

This is an amazing spell and with too many documentation now i can understand what im doing instead of a blind copy/paste, i would rate it 5/5 but im new and i need to wait 10 days to do it

 

[scorre]

I've found a bug. If you cast the spell at your hero the impaledusteffect didnt come the way shockwave moving it comes units facing angle +180.

 

[Dark_Dragon]

thats the blizzard bug not Paladons, because he uses GetSpellTargetLoc() which by blizzerd is wrong or just maybe because... well angle between same points is zero so i dont know how it is angle + 180. but what could be done by this is checking if spell target point and point of caster are the same then pick caster current angle else calculate angle between points...

Well i guess this helps Paladon... but if it is blizzard bug to not put target point at caster if cast on itself there is maybe a way to calculate very low distance or something but that can get complex. Well i can only say to try this simple matter i said...

Greets!
~Dark Dragon

 

[Paladon]

Wouldn´t be the first time avoiding a blizzard bug-> I´ll try to fix that.
EDIT: Updated.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

This is great stuffs paladon! You just doing better and better spells!

 

[Empiredeath]

nice

 

[Yixx]

Omg seriously,, your spells just rule the spell section!!
Everytime i watch at one,, i learn something new about GUI =D
+rep!!

 

[Mysecret]

Looks very nice. The only thing that could make it better is if units get pushed further if they are in front of the shockwave, if theres any way to do that.

 

[NiddHogg-kun]

Highly Recomended? Hanky rated HR?
WOW! He sayed that he will never rate 5/5 GUI spell.
I hope Hanky will rate my spell 5/5 too. Just Dreams >.<
Paladon you are the best GUI user there and my teacher
I hope i will be as good as you there

That would be easy for me, but honestly, kinda unnecessary.

[TheBlooddancer]

We must all admit it.

Paladon is GUI-God.

 

[Deathclaw24]

Okay this spell is awesome but I don't really understand how to make it work, I have all the correct variables it says required, the Get Knockback and Cast A Knockback triggers are running and enabled.

Okay so that's all running, now I made an Action to apply

Unit starts ability
-Shockwave-
Now i have all the Set_KBA variables setup but when I test it out it doesn't do work.

In your map you have the three Shockwave triggers, do I need those? Please help me out.

 

[MajorSonnwaitts]

Yeah, you need all of the "Shockwave" triggers to make it work, since the first ones set the variables and that stuff.

About the spell, w00t! Paladon, you definetively make the best GUI spells here!. I putted this on my project 5 minutes after testing it. But too many comments :S I know it's for the newbies. In fact, I make that much text on my spells, but I'm too lazy to remove them after importing it

5/5 for such an awesome system. I'd give you +rep for this, but I gave it to you a few days ago, and I can't do that again.

 

[Deathclaw24]

Okay so I need to import ALL of the variables in those shockwave triggers :S
Damn... lol. Is their any easy way to import variables cuz it takes me like 30 mins.

O yeah and can this spell be used by multiple units at once?

This spell is completely MUI so it can be used by multiple units at once
To paste all variables by copying the triggers, simply enable "create unknown variables by pasting(or however it´s called)" under file->presettings->general.
Then copy the triggers and all variables are automatically created.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

That way, it will auto-create all the variables.

 

[Igor_Z]

yy... Its MUI i used it for more than 1 unit. Paladon rocks

 

[Sour]

Awesome spell man like the way you make the unit get push back

 

[onisaiyan808]

I fucking love you, Paladon.

 

[Yixx]

Guys,, i think there is no use making more spells,, cause We've got Paladon!! =D

We must all admit it.

Paladon is GUI-God.

The Inevitable Truth,, srsly with Paladon it almost seems like GUI is better then Jass =O

 

[Arariel]

Anything that can kill trees AND creeps is awesome!

[Jack_Sparrow93]

This just getting better and better! Great with a documention to! thx!

 

[ronaldo]

Great Gui, i mean probably the best someone could make. I like the spell, the documentation and i like that in your spells things don't run unnecessarily all the time .
Thanks.

 

[Blue_Master]

Holy Shit !!!!! This Spell owns ! Keep going to make this awesome GUI spells !

 

[Deathlichmaster]

dam awesomeness best gui knock back ever D=! 5/5.

 

[Nightbrowler]

how fu***** much variables did you make?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Okay, i found a kinda important bug, and lack of documentaion. Im using this spell in my map "Knockback!", but now i have this spell in two different versions, wich works fine, but when i then cast the third version, the knockback doesen't trigger! the effects when the dummy moves is there, just not knockback...

Also, to have multiple versions of this spell, do i then need a "Shockwave3" trigger for each of them, if i want different effects?

//LoS

 

[moyackx]

The problem with the GUI spells is that they are not modular, so it doesn't matter how well GUIed is it, it won't be easily portable.

Solution for you: Learn jass.
