Amazon Spellpack v1.5

[Moderator]

Approved. Good spell pack. The spells are original and the effects are fine.

 

[Adiktuz]

maybe link to Maker's spell calling system...

 

[Marsal]

Well, it's just a reply in an other topic, but a sec ~.~

Done.

 

[Adiktuz]

ooh... nice...

 

[Archangel678]

Several of the spells constantly call (GetLastCreatedUnit()) and (GetEnumUnit())... if you set them to a variable it could help with efficiency.

(Level of Split Cold Arrows for Caster) set that to a variable to help with efficiency, and just re-call the variable.

Unit - Kill IAArrow[IAInteger] - I've heard that you should use Unit - Explode instead.

Shadow Shot is fairly simple, triggering wise, which can be good and bad.

The spells are triggered very well, if you wish to increase the efficiency just do what I listed.

 

[Marsal]

Okay I make some little modifications ~.~

"triggering wise, which can be good and bad."
Whut?

 

[Archangel678]

Perhaps I was not able to type what I meant... I just woke up.

Simple spells, such as Shadow Shot, some people do not like them - they only want 'complex' spells here - while the simple triggering can help avoid generating lagg.

 

[Marsal]

Since it's a pack it doesn't even matter ~.~ Also people like simple spells, if they are really good. I hope it is ~.1

 

[Archangel678]

What's ironic is that one of the most downloaded spell here is actually a spellpack of object-editor spells, with imported models.

 

[Marsal]

Hehe

edit: Changes done.

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

Shadow shot don't always hit the targeted unit? Or you wanted it like that? Put some invisible units in the map for the testers to see if the flare arrow reveals invisible units or not but thats not important,its up to u :x you should really add a blood effect when the impaling arrow hits ^^
PS:Shadow arrow's shadow should be checked using triggers,not just using a dummy but that's hard so you should ask maker to help u

 

[Marsal]

I don't know why is it shoots others too, but it's not a big problem.
The flare arrow is not supposed to reveal any units, it just reveals a map area.
I just didn't add the blood effect because there is already a knockback effect.

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

Sry dint read properly for the flare arrow,for the shadow arrow you should check with other triggerers,im not that good,just a suggestion but i think you should replace the knockback effect with blood effect ^^ all the best

 

[Jazztastic]

These seem like some pretty cool spells. Ima download and test soon

 

[Magtheridon96]

You don't need this:

• Custom script: set udg_IADMGGroup[udg_IAIndex] = CreateGroup()

In GUI, Globals automatically initialize ( They go to the globals header of the map and initialize (CreateGroup for groups, InitHashtable for hashtables, CreateRegion for regions, etc...)

 

[Adiktuz]

but make sure that you set the array size for things that needed to be initialized, into the right amount, because GUI will only initialize the indexes included in the size...

Well just try to remove it... You have to pre-set the arrayed groups before you can use add and remove on them. If you don't, the game don't know if that group really exists and does nothing with these functions.

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

Change picked unit into the var you picked for the targeted unit will do

 

[Marsal]

What?

Remove the OR, this shouldn't be on all the time.

• Clean Dummy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Dummy Amazon Attack
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

This function could use reals since it can give the same output with differeent input values:

• Set TempInt = ((Agility of Caster (Include bonuses)) / ((Number of units in TempGroup) / 2))

For example
27/(3/2) => 27
27/(2/2) => 27
with reals
27/(3/2) => 18
27/(3/2) => 27

How can this be 0 if is not subtracted from: IACount Equal to 0? The check is in the wrong place. Do the change in all looping spells.

Impaling arrow travels on the ground.

• Set ARArrows[ARIndex] = (35 + (5 x (Level of Unknown (A00Q) for ARCaster[ARIndex])))

Unit group leak:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from ARArrowsGroup[ARInteger]) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

And GUI arrays are not auto-initialized. Things like timers, groups and dialogs have to be created by the user with calling the create function or setting the initial size of the array, like Adiktuz said.

Only indexes 0 and 1 are not automatically null.

But I create the groups, then I don't know what's the problem.

Changes uploaded soon.

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

What?

Sorry I cant use world editor on this laptop,its not mine so i cant post the triggers,i'll just have to tell you,what i said is about the shadow shot,just change the picked unit into targeted unit variable

 

[Marsal]

Aw lol, I haven't seen that, little missclick ~.~ Thanks.

 

[Maker]

But I create the groups, then I don't know what's the problem.

Oh, the comment wasn't pointed at you, you're using CreateGroup so no problem there

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

Btw the spells lag when I cast them for the first time,I don't know if its my comp or your spell,but if its your spell i think its the spell calling system

 

[Marsal]

Glad to hear that Moment and I upload the new version.

Edit: Done!

I'm not sure if the spell calling system is it. The strange thing that annoys me that the simpliest spell creates the biggest lagg.

Thats cause simple spell did complex things I guess

 

[Marsal]

But in almost every case? If I just create a dummy that buffs a target unit with another buff it laggs like hell but when I call tons of indexing spells at a moment it runs like heaven.

 

[f0rsAk3n]

Every spell will lag the first time it's casted when you run the map.
This can be avoided by pre-loading the spell, but it's not necessary.

 

[Marsal]

Hmm. By pre-loading you mean to create 1 dummy that cast the spells at init. or when the elapsed game time is 0?

 

[Matarael]

Looks pretty cool.

 

[shadowvzs]

i love the arrow rain its really cool, i searched for that but never got it before
only thiong what i want modify is the dmg of each arrow what falling from sky, depend from agility instead fixed dmg

 

[SABREWULF]

The arrows rain spell crushed on my map when i played on multi......

 

[Marsal]

Well then your map has something problem. Check if the variables are automatically made at copy and check the triggers. At copying the editor often changes something.

On my map it works perfectly.

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

The split cold arrows lag (

 

[Marsal]

Only on the first cast since the map not contains preload trigger.

 

[WindowsVistaSucks]

Magtheridon96, took the letters right out of my keyboard.

I like it, but I wont use this.

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

Split cold arrows lag

 

[Marsal]

Split cold arrows lag

Only on the first cast as I said.

 

[Japut3h]

Only on the first cast as I said.

Any way to fix it? I love your spellpack but that lag is very obvious and pretty annoying, even though it just happens once. I'm not that good with triggers so I don't know how to fix it myself :/

 

[bigboss]

Is there any way to change the damage output to somthing better than in this systems default damage cause the dummy damage u use is very limited
(Ex. what if the agi of the caster is higher than the ones listed on the dummy damage u use)
any replies to this matter is appreciated

 

[TheFrenchLeprechaun]

Does someone know how to remove this lag on the first cast?

This can be avoided by pre-loading the spell, but it's not necessary.

How to pre-load a spell?


EDIT : if you're interested in fixing the lag on first cast check that.

Amazing i will use it in my map 5/5
