Aquaos v1.0.1

[Daffa]

I hope it could be of some use.

 

[EdgeOfChaos]

Is this MUI? Currently, it breaks for me if I try to stack them with two blood mages (never releases the final blast)

 

[Daffa]

Interesting, my tests show they're MUI. I will check them out.

EDIT :
Tested it. I have both casters channel the spell until the duration ends and they worked perfectly. The burst requires the spell to complete it's channel procedure.

 

[EdgeOfChaos]

Haha, I did not realize it was channeling. My bad! Nice spell.

 

[Daffa]

I will take note of that and make minor update soon for tooltip and cooldown.

Good use of Bribe's system. It really does shorten the code by a lot.

It sure is helpful

Nice Spell you might make it cloneable, which is quite easy to do with Bribe's Spell System.
Would still boost up its useablity alot.

Spoiler: How to do

you save all aquaos Variables in the config as array using an creation index. This Creation Index you count up at the end of the Config.

In your case you can save everything inside creation index and count up creation index by 1 at the end of config.
If you would save data not as formel you would save them as Creation index + Level; aka Creation Index + 1, Creation Index + 2 ... .​

Additional you save creation Index onto the ability inside spell hash to easy load it in spells logic.

inside your cast Trigger: you save something like usedAbilityIndex[Spell Index] = Loaded AbilityCreation Index;
And use this usedAbilityIndex[Spell Index] inside your logic.

The bad point about this is that you have to convert Ability <> AbilityId using custom script, cause GUIhash does not accept Abilities which are actually Ids.
And might be a bit slower (not much), if one does not uses any Clone of this Spell.

udg_AbilityId is an Integer which you would have to create.
This converts the Spoken Ability inside Casting to an integer.

• Custom script: set udg_AbilityId = GetSpellAbilityId()

This converts the Choosen Ability in the Config to an integer.

• Custom script: set udg_AbilityId = udg_Spell__Ability

But it will reduces the mappers work to clone this to:

• Clone Spell in Object Editor
  
• Clone the config
• Change cloned config's/Spell's data.

Edit: is it intended that a unit takes burstDamage + intervalDamage at complet casting?

 

[Daffa]

is it intended that a unit takes burstDamage + intervalDamage at complet casting?

At the moment, yes. Though I plan to change that in the near future.

EDIT :

I do aware of boosting it into another level, but that would make it sort of a system. Might as well make it an interval-burst system. How about that for your resources instead? You can use mine as base

HAHAHA. This is amusing.

Spell concept is kind of meh and the visuals could use some work, but the length of the code is pretty astonishing. This is a great example of what Bribe's spell system can do.

Needs Fixed

• Nothing

Suggestions

• Why don't you store the AoE & damage into an array instead of recalculating it every time the loop fires?
• InitialSFX & BurstSFX should have configurable attachment points
• Attack type & damage type should be configurable
• In both your unit group loops, store (Picked unit) into a variable so you don't have to call the function twice per iteration

Approved​

 

[Daffa]

Thanks for the approval!

Spell concept is kind of meh

Hehehe. I go for old classics.

the visuals could use some work

I have no idea in mind for a much better visual... Except...

Why don't you store the AoE & damage into an array instead of recalculating it every time the loop fires?

Like how spells usually goes? I just follow the example in Bribe's System. I'll do it when I have time.

InitialSFX & BurstSFX should have configurable attachment points

Will do.

Attack type & damage type should be configurable

Welp, reminds me of someone who has almost everything configurable
Will do.

In both your unit group loops, store (Picked unit) into a variable so you don't have to call the function twice per iteration

How much of efficiency difference it makes? But still, will do.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Very little but why not!

 

[Daffa]

I guess I can take this to slightly another level. Wondering how should I apply a slow effect though. Will make this more the worthwhile.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Are you planning on adding a slow effect during the channel or when the damage is dealt at the end?

 

[Daffa]

During channel, though not accumulatively. In the end they will freeze if they are inflicted for full duration.

This will take a while to carry out.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Oo yes it will. That will definitely spice up the concept!

 

[Daffa]

For some reasons slow is kinda messed up. Gonna take some time to figure out what went wrong.
EDIT :
Update will be pending for awhile. Will ask Bribe what I do wrong with my spell in regard to slow mechanic.

 

[Daffa]

Just checked my Youtube channel and notices the spell's video is the most viewed video in my channel. And the only one with views above 100 xD

 

[Daffa]

I noticed a lot of will do was forgotten here. Oh shit.

Very interesting indeed, and certainly is a nice addition. We can always use some fancy new spells to make things more interesting. But I think the visuals can be improved... And I hope you can try to add more high-power fantasy anime spells in the future too! ^^

But I have some questions though,

1. Are the targeted/marked victims safe if they run away from the caster? Or are they doomed once hit, unless the caster is stunned?
2. Can the spell be configured to be uninterruptible, so that even after stunning the Blood Mage, it still happens?

1. As far as memory preserves, if they get out of range they will be covered properly
2. Possible, but kind of need to rework the third trigger (the loop) logic. Need some Spell System knowledge for that tbh.

1. So, in other words, if they run away, they won't be hit?

2. I don't know, but an idea came to my head suddenly... Maybe we can use some sort of dummy spell unit if we want it to be uninterruptible? Like, the guy casts the dummy spell on the target area, and then the trigger summons a dummy unit on that guy's position, the dummy unit who then casts the real spell there?

 

[Daffa]

1. Yes.
2. I can always just make the spell non-channel and recode it if you want a non interruptible spell
