The ability is MUI and leakless and has nice effects I recommend that you use a setup trigger where you create the hashtable, set up variables for the ability, dummy type and effects

Haha quick look at your discription tells me im gonna like this one i will try it imediately.besides the point, i like the black too! Its anice touch

 

[Wrda]

And please, don't comment about the font being black. Here's my reply in advance: I like it that way!

Black font isn't good here...It doesn't have anything to do with like or dislike, but it's hard to read...

Launches a fabolous pony star (LOL! It's not, that was a joke) at the targeted angle for some distance. After hitting one lucky bastard, the missile will split into 5 stars which will turn other colliding units into a clone of the first one for some time. The stars will split again into 3 after hitting another unit.

This needs proper description, not jokes. xd

Don't modify a unit for your dummy, create your own unit, and use that, additionally the dummy unit should be a configurable, additionally, attach the ability to a hero unit rather than a regular unit.

I'd also suggest adding "Base" values and "Per level" values to your configuration to allow greater control of statisticss.

And definitely change that tooltip to something more useable in a normal map rather than being a joke-tooltip.

Also you don't need to add/remove crow form if your dummy has movement speed and a movement type of flying, I'd suggest basing it off the locust unit for undead

@Lichkings slave - Hell yeah! You're so cool! xD
*Bro-fist*

@Tank-Commander - Sorry, I didn't know WCIII modding is a serious business xD
I think the description is okay, as I already had explained the effects of the ability.
But I don't understand the point of using a Hero unit. Every time you test it, you will need to select the hero, press the "Red-Plus" button then level-up the ability, and once the ability is level 3, you cannot change it back to its previous level, or if you do, I'm sure you will use a trigger too, I don't like it. I think 'unit + pressing ESC' is the fastest way to test a spell.

The only thing that is important here is the configuration
and also the prefixes.

Also,don't use locations in SetUnitX/Y, it looks ugly
Just use GetUnitX(unit) + dist * Cos(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)
GetUnitY(unit) + dist * Sin(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)

function PolarProjectionBJ takes location source, real dist, real angle returns location

    local real x = GetLocationX(source) + dist * Cos(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)

    local real y = GetLocationY(source) + dist * Sin(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)

    return Location(x, y)

endfunction

Blizzard uses that kind of method too,though they use locations.They love leaky things

Agreed! Thank you for pointing that out.

But I'm using that location (TempPointB) for picking units & for creating special effects too, I can't use your method, sadly.

I'm really excited to get some comments about the SPELL guys. I appreciate the help, but can you at least say something like "the spell is cool" or "this spell sucks!" after the criticism? But if you don't want to, that's okay.

 

[Almia]

TempPointC is what im talking about dude.

 

[Tank-Commander]

Even better, before Getting the x/y multiply the angle by bj_DEGTORAD so that you only run that calculation once

I.e.

• Custom script: set udg_Angle = udg_Angle * bj_DEGTORAD
• Custom script: SetUnitX(GetUnitX(udg_unit) + udg_distance * Cos(udg_angle))
• Custom script: SetUnitY(GetUnitY(udg_unit) + udg_distance * Sin(udg_angle))

Edit: As for comments on the effect, it looks pretty neat, though it shouldn't really be able to change units into the same type as it already is, i.e. turn a peon into a peon, miught want to consider that as a check in the conditions. other than that I'm rather fond of the effects

I was going to use this. Then I realized you can't take your submission seriously, and I have no need for that, as it likely reflects upon the spell.

Sorry. 3/5

 

[xgeneralthorx]

and i thinking about a spell with bamboo #

 

[Imadori]

@Almia & Tank-Commander - Thank you masters, I've learned another trick!

@Archange1 - What's with that PM? Prove to me that you are a better spell maker, then I will listen. I won't bother editing my spell (nor the description) just for the likes of you right now, sorry.
Btw, I can't get your screenshot working so I made one. At least your screenshot is better. Lol!

@xgeneralthorx - Yeah, this is a bamboo spell. Thanks for the comment.

Updated!

Oh your'e welcome

I never said your spell was bad, but that I liked it.

I was simply saying that the jokes were unnecessary and that you would need a screenshot.
I even liked the spell so much I gave you a screenshot.

Sorry to hear it wouldn't work.
But there's no need for me to prove anything.

 

[BunnyAng]

Neat spell there, buddy! I'd like to see this spell in the hands of a pro . This spell could really turn the tide of war easily, or bring mishap to his own allies lol.

Edit: Noticed a lil something...when i turned into a peon, the caster automatically re-cast the spell at where he cast it again even when i try to stop it. Is that intentional?

 

[Bboy Moose]

We need more spells like this :>

 

[Weng]

This needs proper description, not jokes. xd

This isn't that bad XD

 

[Lichkings slave]

It works, its cool, and i like it, all this put together means this spell is really really good
