Crixalis` Sand Storm

[redblack]

I tried to do that skill but it deals damage to my allies - I based on Blizzard or Rain of fire, changed targets only to enemies, changed ability model to a fog and by triggers i add perm invisibility. What wrong? With my ability i need to choose area of effect and it deals damage to me and my allies too, here;s description of spell:

Sand King creates a fearsome Sand Storm. The storm blinds his enemies and he becomes invisible to them. The storm also causes his opponents to take damage.

lvl 1/2/3/4
manacost: 60/50/40/30
cd: 40/30/20/10
casting range: N/A
AoE: 275/325/375/525
duration: 20/40/60/80
targets: enemy units
desc: deals 20/40/60/80
0.6/0.9/1.2/1.5 second delay before sand king is revealed (stops casting, geting stuned or smth that stop channel spell)

Notes

• Damage type: magical
• If the Sand King is magic immune at the moment of casting Sand Storm, it will not become invisible.
• Sand Storm is considered a channeling spell.

Here's another fail
I tried to do Burrow strike (how I made it
Impale with changed damage etc. triggers:
unit beigns cast
ability = burrow strike
play unit attack slam animation
hide casting unit
movei nstantly casting unit to target point of ability beign cast
unhide casting unit
play casting unit stand animation

everything works great but deals no damage ..... any ideas ?

 

[Miss_Foxy]

How about basing the Sandstorm skill on Immolation? And change the Burrowstrike's Impale so that the Impale does damage, or just use a trigger to apply damage to anyone within that area of effect after a delay of, lets say, 1 second? I hope it helps!

 

[Lich Prince]

How about basing the Sandstorm skill on Immolation?

Smart answer Foxy, but it's not channeled. How about basing it on Starfall?

Ofcourse there's the triggerable way...

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Why didn't I think of that... I wonder if it could be based on a Lightning Shield (That is set to not damage allies) as well?

also the immulation wouldent work because if im right the hero goes invis when using the sand storm and the immulation wont work while he is invis
no lighting shield does hit allies

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Then Starfall is the only thing I can think of.

 

[millzy]

i dunno why blizzard doesent work

also

in stead of using begins cast you need to use start effect of abillity
begins cast wont work becuase you move the hero before he atcherly casts the spell

 

[Kala]

Its Tranquility with negative values... Its pretty obivious.

And why do you copy Dota spells anyway?

 

[cboy123]

Kala Sand storm can kill units while tranquility only reduces the health points of the enemy. No damage acquired

 

[Garfield1337]

If you want it totally same as in dota,trigger the whole spell. You shouldn't make same spells,however,try to think of your own.

 

[millzy]

yer i gues you should make get some of your own ideas for spells

iv seen alot of your threads asking for dota stuff

 

[Adiktuz]

you have many threads now asking for triggers for DotA spells, why dont you just make a thread in the Requests section and put all the spells that you want in that thread?

anyway, I'm sure there is a working burrow strike in the resource section...

as for Sand Storm, use Channel, set target type to instant, set the Follow through time to 20/40/60/80 or whatever... then make a trigger that when you start casting the ability, someone will cast invisibility to you... create a dummy and put a permanent immolation based skill on it (just so as the permanent immo doesnt show on your hero)... then trigger the special effects...

then if you stopped or finishes casting the ability, remove the invisibility buff and the dummy...

 

[-Kobas-]

I will create spell tomorrow is that ok?

 

[redblack]

If you could that will be awesome btw. I'm making map like DOTA (maybe u played Heroes of Newerth??) same hero skills, but my own concepts, icons, models etc. the spells are different.

Don't use:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

Use:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Very general rule applicable to all spell triggering. Might solve your problem, and if it doesn't it will solve other problems. 'Begins Casting' will proc the event trigger before the spell is cast, in which case it might be interrupted before the spell finishes casting and the trigger will still go off, but the base spell will never actually cast.

ahhh... its better if you really change the spells of the heroes, coz copying it will be like copy-pasting DotA...

same hero skills but different spells??????

 

[redblack]

based like dota spells but different special effects.

 

[Adiktuz]

based like dota spells but different special effects.

then its still the same... ^^

its better if you modiify the effects... make sandstorm cause slow or give units a miss factor inside the sandstorm...

 

[redblack]

with slow or miss it could be too overpowered

 

[Adiktuz]

with slow or miss it could be too overpowered

then lower the damage or the duration...

even just a very slight variation to the effect of the normal will do... anyway its just suggestions... ^^

 

[Kala]

Kala Sand storm can kill units while tranquility only reduces the health points of the enemy. No damage acquired

What?
Are you really that stupidó?

reduces the health points of the enemy

And what is damage? Damage reduces the health points of the enemy...

 

[Adiktuz]

What?
Are you really that stupidó?


And what is damage? Damage reduces the health points of the enemy...

its because its not registered as damage... the unit if it dies wont be registered as a kill by you since tranquility just changes the units life over time... if it dies, it will be registered as a suicide...

 

[Garfield1337]

Kala,don't tell others they're stupid while you made a mistake.

 

[cboy123]

Why people always treat me as stupid T_T. Done/

 

[millzy]

Why people always treat me as stupid T_T. Done/

its not that your stupid it just may be that the way u triggering could be the wrong way to do it and may be over reacting

 

[Kala]

Kala,don't tell others they're stupid while you made a mistake.

Didn't make an mistake, sorry.
Don't put words to other people's mouth. Did he say that he wants EXACTLY, what
you think he want? Did he say that he doesnt want to use my way? Please, next time, ask what he wants, before whining to me.

And anyway, this is going so offtopic. You could PM or VM to me, not to reply this topic.

Thanks

 

[redblack]

Stop offtoping

 

[millzy]

well here is burrow strike GUI MUI and leakless
it was not as simple as i thought it would be but still very simple

may need to be messed around with

 

[-Kobas-]

There is no need for indexing system and wait!
Try this simple trigger below!

• Burrow strike
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Impale
  • Actions
    • Set Point_Temp = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to Point_Temp
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point_Temp)

 

[millzy]

well im pritty sure u need a wait

the way the spell works is its casted unit is hidden effect finished unit intantly moved to point

when there is no wait the unit is moved while the effect is taking place

 

[-Kobas-]

Just test mine triggers

why is there a .00 second wait?

anyway there is a burrow strike in the spells section which is GUI MUI... and it stops the impale at the target point, not just transport the caster there... + no waits or indexing...

Burrow Strike

 

[-Kobas-]

Remove wait and test spell ^^

Nah I will be nice and tell you!

If we remove wait action, hero will lose mana but he will not cast spell because of move action!
With wait 0.00 action all works fine!

ahhh... since waits cannot be really lower than 0.2x anyways or so they say... that was pretty okay if he doesnt need the impale to stop at the target point... is it MUI?

 

[MortAr]

That not how the burrow strike in DotA works...

Their ability checks the distance, so there will no impale after it, meaning, you need an ability with lets say 6 levels for 600 range impale and just check distance.

the Burrow Strike spell link that I posted does it that way...

Yes it is!

You can do also pausing and non-pausing sets.
