Presentation


The concept (function) it is of Blizzard, however, it is of my authorship and intellectual property. After all, I adapted the resource of the World of Warcraft for the universe of Warcraft III.


Features


  • MUI
  • LeakLess
  • Simple codes
  • Easy to set/setup
  • Easy to import/use
  • Great performance (I believe)


Changelog


Current version (1.1)

  • Spell - More efficiency (the presences are changed instantly).
  • Triggers - Updatings, corrections and adjustments for the current version.
  • Ability - According to the suggestion, the ability Presence (Change) it was changed by the ability Berserk.

Old version (1.0)

  • Triggers - Old triggers.
  • Ability - the ability Presence (Change) it is originated from Channel.
  • Spell - Low efficiency (the presences took a small time to be changed).



Spell's function


Allow Death Knight to change Blood, Frost or Unholy Presence. Each presence improves Death Knight performance.

  • Blood - Increases the physical defense.
  • Frost - it Increases the attack damage.
  • Unholy - it Increases the attack speed and movement.

  • Attack bonus: 15%/20%/25%/30% of Death Knight's physical attack.
  • Attack speed bonus: 15%/25%/35%/45%.
  • Defense bonus: 3/4,5/6/7,5 points.
  • Speed bonus: 5%/10%/20%/25%.
  • Just one presence can be activated by time and permanence.

How to Import


To import this spell in any map it is necessary to copy some items in the list below:

  • Trigger - Folder "Presence".
  • Import - All of the imported objects (from icon to models).
  • Buff - To copy the buffs of the presences (Blood,Frost and Unholy) in Object Editor.
  • Ability - The ability "Presence (Change)", "Presence (Blood)","Presence (Frost)" and "Presence (Unholy)" in Object Editor.

Tip - Enable the option: Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger dates (Go to: File>Preferences>General in your Warcraft III World Editor). This way, it won't be necessary to copy all the variables one for one.

    PurgeandFire: The code is short, but the spells themselves/the object editor manipulation is really nice.

    I recommend basing them off berserk or any other spell that does not interrupt orders, but that it not necessary for approval. The ability is now based off berserk. Love it! Bumped to recommended.

    Approved!

    its a different kind of spell but i advise changing a few things.

    Since it loops through the buffs you should change this to a unit array / integer array / unit indexer by bribe.
    You can add a random number by setting the integer array keyed to that unit.
    Then give that unit the ability by using the integer.

    When the ability is cast u remove the old buff then set the integer to integer + 1 then use an ITE to check if the integer is equal to 4 set it to one. then add that ability to the unit. It will take down the amount of actions u do everytime the spell is cast so this will be more efficient.

    Isn't Blood Presence the one that increases attack damage now? And it also steals life I think. I'm pretty sure Frost Presence is the tanking presence. Other than that, nice. I these abilities once only I never thought of combining them like you did.

    Maybe you should also consider placing the added abilities into a disabled spell book? Some people like to use the slots they're occupying for extra skills.

    Well, in the Cataclysm expansion (and the next), the presence (properties) were changed by Blizzard.

    Oh yeah, you're right :) If you're going to update this spell, I suggest basing the spell on berserk that way it doesn't interrupt the unit's orders. The Death Knight kinda stops for a while when he changes presences.

    Believe are related to Cast Point, which is responsible for the activation time of any skill / spell.
    And yes, I will update this version as your suggestion. Thank you for your kindness.

    I have made a spell like this one before, just for fun, and placed it in the undead campaign for reign of chaos (I also did the same with the paladin, changing auras from command, devotion and retribution auras), and I used a spellbook with the abilities used to make the changes inside.

    If you want to see it you can ask me and I can send a link via pm. It is MUI and can be of help to improve yours (using only the spellbook as a way of changing from one presence to the other ^^)

    presence effects should fade away after 1-2 seconds of activation.
