Description:
When activate, it blocks attacks that come from the front and gives a chance to bash nearby attacking enemies.
------------------
Suggestion:
I suggest using this spell for some bosses and mini-bosses in RPG maps. It can be used in Castle Defend maps too.
------------------
Configurables:
The first five functions are editable constraints, includes:
-Ability ID
-Chance to stun
-Stun range
-Mana cost
-Block Angle
You can leave the last four of them the way they are, but editing ability ID constraint is required to get the spell work.
------------------
How to use:
-Copy "Defend" category in Trigger Editor and custom ability in Object Editor from this map to yours.
-Get custom ability ID
-Change the fifth line of the trigger "Defend" to "returns <your ID>"
------------------
Changelog:
-Version 0.0:Spell Uploaded.
-Version 0.1:
+Added stun effect.
+Added special effects.
+Added mana cost.
+Change attack blocking method from using dummies spell to using triggers
-Version 0.2:
+Uses Jass instead of GUI triggers.
+Uses Weep's GUI Friendly Damage Detection.
+Uses The_Witcher's Stun Unit System instead of dummies.
+Added Configurables.
------------------
Credits:
-Weep
-The_Witcher
------------------
I hope it will be useful for your maps.
Sorry for my bad English.



JASS: 
// Configurables:

function ID takes nothing returns integer
// Write ID of custom "defend" in your map here, mine was 'A001'
        return 'A001'
endfunction

function BashChance takes nothing returns integer
// This is the chance (%) to bash. For example, if the following line is "return 25", the chance to bash is 25%.
// Note: It is an integer
        return 25 
endfunction

function BashDistance takes nothing returns real
// To get an attacking enemy bashed, you have to get close enough, so this is the distance between the defending unit and
// it's attackers, from which it will bash. I choose 150.00 because it's melee range and pretty far so almost melee attackers
// can't avoid it
        return 150.00
endfunction

function ManaCost takes nothing returns real
// Mana cost used here is 10.00, it's the amount of mana you use for blocking each attack
        return 10.00
endfunction

function Angle takes nothing returns real
// This "determine" which direction is the front, from which defending units can block. For Example: if Angle returns 40.00,
// defending units can block attacks come from maximum of 40 degree from it's front to it's side. if it's 180.00, they can
// block attacks come from any directions.
        return 40.00

IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.

21 Feb 2012
Bribe: Required: You need to prefix your variable & function names relevant to the library.

Required: Remove the GUI-style blocks. If you don't already know how to fix them then you should be coding in GUI, not in JASS.

Optional: Remove the BJ's. They are pointless.

Optional: Use a better stun system.

------------------------------------------------

Bribe: imo this is too map-specific. If you want a resource that you want people to use as a standalone thing you should be considering:

1) Using Weeps's GUI Friendly Damage Detection System

2) Not using waits

3) Making some configurables for people to change the settings here

4) Fix your memory leaks
 
  • Unit - Create 1 Caster Dummy for (Owner of (Attacked unit)) at (Position of (Attacking unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
Leaks a point. Set the point to a variable and then destroy it.

Set (Last Created Unit) to a variable, its more efficient.

Make the Dummy Unit explode on death, it'll make sure it doesn't leak.

Triggering Unit > Attacked Unit
Triggering Unit > Ordered Unit

I believe its too simple, I'd suggest adding special effects, or something...
