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.
------------------

------------------
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.

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

10 Feb 2012
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

Please post codes by using

You can copy the trigger by using "copy as text"
Select the trigger, move your mouse inside the trigger, scroll up, right click the name an select "Copy as text"

  • 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...
