Doodad Hunt 1.05

[FeelsGoodMan]

Awesome, by the description it sounds like the equivalent of Counter-Strike's mod called prop hunt. Is it inspired by that? Will try it when I get home!

 

[purparisien]

Yeah the game is similar to prop hunt as well. You have also some new features, like changing the number of doodads or the size of the map.

 

[deepstrasz]

Please credit the original author (and map) you've inspired yourself from. You've written about it but not under credits.

How do you get mana?

Generally, the game is the same. Maybe think of more modes?

-I've edited the autor and credits section

-You need to collect presents that spawn in the map to have mana

-I can add another mode, where everyone is a doodad and have to chase each other

Haven't seen any, lol.

-I can add another mode, where everyone is a doodad and had to chase each other

Anything goes. The more the merrier.

 

[purparisien]

-Presents spawn after 30 seconds. Trolls see them 10 seconds later. After 40 seconds, the spawn is visible for everyone and in pinged

Ah, that's what the pings were for? How do I pick them up?

 

[purparisien]

-You just need to walk by it. It will auto pick them up

-The 1.04 was bugged and the present didn't spawn. I fixed it with the 1.04b. Presents spawn and you can earn mana

 

[deepstrasz]

3 of the troll's abilities have the same hotkey D. Ping Doodad's is P as Patrol.
Also check the ones for the doodad players.
Even though it has AI, it looks as only the host becomes the troll in singleplayer.

Approved.

i've been playing this map on classic and reforged it seems after 15 secs or so the props will show healthbars and show them on the minimap is there a way to disable it

 

[purparisien]

the doodads see the healhbar, the killer doesnt. Dont worry

It does tho in mine wc3 – Google Drive

 

[purparisien]

Thanks for reporting that. I'm going to fix this asap.

 

[purparisien]

Version 1.05 is out :
-Reforged version
-New IU
-Units are hidden properly from the troll
-New music

 

[Kakerate]

Akaka's Prop Hunt simply had all "doodads" (really just units) show life bars. It would be fancy if life bars were only shown to some players, but I don't know that that's possible unless you have custom life bars. Anyways, I would focus on adding some new terrains in since akaka already fleshed out the concept a good 5 years ago.

Aside from that, little settings like Doodad Dispersion and the like are great for adding replayability! So if this was my project, I would focus on adding additional terrains and more settings like that. Good luck!

edit: I've given it a low rating for now because it seems to have been released with nigh-unplayable bugs. And maps have not been approved for much less than this. When you put out a new version I can change the rating =)
