Ohyea!
This looks fun~~
Trying...single player (T>T)
This map really needs good observation while playing dota

Answer by pressing Y or N, wouldn't this quiz map be more versatile if you've made it like other one's where you would type in the answer? Posting changelogs here would be good as well as on the other threads.

 

[RaijinSpark]

or maybe add some questions other than Y and No? like multiple choice or something? dunno the map is fun but it gets boring and boring later on.

Well, I actually thought of giving typing answer but that will make answer choice too wide (like "Faceless Void", "Darkterror", "Darkterror, the Faceless Void" should consider all right)...

About changelogs, I'll post it now (I skipped it because I didn't know about BB codes here lol)

or maybe add some questions other than Y and No? like multiple choice or something? dunno the map is fun but it gets boring and boring later on.

Hmm... k. I'll try to make one for multiple choice as well.

You need a lot more than 86 questions, also answering time should be between 5 and 10 seconds. So players can't minimize wc3 and cheat, or just print 2 word pages with right answers

Map has bugs, if you answer wrong, you are able to answer right sec after that, and vice verse...

I saw that you removed special effect leaks and few groups, but you should destroy unused triggers with next function call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

Also there is no need to protect map, I don't need even to deprotect it to be able to steal string informations from it!
(Or should I say, questions and right answers)
Leaving map unprotected we can help you even more!

And for the end I dunno how rules on play dota work but you are not allowed to double post here in public forums!
I will ignore this one and new map version bumps but just to inform you!

About the number of questions... yeah, that's the hard part... I need much more than those but good questions don't came to mind that easily...

About the bug.... hmm, I'll fix that.

Thx 4 the info about destroying trigger. I'm still noob in this kind of stuff (especially in JASS... I'm still using more GUIs than JASS)

About protection, well, yeah, it's not so needed for small size maps like this but I would like to keep it there. And it significantly lowers map size anyway. Also, about the questions and right answers, well, they can take it easily but once the questions becomes pretty lot, looking at them will be pretty useless.

About double post, forgot that the last post was mine

the map is ok, but there are few bad facts in it. If you answer the question wrong, and if nobody in 5 seconds answer it correctly, you actually win, cause then, you do know the correct answer. And, Bounty Hunter DOES NOT use imported model. Check all draenei units and you will find him there.

He uses...

He got a custom model that looks like the default Akama model but it has bigger selection box because the defaul Akama model is just impossible to click...

 

[-Kobas-]

You can change selection size in WE...

Hmm, as far as I understand it now, the model is same, but some verteces or whatever they are called are added just so it can be selected. How does Blizzard's campaign work then? It uses that Draenei hero Akama...

Read it before asking stupids...

The model of the Akama doesnt have the selection box thingy BUT it can be selected still by clicking the model itself. And this means that you NEED TO CLICK RIGHT TO THE MODEL, so its sometimes tricky to click it because Akama runs like.. You know. So thats why they added custom Akama in Dota so it could be clicked without always having to click the model itself. You can click other models normally even if u didnt hit the model itself.

This quiz is intended to be a multiplayer quiz where first one to get correct answer gets the point. This quiz is matter of both SPEED and CORRECTNESS. That's why it only has 2 answer (Yes and No) and all questions are relatively simple BUT tricky (like the case of Bounty Hunter )

I could make incorrect answerer to unable to answer again but that will kinda slow down the process of the game which makes it feels more boring.

 

[Vunjo]

Ok, I understand it now. In that case I vote for approval.

 

[-Kobas-]

Just simple remove spells when player answer yes or no.
Add them back when new round is starting.

Or you can as well hide unit and un-hide it.

I was thinking just make it disable other skill on using... (since it's based on channel)

 

[-Kobas-]

That can work as well

This map gets extremely boring after answering a few questions. I suggest of adding different style of questions. For example, make multiple choice questions and/or add questions where you have to answer the question by typing out the answer. Because as far as to just pressing 2 buttons the map later on carries on to be a matter of who presses the Y or N button quicker. At the end, the map just loses it's purpose. Overall; the map is not bad itself just needs a little bit more work and creativity on it.

This is great yeahhh now i can battle my friends into DOTA

Hmm... I'll try working on it. I've been rather busy lately because of university life (and personal "fun" ).

I'm thinking two way of improving the fun. By either making a 4 choice questions or make different type of answering (like typing, double clicking unit) also some random events like reverse (yes becomes no and vice versa). Haven't really decided which one should I choose.

EDIT : Currently finished updating questions and removing trigger leaks. Still thinking about the "additional" fun factor.

 

[hellboys12345]

Fun game. But i think mana or score should increase by some points.

Hmm... That might work as well... Though the score should be constant, the mana gain might be increased as the time goes on. Will think about it
