[FINISHED] Spells&Systems Mini-Contest #14

[Luthion]

I don't know if i will continue, but just so you know i don't believe there are "normal" variables, there are privates and globals. Privates can be used in the scope in which they where declared, and globals can be used anywhere.good luck (this is of course for normal jass, but for vjass it's exactly the same, but there are different types of privates and globals)

 

[Eccho]

yea, well when I said "normal" I meant those without prefix, so I guess globals. you never said anything about publics though

 

[spiwn]

There are 3 kinds ... in Jass.
In C++ I think they too were 3(public, protected, private).
In Jass - normal(no prefix), public and private.
And this is not only about variables - function and methods too.
I updated my spell. Hope it is the last time, unless I find something else.
Spell

 

[Eccho]

ooo.... I have a question for you, nothing important though.
Why are you using that many methods, and inside the struct?
I thought to create it outside wth a regular function

Edit: And mwha I gotr a screenie right in time Spiwn, on your spell


I can only find one issue. And that is, that the spell can be abused. I didnt really get what it does every time it hits someone, but the special effect and lightning are there, when you use the "stop order" spamming. So I guess it could be only a minor thing if it doesn't get triggered

 

[spiwn]

I am not sure
I just decided to put as much of the functions inside the struct as possible.
I do not know if this way it would be better or not.
P.s. Methods cannot be used as callback functions

 

[redscores]

May the best win , hehe.

 

[terradont]

Couldn't have said it better! for me, i just want a good score. I don't have much hopes for my ability.

 

[redscores]

Yeah sure, of course I am the best :X j/k.

 

[terradont]

Haha, who knows? Probably better than me though.

 

[Eccho]

redscores and spiwn, I cant deny you two are my favorites in this competition

As it comes for my submission... it took sometime before I really started >.> It will hopefully be done in time

 

[spiwn]

I posted the my Idea somewhere above.
To put it simple the idea was that the lightnings appear before the attack.
But if you click stop or anything else, the effects are canceled/stopped.
The only chance of abuse would come from the fact that the actual chance is rolled at the start of the attack - someone might click stop until it triggers and then let it hit the target.
But that is extremely hard. The effects appear with a slight delay so the time interval between the appearance of the effects(the moment you'd know it has triggered) and the actual attack is kinda small(not quite sure about this; I meant - it is hard to know on which attack it has triggered before you shoot/attack/hit). What is important is that the only way you can abuse it is if you are an uber lucker, but hey the skill is one with a chance if you were an uber lucker it would trigger every time
And damage reduction is done when you hit the target.

 

[Eccho]

oh okay, thats making it all clear.

a question... If I make a timer, and starts it, can I feel like pausing it, is it possible to restart the clock with the time I set it when it started then, without needing to create a new one?? Because mine doesn't appear to work :/

 

[redscores]

Just detect the current time left of the timer before and save it in a real and start the timer again with the time saved in the real.

Quite easy.

 

[Eccho]

nono, you dont udnerstand I think. I want it, so whenever my trigger is ran, the current time of the timer shall pause, and it shall start all over. The "base" value is already defined as a constant real.

But I dont manage this to work

Edit: Redscores nice try but I figured out the problem :>

 

[spiwn]

Just start it again?
Using Get timeout(or whatever the name of the fuunction is) or the constant you want.

 

[gavdaman88]

Sorry for my absence from conversation, my harddrive crashed. The data was recovered but im having trouble reinstalling wc3 so the version of my spell on an earlier page will be what I am submitting, position leaks and all.

 

[spiwn]

Suddenly decided to put absolutely everything in the structure

 

[Eccho]

xO why?

 

[Razorbrain]

so the contest ends tomorrow at midnight(GMT) right?

 

[spiwn]

Because I learned how
But it seems less pointers to handles are used this way(hsas reached a peak of 555 compared to one much bigger last time with functions outside the struct).

 

[Eccho]

Hm well I think I dont bother that this time :_:

As it comes for my spell, here it is
Notice that this is kind of my first jass spell ever, so Im glad if you got comments if it's ineffective or such...

Programs/utilities used are Jass NewGen Pack, and PandaMine's HSAS Handle Struct attachment system

Everytime the hero is attacking a unit he will feel the taste of the victim's blood and horror. This allows him to savagely rip the target faster and faster while he feast on the spilt blood to heal his own wounds. After the victim has been hit for the 7th time the attack speed and life stolen will no longer increase. And if the target dies or if the hero is changing to another target he must slowly build up the savaged frenzy again.

Level 1 - 100% attack speed limit, adds additional 14% attack speed and 5% life stolen per hit.
Level 2 - 200% attack speed limit, adds additional 28% attack speed and 10% life stolen per hit.
Level 3 - 300% attack speed limit, adds additional 42% attack speed and 15% life stolen per hit.

 

[-Berz-]

I dont expect much of this spell. Its not balanced and it could really fuck up the game if some one would use it, the spell itself works fine, but if there are any other effects (movement speed bonuses*) it really fuck up the whole thing, also the trigger timing an the "real" timing dont match.

GL to you all!

[redscores]

Eccho, your spell remembers me on a dota spell (forgot the name) o,o. And a passive with life leech and stacking attack speed is overdone, but whatever.

 

[Razorbrain]

okay, here we go, hopefully there isnt something wrong with this verison

Curse of Mosh'Gah

Affects the target enemy with an ancient curse. If the cursed unit casts a spell, it will malfunction and the curse will be lifted. Once the curse is lifted, the caster will steal the spell that malfunctioned from the cursed unit. The caster will be able to keep the spell for 10 Seconds before it returns to the cursed unit. The curse cant steal spells the caster already knows or spells that transforms the caster.

Level 1 - The curse lasts 10 Seconds.
Level 2 - The curse lasts 15 Seconds.
Level 3 - The curse lasts 20 Seconds.

Things to know before you look at the triggers

1. Its supposed to be Begins casting a Spell event, i know the difference between Begins casting an ability and Starts the effect of an ability.
2. I used dummy units as "timers" becouse i just dont feel like adding 100 Timer events to a trigger(and that would take up memory space aswell)

 

[Eccho]

Eccho, your spell remembers me on a dota spell (forgot the name) o,o. And a passive with life leech and stacking attack speed is overdone, but whatever.

There might be a spell on Dota looking like this-.- But I dont play dota... And what do you mean its overdone? Imbalanced^^ Nerf it for your own ways, like, set the life stolen to a less value.

 

[redscores]

Overdone means that kind of spell has been made too many times.

 

[Eccho]

okay, well, I guess, perhaps, but its fine then... :/

Anyway you or spiwn will win anyways I think... I was just improving my jass =)

 

[redscores]

Haha, I am not so good at jass, well, but we will see.

 

[XieLong]

Finally I finished my entry spell... so, here I present

[rainbow]Matter Deprivation[/rainbow]

Tooltip

Adds a matter deprivation effect to each attack, shrinking the attacked unit by 12/24/36% and grow the attacking unit by the same amount. This effect stacks upon a maximum of 30/60/90% shrinking. Maximum life of both units will be adjusted equal to their size. The damage of the target is decreased by this amount but it gets evasion with the same chance. Last 5 seconds.

I hope you like it Anyway, critism is appreciated (and maybee quite justified -___-)

 

[Eccho]

XieLong is there something wrong somewhere in your trigger?

It appears, as when I attack a unit several times, suddenly the scaling is frequently scaling up and down.

Razorbrain: Don't you think you should add more targets on the map
Berzerker: It would be better if it was in jass... is it mui?

I've updated my spell... not much, only changed the name to not being "just another warcraft map"
It is still Here

 

[redscores]

Xie, the shrink and grow looks very odd, maybe make smaller steps between the resets....

Not too good of an spell i think. Original but not good done, in case, it has a odd look (the unit seems to constantly shrink and grow).

 

[Razorbrain]

okay, added a bit more units, but its still not very many

 

[Eccho]

And the contest is now closed =)

Good luck everyone and may the best one win

I am right, right ?

 

[PurplePoot]

Contest closed, reviews will definitely be up in a few days because then I'm on vacation in Spain for a month

 

[chenlimin]

on noes...I am always too late....

 

[Eccho]

Oh dang dude :/ Did you make the spell, or did you just find this thread recently?

 

[chenlimin]

Make it but i am in gmt +8 that's why I am never on time..... I am always asleep while all the action happen....

 

[Eccho]

ooooh... yea well I am gmt +2.

In case you didnt know you can see what the GMT time is currently, if you scroll down furthest down on the hive pages.

 

[PurplePoot]

Eh, I'm sure others won't mind if you post it now. If the majority agree to accept it in, then it's in.

 

[Eccho]

It's fine for me I guess. But normally it would be unfair.
I don't mind though

 

[spiwn]

I do not mind

 

[-Berz-]

Its OK with me, if you submit it.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

It's ok for me too.

 

[redscores]

For me too. We will see.

 

[Razorbrain]

[gavdaman88]

Cool by me too

 

[Just_Spectating]

[Eccho]

Gametime of Green-witch main time?

uh. witch... I think its the wrong word

 

[Just_Spectating]

i lost track of GMT.

 

[spiwn]

I just want to wish PurplePoot to have a great time on his vacation


P.s. This is not, by any means, an attempt of ass licking
