Advice: 5 points are the highest rating and 1 point is the lowest rating.

Documentation: 5
Visual Effects: 2
Triggering: 4
Idea: 3

Total:

Well the spell is ok, but I don't like how you used the effects. It's kinda boring to create a "spam" of same looking effects, but that's just my opinion. The triggering was pretty good, the spell is leakfree and MUI. But there's also a little point which isn't good. You should add a "Preload-Trigger" where you preload the ability and the used effects, if you don't add this "Preload-Trigger" there'll be always this "first cast lag". The idea of the spell was ok, but it was nothing new.

To bring all this together, your spell could need some little work. Currently I would rate this spell with an useful.

Advice: If you didn't understood my rating or if you maybe have questions because you don't know how to fix bugs or leaks etc. You can always send a private message to me. I will answer as soon I got time.

 

[baassee]

Be gentle judging please. It's still my skills are on BETA stage ...

 

[Deuterium]

baassee... no offense... but i didnt like the idea... but it is well done... didnt check triggers cause im short on time...

EDIT:
btw... slightly laggy... lower the number of effects if u dont want to kill shittier VGA's than mine

 

[fico23f]

very good spell i will use on my map
Can i?

 

[baassee]

Will be updated later today. Thank you.

 

[calex3]

nice but laggs a little and it is little too big and black......

 

[woxx]

Holy Shit! Thats one badass explosion^^
Im going to use this for sure

 

[Deuterium]

yeah about the blackness... use an undead model instead of Chieftain

 

[Kingz]

You should change the effects and add preload, if you don't know how to add a preload, pm me...
For the effects i recommend using:
Abilities\Weapons\AvengerMissile\AvengerMissile.mdl
instead of the death coil, at least for the stomp eyecandy.

 

[baassee]

yeah about the blackness... use an undead model instead of Chieftain

The thing about it that I was using Black_Stans' chieftain skin but it took alot of space so unnecessary import.

Yeah Kingz going to fix the preload today just had to ask Hanky about a thing.

Edit:

The spell have been updated!

The screenshot doesnt show the proper one, press it to see the new one or check the in-game screenshot!

 

[dimitri231]

Woah, bad idea.and not original

 

[Deuterium]

WOW!! the new special effect! FUCKING AMAZING! baassee, the effect changed everything! (thanks to Kingz)

@dimitri:
- why do you have a negative attitude towards other people's spells? and no it's a cool idea

 

[Kingz]

If i am not wrong preloading for effects looks like:

• Set gfx1 = *effect string*
• Set gfx2 = *effect string*
• Game - Preload gfx1
• Game - Preload gfx2
• Custom script: call PreloadStart()

While preloading for abilities looks like:

• SOC Ini
  • Set SOC_TempPoint[0] = (Center of (Playable map area))
  • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Player 1 (Red) at SOC_TempPoint[0] facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
  • Unit - Add SOC Armor Dummy to (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Add Stomp Of Corruption to (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Add a 0.01 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_SOC_TempPoint[0])

When adding abilities add all the custom abilities you are going to use for the spell and when preloading effects be sure you don't use a variable which value is <Empty String> cause you did that, you created an effect from a empty string.
Also remove the sound playing, and manualy set the hero level and ability level to avoid the map initialization lag.
Just to let you know: Sounds also needs to be preloaded or they will cause lag the first time they are played.
Else the eyecandy is better now, just retrigger the preload trigger.

btw, knockback is sort of buggy, it doesnt only knockbak away from the caster:
- sometimes towards the caster
- sometimes to some random direction

 

[baassee]

yeah it's weird but thats if you move the caster after casting the spell during the knockback :S

@ Kingz

well dunno, fixing stuff, got it about the strings

Hiya

Well basic question about the preload once if I got it correct, just in map ini, create a point, a unit add ability to unit, create sp at point and remove all right?

I know about the first lagg thought you told me before about it in the poisonwave

Yes, exactly.

 

[Kingz]

I think that is cause the knocback isn't using a specific angle, it is using locations.
@baassee
Still remove the sound, it causes the initial lag which looks ugly.

 

[baassee]

havnet been updated yet

edit

Updated

 

[LsK_LaDyGaGa]

to fix knockback gltich

make it channeing mybe thatll fix him moving

 

[akblabla]

yeah it's weird but thats if you move the caster after casting the spell during the knockback :S

then fix it. But i have a sugestion what about making that the more enemies around him the less splash? and what about making if a sliding unit hits a tree then the sliding unit will get its slide speed reduced greatly and the faster he hits the tree the more damage he will take. The last sugestion is what about making some diffrent special effects when the ability has a higher livel? like Howl of terror special?

 

[baassee]

cant be fixed if I use a location, then I need x and y but I will try use it.

Well I cant really change the speed when it hits a tree, not my knockback system and have no idea how I should do that. Going to ask Paladon about that suggestion

My View of the spell.
Well u got ur rating 43.5 but i bugged it a little and played with it until it got 46
thus making it recommended ....... the spell seems very nice and the trigering is
fine i like the spell but the knockback seems bad i think it has to do with the angle
still like it

How to improve : Well fix the knockback make it more original

Well i will let u off with +Rep

 

[Arman]

thanks for spells +rep!

 

[xorkatoss]

spell is good and the knockback owns !!
but after you use it a couple of times it becomes laggy =/
maybe you could reduce the special effects to make it less laggy

 

[Kolomast]

wicked sick!!

 

[Bannar]

Spell lags at higher lvls if you gonna spam it. You should change amount of effects to fix the problem. However spell is good enoguht, MUI & leakless i give it 3/5.

 

[baassee]

lol just turn off the extra special effects ... also you can increase the range and aoe your self, reducing amount of splits

 

[Bannar]

Easy man, i just tell that your spell lags on higher level, and i'm aware of fact that i can switch off some of them. your spell is for sure decent.

Keep up good job!.

 

[baassee]

heh wasn't meant to be personal, just telling

 

[Adiktuz]
