Hanky vs Paladon - The inofficial challenge!

Hanky versus Paladon
The inofficial challenge!

VS

Although this may be one of the probably weirdest challenges ever, we decided to challenge each other.
Our aim was to create a decent GUI spell, matching the following theme:
Dance!

Now it´s up to you!
Test both entries and decide on your own, which spell deserves your vote?

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Paladon, you get my vote.

That one is epic
I love the sliding effect.

 

[Element of Water]

I vote Paladon. Hanky's was buggy, but was quite good, but Paladon's was just awsome

 

[Septimus]

Hanky spell was funny and good looking, but it was buggy.
Paladon spell give me the impression of being normal or average, but it doesn't bug just like Hanky spell does.

Since this contest was aim at the effectiveness of coding, I vote for Paladon.

 

[Shanghai]

paladon u always make awesome spells leak free and very good i gona look at this when im coming home

 

[Yixx]

Imma check this out this afternoon ^^
BTW: Epic challenge =D,,

 

[scorpion182]

I like both ideas , but i can only choose one, so i vote Paladon.

 

[Hanky]

Well, hmm where's my spell buggy? Maybe if you cast it at the same location twice some units get to fast unpaused I'll fix that later. Two things that maybe could look like a bug that the anti caster units of the humans arent affected by the spell. Well that's simple to explain they are Magic Immune ... uhm I mean Dance Immune so the spell won't have any effect at those unit types. And maybe if a unit die and the unit currently got the attack move it could look buggy. But that's impossible to change... and with the effectiveness, both spell got the same effectiveness mine is even configurable and also we both use "nearly" the same indexing... But well it's your choice

Edit: Ok septimus said me what bugged I'll see what is wrong...

 

[Yixx]

Hanky: Spell is epic =D It is a real enemy crusher!!
Paladon: Seriously beautifull! Too bad you cant control the caster! (right?) =(
Hanky: I personally think you should make the caster not attack anymore, cause now he can still attack enemys,, (personal opinion!)
Paladon:

• Set TA_Group = (Units within 125.00 of TA_TempPoint[1] matching (((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and (False Equal to False)) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and ((Matching unit) Not equal to TA_Unit[TA_Integers[3]]))))

False equal to False?? Isnt that a little stupid? xD

Well,, all in all, i cant really decide =( Hankys spell is a real crusher,, Paladons spell is really beautifull! =D
So, im not gonna vote,, srry!

 

[Paladon]

Yeah, i removed a condition there, but Hanky said me that i have to finish the spell at 9pm. So i finished the spell at 9pm and did not remove that condition.

 

[Yixx]

Ok, Well, doesnt really matter, False equal to True would be the dumbest xD
And to both of you:
Really nice spells!! =D

 

[Avator]

I voted for Paladon, because I liked both spells, but Hanky's spell started to cause major lag when casted again when it was already in effect (and nearly froze the game when being cast while 2 are still active, which is possible). I suggest you check your triggers for a way to solve this or simply make it recharge faster

 

[-Berz-]

Hehe, epic challenge

I'll check the spells out, if I'll scratch out some free time D:

 

[Kingz]

@Hanky
Really nice spell i like it, nice collor changing and stuff^^,
@Paladon
Fresh idea, nice impresion of the spell and i saw no bugs or any flaw.

Though both entries are good, Paladon's coding looks better(no offense) and easier to understand^^
Anyway this is a tough call and i don't think i can vote for either one, at least not now, maybe for a day-two when i check the spells more.

 

[Septimus]

Haha.. Hanky doesn't seems to be familiar with GUI. 90% of his gui was using a custom script in order to execute it via JASS... XD

Seems like Paladon win Hanky at GUI, but I bet when it comes to JASS Hanky could easily overwhelm Paladon.. XD

 

[Paladon]

Of course he could.

 

[Hanky]

Haha.. Hanky doesn't seems to be familiar with GUI. 90% of his gui was using a custom script in order to execute it via JASS... XD

That's not really true. Paladon and I said for the create and destroy costum script is allowed. I just used costum script when I created the sound effects and the groups and at the start to remove leaking groups. The other costum script I used was for nullifying and destroying. That was maybe 25% of the code. But the executing part is in GUI

Edit: The mighty Paladon allowed to fix my bug thanks to him and so there's a new bugfree version. Enjoy

 

[MistAssass]

EPIC !!! ... kickass !

 

[Yixx]

Srry hanky, but i found one, well, sorta bug,,
When you cast if you are already dancing, you move like this:

Check attachment(),,

(yeah i suck at drawing and so on ^^)
Also you hear the thing he says (dont exactly know what) 2 times fast after each other,,
You might want to add some condition that checks if it is already dancing =),,

 

[Hanky]

I know that you are then moving like a rabbit at speed but that's not a bug. Just feel free to increase the cooldown. The cooldown is currently just so low for testing.

 

[Yixx]

But should it move like an M? I thought it was kinda weird,,
And the sound 2 times? Well,, if you say it is no bug, it isnt
And raising cooldown indeed fixes it,, =P

Still very nice spell =D,,

-Yixx,,-

BTW: Crusher spells ftw! =D

 

[Giantr]

For some reason I can't seem ot open Paladon's map, any sugestions?

 

[Hanky]

But should it move like an M?

Well yea, but the ability isn't made to spam it at one caster. How I said feel free to increase the cooldown. The current cooldown is so low to show that the spell work MUI.

 

[Paladon]

For some reason I can't seem ot open Paladon's map, any sugestions?

I´ve no idea why, someone else maybe?

 

[Hanky]

I have to announce that the vote is now finished. So how we can see Paladon won and me sadly lost. Anyway good fight good night.

 

[Yixx]

Well, to both of you: Good Job =D, are you going to upload it?

 

[Paladon]

Thank you Hanky, this challenge was quite funny and somehow entertaining.
I really liked your entry.
Well, i guess we could upload it.
(Although Hanky would upload a vJass version xD )

 

[Avator]

Congratulations to both of you, but to Paladon in particular

 

[Yixx]

(Although Hanky would upload a vJass version xD )

So what? =P,, It would only be more and more efficient! =D

Offtopic* : @ Avator, your Disco Chicken Map is really tha ownage ^^,, i have played it for 3 hours! =D,, NOT xD

 

[Paladon]

I posted the spell:
Let´s Dance! [Paladon] - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

 

[bounty hunter2]

Hehe I'l check this out tomorrow and post you my ratings in this post.

 

[-Berz-]

Ok, i like both spells, but Paladons make my PC lag hard, when more than 3 students are dancing. Otherwise works smooth.

I like Hankys, the color changing is just great and that funny sound

Paladons triggering is easy to read, but a lot of triggers that depends on each other.
Hankys triggering is "flat" but still good (i know you like Jass more )

But i vote for Hanky, seems hes tight with votes and I like his spell, no offense Paladon

 

[Paladon]

Lag?
Wtf.

 

[Saishy]

Even if the voting is over I vote for hanky, paladon system never make the sorceress stop spinning, and even dead she spins and after some time the skeleton become a "sorceress ghost" that keep spinning...

But hanky's hotkey wasn't working... I hate that...

 

[Paladon]

Waitwait.
The sorceress stops spinning.

 

[-Berz-]

Lag?
Wtf.

Understand that my PC is older than earth :S

Hehe

 

[Paladon]

@ Saishy

Someone else just tested it for me, and he verified that it works, the spinning stops after 5/10/15 seconds and corpses don´t spin at all.
I wonder what was wrong with your test?

Well, they didn't stopped for me...

 

[-Berz-]

Well, they didn't it me...

Um? -.-'

I don't understand at all "didn't it me"

 

[Saishy]

Um? -.-'

I don't understand at all "didn't it me"

typo xD

 

[xxdingo93xx]

I like both spells very much ... but Hanky's spell is some funnier for me ... xD

 

[Palaslayer]

sry paladon i vote for hanky

hanky: rly good spell but sometimes it bugs (as sais before)

paladon: the spell is not so senseful because the caster cant be controlled and he only crashs two or some number of students and then moves farfar away until u turn it off else nicely done

 

[HINDYhat]

Both of them are lame...

 

[Palaslayer]

lol now that is an opinion ^^

 

[Dynasti]

Both of them are lame...

What is it with you and other people

 

[HINDYhat]

But they are! There was nothing in either spell that made me go:
"Wow!"
or
"Har har!"

And I won't even dare look at the script...

I've got nothing wrong with 'other people'. I just like good stuff.

True that

 

[Avator]

What did you expect with a theme like 'Dance'? You can't play any specific animations, because it should be able to be used by any model.

 

[Rmx]

I will vote for Paladon coz i like GUI better than Jass also hanky spell lag on my PC but Paladon's Spells never lag srry Hanky GO GO GO Paladon

 

[Paladon]

Dudes, this challenge is already over.

Nevertheless, thanks Rmx.
