Why not make the 360 Configurable?
XD

 

[Magtheridon96]

People were bothering me to make something new

Those people must be terrible ;D

 

[Kam]

The only thing holding this back for me is the lack of detection for deep water and doodads.

 

[Tank-Commander]

That'd be an object editor attribute, prehaps play around a bit with the movement type and you might get what you want?

 

[BUP]

Why you updated it?

 

[Tank-Commander]

Because Magtheridon asked me to add more comments to the script, so I did and showing such in the description and the code when downloaded requires an update

 

[BUP]

I know now,,I'm just asking because I'll be using your spell in my Map,,Don't worry I put you in the credits
Wanna test my map??

 

[Kaito Kid]

I tried your spell (and also chaos singularity) but I am having an issue.
With chaos singularity, when I cast the spell the obelisk does not appear, but later the lightning appears and the effect still works (damage and stun)
I have the same issue with this one, where the drag and the explosion work but no sun or any effect (except final explosion).
I think I know where the problem comes from, when I imported the models they are saved as .mdx but my unit editor can only set up .mdl as model files, so that is probbaly the problem, but I don't know how to make your .mdx files into .mdls so that my editor can use them

 

[Tank-Commander]

You don't need to modify the imported file path or do anything to model, the editor will automatically recognise it, consider the following: have you set up the triggers correctly? i.e. in the config is the dummy unit and the effect paths correct? if you copied the triggers -before- copying the dummy unit then it's likely that an error occured and the config is incorrect

 

[Kaito Kid]

Actually I copied the unit and spell before the trigger, but the config was still bugged (every time I import a spell this happens) and the unit and spell are not the right one anyway, I have to change them manually, but I have already done this, otherwise the spell wouldn't work right?

Well anyway I found the problem, for the dummies at the model line it was something like dummy.mdl and dummy1.mdl (yes, both spells used the same dummy so I had to replace one of them in the trigger and the imported file) and I just had to change the line from "custom --> dummy.mdl" to "imported --> war3mapimported\dummy.mdl"

Your spells are awesome man, I can't understand anything how they work but they're cool, keep up the good work

 

[hachiman]

hi...i'm a newbie & just downloaded your spell

the spell's effect works fine, but it can't drag my enemies....

 

[BUP]

Another one got error importing your spell

 

[Tank-Commander]

If the import instructions are followed correctly, there's no reason for it to not be working, If -no- enemies are being dragged but everything else works perfectly, then it's possible there was an error due to importing order, or somesuch occurence.

If there -is- no mistake on the importing method, then there's really nothing I can suggest, as it'll be the same as it was in the test map which works perfectly fine.

 

[hachiman]

yea...after few tries it's working now....

thanks, this spell is really amazing!!

 

[iamjaycee_18]

Hello

I want your spell.... helios colision... but your spell has no effect for flying units.

you can see that your spell doesnt drag them. thank you

 

[Tank-Commander]

I know, the spell isn't supposed to effect flying units - the effect would be really strange and not really work if it did

 

[iamjaycee_18]

ok.. !! BTW im using it now on my map

 

[TheDiscoKing]

Is there a way to disable the enemies jump? By the way, Awesome spell!

 

[Tank-Commander]

Try setting blast cap to 1-50 (or something equally small) Will more or less disable the knockback explosion (there'll be tiny knockback and effects but they'll stay within the AOE of the spell)

 

[TheDiscoKing]

Nevermind, I ended up loving the spell. Thank you!

 

[Burning Legion]

Need your help, Tank-Commander

Tank-Commander, I like your spell very much!Can you please show me how to create a spell in which only the huge explosion in the end of the spell(The model file of the explosion is: Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\NeutralBuildingExplosion\NeutralBuildingExplosion.mdl)is created on the target point of ability being cast and damages only enemy units also including trees , buildings , air units and even invulnerable units.And also, please show me how to adjust the radius of the explosion and how to create other special effects on invisible dummies and how to adjust the radius of the special effect. Please help me!

 

[Tank-Commander]

A tutorial would be able to teach you much more so than I would, not to mention the lack of time to do so. just look at some of the tutorials we have around - a few of those should be able to show youwhat you're looking for.

 

[Burning Legion]

Thanks! If I may, I have one more question, how do you create the explosion only after the invisible dummy unit reaches its destination? How do you make the computer detect this?

 

[Tank-Commander]

By detecting the distance from the starting point to the end point, then constantly updating how far it's travelled, and when reaching it (distance travelled being greater than or equal to to max distance it will travel) detonate

 

[Burning Legion]

Can you please show me that in the form of triggers? I'm new and don't understand much.

 

[Tank-Commander]

It's a form of artifical wait, view the artificial wait tutorial for an example (just instead of it waiting for time, it waits for distance to be covered)

 

[Burning Legion]

What does Temp mean? Does it have a full form?

 

[Tank-Commander]

Temporary

 

[Burning Legion]

When I create an invisible dummy , create a special effect attached to the origin of the dummy , and change the size of the dummy , the special effect becomes more unreal , fake , edited , and the explosion looks more like a fire now . How do I change ONLY the radius/blast effect/length of the explosion without affecting its height or size?

 

[Kam]

The issue I have is that the explosion sends units into places where they will be stuck, (deep water, groups of doodads).

 

[AGD]

Nice spell. But there is one problem I've noticed regarding configuration on units allowed as target.

• (HC_TempUnit is Magic Immune) Equal to HC_ConditionConfig[2]

This for example, you cannot configure the spell so that both magic immune units and non-magic immune units can be allowed as targets. It only allows either of them but not both.

maybe you should do it like

• Or - Any Condition is true
  • (HC_TempUnit is Magic Immune) Equal to false
  • (HC_TempUnit is Magic Immune) Equal to HC_ConditionConfig[2]

and same for the other conditions.

How come data is recycled at stage 2 and 4? i'm having a hard time following the triggers' logic

 

[KILLCIDE]

There is no data being recycled at Stage 2.

• Custom script: set udg_HC_TempX = GetUnitX(udg_HC_Core[udg_HC_Index])
• Custom script: set udg_HC_TempY = GetUnitY(udg_HC_Core[udg_HC_Index])
• Set HC_CurrentAngle[HC_Index] = (HC_CurrentAngle[HC_Index] + HC_FireOrbSpinSpeed)
• Custom script: set udg_HC_Angle = udg_HC_CurrentAngle[udg_HC_Index] * bj_DEGTORAD
• Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_HC_UnitIndex[udg_HC_Index], udg_HC_TempX + udg_HC_OrbDistance * Cos(udg_HC_Angle))
• Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_HC_UnitIndex[udg_HC_Index], udg_HC_TempY + udg_HC_OrbDistance * Sin(udg_HC_Angle))
• Set HC_TempPoint = (Position of HC_Core[HC_Index])
• Unit - Make HC_UnitIndex[HC_Index] face HC_TempPoint over 0.00 seconds
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HC_TempPoint)

 

[Xerxes]

@KILLCIDE oh man im sorry i seem to have gotten lost in the code. Stage 1 was longer than i thought. if i may rephrase the question, why is data being recycled at stages 1 and 4? Wouldn't it be the same to recycle everything after stage 4? Why only do it at those stages?

 

[Henry_AC]

Epic

 

[Hellscream34]

I have a problem with the map :c I'm new and I don't know what the variables TempX and TempY mean, could someone help me all the credit to God who made this incredible ability : D

 

[KitsuneTailsPrower]

I made an updated version of this spell that uses Dummy Recycler and KB3D. It is attached if anyone wants it.

Does it work with version 1.30?
