Hell's Meat Grinder (Pre-Beta)

[oXReapeRXo]

Hell's Meat Grinder
Much like Footman Frenzy, Hell's Meat Grinder is a smiler experience, but more balanced. Also, long games will have a constant flow of more and more upgrades. There are also added strategical units that cannot attack but emit auras to either aid your troops, or hinder your enemy's.

Map Stats:

Terrain = 100%
Units = 90% (need testing)
Heroes = 60% (need spell ideas and spells, also names)
Aura Emitters = 15% (Need ideas and possibly some triggering)
Upgrades = 85% (Having problems with some units)
SoulShards = 100% Thank You redscores

Gameplay:

- Map is currently 4 vs. 4, but I will release new map variations after completion of this one.

-Hero level cap is 100, "super" spell is unlocked at 25, and each hero spell has 25 levels

-You get a melee and ranged creep every 5 seconds of gameplay, there are 17 tiers

-Special "Aura Emitter" Units can be purchased, and will eventually include secret recipes for more powerful ones.

-There are 12 heroes, and 8 total player spots. This is to discourage a hero from being in the same game twice (2 players with the same hero)

-You need Soul Shards to ressurect your hero, I'm working on the system right now but this is to prevent hero dependency. Mainly: When a unit dies there is a 1 in 5 chance it will drop a soul shard. You start with 0, each hero costs 5 soulshards to ressurect, and 10 to purchase. You can only have 1 hero. You cannot switch heroes.

What I Would Like:

-Ideas for Hero types names, as well as individual names.

-Some one whom is experienced in making spells. And some one who can say "hey I got an idea for a spell for $n"

-A model of Baal from Diablo 2: Lord Of Destruction (I will need this last, and I will be trying to make it myself. (I have GMax and the .gmax to .mdx script, however i would like a .Gmax format model of an unchanged WC3 unit to get an idea of poly limit and ect.)

Heroes:
These are all of the hero units I've chosen to use. All I really need are spell ideas, however I'd appreciate any suggestions on spell you've already created that you think would work good on a particular hero.

*Fire Nova-
What I wanted to do was send the Breath Of Fire effect starting at casting unit going out about a range of 1000 north, south, east, and west of unit dealing damage that upgrades each level for 25 levels. No extra effects. Unfortunately, all my attempts have ended in failure. I've started over again but what spell should I make this from? I tried channel but I can never get it to work right.


The map below is play-ready but has NO heroes and the Aura Emitters do not yet work properly. If you could look at what I've got and offer suggestions I would be very greatful. I WILL complete this map if it kills me. So any help you offer will be implemented.

Also, If you notice something I didn't give proper credit for, PLEASE inform me ASAP, I want to make sure every one is given proper credit.

Bump Reason: Updated Post, Added Map.

 

[redscores]

Soulshard Problem: Detect dying of an unit, take random number between 1 and 100, if lower as 20 create a soulshard at the position of the dying unit.

Jass Script for your needs (spawns currently tomes of experience)

function ItemSpawnonDeathConditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return (( GetRandomInt(1, 100) <= 20 ) and ( IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE) == false))
endfunction

function ItemSpawnonDeath takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit DyingDrop = GetTriggerUnit()
    call CreateItem( 'texp', GetUnitX(DyingDrop), GetUnitY(DyingDrop) )
    set DyingDrop = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Item_Spawn_on_death takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Item_Spawn_on_death = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Item_Spawn_on_death, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Item_Spawn_on_death, Condition( function ItemSpawnonDeathConditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Item_Spawn_on_death, function ItemSpawnonDeath )
endfunction

This gives a 20% chance that a enemy non-structure unit drops a tome of experience, just change the item.


And i am a spellmaker , i can do vJASS spells and such.

 

[oXReapeRXo]

Awesome thank you. However, how do you find the jasscode name for an item. My soul Shard item is custom, I can just convert Bundle Of Lumber if I need as i'm not using it for any thing else. I've never used Jasscode, I'm still attempting to master GUI. I was proud of myself for getting the unit spawns to work lol

Also I'm going to post all the heroes and a brief description. As I said I am a horrible coder, and I don't have any spell Ideas to try to code.

And thank you again. +rep w00t

 

[redscores]

Change in the object editor to raw codes, and you will see it then if you look at your former soulshard.

 

[oXReapeRXo]

do I replace gg_trg_Item_Spawn_on_death with the item name? I'm getting errors on lines:
1345 1346 1347 1348

 

[redscores]

no, replace 'texp' with the item name.

Name of the Trigger where you save that in must be Item Spawn on death.

If it wont work, pastebin the map and send me a link over pm to the map.

 

[oXReapeRXo]

Ok I did'nt give the trigger that name. And my custom item was 1000:lmbr, it didn't like that name so I just uses the origional lmbr and it works. Thank you again, thats a whole chunk of the game I'm glad I get to keep in lol.
