Yo, this is probably my first post on hiveworkshop, but i have been around here for quite some time.
I'm creating an Arena Map only with heroes and items i make. I'm making the first hero right now but i'm having some hard time with the coding.
I wish someone could take a look at it and give me some hints about how to improve it and solve some bugs. I know i did some stupid things over there, like pointing a specific unit on the spell functions but i was just too anxious to start playing it (i mean passing to create the next heroes *crying* ).
Guess what? The thing is buggy as hell, and i just can't figure out a better way to save the attributes from the hero.
The skill descriptions for the hero are in portuguese, so i will describe them here alongside with some other debug functions to test the map:
The hero is basically a vampire that uses a "stacking" mechanic and life instead of mana. This stacking is called "THIRST" and keeps rising over the time, you can see a counter above his head. When reaching 100 (it's maximum) the THIRST will trigger an effect of conversion, weakening him. It converts his STR to INT until there is no STR left and his HP is at a minimum. Also, many skills use the thirst value for something, check it out.
His spells are:
Q - Suckying: From a short range, the hero will suck blood directly from the opponent draining it's hitpoints to replenish it's own. The damage calc is: A Fixed value per level (50 on level 1) + His INT. It also heals him for INT+THIRST. On FULL THIRST, this spell will cause double damage (But won't affect the healing rate it does, it will heal a huge amount of HP because of the increased INT).
W - Mist form: The hero becomes a mist-form creature and evades combat, increasing his speed and giving him evasion skill while the effect longs (A fixed value of 5 second duration for all levels).
This spell was hard as hell to do, basically because he didn't wanted to stop being able to use his spells while on mist form, and if he did anyways, he just keep getting himself trapped on the mist form forever, for some reason. I created a dummy and kinda solved it silencing him for 5 seconds.
E - Ocular Ray: He shots a electric ray on a target. The damage calc is: A fixed value (that increases per level) + His INT - Thirst. So the more "satiated" you are, the more damage you cause, in opposite of the Q skill. Also there is more, and i will explain with the ULT.
R - Demon Pact: It's a Attribute bonus with negative bonuses that trigger special effects per level on him, also make him slight bigger (the model).
Level 1: (-20 AGI, +5 STR) He gains 50% of his Thirst as movespeed.
Level 2: (-20 INT, +5 STR) He gains critical strikes of 1.5x damage ONLY when his Thirst is at 100. Also, at every critical strike, you have an 10% chance of triggering an "Reset All Cooldowns", so you'll have to be lucky twice to trigger the critical (25% chance) + When it crit, The Cooldown reset (10% chance).
I know its kinda OP but he's a god damned vampire, a predator. The lore on the skill says the more pacts he does with the underworld demons the more afflicted and bloodthirsty he gets, so i want him chewing his opponent's face twice. And the downside is pretty bad, since he'll be loosing STR per second while on this form, trying to get lucky.
Level 3: (+5 STR, to a total of +15 STR) His E slows the enemy now. Im thinking about giving him something more, but i think he's already strong enough.
Also, at every level of the ULT his Thirst and the conversion rate grows faster.
So, all i said here is already done but kinda buggy, i have been doing this map for 2 days or something, please test it out and tell me what do you think. And sorry for my bad engrish.
Some debug commands i made: -levelup, -enemy (spawns enemy), -enemyhero (spawns enemy hero), -sedefull (maximize his thirst), -showvar (shows the actual saved values for his STR and INT).
