[Trigger] Help with Invoker's Deafening Blast and EMP

[ImmortaL_GoD]

I have no idea how to make these two, you obviously only know what I'm talking about if you have played Invoker from DotA and used these spells. No one seems to know how to accurately make these and I need serious help with them. Any idea how to go about both of them?

 

[Numerion]

hmm...On this site is a lot of peoples who know this BUT that hates DotA so if you can please explain those spells

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Hm, ok, I'll try. Well Deafening Blast is like a wave type move (except I believe the Gargoyle missile scaled is used) which knocksback/silences all enemy units it comes across. EMP is a move where he summons a ball (purge ball) at a targetted point which gradually builds up getting larger than explodes in 2-4 seconds burning 50% mana I believe and 0.5health for every mana point burned.

Who on this site are you sure could do this?

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

[GhostWolf]

Anyone with a brain.

 

[BoneBreaker]

When I get access to a working keyboard I will help.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Are you looking for GUI or JASS? If jass, do you have JNGP?

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Anyone with a brain.

Why don't you demonstrate your supposed superior "brain" and create both correctly then?

When I get access to a working keyboard I will help.

Ok, thanks.

Are you looking for GUI or JASS? If jass, do you have JNGP?

Preferrably GUI, yes I have Newgen.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Does it need to be MUI? MPI?

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

MUI? I guess. Doesn't matter though.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

If it needs to be MUI then it will be extremely difficult without jass as far as i can tell.

for deafening blast, does it target a point,unit,or none?

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Point. And nevermind, don't need MUI or MPI.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

With some talking on msn i've made a concept of deafening blast.

http://filesmelt.com/Filehosting2/downloader.php?file=deafeningBlast001.w3x

Research tooltips currently say default ability tooltips
Still not MUI/MPI
based entirly on description
does not increase silence period with level
made in GUI (2 triggers)
Silence uses default ! bubble buff icon (i dont know what "special icon" is)

let me know what to change/if this is what you're looking for.

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Damn, thanks a lot man, I'll try it out.

With my program, I successfully conceived the Invoker spell "EMP" from DotA Allstars v6.56. My program has very slow arithmetic, so I cannot concieve Deafening Blast for you. However, I'm sure this suffices.

Note: My program does everything (but function name changing) automatically, therefore the following JASS code may or may not be 100% correct. Also, the "raw codes" of spells are in their decimal form. I haven't added the ability for my program to "de-numberize".

The main spell code:

function ManaReduction takes nothing returns nothing
    local real r = RealComparison(RealComparison2(GetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(), UNIT_STATE_MANA), TempReal), 0)
    local real n = r * 0.5
    
    if AbilityLevelComparison(GetEnumUnit()) == false and r > 0 then
        
        if GetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(),UNIT_STATE_LIFE)>n then
            call SetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(), UNIT_STATE_LIFE, GetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(), UNIT_STATE_LIFE) - n)
        else
            call SetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(), UNIT_STATE_LIFE, 1)
            call Damage(TempUnit, GetEnumUnit(), 1, n)
        endif
    
    call SetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(), UNIT_STATE_MANA, GetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(), UNIT_STATE_MANA) - r)
    endif
endfunction

Why don't you demonstrate your supposed superior "brain" and create both correctly then?

Because I'm not going to touch GUI.

Blablabla... everything you said... zzzz...

You do notice that that code is coded like ****, right?

 

[Razorbrain]

If it needs to be MUI then it will be extremely difficult without jass as far as i can tell.

Not really though

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Because I'm not going to touch GUI.

JASS is fine, just said I would prefer GUI, but meh.

And thanks a lot Bone, damn that was pretty long and REALLY complicated. Also the Wex, Quas, and Exort stuff wasn't necessary, just needed the base spell. I'll attempt to decipher then apply all that but dunno. =/

 

[GhostWolf]

That crap you see is DotA's code, and it's one of the worst coded piece of crap I ever saw.

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Yeah, I figured with "DotACache" and everything... was that directly copied..?

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

IceFrog has no brainz if that's true =D

I'm having a hard time believing that is his code though @_@ I know for sure I could make that same spell exactly with 1/2 the lines and probably more efficient and I still use GameCache attachments lol

It's a copy of his code, and it's known that DotA's code is equal to ****.

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Anyone else willing to try this?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Mh for the exactly trigger I will need some time...
But the idea is:

1. Make a dummy unit with the model of the farseer attack.
2. Create a trigger which creates this unit at the point of your ability
3. Enable a periodic trigger which increases the unit size of that dummy unit.
4. Create a trigger which end this periodic trigger and kills the dummy unit.
That trigger must pick every unit in range of YourChoice of that dummy unit and deal:
Damage to them/set their mana to ~%

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Ok, that's cool. And with Coke's it was awesome and everything, but I was wondering how in DotA they make the missile go like straight through the units and just knock them aside?

 

[GhostWolf]

Locust.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

thats not what he means, and i already helped him

basically you need some trig to calculate which angle the dummy would be facing if it was facing the picked unit, then move the picked unit that direction+180 degrees instead of towards the direction the dummy is going

 

[PurplePoot]

Going straight through them is locust.

Anyhow, ripping DotA's code is fail, both because DotA's code is one of the textbook examples of how not to code, and because it's stealing if you do so.

Also, why not think of unique spells rather than copying DotA (Although the silence wave, except for the silence part itself, is a rather generic line knockback)?

Anyhow Coke, check this out and see if you understand it. I should probably rewrite it, but meh.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

go straight through them is already done in my trigger, he's just confused by the way it works (the dummy appears to be "pushing" the units)

I read your tutorial, but it seems like a rather drawn out process when you can just do it in jass >.<

 

[PurplePoot]

I'd never recommend GUI over Jass, but some people like GUI, and some don't know Jass (In this case, he seems to want GUI).

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Well i made the EMP basic triggers for you...
If you want to add more levels just add some ifs to the trigger "EMP end"
like if (level = 1) and so on..

If it helps you plz give reputation

Pastebin? -.-

Thanks a lot man, seems to work fine. And just wondering by is the 0.5 damage per mana burned in DotA done simply with Unit - Cause EmpEMPUnit to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal?

Also, I already said I woulda been fine with JASS, tbh.

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

mh I am not sure about the emp in dota right now... Does it burn mana per second? I always thought it would burn mana when exploding...

IF it burns mana per second add the "set mana" to the EMP working trigger... (care it will trigger every 0.25 seconds)

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

No, it's like your's. The tooltip just reads "damages 0.05 health for every mana point burned."

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

mh if you want that you need to change some things...

The trigger I gave you burns away half the mana of the units and deals 100 damage...
Just edit it like you need it^^ If your not able to tell me...

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

You actually had it perfectly right I think, as burning 50 mana = 100 damage. But I was just asking if they manually implemented the values, like that in Dota, or not. Have you played DotA?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

50 mana? where did you find that value? The spell I made burned exactly half of the units mana...
What do you mean with "manually implemented the values".

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Er... that's what I meant, 50% =p. And I meant a generic trigger causing damage. "Do you play DotA?"

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Sure I play Dota... I bet I could beat you^^ (bnet account Erzengel_Azazel or dual.Azazel) wisper me^^

mh there are different ways of dealing the damage..
You could make a unit damage an area... I dunno which is the best one..
But I chose the pick every idea because I can set the units mana with that too...

Edit: What do you think about the "newer" versions of dota... this god damn new map design is just a big piece of shit -.- there was no need to change it...

Kunnka is (or was dunno) imbalanced...

And the new items are stupid too... phase boots are much to cheap...

(Last version i played was 6.56 i think...dunno whether there is a new one so far)

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Do you play on East?

How would you do Deafening Blast? The same as Coke (assuming you looked at his)?

Eh... I like it kinda, the whole new gank and juke spots is a good incorporation although might be going overboard with it all.

Yeah, Proudmoore is lame as hell even though he got nerfed, it's a bitch laning vs. his retardedly high AoE cleave.

Phase boots are retarded, I love newbs who get them on like every hero now to seem like they're good.

It's 6.56b I think, Proudmoore got nerfed.

Also DotA is a team game, but I still doubt you are better than me or could 'beat me'. =p

EDIT: Do you have AIM/MSN or anything..?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Deafening Blast is much more complex than EMP...
But I have a look at it.

I am playing warcraft on the europe server^^
but I can play on east.

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

And the AIM/MSN or anything question...?

And yeah, play on East or we can GGC if you have it. =p

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Ah damn it... forgot about the msn thing...
I pm you because this is not for everybody...

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Could someone help me with this EMP trigger? Trying to make the trigger do damage per mana burned, not just a constant 100 dmg how Azazel made it. Like .5 damage per mana burned.

• Emp End
  • Events
    • Time - EmpTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off Emp Working <gen>
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of EmpEMPUnit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of (Position of EmpEMPUnit)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) / 2.00)
        • Unit - Cause EmpEMPUnit to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal
    • Unit - Kill EmpEMPUnit

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Mh should be easy:

In the trigger that burns the mana use a variable to save the mana BEFORE it is burned.

Then burn it.

Now you go like:

Deal damage(mana stored in variable - mana NOW) x 0.5

The difference between the mana before and the mana now is the burned mana..

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Yeah, but I couldn't set a variable to the units mana for some reason =/. So I was thinking could Integer A/B work?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Yeah, but I couldn't set a variable to the units mana for some reason =/. So I was thinking could Integer A/B work?

???????

You must be able to set the mana into a variable... (i think it must be a "real")

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Ah, there we go, thanks a lot. Was using integer, just needed to know that function, heh.

Would this do it: Unit - Cause EmpEMPUnit to damage (Picked unit), dealing (0.50 x (Mana / 2.00)) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal

?

Also, when do you use the Integer functions then?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Well it WOULD work if you burn half the mana. I was not sure wether you burn half the mana or a value. But its ok.

Integer is a "number" which is used for mathematics and so on. Counting...

Real is (i think) a value used in the game like life, mana, movementspeed and so on..
