Hero Contest #3 - Avatar

[Kingz]

The only thing i am revealing till the first WiP is the type of unit i am going to use and a skin from the THW im going to use:

Unit Type: Faceless One

Unit Skin: Link

Good luck to all of the participants.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

I'm done... i think i'll leak fix it... terrain it a bit, then i'll hand it in.

 

[Cr34p]

you know: Speed is not the main thing you should care about ... I would recommend you to create a "real" concept , since your actual spells won't stand a chance...

 

[s4nji]

Consider me as in If anyone see me posting WIP

 

[bee]

m-m-m...
1: can i use vJass?
2: can i use hero's themes - lightning for example or fire.?

 

[The Reborn Devil]

1. Of course.
2. You mean making lightning/fire/etc. spells?
Should be okay if you feel the hero you end up with represents you.

And please don't double post
Use the "Edit" button.

 

[bee]

Last question:
When I will complete a hero(map) where it to send?

 

[Pyritie]

Just attach it to a post in this thread.

Contest questions

Hello
Could one of the judges answer please:

The following aren't very clear to me from what I've read:

1) Is any map preferred, that heroes should be submitted in ? Some Blizz melee map, an empty map ?..

2) Names: must my account name be the class name, or could it be the name of the hero? Reason for asking: which looks better to you: "Pwnzor the alext" or "alext the Pwnzor" ?

3) Where exactly should the submissions go? attached to this thread, pm to judges or what

4) Would it be a problem if the given hero would be used in my map project after this contest ends? The hero's not there yet, since he's not done, but I intend to include it later on.

5) Is map "protection" an issue ?

Cheers

 

[Kercyn]

1) Usually, any map will do. If they wanted us to use a specific map, they'd post it in the initial thread.
2) Jeez, it's the same. alext the Pwnz0r sounds better
3) Attach your map to your final post
4) Noes?
5) Your map shouldn't be protected, so that the judges can look through your code and anything else they feel like.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

@xD.Schurke: I know - but i'm just so used to the editor, that creating nice heroes doesn't take all that long time. plus, i work the best, if i make it up as i go. I would deem it more than enterable, as how completed it is in my map folder.

 

[Pyritie]

1) Is any map preferred, that heroes should be submitted in ? Some Blizz melee map, an empty map ?..

Empty maps are fine as long as there are a few enemies you can kill. Something that adds more enemies or levels up/fully heals the hero automatically would be helpful too.

As for the rest, Kercyn's got it right.

don't overrate your knowledge , was just a tip so that you may stand a better chance in the end

Judges' opinions preferred

Thanks for the feedback, does one of the judges approve of Kercyn 's opinions?

1) Is any map preferred, that heroes should be submitted in ? Some Blizz melee map, an empty map ?..
2) Names: must my account name be the class name, or could it be the name of the hero? Reason for asking: which looks better to you: "Pwnzor the alext" or "alext the Pwnzor" ?

Ok, work-in-progress will sort things out for me anyway thanks

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Kercyn is correct.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

@xD: No, i know, i'm not in it to win it. I've numerous times wanted to enter. I just want to enter, with something, i perhaps flaw on purpose, (e.g not bothering to leakfix) just to have been in it.

 

[Cr34p]

hm kay... your decision

 

[cyberkid]

Well, perhaps I will begin

 

[Maker]

I'm in too, just need to come up with some ideas for spells. There are some things I want to try out.

 

[Chewii]

I only have 2 spells on my mind that im going to do.

1 (Passive) Gives a percent chance to knockback attacking units|n|n|cffffcc00Level 1|r - 5% chance that the attacking unit knockbacks.|n|cffffcc00Level 2|r - 7% chance that the attacking unit knockbacks.|n|cffffcc00Level 3|r - 10% chance that the attacking unit knockbacks.

Ultimate: When Chewii slams in the ground the ground will crush and all units in a x aoe will take dmg and they will be thrown up in the air and will be stunned for 3 seconds.

I will post the 2 other spells later.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

My final Entry!

Well, despite having a mental discussion with myself about xD.schurke's reasonable, and smart point-outs, I've come to realise, that I'm going to get very tired of this project, and just end up never sending anything. So better send it off now, than never, i presume. I fixed all tooltips and such, made it look great etc. etc. But here it is! For the lazy tester, just take a look at the screenshots of the triggered spells, (sorry, wave-one got cut :/) That i sadly uploaded in JPEG, since TIF wasn't allowed. Hope you like what i've done!

[Duruka]

Well, here's my WIP. Right now he only has an aura.

[Gamecrafter_DK]

That's a nicely done aura! i really like it! Just one thing; You might want to use a passive icon...

 

[KeLeNoR]

I might be in!

 

[MistAssass]

I am not sure that i'm in ! but here's my hero idea ...

Dilemma

... i hate making myself and i hate that my nick is incomplete (its actually MistAssassin) and i sound like the mist version of PedoBear ... T~T ... so if i join i have a request : ... may i use on the name of my hero the nick i actually wanted to have or the exact forum name ... or at least something like MistAssass(in) ...

[Freyleyes]

I think its ok to change your name a little, for example if your name is MagicTheGathering101 you can use Magic or Magic the Gathering, but not BigBull.

 

[Duruka]

That's a nicely done aura! i really like it! Just one thing; You might want to use a passive icon...

Thanks. I'll probably change the icons later.

 

[Chewii]

I have one question is it okay with two passive abilities?

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Chewii - of course why not? it says atleast 1 passive.

 

[krisserz]

The previous hero contest didn't even have a theme afaik...

Anyway i am in...

This one has? It`s same freestyle like previous one.

And I think I`m in.

 

[Elthehablo]

Good luckz allz!

Your first and ultimate skills sound a helluva lot like the first and ultimate abilities on my hero. They're not exactly the same, but the concept is almost identical. Just saying.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

How long joining, is opened? I want join but im busy this day and tomorrow.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

until the end.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Hehehe, thanks on answer.

 

[Chewii]

I have one new spell.

For every 100 damage dealt to Chewii he gains 10 damage which can stack up to 30/60/90 damage, but after 2/3 attacks given he loses 10 of the damage that he gained.

What about that huh i just need one more idea hmm..

 

[Kingz]

Your first and ultimate skills sound a helluva lot like the first and ultimate abilities on my hero. They're not exactly the same, but the concept is almost identical. Just saying.

Maybe because his ultimate skill is a passive which improves the 1st skill?

EDIT:

About the hero with the shock aura, you could just use 1 trigger and an equation:

Deal 5 + 5*GetSpellAbilityLevel() damage to ...

 

[Billy the Cat]

A note on systems/scripts:
Please post the systems you are using before you start using them so that the judges can tell you if that system is allowed. There were some mishaps in the previous contest regarding this issue and we do not want this to happen again.

Thanks for that one! I nearly wanted to comment about the system description before I scrolled down to the bottom.

My World Editor got killed by a virus and I'm too busy with real life so I perhaps won't be able to join in this time, but good luck to all contestants!

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

I have to get ideas. But guys what you think about this? Assassin throw an orb on targeted point and when orb reaches targeted point, assassin will be moved to position of orb, but that unit has ability to switch action of orb and it is able to create illusion on starting point or on targeted point, if is illusion on targeted point, your unit will stay at same position. Any coment?

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

It doesn't appear passive to me. But even if it is, this doesn't change anything.

 

[Kercyn]

Chewii - of course why not? it says atleast 1 passive.

Oh crap, I just saw that! My hero was intended to have 5 or 6 abilities, one of them passive. I didn't want to use it, but I guess I'll have to think of a new one. Bah!

 

[Duruka]

About the hero with the shock aura, you could just use 1 trigger and an equation:

Oh, didn't know I could do that. Thanks.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Yeah... remember to use the correct amount of abilites.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

CAN'T BE GREATER THEN 4? ahhh, i will not use greater then 4,

 

[Kingz]

It doesn't appear passive to me. But even if it is, this doesn't change anything.

K i was wrong.
His ultimate improves his first skill by empowering it...

It isn't the same skill by a far shot it only improves the first skill and makes a nice synergy.

 

[Kercyn]

Here's my first WIP. Only one spell completed so far (only a few details remaining). I'm working on Moonlight at the moment. Credits will be given, don't worry. Of course, even the 1st spell is incomplete; that's why it's a WIP
Names will change, descriptions will change, tooltips will change etc etc...

Anyone answer or give suggestion?
How will i post ability?- on a post or pm someone?

Just attach your map containing the hero to a post in this thread

 

[Chewii]

I know my last spell guys!! But im not sure if i can do it tho :S i'll try it wish me luck lawl ^^

Name: Bloodrage

When you uses this spell Chewii will loose 1% of his hp but in return he will get 20% more attackspeed lasts 10 seconds. And you can click on it so many times you want! Then my char will be imba i mb should change from 20% attackspeed to 5 or 10
Thanks for reading all my spells. If i can't do this spell then i will post another one

Regards Chewii

 

[Duruka]

Alright, I'm a noob. I can't find this trigger. Only "5+5". But not the rest. Or do I have to use a custom script?
