looks nice, testing it latter...

This map is very very good but just to messy which very wreck"s it...

FreeWayLemon · Mar 8, 2011

And with messy you mean?

Mumbis · Mar 8, 2011

I found some errors..

Fixes?

1st of all, the items..
The health potion heals WAAY more than 500 as it says.
The "Teleportation shard" which grants you bonus damage, why give it stacks?
And sometimes the bonus damage doesn't apply.. (if it even does at all?)

Spells:
Hrm, Maybe arrange them a little better?
Like: QWER ?
The firehook is on the Q place with the Q hotkey, the icehook is on the W place with the E hotkey and the teleport thing is on the E place with the W hotkey and the lifedran.. doesn't have a hotkey.
And imo, the icehook is totaly useless. First of all, it bugs when pressing it.
My mouse cursor dissapears when I press it, also when it's cast, it just goes a VERY short range compared to the firehook.
The Teleportation skill is kinda.. OP but I guess it's okay since everyone got the same?
The Lifedrain is also totaly useless, make it as strong as any other ability you've made or just remove it and add a short stun or something..

Also to the triggering:

TELEPORT

Events

Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to [W] Teleport R

Actions

Unit - Make (Casting unit) Invulnerable

Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.01 seconds of radius 500.00 at (Position of (Casting unit)), dealing TeleportDamage damage of attack type Spells and damage type Lightning

Wait 0.01 seconds

Unit - Make (Casting unit) Vulnerable

You should always start any ability trigger with "Starts the effect of an ability".
Otherwise, you can bug them ingame.

Also, try to clean up every leak, just so that you know how to and that you don't miss any of them laters or something... Example:

Leaks

Here as you may see, i've added a simple custom script that removes this trigger when it's done:

Initialization

Events

Map initialization

Conditions

Actions

Melee Game - Run melee AI scripts (for computer players)

Visibility - Disable black mask

Visibility - Disable fog of war

Camera - Change camera smoothing factor to 1.00

Quest - Create a Optional quest titled Modes/Commands with the description This Commands must ..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\WorldEditUI\Editor-MultipleDoodads.blp

Quest - Create a Optional quest titled Hints with the description Your hero will revi..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\WorldEditUI\Editor-MultipleUnits.blp

Quest - Create a Optional quest titled Hints with the description Make sure to buy it..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\WorldEditUI\Editor-MultipleUnits.blp

Player - Set name of Player 1 (Red) to (|cffff0000 + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) + |r))

Player - Set name of Player 2 (Blue) to (|cff0000FF + ((Name of Player 2 (Blue)) + |r))

Player - Set name of Player 3 (Teal) to (|cff00FFFF + ((Name of Player 3 (Teal)) + |r))

Player - Set name of Player 4 (Purple) to (|cffFF00FF + ((Name of Player 4 (Purple)) + |r))

Custom script: call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() )

This will save you some memory and prevent lagg that may occur.

Also, i've found some position leaks, like this one:

Red

Events

Unit - Hawk Eye 0001 <gen> Dies

Conditions

Actions

Wait 5.00 seconds

Hero - Instantly revive Hawk Eye 0001 <gen> at (Center of Gebiet 001 <gen>), Hide revival graphics

Camera - Pan camera for Player 1 (Red) to (Position of Hawk Eye 0001 <gen>) over 0.00 seconds

Fix it like so:

Red

Events

Unit - Hawk Eye 0001 <gen> Dies

Conditions

Actions

Wait 5.00 seconds

Set Temp_Point = (Center of Gebiet 001 <gen>)

Hero - Instantly revive Hawk Eye 0001 <gen> at Temp_Point, Hide revival graphics

Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

Set Temp_Point = (Position of Hawk Eye 0001 <gen>)

Camera - Pan camera for Player 1 (Red) to Temp_Point over 0.00 seconds

Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

You've got lots of point leaks, but this shouldn't matter I guess cuz of your size of the map. I'm just lettin you know.

And last but not least, I found something to totaly overbugg the teleport extra damage with.

TDURed

Events

Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)

Conditions

(Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to Ancient Shard of |cff7777aaTeleportation|r

(Owner of (Buying unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)

Actions

Set TeleportDamage = (TeleportDamage + 250.00)

This says that you can buy a shard (you get the bonus) and drop it (still got the bonus) and just buy another one?
So you actually don't need to carry the shard to maintain the bonus damage? maybe it was your intention to do this, but.. well, state so if it is.

Also, some kinda important leaks to fix??

prio

For example; this trigger creates 4 leaks every 100th sec:

Hint3

I think i've said everything that's important and a little more?
I'll give you a 2/5 rating for now since the map is kinda sloppy at the moment..
Fix everything i've said above and i'll give you 5/5
There shouldn't be to much sloppy or lazy mistakes in a finished map :O

Yours, Mumbis!
+rep if I were to any help!

EDIT:

Kobas review!

Show it!

I tested map and I was a little disappointed, why because I saw:
- 2 many special effect shown on screen!
- Very bad triggers with wait action and memory leaks!
- No ability descriptions!
- Big file size (8.218 MB for war3mapImported\The 'GOD' Fist.mp3)!
Remove sound file or use some audio tool to shrink it!

Basically map is about 4 units (4 players) that can cast hook and few other spells without description!

Oh I saw some items, simple no custom ones!

Please add credits to hook spell creators, remove overused special effects, clean leaks from map, remove Do Nothing and Wait trigger actions, add custom created spells like hook and I will approve this minigame!

Map status: Rejected (Until Updated)
Please if you decide to improve map just update this one and send message to us, we will unlock thread for you once again!

He also stated that you should fix the leaks, so do it, and perhaps you'll get approved
Start with that atleast.

Heya!

First, I was intending to let the Shards stack to save inventory space.
The potion must have been a typo, going to fix it once I am working on the map again.
Good point with the ability positions... havent thought about it yet.
The life drain will be replaced, I know its kinda senceless.
I was working on the icehook, it was supposed to drag items too you and freeze your enemys.
I thought I fixed the bug with the dissapearing mouse, going to fix this...
Teleportation is OP for now, as I was planning to add 'upgrade items' for the hooks aswell.

For the triggering part, I am aware some of them leak, I just havent had the time to fix everything. You even showed me some I didnt knew of...

Thanks for the review!

Mumbis · Mar 9, 2011

Here's your fix!

Well, I just got so annoyed on all the triggers, so I fixed em for you!

CLICK HERE

Click above to get a leakless version of your map!
Same map, same shit, nothings changed, except the fact that my little "fix" version does not leak
Feel free to take it and upload it as the real version, just give me some cred for fixing your triggers ^^

I hope you get to learn something out of this to

/Mumbis

FreeWayLemon · Mar 10, 2011

Wow thats awesome!
I am currently unable to work on my map, someone already asked me to fix the leaks but this is just awesome!
Sure you will get credits!

Edit: Added you to the credit list!

Mumbis · Mar 11, 2011

@FreeWayLemon
No problem ^^ Just.. was kinda bored, and I thought like "Hey, lets help this dude out"
Since I think your map is awesome, and it's a shame it should be rejected :/

/Mumbis

Edit: Thanks!
Just tell me if you need help with anything else!

xorkatoss · Mar 11, 2011

very nice map i like it 5/5

Bug
You can't target a zombie with the hook ability
but if you use the ability near the zombie you can grab him
and pull it to you and you take gold-exp but the zombie is not killed!!
this bug shouldn't be hard to fix so good luck on that

FreeWayLemon · Mar 11, 2011

Heya!

Thats not a bug
The zombies/peasents are supposed to block your hooks off without dying.

and you take gold-exp
Click to expand...

What do you mean by that? Zombies arent supposed to give you gold/exp after being killed.
Going to take a look as soon as possible.

Thanks for the review!

Vengeancekael · Sep 8, 2011

Review update: Approved.

Damage · Dec 21, 2011

Huh, how about that. 'The "GOD" Fist' from the 11eyes soundtrack. Haven't heard that in a good long while.

Cozythrias · Apr 29, 2012

Too much lag, remove way too many effects, atleast add a mode that disables that many stupid useless effects. + not much time to enter the modes. False rating by 1 voter. Hope you make it better next time.

----------	FreeWayLemon Presents	----------
	Hook Extreme Created by FreeWayLemon/DWGPenj5 Map Info: In this map you have to fight in a small arena as a mage against other mages with powerful spells. For example the 'Fire Hook' which literally grabs your enemies and draw them to you while dealing a nice amount of damage. The main objective is to kill 50 enemy mages. Features: A working AI which casts 'Chain Lightning' at you(Has to be a slot occupied by a computer) Meteors are falling from the skies, which deal damage. The mysterious mage will cause a huge explosion each 2 minutes at the middle of the map which deals a lot of damage. Some Items which might be useful. 4 different spells(Fire Hook, Ice Hook, Teleport, Life Drain). 3 Modes: -np to remove peasents/zombies -ni to remove all shops and disable money gain -eg to remove 'Kill Gain' Endless Game 6 different items which spawn somewhere in the arena every minute! Credits: Models: Explosion model from Will the Almighty Vortex model from tomv8 -Kobas- for his awesome description Template DWGPlasmos for Life Drain and Fire Hook spell! RaijinSpark for the 'Upgrade Skills' idea Mumbis for fixing the leaks! Special notes: This is the 'Extreme' version of the original game (Hook Arena) which was created by DWGPlasmos who dropped his map due to several bugs which he couldnt fix. He asked me to fix the bugs and allowed me to finish his map. Also all of the spells except Teleport and Ice Hook are made by him. Hook Arena -> Hook Extreme Changes from Hook Arena to Extreme There were Falling Stars instead of Meteors There was no mage which caused a huge explosion every 2 minutes There werent ANY items lvling was quite difficult No AI No screen effects/shaking camera No tile changing during the game No Ice Hook No Upgrade Items The AI only uses Chain Lightning as it seemed like impossible for me to make it cast anything else with my triggering skills. Changelog and Credit list of the first version of Hook Arena till this version is also in the Quest(F9) menu of the map. Screenshots and Videos Note:The screenshots of lvl 1 and 2 hook are both OUTDATED!!
