How can i make an invisibility spell(AOE DMG)

[Igor_Z]

How can i make an invisibility spell that deals AOE damage to nearby enemy unit. Like ''nerubian weaver's second spell'' on dota..

explain more?

 

[spiwn]

Weaver's Sukuchi (or whatever) is a Windwalk(maximum ms, lasts 4 seconds, cd about 8 seconds). What is special is that when you go through an enemy unit you damage it(a unit can be damaged only once per cast).

 

[Squiggy]

so basically adding immolation to a disabled spellbook and setting the collision to zero as long as the spell lasts?

 

[Razorbrain]

not really

this damage is made Once per unit. If you add immolation to a disabled spellbook it might deal damage to the same unit more than once

 

[spiwn]

Ww makes collision 0 if I remember correctly.

 

[Razorbrain]

yes, it does

Invisibility, however, does not in my knowledge

 

[Squiggy]

so phoenixfire with a 332142456 secs. cd xD

 

[spiwn]

Yeap, Phoenix Fire will do fine.
Low range, some damage, and big cd (Squiggy, I must spread).
It should be added to the triggering unit when the ability is activated.
Maybe as an item ability.
And removed later.

 

[Razorbrain]

well, that wouldnt work either, since the damage must be applied to those that the caster walks through and not those that are around

 

[spiwn]

Setting the range of the phoenix fire to the original collision size of the unit (maybe a little bit higher) will damage only those you walk through.

 

[terradont]

Technically, Shukuchi does not damage those you walk through, but those really close to you. How do i know? Becuz if you activate the ability when standing near someone they will instantly take damage.

 

[Razorbrain]

mostly, but it could work improperly

lets say this hero walks towards a unit. Now, if this unit was moving towards him, he would be able to miss the damage interval of the phoenixfire, right?

instead, i would use something like this(MPI though, but im guessing he wants it that way)

• Spell
• Events
  • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Group = (Unit of type Hero)
  • Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
    • Set Caster = (Picked unit)
    • Set PlayerNumber = (Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))
    • Set Group2 = (Units within 100 of Hero matching conditions ((((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is a Structure) Equal to False)))
    • Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
      • If (All Conditions) are True then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Picked unit) is in Group3[PlayerNumber]) Equal to False
          • (Caster has buff Wind Walk) Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Group3[PlayerNumber]
          • Unit - Make Caster deal 100 damage to (Picked unit)
        • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group2)
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

and then one trigger to clear the units from the group(you can actually include this is the first trigger, but anyways)

 

[terradont]

Y, thats somewhat what i thought of too.

 

[spiwn]

Lol.
Phoenix fire is the perfect, simplest, easiest, least lagging solution.
Set initial damage to whatever you want, damage per second to 0, AoE to something like 150-200, the cooldown should be something very small 0.03-0.04. I think duration does not matter. Or maybe it does - I will explain below.
Because only initial damage is more than 0, units will be damaged only once per the duration.
In addition to this, changing the missile art of the PF ability, will enable effects to appear at the units you pass through.
And yes, since the range of the PF ability can be(and should be) more than the collisions size of the unit, any unit standing near enough to the casting unit will be damaged too.
P.s. I really think sukuchi is done with a PF based ability.

 

[terradont]

Yeh, it would work, but is that going to be MUI? I mean, the spell does not work if you run through enemies, turn around and run through them again. With too long duration of the buff, should another caster be able to do the same spell almost at the same time at the same units?

 

[Razorbrain]

it would be MUI then, but not Stackable

 

[spiwn]

Not to certain.
Depends whether PF itself is MUI.
I think some of blizzards spells are not MUI (maybe they are MPI)
I am not sure about stackability (as in 2 units passing through the same unit at roughly the same time).

 

[Razorbrain]

yeah, but considering the buff needs to last atleast 4 seconds

but if its only 1 player that should be able to use it, No problem

 

[Igor_Z]

But im not so expirienced with variables so please can some 1 make this spell in a map and attach it here so i can download plz

 

[Squiggy]

I think some of blizzards spells are not MUI

You got to be kidding D:

 

[spiwn]

You mean they are all mui, or there are none mui

 

[Squiggy]

You mean they are all mui, or they are none mui

i agree to the second (while strings are not smui [single-user-multiinstanceable] xD)

 

[Igor_Z]

Can some 1 upload the map here so i can download the spell plz

 

[spiwn]

GUI or Jass?

 

[Squiggy]

But im not so expirienced with variables so please can some 1 make this spell in a map and attach it here so i can download plz

seems gui

 

[Igor_Z]

Look i just want you to make the spell. Not with JAAS or not with text i want to make it simply so i can copy it. Plz some 1 make it fast i need it

 

[spiwn]

I will make it later if no one else has.
You can copy jass too...

With jass, this can be way more efficient.
I used Unit stops casting an ability, as I am not sure when the buff of the windwalk will appear.
It is MUI.

 

[Igor_Z]

Thanks man i'll w8 if u can't copy this spell

 

[spiwn]

Wtf?
What are you going to wait for?

 

[Igor_Z]

Nothing man wrong text on reply sry... It works perfectly tnx
