[Spell] Ideas/Requests?

[Zaio]

Hello hive! Recently i have a lot of spare time and want to code some more spells for the hive.

Are there any ideas and/or spell requests any of you have? Unfortunately my mind is not very imaginative, and i would appriciate ideas very much. Any idea given will of course be creditted when the spell is uploaded.

Please give as much detail as possible with ideas, every tiny detail will help me shape it the way you imagine it. For requests, it would be great if a video or picture could be supplied.

Any spell made will be very configurable for your maps.

Regards,
Zaio.

I want a spell for potions to restore hp/mana based on str/int respectively over 10 seconds. It's for an RPG.

There are 5 tiers for each potion (hp/mana)
Fixed amounts are: 60, 120, 180, 240, 300
Stat based restore: 80%, 160%, 240%, 320%, 400%

The stat % is restored based on the total duration of the potion, and not each second.
Means: If the hero uses a Potion (Level 5) and has 100 str, the potion should restore Fixed amout -> 300 + 400 <- Stat %. = 700 Hp over 10 second = 70 hp x sec. During this effect the unit has the same rejuvenation special effect the skill has.

Of course, MUI =).

Moin moin =)

Well you can spend your free time as you want, but I think this is the "World Editor Help Zone" isn't the correct one for such requests.

But at all - you should say how good your are! You just now GUI? What's about jass and vJass? Are you able to create spells without any external libraries?

Greetings and Peace

Sure i'll do this for you later i may need to pm you later though for more information.

Well, im not making a request so this is the place this should be i believe. No i do not code in GUI, i code in PURE JASS. Check the spells in my signature, they arent that advanced but they are nice none-the-less. I am able to create spells without external libraries, but it is generally better if i use them if needed, i would rather have a spell with no errors that a spell with 1 unlikely error.

 

[Gopinich]

Yay! You are good!
But I prefer making spell by myself with the help of another than "All credit goes to someone" blah blah
But if you want I can send you a ton of spell idea! I'm too lazy to make all of those.

Hello there Spartipilo! I have done this request, see your private messages.
If anyone else is interested in this request of his, please send me a private message for a copy.

 

[Dr. Boom]

Yes I want see it =)

Edit: Why you make it private at all? Just share the code with us =)

 

[Gopinich]

Yay! Is now my turn ?

Mad Scientist

Anti Matter Crafting

The Mad Scientist using his knowledge of Anti Matter and the soul of all unit within 300 range of target point of this ability, he craft X Anti Matter where X equal to the number of soul. Each AM stored increase his damage by 1. Max 100 damage.

Light Blending

The Mad Scientist throw some of crafted AM in to an area, blocking sight in and out that area. Only him have the sight in that area. Deal 100/200/300 damages to anyone get in or out that area.

Matterial Vacuum

The Mad Scientist using 3/4/5 of crafted AM to void the dimension around him. If the damage deal to him get through one of these AM, it will be blocked and that AM will be removed. After 20/25/30s, the remaining AM explore deal 200 damage each to the Mad Scientist.

Last Breath

Passive
After dying, all of the crafted AM will explore, dealing Number of Remaining AM x 10/20/30 damages each and attract into center all unit within 500 ranges.

Well Gopinich im more making single spells and possibly systems, not making entire heros lol.

 

[Dr. Boom]

Is it allowed to improve your spells? =O

 

[Spartipilo]

Dr. Boom, i would say: "Yes". As Zaio said, he's making 'Simple spells' Any further improvement should be allowed if the user requires it. Having a Spell with shared credits, is better than having a spell no one uses

 

[Zaio]

Yes ofc it is Dr.Boom, i am doing this to help people, if they need or want to alter it, its fine by me i just provide the base.

 

[Dr. Boom]

Well, as you allowed it, I'll post my little way, which includes a little more configure things, shorter code and also a little more speed as far as I know

> Note: Care if you test it with the map of Zaio - I use a little different item rawcodes for this!!
> Other note: The main thing Zaio, why I don't like your code (nothing bad - don't mind me for this!!) is: Imagen when the map has over 10 heal and 10 mana potions - then you have to create for everything a function - I handle it in a loop^^

[Zaio]

call DestroyTimer(t)

Should be using TimerUtils.

call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(t,Player(i),EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_USE_ITEM,null)

You may as well be using EventBJ here.

As for the rest of the code, im afraid i can't comment. I do not know vJASS, i merely provide strict JASS code.

 

[Crayons]

damage barrier.
Projectiles are bounced off.

e.g: Dragon spell effect circling unit, damage doesn't touch unit, projectiles bounce off, and melee attackers receive damage.

quite easy except the projectiles bounce off part, I need that.

 

[Zaio]

If you think it is easy other than the projectile bounce part i suppose you know how to trigger? Here is the code for deflection angles used to make the bounce part

// Returns angle in radians
function GetDeflectionAngle takes unit missile, unit target returns real
    return 2.*Atan2(GetUnitY(target)-GetUnitY(missile),GetUnitX(target)-GetUnitX(missile))+bj_PI-GetUnitFacing(missile)*bj_DEGTORAD
endfunction

// Wrapper, returns angle in degrees
function GetDeflectionAngleDeg takes unit missile, unit target returns real
    return bj_RADTODEG*GetDeflectionAngle(missile,target)
endfunction

1) No! no TimerUtils here - I discussed it already - I can use it, when I pause the timer first before destroying =)

2) Well .. I code like "down with every red line and bj" ^^

 

[Zaio]

Not all "red lines" are bad you know most are yeah, but EventBjs arent.

If you have any critic or ideas - just let me now =D

The same thing I was wondering about Zaio's system:
1) Will it crash if potion is used on a non hero unit? <- Must not.
2) Is it MUI? <- Must
3) Do effects stack or are override by the 2nd use? <- I don't want them to stack. Its not realistic.
4) Can the potion effect by disabled? <- I need to disable Health Potion if the unit is under the effect of aky kind of poison, and Disable Mana potions if the units is under the effect of any kind os stun.
5) Later I'll create Rejuvenation Potions which heals both, Mana and Hp at half of the rate of the original potions, and can't be disabled. <- How to add that?

------------------------------

I don't want to do something complicated just because I want to. I want to make it more realistic. Health Potions are like 'Medicine' and works better if the hero is stronger. Mana potions are like... 'Drug', and increase the focus of the hero, but the effect gets override by 'Dazyness' = 'Stun'. The 'Rejuvenation potion' is just to improve gameplay. <- Are really expensive, dropped, have half of original potions effect but can't be disabled, and works for mana/hp at the same time.

1) Im not entirely sure, in the pm i said it will but actually i dont think it will, i believe the str stats will return null so it will just times null by 4.0 resulting in just the normal potions heal.
2) Yes mine is MUI
3) Yes my effects stack and will not be overrided but can be easily changed
4) Yes it can with simple editting
5) In my code you could just do another elseif i2 == 'id' then, then in the code you could make another boolean set to true, in the loop if the boolean is set to true (both hp and MP are on) then restore hp and MP, else do the normal effects.

All the questions you asked are the exact same in his code, all hes done is remaked it in vJASS.

I know Zaio I already knew your answers in the PM, and I already knew your system. I'm just following Dr.Boom's idea of Improving it, since he wants to, and giving him ideas to improve, since he asked for. =)

@DR. Boom.: Something is wrong with your trigger. Having a hero with 20 Str and 140 hp, using level 1 potion having 28 hp it healed to 140 inmediatly, and kept healing over the 10 seconds. - The effect appears whenever I use any item, and not just potions...

@Zaio: Your System doesn't heals me at all The only thing I changed was the potion Raw codes, and 'udg_hash' for 'udg_Hash' since it's the name my Hashtable variable has: udg_Hash.

 

[Zaio]

If you use udg_Hash then you must replace ALL usage of udg_hash with udg_Hash, else it will not save the values for healing. The test map works just fine so it must be something you have done wrong.

Also, if udg_Hash is not initalized at the start, change the line at the bottom from set udg_hash = InitHashtable() to set udg_Hash = InitHashtable()

EDIT: Did you add TimerUtils? My timers use that. If you did not import it, it will not start a timer to loop through the effects, in fact it would leak cause it would create the things in the hashtable without clearing it. Check your mail for one of the ones i sent you earlier, the instructions have TimerUtils in somewhere.

 

[Spartipilo]

I added TimerUtils and replaced all the udg_hash for udg_Hash.

 

[Zaio]

Then prehapps an error with the item IDs, make sure they are the right IDs and that u arent using the wrong item in-game. Post the altered code here so i can take a look.

So now I'm back and sorry didn't look at this what you wrote - I just recode my code a little but and see what I got:

Note:
I use a dummy unit, to cast a dummy ability on the user, so he can't use the item again when he used (I understand this what you say with non stack)
I use an array for the debuffs, because you can sort them by type, but since there can be other effects that should interrupt the heal, an array is the best way I think

And no, when a unit use this item, it will not crush, just the stat math will return 0 - so it only gets the basic value.

Note: Just to make it clear: Why the hell you are so obsessed of TimerUtils? First of all when you want use an external library for timers use T32! (faster, better performance and better coded) but second: Why the hell you want use an external library anyway when you can do it without?
That's just senseless wasted memory =O

Greetings and Peace
Dr. Boom

 

[Zaio]

Well, im obsessed with TimerUtils because

call DestroyTimer(whichtimer)

is buggy, and i dont use T32 cause according to maggy its terrible xD

Its hardly wasted memory anyway

 

[Dr. Boom]

Zaio ... read the next lines carefully okay?

> Destroying the Timer isn't buggy, if you pause it first (to avoid this bug) and null the timer (to avoid this bug (other then the first))

> TimerUtils is bad coded ... well not bad but out-dated. I used this external library too, because I was to stupid to use an own timer.
I know it can be useful, but it's even worst then having an own timer.

@ Gopinich: Hope you read this, because at least I want try to code your things you want there (only see if I can handle things like this ^^)

== Anti Matter Crafting ==
1) Is this an AOE cast?
2) Should the AM stay for ever? or for a time? they are gone if the hero dies?

== Light Blending ==
1) When a unit enter (damage). When a unit leaves (damage again)? When the unit enters again (damage too)?

== General ==
1) But I just can make the AM no existing ... I can't think of letting 100 AM's flow around the hero .. this would be a little bad

 

[Zaio]

Code things your way, ill code them my way. This is becomming more a conflict thread than a help thread.

Yay! Thanks!

== Anti Matter Crafting ==
1) Yes, it's AOE cast.
2) They are gone only if the hero dies. If hero has "Last Breath" spell, they'll cause effect.

== Light Blending ==
1) I'm thinking about it. Maybe only one time when enter and one time when leave.

== General ==
1) Of course it isn't existing. But Material Vacuum calls 5 of these to fly around the caster.

I'm coding these spell in GUI, but I get mess with Hashtable when coding Material Vacuum.

 

[Kno_Mad]

I have one. I don't particularly need it for anything at the moment, but I have always thought that a 'force move', with multiple unit knock-back should be made. So, its like a ripple that blasts out from the hero/mage in a widening wave, knocking back all enemies it touches. (its as if a Jedi did it with The Force! XD)

 

[Zaio]

Not really sure i understand what it is you're asking, can you elaborate please?

 

[Kno_Mad]

Imagine something like Crushing Wave or Shock Wave, but combine that with the "knock-back" ability that someone like DotA's Barathrum has. So, it can be used as a means of crowd control.

Could be useful in a number of other ways. My personal favourite is for a mage unit as a means of crowd control. Just blast 'em away with force. (low damage, larger area, with option of getting stronger) Or, you could 'zero it in' a bit and make it a narrow and powerful wave that knocks enemies (like heroes) further away (or closer to someone/something).

need more??

 

[Zaio]

Do you mean like Typhoon in world of warcraft? Do you want it to be a circular knockback around the caster or just a line knockback like shockwave, but with knockback?

 

[Kno_Mad]

yeah, pretty much.

in a line is cool, but preferably in an expanding wedge if possible... starts narrow at caster feet, widens as it moves further away from caster. (so the area of effect is like a triangle in front of the caster)

 

[Zaio]

So exactly like Typhoon from world of warcraft... Sure i'll work on it when i have some spare time, just started a project

 

[Kno_Mad]

yup, pretty much... ; )

Sweet thanks!

Also, I have a few more ideas if you want me to keep 'em coming...

 

[Spartipilo]

Kno Mad! That spell already exists in the Spell Sstem. I can't find it right now, but there's the system to bash specific unit, group of units around target point, or units around the caster, in all directions.

EDIT: Btw, I'll check again the Rmk of Dr.Boom system, and check if i Imported Zaios System again. Also, there's no probem if this turns into a discussion forum, since it is always related to the creation of spells for other users

 

[Kno_Mad]

really? thanks for the heads-up. couldn't find anything when I searched last... If you do find it please post a link!

Also:

so here is another thing I'm struggling with a.t.m, made a thread already, but if anyone wants to have a look.... trying to make it in GUI, should be possible just struggling.

 

[Spartipilo]

Kno_Mad, I already made your Fire Station system and added it to your Forum.

This is the link for Knockback skill: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...174502/?prev=t=65&r=20&d=list&status=a&page=3

It's easy to use and edit.

I don't know what i am supposed to place in 'Debuff'...I don't get how this works or where to put my custom data... I tested and saw that it heals though the effect remains even when I die. But i'm not sure about how it works. Also, there's no buff on the unit. How to know if i'm under Healing, Mana or Rejuv potion if there's no Buff?...

What I meant with 'No stacking' is: If the hero is under Healing Potion Effect, and uses a Mana Potion, the First potion effect is override by the second potion effect = The unit stops healing, and begins regenerating mana. Same with using potions of the same type.

Are my idea too hard for you?

 

[Zaio]

Well Spartipilo that code looks absoloutely fine, it should be working. Double check your item IDs again to make sure they are definately correct, and that you are using the correct item in-game. Also, if you are using it on a normal unit try using it on a hero and see if that makes a difference. Make sure you created the globals required by TimerUtils. If you are saving specific values in the hashtable every here and there (e.g. 1 of 1, except not those particular numbers) its possible, but unlikely that that might be the cause of the problem, but you should and probably are using handleids.

An obvious question: Do I have to create a Hashtable, and then set the TimerUtils_hash variable? because I didn't.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set TimerUtils_hash = (Last created hashtable)
    • Custom script: set udg_Hash = InitHashtable() <- This is the Hashtable I use for the quest.

Doesn't work anyway.

 

[Zaio]

No you do not, it is declared within TimerUtils

function InitTrig_TimerUtils takes nothing returns nothing
        set udg_TimerUtils_hash = InitHashtable()
    endfunction

I'm not entirely sure why you can't get it to work im afraid, it should be working as it seems from my point of view. However, the system works perfectly in the test map i sent so there has to be something you're doing wrong.

EDIT: Theese are the ITEMS ID you added right? Not the ability ID the items use, because otherwise that is the reason it is erroring. Also, are you using it on a non-hero unit?

 

[Spartipilo]

In your map the Heal Over Time works... but the hero having 46 str, the potion heals 10 x sec.ç

EDIT; Oh yeah, that's what it's supossed to heal xD

EDIT: Your system has this

function InitTrig_Potions takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_USE_ITEM )
    call TriggerAddCondition( t, Condition( function Start ) )
    set udg_Hash = InitHashtable() // <------------
    set t = null
endfunction

but I already have on map init:

• set udg_Hash = InitHashtable()

Could that cause a problem? (Shouldn't, I guess)

 

[Zaio]

That won't matter, you should remove one of them because they both init the hashtable at map start, but it won't cause the error, all its doing is starting the hashtable 2 times at the exact same time.

 

[Spartipilo]

Shouldn't the formula be.. 'easier'? I can set the potion HP same than the potion level.

And use formula: (I don't know jass, but you'll know what I mean)

set Heal == ((60 x (GetPotionHp)) + ((0.8 x (GetPotionHp) x (GetRealStr(GetTriggerUnit))) / 10)

And heal that amount every 1 sec per 10 secs?

And make some kind of:

- GDD_Event becomes equal to 0.00
- GDD_Damaged Unit has buff A, or, B, or, C, or, D
- Stop Trigger?

 

[Zaio]

Using potion hp using a very good idea due to how units can damage items and leave leaks when they destroy them (unless you use Bribe's item cleanup)

Im afraid unless you're willing to send me the map, you're going to have to figure this one out on your own. I can not help you further unless i have all the details and can see how your map works.

 

[Spartipilo]

Items are untargetable, and i'm using Bribes Item Cleanup

Having that formula makes it a lot easier for me (and the system) to customize than creating a variable for each potion, and else.

The thing is... your system is ok. It works in your map, should work in mine since it's the same thing. only changed 'h' for 'H'. Maybe

 

[Zaio]

The way i have done it will be the easiest way mate, you just need to copy what i have done in the code to add your own stuff, there is a pattern which you should see, which is easy to follow. The only other way i can do what you say is to use a loop, and even then you will have to alter a lot of other stuff.
