Hanky:
Once again good work. The use of effects are really nice. The triggering seems to be very good that for it's GUI. The triggering is leakless and MUI. Also the tooltip fit the spell very well. All in all really good work I just can recommend it for GUI users. This spell is for guys who want to learn or to improve their GUI triggering or just for guys who don't know how to import Jass spells correctly in their map.

Pleasy Hanky, have a understanding
I create a spellpack for nature now. I just need one additional spell idea. Then i´ll create a wind spellpack (it will include this spell)

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Ûber awesome.



(Did i play well?)

No, rly. This is simple, but cool. All thanks to Paladons GUI-KBS. (Mass rep him folks.)

[xxdingo93xx]

Hey man, stop stealing my task in making lightning spells ;D
naa just kidding...well, I don't have to say more than "5/5". ;D
Well, this is kinda alike to my lightning spell I am working on for TheBlooddancer...Gonna make a lot of ZzZzZap!- Spells for him ^^

 

[D1000]

This spell and your other spells are better than the most JASS spells here^^ 5/5 +rep

 

[TheBlooddancer]

I <3 ZZZzzzZZap dingo. Keep on!

And Paladon, try add more SFX, to your magics. (Uber)

 

[-Berz-]

Interesting
And yeah try to add more nice effects.
There isn't really anything much to say about it, because its really useful, and many people will find this handy since its MUI and leak free.

 

[Black-Zitro]

You make so cool maps Paladon ^^ verry goodGOOd

 

[Assassin_Jo]

y in my opinion its easy to make....coz i made a spell like this one...but the idea with the lightning strike is very fantastic...i think i should take this spell in my map ...but i would change something...

Please, look at the triggers!

A Verry good spell you have there that uses your GUI Knockback system. I love your spells and keep up the good work. Good job
Possible improvements: Maybe learn Jass?

It´s a bit too complicated to explain it here.
How´s about the pastebin or file hosting sites? Can you download things from such places? I´d give you a link to make a download for you possible.

 

[charlienguyen_1996]

Hey it's me again. I guess I'd like another link. Thanks for the support. How do you use the pastebin? Wow, I ask alot of questions lol. By the way, forgot to say how cool this spell looks.

[Assassin_Jo]

ok^^ i wanted to copy this spell in my map ... but it has so much values ...it takes toooo much time now i know that u took much time to make this spell

 

[Assassin_Jo]

veriables*

 

[Paladon]

It did not take much time to make this spell. And its pretty easy to import all variables if you enable "Create unknown variables by pasting triggers" or however its called, you find it under File->Presettings->General.

 

[ronaldo]

Great, just great. Paladon Gui > most other ppl Jass. +rep.

 

[neruda]

wow, good joob, you are the best paladon

 

[constellcreate]

Seriously Paladon, I am really impressed with your GUI skills. Great job!

 

[Fire and Ice]

This took a long time to import but was well worth the effort. 5/5. I now spend sleepless nights wondering what happens if a spell ran both Paladon's knockback and telekinesis system triggers simultaneously...hmmm

 

[FranzFerenc]

I love your creativity!

 

[Ungerbla]

Dibbs to have this on my map.

5/5

 

[Maiaencore]

=] I`ll Use it and Give Credits

Try to Use the Spell then quickly Press "S" (Stop)
It`ll Run the Spell and Override the Triggers
but wont use the abilities itself.

 

[Maximum_Evil]

looks frking awesome dude, will sure try it!

 

[ExZon]

Great spell overall. Nice idea and awesome effects.

But i found some rare bugs
- At test, three times in a row (Restart map) the trolls in the left corner resisted knockback
- And sometimes units hit by the knockback (mostly melee) is unable to attack (or just don't ) for a few seconds after knockback (1 - 1.8 sec)

Would be easy to fix, but if your knockback system is indeed bugged it would be a shame since your spells are awesome

4/5 -1 for bugs // very MUI Good Job

 

[Dimitri]

Very nice spell, but why all u do is relationed to knockbacks? I know u did all the triggers, they are super-awesome, but u need to create new things and new systems! knockback is getting old, and people dont really use it in real-games, cause knockback is too... OP, if u know what I mean, but GG triggers, 5/5 +rep

 

[RakEnRoL]

Simple but great spell.

Rating: 4/5
The spell is simple and clean
The special effects are well chosen
It is a good spell for newbies to learn with
It is MUI and Leakless
Its a good spell

 

[gorillabull]

neat spell although it would be even better if the creeps where set on fire or something but i get the idea

 

[nafre]

Cool Spell. Im using it in my map.

 

[kellym0]

I for one am very pleased that this spell was created, with out it, i would have never figured out how to create lighting effects between dummys in the air and dummys on the ground without useing custom script, or having the dummys invisible, you just set them to .mdl and they dont show health bars? WTF

this spells super useful, 8/10 i learned a fuck ton from this

 

[Solu9]

What a great spell! I have a question about it though. I have copied all the triggers, units and abilities needed for this to work, and it does indeed work.

But I would like to use this system for an instant spell where enemies gets knocked back from the caster. I have tried changing the LS_TempPoint[2] to "triggering unit". It kinda works but the enemies will always get knocked south.

So my question is: What do I need to change?

Cheers.

Edit:
Right, so Im an idiot. Of course I needed to change something in the knockback system and NOT the spell trigger...
I changed "Set KBA_StartingPosition = (Target point of ability being cast)" to "Set KBA_StartingPosition = (Position of (Triggering unit))"
And yes, it works now

 

[Trakya]

Approved but not triggers posted?

 

[KeepitMovinBaby]

Dang man, this was cool!!!

 

[HandsOfficial]

!!!This spell doesn´t use importet models!!!

what do you mean it doesnt?

Anyways I downloaded it: it imported smoothly as any other (hail the GUI kings. lol.)

only problem is the tree's (and supposedly bridges) being destroyed.
I assume you can turn this off? atleast the trees part

edit: i was able to seemingly delete the destroyed-tree's part. you cant cut it or disable it. you have to delete it. theres only one line of it too you will find it it is this: Set VariableSet KBA_DestroyTrees = True (i deleted it.)

BOTH IN THE (LIGHTNING STRIKE) 'page'
also i added a line of GUI:
Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 50.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

and changed this line (so it scales with agility)
Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (((Real((Level of Lightning Strike (LS) for (Triggering unit)))) x 1.00) x (Real((Agility of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

and it all works!
