Necrotic Beam Ver. Knavish Kookaburra

[Devalut]

it creates a full blown unit and moves that unit around. if i attack it, it recreates it at same hp. if i kill it then it doesn't respawn.

I copied it in the same order as the install guide. I hate to trouble you but if you want to look at the map here it is, the trigger is under folder Extra -> Imported Spells -> Necrotic Beam: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-GmrLH2xgdzY_QrGTNeVIhZ7zR2yKw0O/view?usp=sharing

Nonsense, no trouble at all, in fact the reverse, I'm sorry for all the trouble this is causing you.
This is caused by blunder on my end.

Just change the Royal Guard tower to the variable EyBe_Config_D_Type.

Ah i shoulda caught that on my own. Appreciate your attention. Thanks.

Without your input that would be a nasty timebomb that would be sitting there for well over a year.

Is it possible to change the visual effect from the lighting to smth else? Like lasers or smth of the sort? I tried tinkering around with "Laser Hit Effect" and "Laser Butt Effect" but it didn't really change much aside from the tip of the laser.

Ah, I see, sucks that it has to be one of those though, I think I can make it work.
Thank you!!

What do you mean?

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

What do you mean?

I wanted to do like a spray of bullets as the projectile, but all the ones listed are all lasers or beams.

 

[Pyrogasm]

It could be modified to do that if you take some initiative.

Hey sorry to bother after you created this years ago! When I downloaded the test map, it didn't provide the same lightning effects as preview on this post. It looks like the spell does as intended except the green beam does not appear, I only see a green ball at max range.
Is there something I am supposed to enable on wc3 editor in order to support this or where in the trigger would I look to correcting it? I ran both texts triggers from this post and from my map on textcompare.org and the only difference is my spell has 10 lvls and deals more damage.

@GodPoro
I'm so sorry to hear, I'll be happy to look it over.

Edit:
With 10 levels it still seems to be working fine on my end.
I"ve checked and my triggers match yours.

(ignoring the tooltip damage not being correct)

Do you mind posting your map?

 

[GodPoro]

This is my current map, I'm working on to gain experience on map making. I didn't make it a testing environment but if you need me to do that I can resend a new map with like a hero and enemy on the field or something to test it out. (I'm not sure what proper etiquette is for this type of stuff)

 

[Devalut]

@GodPoro
All good,
Seems your triggers are different, and strangely they are different than the ones you posted above?

Change this 0 to a 1
What's happening is at the start of the trigger the index is +1 (or just 1.00 if it's the first instance.)
This Condition then never fires because it's never going to be 0.

 

[GodPoro]

I'm so sorry for wasting some of your time, I think I sent you the wrong one where I made a duplicate (I triple checked on the triggers right before sending this time). Even with having that fixed line I run into the same issue where the beam is not constant. My biggest concern is that on the test map attached to the post it still doesn't work as shown either, which makes me feel like I may have something set up wrong but not sure what it could be.

 

[Devalut]

I can't seem to replicate the issue.
Are you running in HD by chance?

 

[GodPoro]

Solved

I am, is it supposed to be SD? (showed my preferences) Also have "JassHelper" and "vJass" enabled, if you can use it correctly means I definitely have something setup wrong.
Would it be related to this popup that happens whenever I open wc3 editor? (view second screenshot)

I was using reforged graphics once i switched to classic, it worked. is there a way to make reforge support or just an unfortunate event?

The spell was made before I had access to HD assets for testing.
Lightning is very different between SD & HD.

Ah, life drain instead of mana burn seems to work:

Also another reforged fuckup on deactivation drizzle is special effects via triggers:

Modify the special effect by adding the highlighted line to the effect when a unit takes damage from the beam:

 

[GodPoro]

It works now!! Thank you so much for the quick fix.

 

[Devalut]

I'm so pleased to hear.

Good spell... But bugget! In Reforget multiplayer players sometimes has crash on start! Only because of this spell... I test it many weeks man.

 

[Rheiko]

GetLocationZ could be the culprit.
To quote Dr Super Good — "The main cause is from terrain deformations which produce different results based on OS or visual settings."
You want to pay attention on spells or systems that uses Z value and be careful with them as they usually are the reason of desync problem.

I'm terribly sorry to hear, I'll look into this and see if I can come up with a solution.

Gives me a good heading thank you!
EDIT: It might easier just to ask them directly~

Might have to go back and edit all my resources to remove this.

@Dr Super Good
Is there an alternative to GetLocationZ, specifically for Special effects? The thought of using units for effects makes me queasy.

 

[Rheiko]

My advice is to simply abandon GetLocationZ and set a fixed height for your lightning or whatever Z value you need. This might look weird on uneven ground but it shouldn't cause desync.

The reason GetLocationZ could be the culprit of desync is because it could return different Z value to different player depending on Terrain Deformations and it could also be affected by different visual settings or OS. I think it's also mentioned in blizzard.j that GetLocationZ is async so it will most likely cause desync.

Hey, just wanted to say ur a life saver cuz I always wanted to implement the famous Disintegrate D3 spell into my developing map. Anyways since I can't change the model of the Lightning effects in the LightningData( for it to be purple) so I've played with your spell and created D3 Ray of Frost using mana drain, take a look, yet again ty !

 

[Rheiko]

First of all, I would like to apologize for the long delay in reviewing process of this resource.
Some things I have noticed that you could improve on are as following:

• You create a dummy to cast slow for every cast. You should create it once during map initialization and reuse it over and over again because creating unit is quite a heavy process in Warcraft 3, which to my surprise, you did create it during map initialization but you don't use it. Why?
• You have a location leak when creating a dummy in cast trigger, probably an oversight. You shouldn't create it in cast trigger at all anyway.
• • Set Variable Set EyBe_Unit[2] = EyBe_Unit_Dummy[EyBe_Loop]
  this seems unnecessary, why not just use EyBe_Unit_Dummy right away instead.

They are minor problems however. The spell seems to be working as intended. Just a piece of note to the future users of this spell, this resource could desync your map in multiplayer environment if you have a terrain deformation in your map, but without any terrain deformation, this resource will work just fine even in multiplayer environment. So make sure your map has none of it! Otherwise you can't enjoy this amazing work.

This is a very cool spell and it will be such a waste to leave this resource in pending state forever. That being said, this resource is now
Approved

Thank you, I'm so pleased to have it approved!
And such lovely closing words, ah you make me blush.

I thought having a unit lingering about was egregious detrimental than creating one temporarily, learned something new.

Easy changes, I can do this right away.|-----> [Done!]
