Need suggestion

[envenger]

Well I guess this is not the perfect sub-forum to ask this. I asked for suggestion in another forum but didn't get accurate response enough to take a decision.

Well I tried to make a system for combat and spell casting in warcraft-3, which has certain resemblance to world of warcraft system.

The game also has other stats like
Accuracy, evasion, magic evasion, critical strike, critical evasion etc.
I also made a buff debuff system, life bar system and a custom power system using multiboard.

I also have made a custom targeting system to make the combat feel more easy. Now the problem is, I doubt if it actually makes the combat easier or more complicated. I had made all these systems for a arena map which I have in plan to make. I need some feed back on all there system. Do I keep them or revert back to warcraft-3 like systems.(Specially the targeting system)

I am attaching a video and a test map.

The map doesn't lag. Fraps lagged when I recorded.

I need some really needed feedback on this.

i tried to test the map but it is incompatible with the game so i couldnt test it. if you upload a compatible version i can test it and tell what i think.

Use the project development instead~

I am using 1.26 version. Which version should I use?

 

[Xonok]

Worked fine for me. (The previous version)

Actually a lot of guys are telling me that my map is appearing broken. Why is that? I use warcraft-3 version 1.26

^I use 1.26a.

I personally think it is more complicated since there's a lot to click to get something done unlike in WoW; the interface is so vast that can hold room for lots of actions and such.

Actually its a little less clicking.


I made it such that, when you click on any target, a trigger select back your own hero and automatically opens the spell book. You don't have to select your hero after selecting a target.

Then you just have to press spells and it will cast if the target is in range.

I am aware of that. However, clicking the target before using skills.. could seem pretty otherworldly to long time Warcraft 3 users.

hm... Agreed.. Thats why I planning to switchback to orignal warcraft-3 like system.

I will keep the buff-debuff and life bar of the target just as an added bonus.

Will remove the heros own lifebar. Would make things less complicated.

Also players might want to have other purposes for selecting an enemy other than targeting - you know, checking their inventory for crucial items, checking their stats if they're too strong, etc.
