i know how to make it and i havent seen it here but i know what ur talking about

I remember this spell from the spells section. But I think it got rejected as I cannot find it.

 

[claptomanic]

i remember it was in a big spellpack and searched for it but it seems to be removed....soory to say...

Description of spell: when casted, a huge spikes comes out of hero in all direction, and then returns back inside the hero.

It looks like The_blood wants an AoE Impale, like Tidehunter's ultimate in DOTA

Look at the description of that youtube-title. It says he found them all on the hive workshop and didn't create a single spell himself.
This means that you can easily find it here.

I did a 2-second search and found this.
I just did a quick search for the word "spikes" in the spells section. This was the second result. Searches can save everyone time

Edit: though the spell sucks a little.

 

[Spartipilo]

Amazing. I guess it just creates a big dummy with a custom model

 

[BloodDrunk]

yea, but idk how he makes them in all direction (up, up-left, up-right=

 

[ap0calypse]

That's just simply changing the rotation and roll angle of the unit
Roll angle: "Art - Maximum Roll Angle - Degrees".
Rotation: you can set this with triggers (when creating the dummy).

Edit: do you want this to be an instant, target or point ability?

 

[BloodDrunk]

i want it to be instant, but the sipkes will stay out for 2 seconds and then return

It's been a while since I last did something in GUI, but eh. This should work.
I've removed all triggers from the other map and just made my own.

If you have some trouble importing it, it might be because of the variable "handleId" (an integer variable). I used that in a custom script (won't auto-copy) and a hashtable (the editor might mistakenly copy this as a handle variable, which it isn't).

omg ty ty ty ty ty ty , It can't be any more perfect xD

or it can: can you make it deals damage per second for 3 seconds and the hero loses 15% of his hp? and pause the hero for 2.5 secs

 

[Spartipilo]

Asuming it's GUI

To reduce the HP by 15% do:

• Unit -Set life of (Casting Unit) = (Current Life of Casting Unit * 0.85)

To do the damage for 3 seconds, create a dummy and order it to cast some ability that deals damage over time, like Acid Bomb, configure the ability to do what you want.

You can also create a dummy that stuns your hero for 2.5 seconds with an ability like Stormbolt that deals 0.01 damage.

Doing this in another way would require a Unit group, a periodic trigger, and some other stuff.

Alternatively, to pause the hero you can go to the ability-tab in the Object Editor and go to the spell.
Since it's based on Channel, you can enable the option "Data - Disable other abilities" (set that to true).
Then set "Data - Follow Through Time" to 2.5 seconds.
This will pause the hero for 2.5 seconds after casting the spell, no triggers required (Yay for Channel).

Doing the damage over X seconds can be kind-of stupid in GUI.
Spartipilo's way of poisoning the unit is a very simple, yet effective method for static damage.
If the damage can vary (based on hero attributes for example), then you could use a DOT system. I don't really like it all that much though.

 

[baassee]

Maybe I should remake my DOT system into GUI

maybe you should
