My map has the knock back function by silvenon.

Here is it: Magma Barricade

Summons 8 melted Rocks which start to rotate around the caster, they will start to rotate faster and will deal damage and gives a 25% chance to knock back a enemy unit. The damage caused is increased while the rocks get faster (100 damage is max), same for knock back (10 range more knocked back per second, max is 300 range). The Knock Back and Damage can only appear every 3 seconds. Lasts 30/45/60 seconds.

Redscores' ability is interesting and awesome, as well as fairly smooth (except I think the damage should be extremely fast but low) and the code is good.

But HINDYhat gets my vote because his ability is just so unbelievably fun to use!! Not only that but it's very very smooth, I looked to code over and even though I'm not the best coder it looks fine, and efficient to me. Also, I noticed how you made a FRAMERATE variable. Now if that doesn't show efficiency I don't know what the fuck efficiency is.

It's amazing how much code it takes for one somewhat simple-looking ability.

 

[HINDYhat]

I'm glad I actually got mine to work without any use of SquareRoot or Sin/Cos!

Thanks!

 

[redscores]

I would never vote for my self, I am not such a newbie, well, thanks for the feedback void, i got good feedback for my spell from all sides, and heh, i started 2 or 3 weeks ago to code vjass.

 

[Gilles]

Feedback already given. My vote goes to red.

 

[redscores]

Thanks gilles. Very much appreciated.

 

[Devine]

my vote goes to hindyhat cause the spell is so funny

 

[redscores]

Eh, splattering water is funny? then you should get a day to go swimming X).

 

[HINDYhat]

This has turned out to be quite a challenge! Thanks to all voters!

BUMP: Keep voting!

 

[~Void~]

Oh my gawd it's even! This is so epic!

 

[Steel_Stallion]

I'd give this one to Hindyhat. Redscores was fine, it looked cool at first. But to me it was just kind of, an immolation with a cool effect. Nice though. But Hindyhats took a different approach to an "escape spell" that wasnt just "Jump" or "Portal" or some kind of magic teleportation. And its fun to watch the water particles hop around, they even bounce on contact with objects, neat!

So ya, my votes for Hindyhat.

Btw, while it looks cool, its a pretty useless spell (In an actual game wise). It would be better if the water particles did damage, or a cold effect, or something to enemies it past.

 

[redscores]

10:10, well it seems that i won't lose so easy.

 

[HINDYhat]

It actually is quite useful, as it's a mix between invulnerability, blink and just overall confusing your enemy. I think it would be great in an AoS-style map.

 

[redscores]

Eh immolation steel? It was a accelerating ring of meteors (melted rocks) around the unit which start to rotate faster and faster and deal more damage when faster and knocking enemies with a chance back.

Don't see any familiars with immolation.

 

[Drone]

Vote for redscores.

I just like the idea and the eye candy that comes with it. Also it actually does something to an enemy unit. The fulmination is also a very nice concept but lacks a finishing touch. By that I mean, the water particles seeking out a target and doing something to that target. For example the water particle entering a unit, doing damage from the inside, making the unit grow bigger due to the pressure, exit (shrinking unit again ofc.) and stunning the unit for x seconds, and then reform the hero. It would be a H2O variant of the Terminator.

 

[redscores]

Thanks drone ;D

 

[Gilles]

HINDY did you ever fix it so that all the particles are selected for you?

 

[HINDYhat]

Yes, but I won't update it for in this thread...

 

[HINDYhat]

*BUMP*

Last day to vote! GOGOGO!!!

 

[redscores]

And i owned HINDYhat. good challenge HINDY. Nice to had you as opponent.

 

[redscores]

I said that i am longer in this buisness, so you fail, and the flaws are just wayne for me. As long as I've won. I did no leaks, no bigger mistakes and I didnt copy anything from GUI.... so please go away.

 

[redscores]

Well, firstly, I never said that I am a pro, that was produced by your paradox thinking, i said I am longer in this buisness as you, and thats the case, if you dont trust me check my spells (the pending ones) and check which was the first submitted. Well, it was around 2003 or 2004. And I never fail if I win.

 

[donut3.5]

I liked Redscores' spell better, but HINDYhat's coding was far superior.
BB, some questions:

3. You didn't put .'s after some reals, also did .00 instead of just .

Does the . really matter? I never knew that.. does WC3 actually calculate significant figures?

3. It's obvious that you copied some stuff from GUI, because of the spaces between letters and parenthisis CreateTrigger(....) for example.

Is this all that bad? I always used the GUI Init functions, edited a little of course to remove BJ's, but is there a more efficient way?

[HINDYhat]

Stop crying, everyone.

redscores won, distribute the rep.

 

[PurplePoot]

In my opinion, if people that actually know JASS voted, HINDY would of won (as his script had no flaws).

In my opinion, if people vote solely on script quality, they have something wrong with them.

HINDY or redscores, PM Wolverabid or another admin for this rep thing to be resolved.

Also, I wasn't talking about the CreateTrigger(....) thing specifically, there were things in the main code that had lots of spaces between letters and parenthisis.

Some people code like that, I used to (Spaces between lots of things).

 

[redscores]

Don't know who i could ask exactly.

 

[Karzvitch]

Hindy long time no see buddy! Since like.. Last summer. Btw I still see bigS sign onto XBox live almost every day
