Rain of Chaos/Fire Changing?

[ReeceAndrew]

Hey guys,

We all know the Rain of Chaos and Rain of Fire spells....

well...I'm trying to turn the rain of fire meteors into rain of chaos meteors...but can't figure out how...

Even if you can tell me how to stop the infernos from spawning in Rain o Chaos i could even mod that to suit my needs...

Thanks in advance

Change the fire meteors models with those green meteors (from buffs category I think). It's only a simple model change.

buffs is the only way, but you can also set the timed life of the infernals in Rein of Cheos to 0.1 (0.0 will make them permanent)

Yeah I think that spell I send to you works! Well it works to me! Holy shit I was working few hours (experimenting actually) to make it perfect. it isn't perfect but this works how you wish!

For durations i hate how 0 = infinity, i mean cant they just make it -1, since for durations that time will never come 0 should dissable the setting, like a stun for example shouldnt stun at all if set to 0 on stuntime...

Meteors either rain of fire and inferno aren't buffs, but effects. You have to change them, not buffs.

Whops, my bad

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

To change Effect of Rain of fire or Inferno:
1. Open Object Editor -> Buffs / Effect
2. Make new buff and make it have model of inferno / ROF
3. Set field Stats - Is an Effect to true
4. Add it to your spell in Stats - Effect field

Shouldn't it be Art- Model File or something like that.

The reasony 0 is infinity is due to the way WC3 handles timing. Basically, a delay of 0 is impossiable as the timing system in WC3 seems not to like delays of 0 much as they are impossiable to fufil. If you set the delay even to the smallest quantity above 0, there will be some delay thus the timing system will execute correctly. Timers in JASS do not share this behavious, as even with a delay of 0, there is a delay between executes and cap to number of executes per second. A true repeting timer with 0 delay should result in a total game crash as it will eat 100% of CPU time indefinatly.

DSG I think it is solved, I send him already yesterday spell! I spend few hours in experiment and finally succeed.
So cause he doesn't reply yet, he is pleasant with spell so it should be marked as solved

Well, I accidentally set Damage Interval in Acid bomb to 0, which should crash the game like you said, but it only slowed the game very much (~0.25 DPS). I didn't use a counter to see how many times it actually executed, but I can surely say it wasn't infinite. So there may be some limit for executing one timer per frame.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Does WC3 work in frames? The FPS you see when you type /fps are the render frames per second, which is not linked to the engine at all.

Like I said, their timer system they use eithor uses 0 as indefinatly for once off events, or else uses 0 as minimum delay, which is still a delay.

Mark it as solved! Author of this thread seems pleasant and doesn't respond!
