Razor's Plasma Field

[Rheiko]

Hey Guys,

I'm not sure whether you guys are still alive or not, but could you guys help me make a Spell? the Idea is something like Razor's Plasma Field but this is not a full circle, Just Half of it.

I think it will need Hashtable. I don't know how to make the spell and use hashtable (well, a little experience about hashtable).
if you guys would be kind enough to help me, i'll be really grateful

 

[Vinz]

No, everything can be done without hash. Frankly it's just your double spinning blade without illusions and with some distance checking. :O

 

[Malhorne]

I don't know the spell at all.
I'm always alive and ready to help.
And each time you can avoid hashtable by indexing.
The only time when you need hashtable is to store values that can't really be store in arrays and be indexed.

 

[Rheiko]

Wrathion, Really?.. b-but, it has multiple dummy at once.. i mean to make the circle
I don't know how to make them move in circle >.>
no, half of circle >.>

Malhorne, here's the Dota 2 Version of Plasma Field..

 

[Vinz]

Multiple dummies mean multiple spinning blades right?

 

[Malhorne]

Ok this can be done without hashtable for sure
I don't have that much time to think of how to do it. But if it was to me to code this : I'll do like a missile and when steps go full then I'll invert the coordinates and then redo the missile.

 

[Rheiko]

Wrathion, yes.. but i don't know how to make them in form of half circle >.>

How to make them go in half circle??! >.<

 

[Vinz]

You know,
For each Integer X from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
|->
Apply Spinning Blade towards (Real(X) + some formula)

 

[Malhorne]

From angle-pi/4 to angle+pi/4

 

[Vinz]

I don't uze pi coz it'z zcary. xD

 

[Malhorne]

pi/4 <=> 45°

 

[Rheiko]

man, i don't know math ._.

 

[Malhorne]

Ahah xD
Sorry I can't provide you the spell for the moment ^^

 

[Rheiko]

Ah, okay ._.

 

[Malhorne]

Anyway it would have been vJASS XD

 

[Paliouras]

isnt pi=3.14?(Junior High School math strikes back)

 

[Malhorne]

pi=3.14159 yes
But it is in radians

pi/4 = 45° don't forget the ° meaning degrees

 

[Vinz]

Hey, I think it's like:
3.14159

Because I remembered that my teacher told the class that back in the day, they used 3.1416, which was a round off of 3.14159.

 

[Malhorne]

Yes sorry a 2 randomly appeared :O

 

[Rheiko]

(Junior High School math strikes back)

Lol yeah
I hate math @,@
but i must say, Math is useful :v

 

[Vinz]

Semi Circle:
location a = Target point of ability
location p = Position of caster
real r = angle from p to a
For Integer X from 1 to 5,
set location b = a offest by 100 towards ((r - 250) + (X * 100)) degrees
Apply spinnig blade from loc a to loc b
remove leaks

The point of that, since there are five blades, you add two and one half(250) of the angle difference per blade(100).

 

[Rheiko]

hm, will try it

 

[Malhorne]

I <3 maths
Dude don't use loc but reals ^^

 

[Vinz]

Reals are more confusing.

 

[Rheiko]

are we talking about GUI or Jass? =.='
i will try make this in GUI first then Convert it to Jass :3

 

[Vinz]

Have you tried it already? What was the result?

 

[Rheiko]

Nope, not yet.. i don't have WE until tomorrow >.>

 

[Vinz]

I'm not sure whether you guys are still alive or not

Wait what? Alive? I mean, no offense, but frankly we are active everyday and you're dead.
I mean, you created the group and you don't post like everyday. That's sad.We used to be many, Daffa and the other used to accompany us.

And when BotL started, the daily members were only me, Malhorne, chobibro, Jad, and Paliouras. What happened?

 

[Malhorne]

I'm not really daily since shit happens to my computer so often >_<

 

[Paliouras]

My 1 RAM module just suicided and I couldn't boot my pc till I realized that my RAM could be the problem(Thanks god it is the 1gb one and not the 2gb one)

 

[Malhorne]

Dude my battery is dead ^^

 

[Paliouras]

At least you could plug your computer and actually boot your pc.Mine didn't

 

[Malhorne]

Yes but it the third computer problem I got for 1 month >_<

 

[Paliouras]

Mine had a problem with the LAN cable that i had it replaced and my fans never shutdown unless i turn off the power supply.Oh look another off topic

 

[Malhorne]

No I'll stop there.
It is a serious topic.

@Rheiko : if you didn't manage to do your spell I might do it in vJASS if you want.

 

[Vinz]

But hey, the others..
Nevermind. Malh, I think his Spinning Blade, with correct formula, can do that.

 

[Rheiko]

Wait what? Alive? I mean, no offense, but frankly we are active everyday and you're dead.

ahaha, it's a joke =P
well, when i visit the group.. no new post.. so i thought no one check the group :v
i'm busy with IRL :3

@Rheiko : if you didn't manage to do your spell I might do it in vJASS if you want

Sure thing!!!
but i also want the GUI version though :3

 

[Rheiko]

oh btw, i don't want it precisely look like Plasma Field
i just want that circular movement.. so i don't want them to come back again ^^

 

[Malhorne]

Btw I can't nor want to give a GUI version since I TRULY HATE using this :/

 

[Rheiko]

that's fine ^^
just make the vjaws version :3

 

[Vinz]

well, when i visit the group.. no new post.. so i thought no one check the group :v

Well, that happens everytime to me too, the threads are always not bold(meaning no new posts, but someone actually posted).

Oh, you also have to offset the blades from the caster to achieve that movement.

 

[Malhorne]

Okay I'll give it to you this weekend

 

[Rheiko]

thankzz ^.^

 

[chobibo]

Share da spell mastah moosy!

 

[Rheiko]

oh one more thing, i want it to be a Target Unit Cast not Instant cast :3

Don't make it by yourself but instead help me to make it, because i want to upload it to hive later :3

Edit:
And i think i make a mistake, because.... they don't move properly T^T

 

[Malhorne]

Dude I think I'll need more time to help since my computer is totally unstable. So I can't use it when I want :/

 

[Vinz]

BTW offset from the caster..

 

[Rheiko]

what?

 

[Vinz]

Point of caster offset by distance?
Distance + speed per interval?
