Reaping Field v1.00

Places a powerful curse upon an area that deepens the wounds of enemies caught in the area. Deals damage based on missing hit points.

If you play DotA, you can think of it as somehow like an Over-Time+AOE type, Reaper's Scythe

    How to Import:
    
    1) Import the Nova and Spell trigger folders to your map
    2) Import the dummy.mdx model (if you haven't have one already) and create a dummy caster
    3) Modify the spell settings on the globals block and spell setting functions
       of the Reaping Field(this trigger)
    4) Make sure that you set the dummy's rawcode on the Nova library

Looking good.
 
MAX HP bro, widgetlife gets the current life... XD...

Well, truth be told, I think NovaSys is the most usable script that I have made... When I get a new idea, it almost always involves an AOE...

Though I still have one thing to fix on that system, the capability to create a nova from within the onXX methods without problem... coz right now, if I create a nova from within the onXX methods, it copies the data of the triggering nova...
 
I actually had another idea before this... A freezing field like spell that is casted on the target unit instead, and of course follows the unit not the caster... which is why I realized that the Nova sys doesn't have a follow target capability so I updated it...

and maybe you can say that I'm trying to utilize the remaining vacation time that I have coz I only got 1 more day of vacation then work starts... XD
 
I think most users take a look more on new uploads rather than updates of old ones... And that would be the best approach as these spells are meant to be used by the not so industrious people when it comes to spellmaking, which are my target users...

anyway, I won't be making that spell for now... I'm thinking of what I can add to it to make it more interesting because as you said it would be really easy... just one function call of NovaSystem.create and its done... and as such even I won't find it worthy of being uploaded... hahahaha...


btw, I now already have another spell idea... it would be a cooperative work of some of my systems... XD...
