MUI and leakless.

Hm looks nice Tjordell^^

I'll review it.

 

[tjordell]

Do so my friend =)

EDIT: Grantuu log on to Skype please.

 

[Egorman]

Nice=)
But wolves are causing damage and dead units. Simply lay the skeleton and over it gives the effect of blood ....
Can you edit this?

 

[tjordell]

Yeah for sure. But not right now. I'm busy atm...

EDIT: Fixed the problem. Thanks for reporting. You´r name is in the Changelog under v 1.01

- Better use coordinates so you can have the 'walk' animation played while the 'lycans' rushes forward. The stand animation doesn't really fit the 'rush' part ..
- The "RL_Group[1]" group doesn't filter dead units, mechaninal or flying units.
- You can make the lycan's to become transparent as they rush forward or simply increase their size. One of those effects would be really nice.
- Paladon's Knockback system might as well fit the spell well.
- Summoning loop look kinda weird
- You could also increase lycan's speed slighty for every 200 range they move on.

Overall, nothing really special. You might want to change the SFX when you move the lycans, 'cause it doesn't look really amazing.

3/5 with neutral vote.

EDIT: Moving a unit with coordinates instead of location:

• Actions
  • Custom script: set udg_x = GetUnitX(udg_<unit>)
  • Custom script: set udg_y = GetUnitY(udg_<unit>)
  • Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_<unit> , udg_x + 10.00 * Cos(GetUnitFacing(udg_<unit>) * 0.017453292) )
  • Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_<unit> , udg_y + 10.00 * Sin(GetUnitFacing(udg_<unit>) * 0.017453292) )
  • // Removed the "Speed" variable and replaced it with the actuall value.

X, Y and are 'real' variables and udg_<unit> (for example, make it lycan) is a 'unit' variable, but, since you are picking the 'lycans' from a group, you can use GetEnumUnit, without the need of a separate unit variable.

baaaaad indexing

indexing is the most efficient way to run things periodically but you have to do it right

(shift the data from the last slot to the next free slot like this:

data data data data //4 instances running
data data ---- data //3rd instance is over
data data data ---- //4th instance got moved to 3rd place

this way you only have to count up to 3 instead of a really high number
the spell duration is really short so it won't stack up but remember that for further spells (most of my spells are indexed this way so you may look at them to see how things work or just try out yourself cause it's the easiest way to leran something [there also are tutorials about it and there sould be an example spell for this in the spell section])

and your spell is NOT MUI
set the cooldown to 0 and spam it
you will see that the wolfs run faster and therefore run further
I'm sure you would have seen that yourself if you made a proper testmap
but waiting 23 seconds for next cast really is a turn-off
and only 4 tiny peasants to be consumed by an infinite number of hungry wolfs?
....c'mon.... be more generous

• Custom script: call SetUnitY( udg_<unit> , udg_y + udg_Speed * Sin( GetUnitFacing( udg_<unit> ) * 0.017453292 ) )

I thought reals would only have 3 digits after the 0,....?
(don't think that anyone will ever notice the difference between 0.1 and 0.11 but still...)

 

[tjordell]

MortAr-, Thanks alot for the suggestions, and now i see again that i really want & need to learn JASS! It looks awesome! =D Could you please give me a hand of help for the things you do with the custom scripts. It seems nice. Send me a PM or add me on Skype. If you want to send me a PM you can do a mini-tutorial for me please, and if you add me on skype/msn you can help me thorught instant messaging xD

BIG TRIGGER TEXT + COMMENTS

• Actions
  • Custom script: set udg_x = GetUnitX(udg_<unit>) // The X coordinate of where the unit currently is
  • Custom script: set udg_y = GetUnitY(udg_<unit>) // The Y coordinates of where the unit currently is
  • Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_<unit> , udg_x + 10.00 * Cos(GetUnitFacing(udg_<unit>) * 0.017453292) ) // Moving the unit to its new coordinate (X) with the given speed (10.00 per interval) calculating the Cos of the unit Facing * times * 0.017453292
  • Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_<unit> , udg_y + 10.00 * Sin(GetUnitFacing(udg_<unit>) * 0.017453292) ) // Moving the unit to its new coordinate (Y) with the given speed (10.00 per interval) calculating the Sin of the unit Facing * times * 0.017453292

Result: The unit will move 10 units forward (the direction is always forward since we have its facing used for an angle) within the given interval (in this case, every 0.03 seconds). This will make the unit always perform the "stop" order, thus making usage of different animations imposibble.

 

[tjordell]

But why do you have the "* 0.017453292" there :S

 

[Catch_ya]

But why do you have the "* 0.017453292" there :S

It is because when you say Sin(something) or Cos(something) then it is calculated in Radians. For making Radians to degrees (which you use in GUI) then you just multiply it with that number. It is a constant. Hope it helped.

 

[Aspard]

Also I'd like to inform everybody, who didn't add some more units to the map: the spell damages technical units, flying units and, gush, buildings!

Add filter for this please. However, spell immune units are not damaged.

 

[ChaosKnight]

Just a fast suggestion, couldnt this be made with Stampede? Otherwise, very cool spell.

 

[tjordell]

ChaosKnight, No it can't. Because the stampede summons them like my spell but all the "stampede" things isn't moved at the same time. It sometimes summons 2 at 0.50 seconds of casting and another at 0.54 seconds of casting. My spell summons all at the same time and they´re moving at the same direction at the same time. Well but i really need to update this spell but i'm learning JASS atm so i can't...

 

[smoopa]

haha nice, i remeber that movie the CGI sucked but it made me laugh to see wolves burrowing in passages like hedgehogs xD

 

[tjordell]

Haha now when I've learned GUI alot more this spell is like trash for me xD
