[Minigame] Shadowplay

[shaMewalkeR]

Minigame/Arena
I apologize in advance for my horrible english. It is not my native language.

Take on the role as a Shadowfiend, a harbringer of primordial chaos.
Your objective is to eradicate the other Shadowfiends, in order to be the ultimate being of destruction.
You will fight the other Shadowfiends in an arena, to prove that you are the greatest of your kind.
Kill, grow stronger and become the absolute best.

Enchantment based Spell System.
The Shadowfiend can harness the power of Shadow, Frost and Fire in order to create a huge variety of abilities.
He can have 3 enchantments active at a time, and combine them.
When combining them the Shadowfiend will create an ability.
The ability he gets depends on the combination of his current enchantments.
If he has Shadow+Shadow+Frost active, he will get AbilityA.
If he has Shadow+Frost+Fire active, he will get AbilityB etc.

Custom Abilities:
Even though the spell system is inspired by the Invoker from Dota Allstars.
All the spells will be new, rather than just a rip-off from the original Invoker.
There will be no targeted abilities in this map. All spells will be skill-shots, and the damage output of the hero will be highly dependant on the players ability to not only land the abilities, but also the speed of which he can switch between different abilities.

I will be uploading some screenshots very soon. I'm just waiting to take screenshots of a multiplayer game, so they will be slightly less boring

Thank you. Hopefully they are as interesting in action as they are on paper

Will try to do so. Thanks for the compliment buddy

Looks pretty cool. What Invoke system do you use?

I might change the invoke system later, so this is just a beta.
I dont have the map open right now, but from the top of my head it's something like this:
(As seen on screenshot) you have the 3 active enchantments flying around you.
Each enchantment is a dummy.
Each enchantment type has their own unit group.
Number of units in each unit group is converted to an integer when using [Mash of the Elements].
The value of the 3 integers determine which ability you get. If no ability matches the integer values, nothing will happen (If you have less than 3 enchantments active, or if there is no ability for the combination(which only happens now, because I still need to make a bunch of abilities ))

Can PM you the triggers if you are curious
