Shapes & Damages

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey,

I don't know if this request is possible to do but what I do know is that this request needs very good skills with coding and mathematics(which I definitely don't have). The hardest part is to deal damage to the specific area.

What I want from you is that you create the shape with 'lightnings' and after 3 seconds you deal damage to all units inside that shape. When that is done I can do the rest(create the boss ideas for the shapes, do some twists and add the whole thing to the campaign itself). I definitely don't need any fancy superb already created MUI spells here. Just the shapes and damages.

I will use these shapes for boss fights and hero spells for The Chosen Ones campaign.

I have attached picture what shapes I need. Here us a little explanation about each shape.

Star - The boss is in the middle of the star.
Double Triangle - The boss is between the two triangles.
Triangle(forward) - The boss looks somewhere and casts the triangle forward.
Six corner - The boss is in the middle.
Triangle - The boss is in the middle.
10 Corner - The boss is in the middle.

What I would like is that the code is done with the basic GUI so that I can make future changes and add my own part to it. I really hope that's possible. I've attached test map also to this post where you can start your job.

Thank you before hand. Rep and credits for the helper.

Here's a system that does it: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=96543

Yes, but it is JASS. I want simple GUI code here so that I can actually do something with these shapes. Like this:

• STAR
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 1 as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • -------- Create the lightnings --------
    • Wait 3.00 seconds
    • -------- Deal damage here to the units inside the shape --------
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • -------- Remove all lightnings --------
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

I don't need any 'systems' here.

Also please clarify - do you only want the shapes you highlighted in your image?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yea the red ones.

Star - The boss is in the middle of the star.
Double Triangle - The boss is between the two triangles.
Triangle(forward) - The boss looks somewhere and casts the triangle forward.
Six corner - The boss is in the middle.
Triangle - The boss is in the middle.
10 Corner - The boss is in the middle.

Here are some more code snippets for whoever wants to tackle this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1838224-post336.html

I am quite good at geometry and will start doing this request soon (I will start with 1 shape then you tell me if you like it).

EDIT: Forgot to ask, what's the sizes of those shapes?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well I'm gonna use this in multiple bosses so it is possible that you create a variable or something to allow me to change the size?

I mean I have huge dragons as bosses but also tiny wizards.

I did the triangle, tell me what you think.

I can do all the other shapes based off of this one.

EDIT: I forgot to say, it's 1 cast at a time atm, if you need it to be more than 1 cast at a time I can do it too but it takes more work.

EDIT2: Found a bug working on triangle #2, will b fixed next update in an bit.

Triangle 2

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Seems to work flawlessly so far.

Please continue your awesome work!

 

[ThisPOT]

Awesome

I did the double triangle and am on the star now, I should have all shapes done before the end of the week-end but if not it will be done by next week.

 

[ThisPOT]

Got back at it and finished them all.

EDIT: I made a bonus one for fun ;O

 

[Aeroblyctos]

The job you've just done is incredible. Awesome. These are great and just what I needed, I'm so gonna use. Thanks a lot, you really deserve reputation points and credits after this.

Thanks again, you're the best.

No problem at all! In fact, I enjoyed doing a little geometry, it refreshed my memory about a few formulas .

If you find any bug or need changes, or want new shapes feel free to ask.

Also I wanted to know if it was ok if I posted your request in my workshop thread (to get it started, it's dead atm lol).

And on a third note if you know any terrainers I would rly love some help!
And of course I can return the favor through GUI or photoshop.
