Simple Spell Pack v1.3

[-Berz-]

Hello dear Hivers ;D

I've been working on "Hero modifier" system (screenshot below) Its pretty easy to use, and it's not only usable for this map it can be used by any map =)
Soon I'll try to add more commands, so it could come handy to someone.
(The only problem is, that now it only works for Player 2 (Blue), but I can fix that, I hope :S)

Also I've been working on some new spells:

Impact like spell, looks sweet (maybe you'll get an impression of a Meat hook, but it's not)

Another simple spells by custom scripts heal + invulnerability(nothing special but useful)

And if i didn't mention some spell with agility damage + armor reduction

Until I polish the whole thing up, have fun people!

[Deuterium]

Good luck!

I've changed that "hook" spell to charginMaiLazor

Its easy to change effect of what you want hook/lazor/needle/impale...

 

[Deuterium]

hehe nicee waiting for the update

 

[Kingz]

Dummies, eh?
I suggest you to do the following things:

• change the dummies movement type to ground
• add storm crow form ability
• remove strom crow form ability
• remove colision
• change dummies height

That way it won't be affected by any terrain/destructable and will be in a perfectly straight line.

 

[-Berz-]

Ow, I'll try that out ;D

Thanks, Kingz! =)

Edit: If I set it to "foot" it gets odd when casting trough the cliffs :S so I left it to "fly"

 

[Dark_Dragon]

great job -BZK-!

all spells are very usable! code is very clean and leakless + MUI...
i like this custom script ones they look nice.

i think they are the best coded GUI spells ever
i found few BJs but that JH could inline so nothing to worry, great job mate and keep it up!

5/5 and +rep

Best Wishes!

[-Berz-]

Dark_Dragon thank you for your help again

And thanks for your time to test this out 8)

 

[Deuterium]

oo oo gotta test it ;D

 

[Thanathos]

Ok some pretty nice spells u got there diden´t check the code but i read all comments. i really love the testmap itself, might be a good template. I´m asking myself how you manipulated the ion canon start dummy so that it´s not on the bottom. Well another simple quesion why not convert the holy blessing trigger into jass. I mean its just custom script in there (exept the comments).

 

[-Berz-]

Deuterium, hehe ;D

"how you manipulated the ion canon start dummy so that it´s not on the bottom."

Dummy as a special effect, with pitch angle -90

'why not convert the holy blessing trigger into jass"

Jet a simple answer, I don't know much Jass and i like it GUI as i think many people do

Thanks for your comment and time to test the pack, Thanathos

Edit:

Yay! 1.600th post ^^

 

[Deuterium]

Ok BZK... I'm not gonna give you another review since everything functions as at must and properly:
Efficient triggering, MUI, leakless, and useful spells!

However, I have one comment and it's on my favorite spell in this pack:
Termal Eruption

Well, I love the special effects! But I think the damage should be applied in a set of two instead of damaging once. I mean, it would make more sense if the unit gets half the damage from the upward water splash and then another from the earth shake/bump. Do you get what I'm saying? If yes, do you agree?

Amazing job!

And I advice whoever needs some simple yet nice and creative spells, this is the pack!

 

[-Berz-]

Ye, I know what you mean, and I'll do that, it just needs another group and that's it

Thanks for your comment! =)

Btw. What do you people think of "commands" are they useful? should I make more of them? 8)

 

[Deuterium]

Yay! 1.600th post ^^

Hehe two more to 300
Yay?

Btw. What do you people think of "commands" are they useful? should I make more of them? 8)

You made them to be used only in test-maps eh?

 

[baassee]

Let's check the update ...

Downloading

 

[-Berz-]

You made them to be used only in test-maps eh?

it can be used as "hax" in maps, or if you add a condition if you have enough gold/wood/whatever you can "buy" atributes/movement...

baassee,

Edit:

Updated to v1.1a, reason, typo in Sinister strike tooltip, i wrote that it deals 2x agility on all levels, but it increases by 2 so it's 2x, 4x, 6x... my bad :S

 

[nerovesper]

I haven't seen this before, a must DL...
since when was this uploaded? too late with the news. xD

EDIT: as usual, simple ideas but great effects, BZR style!

 

[-Berz-]

I haven't seen this before, a must DL...

Today 18.00 at my time, but updated to v1.1a a few seconds ago ^^

 

[PsychoNerdial]

Well the name says it, simple...
Yet wonderful =D Haha
Anyways, the new spells are nice and look great, though i think you
should make the impression of the ion cannon being stronger, by adding shaking,
Explosions (Weeeeee =D), and make the beam thicker

But that's just my opinion^^
(I'll just give you another rep for the spells )

 

[-Berz-]

"ion cannon being stronger" 400 damage isn't enough?

The shaking part... hmm could do, but that would make lags I guess :S

"beam thicker"

Just reduce the dummy scale =)

Thanks for your download!

 

[Deuterium]

Well then yeah it's a nice idea BZK

 

[-Berz-]

Well then yeah it's a nice idea BZK

To bad I can't really test how it works in multiplayer, I tested it by being the different player and it worked, so I guess it works in multiplayer too

Thanks for your download!

I meant creating the impression of it being stronger^^

And how would the beam become thicker if i decrease the dummy scale ?

Always happy to download anything labeled -BerZeKeR-

 

[-Berz-]

Oh, I've got you wrong... then increase the dummy scale

 

[nerovesper]

Just awesome. As said before simple yet amusing through the display of different special effects. Just wanted to point out that these are also good learning material. ^^ 5/5

I like how you get those special effect ideas. And its that thinking that I "envy" from you. xD

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Looks pretty nice, but the Ion Cannon would be much more cooler if it had a knockback as well!

 

[-Berz-]

Looks pretty nice, but the Ion Cannon would be much more cooler if it had a knockback as well!

Knockback is overrated, thou it would fit in the spell ;D

nerovesper, special effects <3 ^^

 

[Deuterium]

Looks pretty nice, but the Ion Cannon would be much more cooler if it had a knockback as well!

I'll take a smart guess, and say that Ion Cannons go through a thing and doesn't bump into a thing so I'm not sure if a knockback would be realistic

 

[Aspard]

What about reseting animation after Aqua Birst?

I really like the special effects of Ion Cannon! ^^

Everything is done well (Who doubts?), I think, you desrerve grats for that! Keep on =)

 

[Dark_Dragon]

To bad I can't really test how it works in multiplayer, I tested it by being the different player and it worked, so I guess it works in multiplayer too

dont worry it works for multiplayer to!

 

[Sadrax]

:O :shocked:
nice spell pack. i see some that can be very usefull for me
too bad i see it so late ;(
simple as name says
wow like spells are funny
(i wont write more now cause i'm drunk and i will probably say sth stupid)

 

[Deuterium]

off-topic:

(i wont write more now cause i'm drunk and i will probably say sth stupid)

hehe been drinking alot tonight ehh?

 

[-Berz-]

Being drunk is healthy ^^

''too bad i see it so late ;("

You didn't miss anything

Anyway I'm glad all you people like it =)

 

[baassee]

I'll take a smart guess, and say that Ion Cannons go through a thing and doesn't bump into a thing so I'm not sure if a knockback would be realistic

nothing with our spells are realistic anyway

Edit:

Here we go the second review.

Napalm Strike

Looks great and also love the brilliant thing having the most unused spell as a dummy spell, flame strike!

Looks flawless thought it's not that much cooooode so have the time to check it

Wound poison

JASS JASS JASS !!!

Well the thing is about this spell, I don't get it at all.

Couldnt you made it the normal way just casting curse to get the miss thingy but what am I to judge jass.

Thought I think you should avoid TSA function, Dark Dragon did you do this?! ^^ but I don't know if you can have this function even if you just wait a local :S

(TSA mean trigger sleep action basiclly wait in GUI language, credit to Hanky for teaching me that one! )

Else it's great will prob use it cause the idea isn't the worst exactly

Fire Wall

I was going to be a little harsch about this one, seen to many.

But it's nice thought I don't like the aiming with this spell is a little random in my opinion even if you do it with the angles!

Shadowstep

Can't really judge, I like that you used the movement speed and added a trail and such but this looks to much like a blink strike to me with another damage factor and a trail :S

But I like that you know that you can convert real to integers before you string them!

Sinister Strike

I think you should change the chance thing to integer instead of using real in the random thingy

• (Random real number between 1.00 and 100.00) Less than or equal to Sinister_Strike_Total_Chance

So you can skip the 0s but that's up to you.

Else it's just lovely, never thought of acid bomb as a armor reduce dummy before :O

Ion Cannon

You really need to check if you're outside the map in the loop else this will happen.

Picture

Else I have no clue why I shouldn't like it. Love it, with the mana burn that is triggered!

Holy Blessing

Oh damnit jass

Very simple jass (even I know these lines! (Proud over myself))

Love it!

Yup TSA's usually should be avoided... but i'm not sure about using it with locals either
We need to check with someone who knows about this

I think you should change the chance thing to integer instead of using real in the random thingy

• (Random real number between 1.00 and 100.00) Less than or equal to Sinister_Strike_Total_Chance

So you can skip the 0s but that's up to you.

It doesn't really matter neither probability wise nor efficiency wise; i think - as i remember and I'm not sure - it'll only differ by a maximum of 16-bits (depending on how the game reads the numbers - separately or in sets), and that's really no big deal.
But yes if you're obsessed with efficiency then go with the integer

My View of the Spell

I see all of ur spell are very very original and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the eyecandy u make with ur spells just love it ... anyway i like ur spells and hope u make more forgot one THing +REPPPPPP.

 

[-Berz-]

"I think you should change the chance thing to integer instead of using real in the random thingy"

I left it as real because you can make the chance more accurate like 7.5 on level 1 and then it's 15 on level 2..

Ion canon, I can't do much about it :S

Any ideas how to fix that matter?

Thanks for review you two

 

[baassee]

If / then / else

set a dummy point before

then you check if it's pathable/whatever you want

then you set the real one

uses it

and ofc removes it after

 

[-Berz-]

I'll try that ^^

Thanks for the tip.

 

[krisserz]

So you added more spells?? Let`s have a look at them.

EDIT: Damn the`re great! I love them, because they are so simple, so they are beautiful... Great Job!

 

[-Berz-]

Thank you! =)

I hope they come handy to someone

 

[Sadrax]

I hope they come handy to someone

they will. dont worry about that
once again: GREAT SPELLS!!!!

 

[Arman]

Thanks for spell 5/5 +rep

 

[-Berz-]

I've almost finished another spell Earth fury, it looks so nice

To bad i can't take a good secreenshot where little rocks and dust appears ^^

 

[krisserz]

Don`t stop trying xP

 

[Deuterium]

wow BZK... and i though the spell-pack was done GO GO GO!

 

[-Berz-]

As i said what I mean by spell pack... 20 spells minimum :>

I was killing myself, with uploading this video, hope it works and the quality is good enough :<

 

[lovelyangel]

So many spells and they are just what I need, I think I'll stick to your spells from now on -BerZeKeR-. ^^

 

[-Berz-]

lovelyangel, hehe, I'm glad to hear that, but try other better spells too 8)

 

[Deuterium]

well you know what, i'm gonna start spell-packing then too
but i'll wait till tests are over and till they fix the forum... because everytime i update a spell it stays where it is and is never bumped to front page. I'd like people to see my packs...
Btw, I've got my spell ideas notepad, haha it's huge, maybe when i start giving up on some idea's i'll pass them over to you
