Snowman's Spell Pack v.1.1

[Moderator]

12th Dec 2015
IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.

Required changes:

• Don't use Pause unit in Frost Breath. It pauses buffs also
• Cold aura has no ability icon in command card

Suggested changes:

• Icy Fetters Burn could be turned off when it is not needed
• When you find the correct unit in Icy Fetters Burn, exit the loop
• Make the tooltips a bit more like standard Blizzard ability tooltips
• Many of the variables do not need to be arrays, and you could share variables between abilities
• The FB_Timer OR condition chuck could be simplified, try to use te modulo function for example
• Frost Breath could use indexing that removes expired instances

1.Need Configurable Trigger for each spell
*Make Damage,Special Effects,Durations to be configurable
2.You're Leaking Unit-Group in the "Frost Breath Set" Trigger
After this line

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in FB_Group[FB_MUI] and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Pause (Picked unit)
    • Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s animation speed to 1.00% of its original speed

Destroy it with this line

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_FB_Group[udg_FB_MUI])

No, this group not leaking) In loop trigger, after damage time, it will destroyed.
Damage, durations, special effects can be changed in triggers with word "set" in the name. I just should write comments to lines which responsible for it. I will do it soon
About posting triggers here: i need original WE for this, on English language, and i went to look for it

You need a configuration trigger which runs on map initialization not on castimg the spell,,look at my spells

Okay no configuration.
That's what it only needs.

 

[BUP]

Well if so continue with your current work

 

[Worrag]

Okay, I understood, I will do configuration tomorrow

 

[Maker]

I recommend you add variables for unit types and abilities, it can be a real pain in the butt to import abilities and go through the triggers and actions to set the correct ones. Much easier to enable the user to set the in one configuration trigger.

When you check integers to turn off looping triggers, only do the check after you've subtracted from the integer, it can't be zero otherwise. Don't do the check at the end of every loop.

 

[Worrag]

Updated pack. I remember about triggers, which I shall post, but original warcraft was harder to find than I thought So while this delay.

 

[Worrag]

Strange ... I updated the ability but date in the line "Last Updated" is old. It's okay?

Very good job there! But i have a problem. I am currently making a map. I wanted to add the snowball ability to one of my heroes. I copied the abilities , models and triggers. I also added the variables. But when i add this ability to hero - it doesn't show in game. I mean there is no effect of snowball when hero uses ability. I clearly can see that it goes through the map (through the fog of war) , but there is no model of it on the screen. Please help me if you can!
