Spell -- DoTA

[aztec11us]

Hi

i dont know if this is the right place to ask ... but i ve seen quite some topics about spells, here in the Jass/ trigger area

i like to play DoTa (despite its imbalances and bugs)

some of the heros of DOTA ( v 6.62 ) are the Goblin Clockwerk (looks like of those small goblin clockwerks spawned by the Poket Factory from Tinker hero ) and Goblin Techies

the DOTA version, the Goblin Clockwerk and Goblin Techies have some lovely spells
1) Lay Mines
2) Aoe stun trap (easily recreated)
3) Remote Mines (plants a mine and detonatrs at a distance)
4) Suicidal Squad Attack ( the Kaboom spell from goblin sappers)
5) the Shrapnell spell from goblin clockwerk

i d really like to use some of these for my goblin clockwerk hero.
or at least, to recreate the Lay land Mines and Remote Mines

i m not that good to recreate these 2 spells.....
is there any place to download them ?

NOTE: i want to use them for my own maps, for LAN for me and my pal
with the proper credit beeing given ofcourse, on the starter screen

So you need help making an ability for "land mine" and "remote mine"? Like the ones from DotA? Both of them are extremely basic spells lol. "Remote Mines" doesn't even require triggers.

 

[Justify]

Land mine is a basic spell too...
Isn't the suicide spell also a normal one?
Part of the orc batriders? Haven't played the real wc3 that much, like custom maps
Shrapnell just picks a random unit around clock and stuns it via storm bolt, at least I'd do so

 

[Berb]

Yea that works nicely, especially since you can use the issued order to confirm whether or not the "desired" target is a valid option (by WarCraft III's target engine).

i made a goblin land mine spell.
found the goblin land mine item, turned it into a spell that is castable, BUT it does no damage !

and there is no damage status in its list of attributes either !!!

i think i m gonna need a trigger to get it to explode and do actual damage (also need to make it scale with each of the 3 levels)

how do i write that trigger?

 

[JeffreyQ]

go to Object editor > Ability
press CTRL+F
type in "AOE damage upon death (Goblin Mine)"

this is the 1 goblin mines use to damage when explode.

 

[aztec11us]

yes, i found that ability and i m trying to get a trigger running so that when i place goblin land mine and an enemy walks near it ( or over it) it explodes with aoe dmg

but i cant find the action to trigger an aoe explosion with x dmg...

moreover, i need to make it scale with each of the 3 levels

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Noo...

That's not the idea..

The goblin land mine UNIT has 2 abilites.

1. Death when nearby enemy units pass
2. AOE damage on death

Just edit the second one in the ability editor and create the landmine unit you need.

Then tell the lay mine ability to use that u nit.

 

[aztec11us]

i m on it right now

but here is a weird thing...when my hero places the mine, it actually places 2 !!!

first is a material, solid one....but the second one is translucid !!!

what gives ?!

 

[tjordell]

Just go to the object editor >> spells >> CTRL+F >> Type "Item Place Goblin Land Mine" and there you have it. Just edit the stats like the "Item ability - False" "Hero ability - True" and the damage and lvls and so on. There you have the land mine that are placed.
I can trigger and set up the "Remote mine like in DotA with the Detonate Spell which detonates the Remoted mine.

Yeah send me it. I want to see what you're working on and mby (if u want to) i can check after any bugs or leaks.

 

[aztec11us]

actually, it aint that much of alterations.
there are no fancy effects or such.

the novelties lie in new custom heroes i made:

1) human ..... blood knight - blood elf paladin with drain mana instead of devotion aura
2) orc .... magnataur chieftain
3) NE .... Moonkin ( after the owlbear model) sam tallents as keeper of the Grove, but with starfall instead of Tranquility
4) UD .... Legion Warlock ( Eredar diabolist model) has Drain Life, SIphon Mana, Rain of Fire and Doom
5) Goblin Clockwerk ( the hero you re helping me with ) ... will have Cluster Rockets, Goblin Land Mine ( once i get rid of the stupid delay in detonation...), Oil Spill (spills some oil on an aoe area, slowing movement speed and attack speed by 5/ 10/ 15 % while enemy is in the oil....D) and as ultimate talent, that lovely Remote Mine detonation of yours, i think...

 

[tjordell]

Well ok but just tell me if you have any ideas of spells to ur map. i'll trigger them for ya.

 

[tjordell]

Here is the latest map u wanted with 5% chance to failure, 30% damage to ally and self and maximum of 12 remote mines per player
