Spell Request

[Quetzalcotl]

Hello Hive Community, so I'm busy with this map and I need this spell that channels the target for 3 seconds ( also doing a lightning effect ) and deals damage every second. Something like Mind Flay from WoW . Doesn't need to be anything advance, just something I can work with.

I'll do things like, icon, damage, tooltip. I just need the basic concept.

Would like to have it in either JASS (not vJASS) or GUI.

Ask me if there are any questions.

Thanks in advance, Quetzalcotl.

so basically a channeling spells that damages a target unit per second?

 

[Quetzalcotl]

That's correct, and it also needs to stop damaging when you stop channeling , I want to the damage to be based on stats so that's why I need it triggered.

 

[Inachix]

Alright I guess I can do this. Just tell me what stats the spell will be based on.

 

[Quetzalcotl]

Sorry for the insane late reaction, I guess any stats would do . Aslong I can change it somehow everything is fine.

Thanks for helping btw

20 mins of work and it was rdy..routine rocks!

however I didn't test it properly though but it looks nice this far

(the spell will suck with flying units and this can only be fixed with JASS.....if you want that too just ask and wait until tomorrow)

notes:
channeling will stack so you can cast the spell more then once on a single target without stopping the spell
if the caster stops for less then 0.03 sec it will be handled as if he didn't stop
if you want it that way: add all casters to a unitgroup and remove them from the array if they do/cast something else

Thanks mate, the JASS version would be great but only if you have time for it and if want to make it.

I uploaded it here http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/mind-flay-v-0-01-a-154347/

I replaced the GUI MoveLightning with the JASS native which has the wanted effect
