Dr Super Good:
Mini moderators have reported this is an ok spell and thus it has been approved.

Last Created unit leaks always, simply use a variable and clean the variable afterwards. set the variable to no unit.


And there were many 2nd places, because we all had 24 points.

 

[redscores]

I already said that in the comment... please read what i write thanks.

 

[Zack1996]

Lol, didn't read it and too lazy to update it till now. I made the orb look better and other visuals are improved. Now you can't really see the wisp in the middle.

 

[Hanky]

Good spell idea and also the spell itself is ok. I see no leaks so far. The only thing that bother me is that the spell isn't MUI or at least MPI.

But else the spell is well made. Especially I liked the tooltip which is very detailed. So far I can give you a 3.5/5!

 

[Zack1996]

The spell is MUI -_-
You can try and spam it or get another caster or something and it will still work properly.
If you find any bugs reguarding MUI or MPI problems, please tell me .
Thanks for the review, +reps

 

[Hanky]

Really? Then I have to check it a second time. Maybe my eyes had a driver error.

Edit: Ups, yes you are right your spell seems to be MUI.

 

[Bobo_The_Kodo]

Last created unit doesn't leak... it's a global

(GUI: +/- 0/10, Jass: +1/10, vJass: +2/10)
Total: 39/40

Average: 9/10 = 4/5

Viewers Note:

Hey man, a nice idea. There are leaking water spells everywhere so nice that you invented some.
Your coding style is good too, all leaks are removed.
Poor it is made in GUI >.< would look so good in Jass!!!
Your ability tooltip is excellent. The balancing of the ability too.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

@ The water wave.
Set its life span to 8 seconds or so, much better effect.
At its current, it doesnt really matter where it ware, it vanish after 2 sec. anyways.

By using 8 the wave will be REALLY big, at the end, but you can fix that by changing its scaling value, and add a "Mana of (Temp Unit)/2" to your scaling trigger.

Good Luck, triggering.

 

[Zack1996]

Thanks for the encouragement and for looking at my spell . I will update it with some changes and add more water spells soon : ).
I was thinking maybe a whirlpool that really looks like one as in the units twirl around or something.
PS: I agree that water spells are lacking in the spells section.
EDIT: My spell doesn't seem to move to the top when I update. Also, the update date is not updated

 

[Need_O2]

Last Created unit leaks always, simply use a variable and clean the variable afterwards. set the variable to no unit.

go learn something noob

 

[Zack1996]

Last created unit doesn't leak? Ok, but I'm too lazy to change anything for now.
Also, please keep on topic about the spell and stop arguing with redscore (Yes, I know redscore is annoying sometimes).
I am planning to add a whirlpool skill, just not sure when though.

 

[Need_O2]

Your pack is just fine nothing bad about it (leaks or bugs)
keep going

 

[Dark_Dragon]

Really impressive nice coding, spells and no leaks found. You use the bj_wantDestroyGroup which many people don't even think about, and it leaks much more then locations so as you use it you destroy this group and leaves no leaks. I give you 8/10. And btw nice GUI skills.

 

[Zack1996]

Haha, thanks
Anyway, I just updated with a new spell and some other stuff, the Screenie is updated too.
Enjoy!
PS: This doesn't seem to be updating itself...

Really sweet idea and eye melt effects on Whirl Pool. Really nice eye candy more like cinematic spell

Edit:
Aww, if it would be possible it would be sweet to turn the spinning unit shadow off. Because i don't actually see unit spinning but the shadow D:

 

[Zack1996]

Thanks for the comment but I can't turn the shadows off for some reason . I guess GUI just doesn't allow it. Anyways, thanks for commenting! I really appreciate it
And actually you only see the shadows cos they are underwater in a sense, I made a terrain deformation, a crater to be precise, at the position of the whirlpool. So when the units get close they start to go under the water .

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Well. Its going pretty neat now, especially that whirlpool.
Thou, it reminds me of 'hydro pump' made by some guy here. But it seems like its yours, and also his uses a whirl not seperate rings.

Anyways, keep it up!

PS. It would be so neat if you made fire and nature sp3||p4x to.

 

[redscores]

Hm, So I am annoying? maybe you should first get better and then argue with me, and just btw, I made a mistake with the last created unit.

But whatever... its like pearls for the swines to talk with you people.

 

[xxdingo93xx]

Hey, me again ^^
I see you've added another spell. Wow, it is great
...Except of 1 thing ^^
the Display Text when you don't cast it on water sux. Here, use my debug system.
I added it into your map and made a comment-trigger as explination how to use the system. The function itself in in the maps header and I just replaced the Display action with my system, give it a try ^^ just cast Whirl Pool not on water.

Take some rep for inventing another water spell

 

[Flash.Kisame]

hey, you made a really nice spell-pack there
the whirlpool is my favorite one, it looks GREAT, but also the others are very nice
the only thing i dislike is the slow movement speed of the waterelement.

except of this small thing, you are doing a great job in my opinion, original ideas, very well made descriptions and ofc nice triggering

5/5 and
+1 REP !!!

 

[Assassin_Jo]

very good...all spells are great...but the water orb needs to much time to explose or what ever it do^^...if u use this spell in a map the enemy has tooo much time to run away...so reduce time...4/5

 

[Zack1996]

Thanks for the feedback, I understand what you mean, but think about it this way.
Water Orb is meant as a trap, so the player might place it in a place where enemies cannot see it easily and lure the enemy there, by the time the enemy goes there, he/she might not notice the Orb and might get hit by it. Furthermore, each wave does a certain amount of damage, imagine the enemy getting hit by 2-3 waves, it will inflict quite some damage on them.

 

[Assassin_Jo]

yes...thats right..but so low chance that the enemy stands in the area when the orb exploses....it would be better if u made the trap invis. and lower dmg...but lower cooldown...and if enemy touch the orb.then he will get dmg...like a normal trap by warcraft...u know what i mean?^^

 

[MetalThing]

I like the spell's specialy the whirlpool and the water orb. But the hydro jet beam could be a little larger. 4.50/5

 

[Scionic]

giving the "Wave" spell knockback would make it bttr... all in all 5/5 great job

 

[Dj0z]

Really cool looking spells, the whirlpool is just amazing as people said already.
Okay its totally too powerful but balance is up to the importer anyways.
I dont really see a use for the water orb, but its a good triggering lesson and might give people derivated ideas of spells. Maybe just changing its "speed" could make it actually efficient also, well...
I also find that the wave is useless on land, but again, changing the speed at which it becomes samller could make up for that.

All in all, a greatly useful spellpack even if you dont need water, because you could change parts to get awesome effects of other elements (Lava syphon? Wave of dust?)

 

[MajorSonnwaitts]

Your spellpack is one of the best I've seen recently, and the few spells I tested it are just great (well, I have downloaded it when it had just the first three spells ).

I just have a little problem: I used Hydrojet in my map, and then I replaced the Water Elemental missile model with the Flying Machine missile model. It works fine: deals the damage and knocks the units back (I modified the damage only), but it lags terribly while the projectiles are shown. I tried to reduce or increase the animation speed of the jets, but 1) it's still laggy, or 2) it doesn't look like a machinegun. What would be the problem? The model or something else?

 

[Zack1996]

Hmm, that's weird, didn't expect anything like this. Are you sure you didn't change anything? I guess I could try it on my computer, I will reply soon
EDIT: Hmm, it doesn't lag when I tried it. Maybe try and use another model (maybe harpy, set the scaling to something lower). Also, if you want to make it more like a machine gun, when creating the unit, make it face (Facing Angle of Picked Unit+ (Random Number between -10 to 10)) or something, that should make it more machine gun like.

 

[MajorSonnwaitts]

Well, it seems like it was a combination of an issue with the animation speed of the jets and my slowpoke computer. I didn't check my map in a week or so, since I was working on my first spellpack, but I tested it yesterday in the internet cafe near my house, and the lag was almost inexistant. I fixed it at home, and the lag was reduced dramatically (but still is there. What would you spect of a PC with 192 MB of RAM with WinXP? ). But thanks for the help anyways, I'll try that.

 

[-Berz-]

Mmmm...Updated, must check it out =)

Edit:
Interesting, have nothing else to say =)

 

[scorpion182]

you add more spells? i'll check it out

EDIT: i like the nature spells 5/5

 

[NiddHogg-kun]

i like it ^^

 

[COMBO]

somethings wrong with water wave, it worked fine for a few casts, but then it stopped releasing the wave. i dont know what could be the problem.

Whirlpool is a real nice spell =)

 

[Zack1996]

Ok, I see. I will look into it. Must be something wrong
Or maybe it was the changes I made recently but I might fix it soon!

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

I didnt think the spells were very effective. In certain environments the spells would be worthless.
The best one, imo, was the nature spirits one. All the other ones could have been better executed. The Water pump one (Line of water) never even hits the target i select, the water trail one doesnt go anywhere useful and the water orb doesnt hit anything that half the effects do. Whirlpool looks cool but the dummy moon well thing doesn't fit at all.
You were creative with the spells, they just werent very useful. 3/5

 

[Linaze]

Seems like a fine spellpack, good work.

 

[Zack1996]

AH! Thank you for the comment
I was thinking of stopping work on this spellpack but I guess I'll just make it a random spellpack and compile lots of spells together

 

[Grave_Digger_]

Whirlpool

This one was sweet. Everything pwned. All but the water that appears, allthough it's probobly the best one you can find its not very nice.

Overall Rating : 9.5/10

Water Orb

This one is also sweet. But when it has loaded to about 200 it gets a little bit laggy, not when its just loading but when the waves come out.

Overall Rating: 10/10

Waterwave
Cool how it gets bigger/smaller. The only thing i noticed thats weird with this is that sometimes, it just stoped and grew/went smaller.

Overall Rating : 9/10

Hydro Jet

Very nice spell, though its kinda, dont know what to say... Does it knockback?

Overall Rating : 8/10

Liquid Elemental

I like the water it leaves behind itself. Thought when the unit is walking it is kinda spike lagging (not the game, the unit).

Overall Rating : 9/10

Nature Spirits

The spirits run around finding trees! Very cool, also i got happy when the walking trees turnet into a normal tree when dying.

Overall rating : 10/10

Rejuventation Dust

Not much to say. Good spell but very simple... The least good one.

Overall Rating : 7.5/10

+rep for all these awsome spells.

 

[NausAllien]

Nice pack, perfect for my naga campign. I will give you credits and the link to download when it will be finished, thanks.

 

[HappyCockroach]

what a great pack of spells =D
I loved all of them.
+rep for you.

 

[Deuterium]

isn't waterwave supposed to shoot? cause it's just growing in front of the caster and then go small and disappear :s

 

[Zack1996]

It does that? Guess that's a bug, no idea why it happens though :S

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

these spells are awesome!
however i got a fatal error while casting stuff with the kotg
i cant tell which one of the spells triggered it of because i used them all at the same time
additionaly i was standing at the fringe of the map
i ll test a little more...
edit: YAY i got it again xD
edit2: reason might be corpse but im not sure going to test more
edit3: well it had nothing to do with corpse but it happens with the first and second skill used only (however "eaT tree" and something with naTure have the same hotkeys
edit4: ok i got it its the second spell which is causing it but dont ask me why oO
edit5: it seems that the first and second spell have to interact to cause the bug however i didn't find out anymore
here is a very bad quality gif and avi
fix it urself x)
sry for the quality but i didn't know which codec i should use to compress it

 

[fico23f]

This Lacks

 

[Gangstahhhhh]

I will use the Nature Ward in my map, a really cool spell. Ofc i will say: Ty to Zack1996 for his cool Nature Ward spell, in the credits : )

 

[Zack1996]

Lacking in which aspect? Please elaborate.
If you hate it, tell me what you want me to change, and I'll see what to do.

 

[dm251]

Gee, thanks alot.. ^^, iT worked well..
Thanks Again.. and also, its really great knowing its MUI ^^
