The buff text is Red? As in the name? That means you based the buff off a negative buff I believe, if you base it off stuff like Rejuvenation, it would be green (I assume).
Anyways, I was too lazy to update my spell, mainly because I don't really have any idea how to get my new idea working.
Also, I can't wait for Man-Eating Plant to claim some victims :)

Don't know where you can find one, but think of the advantages.
A struct is like an huge array.
You have on struct where you can store a huge amount of data.
For example you save a missle, his caster, the skilllevel, the flyingangle and the distance in the struct. Now you just need to get the struct to read all the data, its the same like having a single variable for every stuff, but it's a lot easier to handle

if you have JNGP then there is a JassHelperManual, there you can find some tips, if you mean that :)

It is settled - tomorrow after my first examination in the university(starting at 9:00 probably ending at 9:30 because it is on basic programming :p ), I will go straight home and I will code something big :D Maybe I will have to spend a couple of hours in the toilet for inspiration. When I am in there, ideas seem to come faster ;)

And then I am off to climbing :p

That happens to me too. For some reason when I'm on the toilet, I am more imaginative. God knows why :confused:

Yeah, finally decided to edit my spell :D
Anyway, the new spells are really good!
Spirit Ball's test map could be better :p I felt as if I was playing a campaign.
Forest Spirits is a good idea and I like it. And as people say, make the wisps go around the hero :)
Good Luck everyone!

There is one here which includes the basics of Jass - vJass as well:
World-Editor Tutorials Site
Or this one is great too:
JASS: Basics of Structs - The Helper Forums

And Zack1996, I think your spell is better now for sure... But it would look better if the floating text actually disappear north like the mana burn etc does.
You could just add
  • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
(where 64 is starting Z height and 90 is the angle it should disappear to: 90 degrees is towards north.)

And Justify, the poison effect appearing when exploding doesnt look that great in my opinion. May I suggest the Detonate Wisp model? You could always make that larger by a dummy unit sfx if you feel like it wouldnt be 'strong' enough.

xD.Schurke, I love your code^^. Though are you sure you are using all the constants? Some of them is not really needed, but yeah, I got it why you are using them (the attaching strings and orders, for efficiency?) But I leave that judging to Poot :]

Aha I see... I really like it now:] But perhaps the units should be immobile one second faster. But that is due to the great amount of vines. Eh, what I mean is that it has pretty many vines 1 second before it is rooted^^. So based on that...:p

all in all you should rework your code ;)
Click to expand...

lol^^

I am getting stressed at the moment. Not only is my school taking up too much time for me but also I have to study through the weekend :/. Also I mixture with some coding yesderday evening for 3 hours, but didnt get a smooth insect swarm spell...
I will probably do a 'shield' like spell. I know its not the most creative and best option, but nah, it would be fun to participate this time even though I wouldn't win =)

so i think im gonna have to pull out, my spell won't work for unobvious reasons, even tried getting help in a request thread and ive had very few replies and nobody who has replied can find the problem, also got course work to do so i dont have time to mess around with it unless i know the exact problem. If anyone can see the problem then gimme a shout otherwise i think im out (rhymes lol).

Whoops, fixed a bug with the grow duration and added a constant for the maximum size :)

Poisonous Mushroom:
Summons an invisible and invulnurable Poisonous Mushroom at target location. The mushroom will start growing over a period of 30 seconds. Maximum of 10 mushroom, while the 11. causes the 1. to explode.

Detonate:
Causes the next mushroom to explode after 0.5 seconds

Exploding mushrooms deal damage in an area, both depending on the duration spent growing. After 0.5 seconds the exploded mushroom causes the next mushroom to explode, and so on.

Nearly any value in the spell is configurable, also stuff like the chainreaction can be turned off.

Graaah! I still haven't found out what i am going to do!

Earthliving Weapon
Enchants the users weapon with power from nature, giving it the power to leech seed an enemy unit. The Leech Seed will leech the very life from the target, regenerating nearby allied units by distributing the life leeched equally. Damage Leeched increases with level.
I am thinking of making this ability, but i'm not too sure. Oh, it's a permanent ability. I like those :wink:

ok ok replacing BJs. I'm just new to JASS and all. A month ago I didn't even know what a local was. I'll make it a habbit to use natives. Was planning on adding something big to this but couldn't get it working in time. A summon unit made up of many units(rock models). Manually animated to cast my spell. Think I'll keep working on it after the contest for the spell section. Thanks for the suggestions and comments. Wounder if JonNny is gonna get his spell done in time.

Justify you spell is great but it seems very powerful (maybe these creeps are just weak). I'd make the mushrooms grow much slower if I were to use this in a map. I think you should be able to detonate the mushrooms from further away. I liked how you can't place mushrooms too close to each other. Your hotkey for detonate doesn't work for "S". If you want to use "S" you must change the hotkey for stop in game interface. What is affected by level increases? Was to lazy to level it up =P. Other then that, I really like it.

Hmm... I finally got some decent coding done :D
Im making a shield which is absorbing damage and returns the damage dealt as 'small missiles' moving towards the attacking unit. It may not be the best but its better than nothing. Here is how the shield looks so far. (note, Paladin is just a test unit atm, also note that i have the lowest quality and resolution on my pc :_:)

It definitely looks very nice, but i´m afraid it doesn´t fit with the theme (?).
Simply using green missiles doesn´t represent nature.

Meh, it would fit the theme, somehow... But yeah, the 'result' may not be, but hopefully the sfx'es will. Maybe it gives a little more 'feeling' if I change the hero as I said...

Also, It is better than nothing isnt it... But I totally see your point. I just couldnt find out my spell idea in time :/

Are you referring to your signature, the knockback system?

Well, the rules are saying:
All work should be done by the contestant and original to this contest, started after the contest started.
Click to expand...
however it also says:
You may use utilities (that do small jobs), but no large do-it-for-you systems.
Examples of utilities:

* Local Handle Variables
* CSCache
* Armor Detection System
* Vector System


Examples of large do-it-for-you systems:

* Particle System
* Caster System
Click to expand...
You would probably need to ask Poot if you are unsure of the system (what kind of system is it?), if it is counting as a Large System or not.

Edit: Berz, yeah, or some kind of venom =) But still, it reflects damage taken by any attacker/damage type and shoots the damage as a beam damaging units in the way with the same damage. or that is what I though of. If I have time I will add some more things indeed.

Well, if you made it after the contest started, dont bother asking. Its your work, and its done within the time frame and then you are allowed.

Edit: Berz If you didnt notice yet I made a reply on the previous post^^

Edit:
I am allowed to use my system, so the Magical Birds [Nature] v.1.11 (KBS) is my entry. I removed the other version from this post to prevent misunderstandings. Enjoy.
Good luck everyone, we got some really nice spells here.
