Berzeker, wow^^. That some helluva actions you got there.

I do wonder though, does that "target unit of ability being cast really registers on begins casting, or are you just lucky? And the wait for condition action will make the spell neither mui or mpi :/

After the wait you got some actions which are the same both in the then block and the else block, and the main difference are the effects, the creation of the floating text and the damage dealt. Move the actions which are the same for the both blocks, to 'after' the whole if checking.

attack type spells, damage type normal... If I remember right, this will deal damage based on the armor reduction. Using damage type unknown will solve that issue (if it is an issue).
 
-Berz, checking the distance between the unit and the target would even be more efficient, and then start a timer, (or a wait, Gui is so limited >.>), then check the buff.
Thats probably the best idea I could think of.

I mean, you could change the part I was talking about to:
  • Wait until ((Unit[2] has buff Black Arrow(custom) ) Equal to True), checking every 0.10 seconds
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to (6 x (Level of Black Arrow for Unit[1]))
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- Damaging the targeted unit --------
      • Unit - Cause Unit[1] to damage Unit[2], dealing (2.00 x (90.00 x (Real((Level of Black Arrow for Unit[1]))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
      • -------- - --------
      • -------- Creating a floating text --------
      • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ((String((2 x (90 x (Level of Black Arrow for Unit[1]))))) + !) above Unit[2] with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (40.00%, 0.00%, 60.00%), and 0.00% transparency
      • -------- - --------
      • -------- Creating a nice special effect on the targeted unit --------
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of Unit[2] using Abilities\Spells\Undead\OrbOfDeath\OrbOfDeathMissile.mdl
      • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Else - Actions
      • -------- Damaging the targeted unit --------
      • Unit - Cause Unit[1] to damage Unit[2], dealing (90.00 x (Real((Level of Black Arrow for Unit[1])))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
      • -------- - --------
      • -------- Creating a floating text --------
      • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ((String((90 x (Level of Black Arrow for Unit[1])))) + !) above Unit[2] with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (40.00%, 0.00%, 60.00%), and 0.00% transparency
      • -------- - --------
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 3.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 5.00 seconds
 
Hmmm...thats a smart thinking, i didn't thought of that D:

I'll just try to put another if in and manage something out :P

Edit:

@ Eccho

Ill check it out =)

And distances, my first idea how to make it, but you see the arrow is a bit slow i think its speed its 900 or so and the cast range is 750, so we have a problem here, lets say that the other unit is really fast and before the units gets hit it could be far away :S

But meh...I'll just somehow use your ideas and leave the whole thing as it is

Edit:

This condition should work right?
  • ((Unit[2] has buff Black Arrow(custom) ) Equal to False) and ((Unit[2] is alive) Equal to False)
Because its like impossible to test t by myself.
 
I just thought I would make a post here to say something. I would be joining, but school has my schedule booked -_-. I might have some time to make a spell if the teachers do not give homework :D (Like that would happen).
Anyway, I don't really have an idea yet (had one, but couldn't get it to work properly, given up all hope on it (=) [Lol Double Smiley]
Anyway, I believe everyone actually get reps at the end of the contest, people (like me) are in the habbit of +rep everyone who participated :P
PS: Yeah, the condition should work :D
PPS:Eccho, if you are going to submit an entry, why not make it official?
PPPS: xxdingo93xx, lol another lightning spell
PPPPS: If we take all the S&S Mini-Contest spells and put them together, we could make a really good map :P
 
@ Berz

  • ((Unit[2] has buff Black Arrow(custom) ) Equal to False) and ((Unit[2] is alive) Equal to False)
Click to expand...

You check if the unit is not having the buff and that the unit is dead? I dont know why you want it, because if a unit is dead it doesnt have any buffs:P

@ Zack

If you mean that I am going to submit it in the spells section, then yes. Its just that I am using this theme as a guidline. (If I get the time ofc... curse you, school)

@ Dynasti

Gonna check it out then^^

Something is wrong... I cant open in since it kicks me back to the main menu.
Opening it in jngp doesnt work either, as JassHelper is refusing to save it.

I tried other maps... this is the only one troubling ._:
Click to expand...

Im aware of it. I did the same thing, wierd :s
>.<
The JNGP fails at saving it when Map name is to long

Edit: Fixed it, download the map again

Oh wow, that looks amazing! I love the randomness, and it looks so smooth and doesnt lag at all. I couldnt find any leaks so far either.

But the tooltip needs to be better in my opinion (must find something to complain about^^?)

Love no lagg ^^ ( i did a lagg test, spawned 100 spike waves without effects. only 0.03 fps drop :P )

[OFFTOPICNESS]
>.< like Shoopdawoop random spikes?!!!
 
Yes, I'm already finished :) I just want to search for bugs and think of any stuff I could add^^

The only thing is, that it contains 8 triggers, while 1 is the spell and 7 are systems (I wrote by myself :P). There is an info why I'm using them and then they are realy usefull, but 8... argh xD k, the 7 are one category so you only need to copy 2 things out of the trigger editor^^
 
This is my Entry to this Contest:

THE DESERT ANT

A quite random spell, if you cast it on a point there will come spikes up in a preset interval, quite long range, each spike deals initial damage and causes a stackable bleeding on the enemy hit, so the damage is quite random. Interval of Spikes is 2 seconds and Number of Spikes per Interval is 25. Each spike deals to all enemies in 50 range around 25 damage and causes the bleeding to him. The Bleeding deals 5 damage per second and lasts 10 seconds.

THIS SPELL USES AND REQUIRES MY CHANGED DOT SYSTEM (original by Paladon). The System is inside of the map and can just be copied.

FEATURES:

MUI,
Leakfree (just alot of SFX),
easily changeable,
supports 3 levels at the moment and gives a easy introduction how to make more.

DOWNLOAD: View attachment The Desert Ant.w3x
 
Yay! I have my done! =)

It just needs a few game triggers :P

And btw. Is this good enough that people could understand?

Black Arrow

Shoots a powerful dark arrow at the targeted unit.
Casting harms the caster.
Targeted unit suffers some damage.
There is a chance, that targeted unit suffers critical damage, that is 2x primary damage.
The arrow consists of pure fear, so the armor of targeted unit is reduced.
If targeted unit dies, it releases Howl of Pain, that reduces the armor of nearby enemy units.
As targeted unit dies by the arrow, the caster gains hit points, but if targeted unit is a hero, there is a chance that caster fully recovers its life.
Click to expand...
 
Here is my submission :)

Dark Rift
[Target]: Point/Area
[Casting Time]: Instant
[Duration]: 10 Seconds
[Description]: The Voidwalker evokes a dark invisible rift.
The rift will suck out the energy of all enemys that try to leave it, applying several effects depending on the time they stayed in it.
[1-1.9 Seconds]: The dark energy aims on the legs of his victim, slowing him by 30%.
[2-4.9 Seconds]: Realising a painfull power, the rift catches the the enemy and stuns him.
[5-9.9 Seconds]: The rift hungers for blood, stunning his victim to stay next to him and dealing damage.
[10 Seconds]: Torturing his victim isn't enough anymore and the rift tries to kill it, stunning him a long time and dealing a lot of damage.

I'm considering dropping War3, it is starting to become repititious, and compared to other games, a really big waste of time.
