Starcraft II Spells

[Ironside]

Will spells in Startcraft II be automaticly MUI, or will we have to use Hastables and stuff like that there too?

They said that the triggering will be more robust, so hopefully it will automaticly be MUI.

Since most spells will be done with the data files, there won't be much trigger-editing in spells to begin with, thus they will be MUI.

 

[Dark.Revenant]

Spell-making will be almost entirely done via XML in the ability editor. The vast majority of gameplay effects can be done in that one editor.

In some cases, you'll need to script some of the effects, like a mod for any other modern game. To do this, you'll need the trigger editor. Using the trigger editor, you'll have to pay attention to how you code it to make sure it's MUI, but given that the GUI will be able to handle local variables, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for most people anymore.

That's good then , Cuz I still can't make any spell I'd want to MUI in Wc3

The Vast majority of spells will be done with the built in ability editor. (when the game is released) and will require no coding what so ever. The ability editor won't require you to use XML.

 

[Dark.Revenant]

It's a graphically-assisted front end for a series of XML files, to be more precise.

Yeah...
