1. how to make protoss plasma shiled

You could use mana+mana shield, or you could just use triggers to reduce damage if some arbitrary value attached to them is >0 (you'll have UI issues that way, though)

2.how to make Carrier's interceptors

A lot of code

And no offence to the guy that made it, but those interceptors aren't really like the StarCraft ones.

Mind Passive Shild and i dont know how to make him

do u make that code for me please

and whit who triger to do that: one unit hit another but unit 2 dosent take damage???


Case: One Footman(rifleman,Knight....) hit archer, but archer dosent take damage, in the next moment footman(rifleman,Knight....) hit other unit and that unit take the damage.

 

[PurplePoot]

I don't understand what you mean.

Oh, and a question; are you going to do the attack/armor types the same as starcraft, as well as the armor scaling?

If so, I strongly suggest you trigger the damage completely.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think mana shield for protoss is a perfect example.

 

[PurplePoot]

Only problem is High Templars/Dark Archons/Corsairs/Arbiters

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah.. and anything else that uses energy, buildings etc. can spell shield work for damage?

 

[PurplePoot]

Oh, yeah, Shield Battery too.

Those're the only toss that use energy, though.

And probably not, but there are things called triggers.

 

[Just_Spectating]

hmmm, you can make a dummy unit ontop of every protoss unit that has the same life as the regular unit that takes the same amount of damage the regular unit takes but heals the regular unit everytime it gets hurt. then when it dies off the regular unit will start getting hurt. i dont know about the regeneration tho... i guess make the dummy unit have regeneration and the same amount of mana as life so it wont heal when it has like 1 hp

 

[TreantBG]

You cannot help me........

for carrier
Locust swarm is good idea I think
AoE is max distance probes can go make it large
and change the model of locusts and give them projectile, range etc
About mana shield make active mana 0 and add a trigger like if unit doesnt have mana shield buff active mana shield etc etc and set mana per damage to 1
Not a very good idea but worth to try

 

[PurplePoot]

Locust Swarm isn't a good idea, because interceptors

• Have to be built
• Can be attacked and killed
• Attack while moving
• Can be locked on to a single target

# Can be locked on to a single target

In fact, it is ALWAYS locked to 1 target... many people don't know it since if they have multiple carriers, it might attack multiple targets, but each interceptor attacks the ship targetted by its own carrier...

 

[PurplePoot]

No, every few attacks they return to a carrier and find a new target, if they're on Attack Ground that is.

That's the same reason why they hardly ever die; they constantly go and get repaired.

 

[TreantBG]

10x but i made it. im done whit that.

thank you all.

 

[Eleandor]

No, every few attacks they return to a carrier and find a new target, if they're on Attack Ground that is.

That's the same reason why they hardly ever die; they constantly go and get repaired.

what I meant was that all 8 interceptors fight the target simultanously rather than having 1 interceptor attack target 1 while interceptor 2 fights target 2. I think locust swarm just randomly attacks nearby units.

 

[PurplePoot]

Oh, yeah, if a carrier targets a specific unit.

However, if it targets ground (Attack Ground) then the interceptors will pick random targets like you stated happens with locust swarm.

Using Locust Swarm would really imbalance the carrier in general, though.

 

[Eleandor]

I'm quite sure it doesn't... the carrier might attack a random target, but every interceptor in that carrier always attacks the same target

Passive shield was made by vexorian ages ago and is one of his spell.
Well I found it and since he deleted it everywhere I have attached it to my post. It is a passive mana shield spell that seems to work quite well.

 

[Need_O2]

Tanks for spell Dr Super Good

 

[Dr Super Good]

Remember, I did not make the system, Vexorian did and so he deserves all credits for it, not me.

 

[Need_O2]

I just wanted so say thanks for sharing your knowladge that contains the link of this spell
ops you attached it well anyway
I know you didnt create it

 

[PurplePoot]

Erm, he didn't double post -.-
