Sylvanas Hero Concept

Always love the clean description of the contents, very lovely.

Great hero design, that's a really clever idea having the Black Arrow toggle affect the other skills.

And that icon for Arrow Storm! Can you believe I made that 14 years ago? I was only 12! I'm still amazed it got approved (It's a blatantly obvious re-color of Blizzard, and a fairly poor one at that LOL).

 

[chopinski]

Thx guys! Thats a great icon. I choose it for the purple color, i think it fits great with her overall.

 

[feber13]

beautiful work, but you could change an ability if possible, an arrow hitting the enemy and two chains coming out of that enemy unit that grab two nearby units, and when exploiting the ability attract the units

anyone know how to open this map on editor? it always says missing unit data or invalid on both WE and JGNP. Thank you

What version of the game/editor you trying to open it? This was build using the latest patch. If the problem persists i will post the map Object Data as well so people can import it to a blank map e just copy the code over from Trigger preview

It's ok playing on a really old warcraft 3 1.26.

This requires patch at least patch 1.31

If your world editor cant open the map because of an Object Data error, here is the Object Data for you to import

Make more.

Quick Question related to the Arrow Storm ability. how did you trigger it to detect whether your hero's Black arrow is currently active or not? is it possible to replicate this on older patches?

I use the "A unit is issued an order" event. When the unit active the black arrows it detects an an order and when it deactivates it it detects another order, then i save it in a global variable to be used by the Arrow Storm and other abilities. It can be done in any patch.

hmmm Will try this thanks for the quick reply!

Crazy execution imho.

This is completely insane.

I think DotA players are loosing their minds.

Cry of the banshee "Queen"?

Cry of the banshee "Queen"?

?

 

[Elprede]

I tested Cry of the Banshee Queen in the latest patch, and I noticed a particular issue. It wasn't really effective as in it would only pick up one or two units. In my test, I was surrounded on all sides by enemy units.

Fixed. Thx for pointing it out.

Aside from the usual fanfare, the idea of Sylvanas being an aggressive force of evil that can shred through enemy ranks with her powerful magic and enchanted bows is greatly exemplified here. Impressive as always.

The system works fantastically, and is particularly efficient at handling memory usage. A word of caution ought to be given to users who would like to import Screaming Banshees; check the pathability of the area where the caster would blink into.

Nitpicks:
The missile for the Screaming Banshees spell appears to be too small in the SD version (and appears to be an orb for some reason?).

I'm using the Possession missile effect, so it might be some shenanigan's from reforged, but the missile model is configurable.

Do you have a copy of the game or are you using the original version? Maybe it's a problem with the latest patch (bloody blizzard f**uking things up). Anyway, you can always use the ObjectData I provided and import it to an empty map and use the Preview Triggers tab in the thread to get the codes. You can use an MPQEditor to get the models and icons.

I really like this version of Sylvanas's model, but it doesn't speak and doesn't have a heroic aperture, I wish someone would fix that.

Having issues with Sylvanus and Illidan imports (Muradin works fine, some like Yu'lon I can't even open your map because of Bliizard's awful patch update). For both issue heros, everything is imported except scripts (I always get errors for scripts, but I got errors on Muradin too) and the test game works with the models. However some of the abilities aren't working. Sylvanus for example - Ranger Precision (never triggers), Forsaken Arrow and Withering Fire (no damage or visual) and worst of all, Black Arrow (while active attacks do damage but no visual and no buff, and no skeletal soldiers created). Is this a trigger issue? Script issue? It's all imported as is described, and I made no edits in the code since everything appears to match.
Thanks so much your work is awesome!

thats why I did not update.

 

[Pyrogasm]

I always get errors for scripts

In the trigger editor menu bar, navigate to JASSHelper > Enable JASSHelper, Enable vJASS and turn them both on. These settings are off by default now in all maps/editors for some godforsaken reason.

For both issue heros, everything is imported

The order you import matters (unless you import all object data via .w3o at once but I think that overwrites your own custom data). If an ability uses a buff, when you paste the ability into a new map it will try to put that correct buff in the same data field. If the buff exists already you’re fine, but if it doesn’t then it will either be blank, populated by the default buff, or populated with another buff of the same rawcode as the original.

The WE does not check to update this field when you DO paste the buff because it doesn’t work retroactively like that. This applies to things like abilities lists for units, upgrades used/techtree requirements, units spawned by abilities, etc.. Think about the order when you are pasting over object data.

GUI Triggers must come after object data, since any references to specific objects need them to exist to work. For JASS/Lua triggers this is less important because you’ll likely have to update the rawcodes used manually anyway.

Thanks for the reply. For that reason I do the "all object data import via .w3o" but still the RangerPrecision doesn't add agility, the BlackArrow debuff doesn't spawn any skelies, ForsakenArrow doesn't have a visual (I just see the damage on the enemy units) and Whither Arrow doesn't even show up on her abilities even though it's added.

I changed all the .mdl to .mdx (not sure if that matters but that's how it looks in my assets) but that's as far as I'd want to go tinkering as I am not experienced with coding or triggers. If it's just because of the latest patch messing things up, I'll leave it at that. Otherwise I am trying to learn

How about sharing your map so we can take a look?

Hopefully it lets you open it. Black Arrow doesn't summon skeletons (although you can see something invisible causing damage occasionally), Forsaken Arrow doesn't have a visual and Ranger Precision doesn't proc.

is it possible I need to add string text somewhere? when i import the strings i get dozens of errors (3, 45, 55, 65, 123, 125, etc)

Have you figured out how to fix them?
