Techtree Contest #10 - Mythology

Yours Truly · Mar 16, 2016

You have to put the id of your gold mine into Spellbound's setup.
Lemme make it simple for you,use Spellbound's setup than copy the id you've done in the previous and change human race to nightelf.That should work(?)

EDIT : Hey guys,which one you prefer for the Head Cultist hero's skin I'm working on/remaking

Thanks I was a bit unattentive.

The white haired one looks better.

I need help guys.
This is my first time meddling with JASS.
My custom gold mine isn't created during the start of the game.
The custom wisp creates gold mines similar to acolytes.
I tried moving the wisp to undead but it just crashed the game after attempting to create the custom gold mine.

If your game crashes when you build a mine that probably means your custom haunted gold mine doesn't have Blighted Gold Mine Ability, as an ability. Moving the wisp to undead ensures they can summon buildings, which is necessary to create haunted gold mines that retain their existing amount of gold. Otherwise it will set the gold amount to 0.

Wasabee · Mar 16, 2016

But is it possible to make it similar to entangled gold mine but build-able by the workers?

Spellbound · Mar 16, 2016

I did try messing around with a buildable Entangled Gold Mine before, but I don't really remember what I did. I can't guarantee this will work, but try giving your custom gold mine these abilties:

Blighted Gold Mine Ability (so it can be built on top of a gold mine. The builder must be of the Undead race)
Entangled Gold Mine Ability (this determines the gold per interval. 5 workers = the shortest interval, I think)
Load Wisp (copy and modify to allow your worker unit only)
Load (Entangled Gold Mine) (sets the limit of the number of workers available and load sound. Unless you want to change sound, I'd leave this ability as-is.)
Unload Instant (Entagled Gold Mine) (this will automatically unload all workers from the gold mine if it's destroyed or depleted.

This /should/ allow your custom entangled mine to be built without having to having a nearby building with Uproot to entangle it via a spell.

Wasabee · Mar 16, 2016

The gold mine disappeared. I also tried removing the entangled gold mine ability.

Spellbound · Mar 16, 2016

hmmm... did you make sure the worker was undead?

Wasabee · Mar 16, 2016

Spellbound · Mar 16, 2016

Well it builds alright but it doesn't mine... imo either just go with a custom Haunted Gold Mine or trigger the gold harvesting. You can use Bribe's Unit Event to catch when units enter and exit transports - that includes entangled gold mines.

What I changed in this demo map is that is remove the Acolyte's gold harvesting ability (you don't actually have to replace it with the wisp's - that just to harvest lumber), add the abilities I previously mentionned to then haunted gold mine, and changed Load Wisp to allow Acolytes instead of Wisps.

Wasabee · Mar 16, 2016

Thanks for helping me. It seems I really need to trigger the gold harvesting.

Don't ask me... :wink:

M1stery · Mar 16, 2016

I prefer the White-Haired one. I think the green Air doesn't fit into Faceless Voids/Cthulhu Servants.

Spellbound · Mar 16, 2016

I vote for white-haired one as well. Green-haired one looks weird.

EDIT: New update!

I'm frankly a bit bored with the types of towers we see in most Warcraft custom maps, and I love me some creative towers, so I figured I'd try something new.
Uses Missile. The speed of the attacking fairies is relative to the distance between the target and the tower. If the target is immobile, it takes 1 seconds to go forth and 2 seconds to go back.

Yours Truly · Mar 17, 2016

I love you.
Looking at your customs,I'll surely lose to a scripter like yourself.

Oh well,I think...

Kam · Mar 17, 2016

Keep up the good work!

Dude, come on, if you're participating solely for the aim of wining, then you're not doing it right. Nothing is set in stone - even if what I'm presenting looks great, there are a lot of factors to consider before a submission is declared the winner.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure if I'll have time to finish my submission. I'll try, though.

Kam · Mar 17, 2016

A wise man recently told me never to filter yourself or your ideas out before review - let the judge decide.

Chaosy · Mar 17, 2016

I can relate so much xYours Trulyx xd
Wise man says pick your fights wisely.

Yours Truly · Mar 17, 2016

What? No,no,no.I was being sarcastic <:V
Those memes were a joke.I will still crush your race to dusts >

LONG LIVE CTHULHU!!!

EDIT : @Spellbound : I just relized that your buildings doesn't have potraits.That will result as poor score,since I've read the previous contest and Veljkom has reduced score , regarding the potraits.

Wasabee · Mar 17, 2016

I want to see each races fight.

M1stery · Mar 17, 2016

How's Cthulhu race going YourTruly?

Yours Truly · Mar 18, 2016

Still a good thing that you aren't someone like me who gives up without actually trying.
Though I did try to join the contest but the race system screwed me over big time.

Yours Truly · Mar 18, 2016

What's with da storm troopah?

Chaosy · Mar 18, 2016

It's a Star Wars reference.

Sorry for the spoiler?

You got plenty of time. The deadline is in the first post along with the evaluation criteria and some other info.

FYI: deadline is Sunday 8th of May, so around 50 more days of contest.

Yours Truly · Mar 20, 2016

Hey guys!
I got a WIP video uploaded in youtube.Thanks to Spellbound for telling me how to record vids.

EDIT:
Note : The numbers at the side of the screen is just debug point orders I need to use for now.And the timed life for Cultists is a bug.
Also,the gold draining's lightning is being worked on to be able to fly through the Hall's Obelisk

M1stery · Mar 20, 2016

Yours Truly · Mar 20, 2016

M1stery · Mar 20, 2016

whoa man, i've gotta say that is a cool system!

Astaroth Zion · Mar 20, 2016

Here is a series of images showing the main gods of many cultures.
I bet there aren´t 100% accurate, yet they could be a good inspiration for anyone who wants to join.

PS: for my Aztec entry I am using 7 of the 10 Aztec Gods presented here (only missing one important one that I am adding to my entry). So 7/8 were represented, pretty neat.

Hmm it is decent. My biggest problem with that table is that it uses superhero costumes for some of them and some faulty names, but overall useful no doubt. Still for increased accuracy and a larger selection, I would just wiki it.

Hard to find models most likely.

Wasabee · Mar 23, 2016

Maybe or maybe not.
