Eccho:

This spell is really great. No flaws as far as I can see, easy and understable code and a good tooltip and good documentations.

I can not do anything less than to highly recommend this spell if this is what you are looking for. The GUI one is really as efficient a Gui spell can be.

Possible improvements: Optimising the Jass code (to be more efficient)

i dling im curios about how you get targeted units to float without making dummy units with GUI.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Great as always!

 

[Deuterium]

amazingly done!!

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Now with vJass.

Are you going to create vJass version of your other spells too?

 

[Paladon]

Thank you

@TBD
No. It's just practice.
And by the way, this version of Telekinesis is a new one.
It has nothing, except the special effects, taken from the old one.

 

[Bogdan-x]

how i can import spells?

 

[Asgard_Ragna]

Looks smoth and works flaweless. Good Job as always

 

[MapperMalte]

I think, the speed should increase during the soldiers fall.
Otherwise, the vJass thing is made well, but I don't like how it's coded.
It's nit bad, but I think it's ugly.
4/5.

 

[Kingz]

Great spell, good luck on making more vJass spells...
I thought the first version to be great and i think this one is too...
5/5 from me...

Nice you made it for the contestants^^

Of course.

 

[nerovesper]

As usual you are the GUI and MUI!


well now that your having Jass, what acronym will I put on JASS and vJASS for Paladon?? LOL! xD
Its hard to think of some thing from that.... maybe judge? xD

A nice new improved telekinesis. 5/5

 

[Zanmore]

Incredible spell, definitely useful 5/5

@Kingz ty

 

[Eccho]

I don't see anything to complain at at all here. Good job converting it. Easily read code and so on. It can be alittle more effecient, but very minor so (like I said) no complaints

I saw a minor flaw
you forgot to null the loc storing GetSpellTargetLoc. Other than that. Awesome!

 

[Paladon]

EDIT: Fixed.
Thank you.

 

[krisserz]

Heh funny ;D

 

[Cihparg]

Okay, If you just fix the ns: "Landing Time", It will be fine. Because, ATM, when the spell is level 1, It is kinda waiting the same time as the level 3 is waiting. So... It looks like the unit gets stunned =/

 

[calex3]

nice spell and triggering but i don't like effects

 

[Paladon]

You can really easily change them.

 

[Malcous]

Paladons spells > all !

 

[Dynasti]

Ey! So not true

truth

Or maybe..

 

[COMBO]

how i can import spells?

=.= copy paste every trigger correctly, even the dummy units and spell dummies and the spell. Then read the code and make it the exact same as the one in the original map.

 

[Burning_Iegion]

Good job dude!

 

[Paladon]

Thank you.

 

[jimd3]

this woud be good in a pokémon map like mewtwo and mew spell =D 5/5 REALY COOL SPELL!!

 

[dragor-X]

Nuuuuuuuuu!!! Paladon is vJassing!!! *confued*
Hey, I like it but I dont understand anything except the ''GUI part''... 4/5 cause I don't understand but because it's a ''report'', I'll judge it with my ''best efforts'' and my ''great knowledge''. one word: 5/5

 

[deathreaven]

This is really an awsome spell. It contains a lot of potential to be used in a lot of instances.

 

[Shadow Daemon]

Ok, this spell looks impressive, indeed. I checked the code and found some bugs (or pieces, that would be better to improve):

1.

        set loc    = null
        set caster = null
        call RemoveLocation(loc)

Removing null? Oh noes! ^_^ Should be:

        call RemoveLocation(loc)
        set loc    = null
        set caster = null

2.

        if Spell.counter == 0 then
            call PauseTimer(Spell.time)
        endif

This part of code runs on EVERY timer period. But we affect Spell.counter variable only in else-endif block.
So why not to move this condition here:

    // . . .
        call d.destroy()
        set Spell.counter = Spell.counter - 1
        set Spell.indx[i] = d.indx[Spell.counter]
        set i = i - 1
        // >> here <<
    endif

3. I would recommend to use 0.025 period instead of 0.01. This is not so important, but... Well, it's a matter of taste.

ehum is the download file 2.0 or 2.1? cause it says 2.0

[Paladon]

It was the 2.1 version. Well, i changed the download link name now

 

[baassee]

It was the 2.1 version. Well, i changed the download link name now

oh thought so but still thank you

 

[Paladon]

Updated.

 

[Fire and Ice]

The vJass version doesnt work, as with the game trigger. I downloaded and tested recently. apart from that, the GUI version is perfect.

 

[Paladon]

Works flawless for me.
What part of the spell did not work? Are you sure that you used JassNewGen?

 

[Fire and Ice]

I simply tested the map ingame. The World Editor automatically disabled the trigger.
Maybe its because i dont have JassNewGen? If so my greatest apologies coz i'm a noob at Jass (I've NEVER used it in my entire life). I don't know, but i'm open to criticism.

 

[Paladon]

Well, then simply open the map and instantly press the test button.
Do not open the trigger editor before, do not click on anything else.
Then you should be able to test it.

But you need JassNewGen to modify, view in Trigger Editor etc. it.

 

[Fire and Ice]

I think that's what i did, but i'll try it again. Thanks

EDIT(a few hours later): Yep I tested. The vJass trigger still gets disabled ingame. The World Editor registered 139 compile errors.

Line 131: Expected end of line.
Line 134: Expected a reserved type or handle type
Line 170: Expected a name
Line 171: Expected 'endloop'
Line 195: Expected a variable name
Line 220: Expected a function name

And so on. The above are just individual examples of the errors the World Editor listed. I've also tried re-downloading your map to test, but still doesn't work.
(Note: I dont know how to copy the text from the WE so i had to slowly type it down. Please excuse this)
Another thing i noticed. If you give this ability to a unit with enabled attack without making this a channeling spell, the flying units can still be attacked as though they were on the ground.
Otherwise a great spell. I am amazed at the amount of things you can do simply using GUI.

EDIT: Okay, i've figured out the problem. It'll work if i directly put the map in my maps folder and start the game directly without even opening the map in world editor, however this makes it impossible for importing. The problem lies with my World Editor cause it'll automatically disable custom scripting in the trigger.

 

[Shad0wyone]

When I press the test map button, it just opens WC3, and goes to the normal menu (with single player, battle.net, etc.), and when I try to go to single player, custom game, and select it, the menu goes up, and comes back down, I fixed that by using newgenjasspack to open it, but now it randomly freezes, mostly when I put the mouse over a certain spot, which is about where the "learn telekinesis" button is, very annoying, but when it works, it works really well.

 

[Paladon]

:/
You could test it without NewGen as well, if you just do not open the Trigger Editor before testing.

 

[Arman]

nice spell i will use it in my map +rep!

 

[FranzFerenc]

I really can't understand if I can use these spells...
I want to use your spell, Paladon, but when I open a new map for example, obviously, even if I import everything... nothing.
I want to know if I can use them in other maps. Or.. can you give me models or something similar?
what program do you use to create spells? I'd like to learn!
thank you
bye

 

[Paladon]

Map updated, works with the newest patch now.

@ FranzFerenc
Yes, these spells are thought to be used in other maps.
The program i've used is "just" the Wc3 World Editor.
If the included documentation is yet too hard to understand, try to search for a basic tutorial of spell importing and then try it again.

 

[NFWar]

Freaking nice!

 

[Vengeancekael]

You're still updating this? This is amazing dude xD Good job.

 

[Kingz]

It wasn't compatible with the newest patch due to the return bug he used to use.

Now it's fine

 

[Mainywc3sear]

its ur best spell 5/5

 

[xDeathKnightx]

I love it, it's great 5/5 +Rep

 

[Damned Blade]

This would be more extremley better if it it a 'real telekenesis', like on movies or tvs,
they can control the object freely..

but still good 4/5
