Tower Ideas

[Landmine]

Not so simple as the title may state.
I'm working on a tower defence (as well as my other project, Deserted Island), called Single Tower Defence. A description and screenshots would be available, but I'm trying to keep it more secret and unknown, the best I can do is tell you, the word Single pretty much means you are on your own. Screenshots would be available if there was anything to show. Its a TD.
Basically I have gotten to a point where I need a few ideas. If an idea is given, the tower will be made with you in mind (considering the idea makes it through).
Do not send the first idea that comes to your mind right now. I need towers that can fit into at least 1 of the 3 catagories (2 at the most).
1: Speed towers: towers with fast speed, yet lower damage.
2: Heavy towers: towers with high damage, but slow speed.
3: Multi-towers: towers that hurt random units when it attacks one unit.
I need towers that fit into Thats all. Add any special abilities or whatever. For example, my Acid Tower is a fast tower, but has poision abilities along with some others, yet my Reflection Tower has multiple shots and some other tricks, and you can guess its a multi-tower.
Anyways, I hope to see some good ideas. Enemy ideas are also welcome, just I'm trying to focus on towers for now.

Berseker Tower [Troll Berserker Model]
Speed Tower
Abilities: Berserker - This unit goes berserk for a few seconds every x attacks.

lol.. it rocks! haha..

Here is another one:

Wind Tower
Category: Speed Tower
Ability: Wind Blow (when attacks, has 5% chance to blow the enemy towards starting point)

 

[Landmine]

I like the Berserker tower idea. Thunder tower and Fire Caller are also interesting. Not sure how to do the Energy Cannon. Bandit tower also seems like a good idea. Wind tower is different. Going to see if I can get the ability to work though.
Bandit Tower: Complete
Beserker Tower: Complete
Thunder Tower: Undecided
Fire Caller Tower: Undecided
Wind Tower: In

 

[JansiGX]

How about this:

Tempest tower
Category : Speed towers
Ability: Casts Chain Lightening after killed enemy
___________________________________
Last Hope tower
Category : Speed towers
Ability: can get large boost to damage for extra gold. After some time damage returns to normal.
___________________________________
Gamble Heavy tower
Category : Heavy tower
Ability Turns into random heavy tower after being constructed.
___________________________________
Time Freezer
Category : Multi-towers
Ability : Pauses the enemy and makes it invulnerable for certain time
___________________________________
Confuser (could be with Panda Brewmaster's model)
Category : Multi-towers
Ability: has chance to make enemy run back to previous move region.



You asked some ideas for monster too:

1. Creeps with low hp but high regeneration rate. If your Heavy class towers are really slow these creeps could recover all damage before next attack making Speed towers being more effective.

2.Creeps with hardened skin ability. Damage done by speed towers should really suffer from that.

3.Creeps with over-powered hardened skin ability. That way creeps should loose minimum possible damage no mater how strong was your tower's attack making speed towers more effective.

4.Creep with berserk ability. At certain moment they could activate this ability to move faster and receive more damage at the same time.

 

[Landmine]

Tempest Tower: Neat idea. In
Last Hope Tower: I don't really think its needed. But I'll think about it. Undecided
Gamble Tower: Might use it for more then Heavy Towers in
Time Freezer: Could potentially ruins the game, as the game is time based (I know I didn't tell you this before, but yes, it is time based). Unused
Confuser Tower: Sound similar to Wind Tower. I'll give it a shot. In

List of Towers used:

Burner Tower

Category : Multi-Towers

Abilities:
- Every time it kills a unit, the corpse will burn in flames and deals AoE damage.

 

[Landmine]

Just an update:
Towers complete (from this topic):
Berserker Tower
Bandit tower
Burner Tower
(Other Towers have been complete, and some more triggers, so not many towers are complete)
Towers in progress or in waiting:
Wind Tower
Gamble Tower
Confuser tower
Towers that may be used if there is a need:
Thunder Tower
Fire caller Tower
Towers that won't be used for various reasons:
Time Freezer Tower: Breaks the game, as the entire point is to be fast and beat the timer.
Last Hope Tower: Don't feel it would ever be used (maybe under certain conditions it may be used in-game, but still not one of the towers you would pick)
Energy Cannon: Thinking it as being more of an ultimate tower then a normal one. I'm thinking of using it, but I have no idea of how it would work.
Keep coming up with ideas. So far they are great.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Fat Collector Tower
(model - Abomination)
Category: Heavy
Ability: every kill makes this unit gain more damage


Mind Tower
(model - Arcane Tower)
Category: Multi - Tower
Ability: attacks have a change to charm an enemy unit to attack other enemy units for a certain amount of time before it explodes, dealing damage around it.


Living Tower
(model - Ancient protector)
Category: Heavy
Ability: can unroot and root back into other areas.


Mine Tower
(model - Goblin Techies)
Category: Multi - Tower

[Byaku]

Battle tower
Category: Heavy tower
Ability: Every attack have X chance to have X bonus damage.

Water tower
Category: Speed tower
Ability: Summon water elemental

Attack tower
Category: Multi-tower
Ability: Has a Battle Roar ability that increase other tower attack

Vampire tower
Category: Speed tower
Ability: Locus swarm

 

[Zack1996]

Heavy Towers:

Spike Tower- Powerful tower that attacks with spikes. Every 5 attacks unleashes a circle of spikes that reduces the armour of units around the target.

Pain Tower- A tower that has barely any attack damage. However, each attack magnifies the pain of the target, causing each attack to deal more damage.

Soul Collector- A tower that can gather souls with each kill near it. The souls are converted to mana to enhance the attack of the tower. (Searing arrow?)

Speed Tower:

Missle Pad- A tower that fires missles rapidly, dealing great damage overtime with a minor splash.

Mystic Projector- A tower that attacks rapidly with magic. Each attack drains mana, without mana, this tower cannot attack. (Unit is attack, attacking unit equals to mystic projector, if mana of attacking unit not equals to zero, then do nothing, else order attacking unit to stop.)

Hope it helps :S

 

[Landmine]

New list:
Gamble Tower
Confuser Tower
Vampire Tower
Missle Pad Tower
Soul Collector Tower - - -(I'll take a crack at it)
Mind Tower Tower - - -(I'll see how it plays)
Mystic Projector Tower

Energy Cannon is still in altered waiting (waiting to find a way for it to work)...
Spike Tower is now in altered waiting...
Mine Tower is on the "On hand" list (if needed, it will be added)...
Battle Tower is on the "On Hand" list...

I tried the Fat Collector Tower, and I couldn't find a way to do it. No abilities like it, or triggers.
Pain Tower sounds like the same thing (add damage).


Map has been released: Single Tower Defence. Its also in my sig.

 

[Angry_Bovine]

I figured I would return the favor, Landmine, and give you some ideas of my own. If you still needed towers, of course.

Currently:

Shatter Tower (Multi-tower)
Fires a paralyzing bolt, dealing light damage and slowing the main target of the attack by X%. When the main target takes Y damage, he explodes, causing Z damage to him and all other targets around him.
[Might be a little complicated, but I figure it could be interesting.]

Volcano Projector (Heavy Tower)
Fires flaming bolts at the target, which have a high chance (X%, where X>50) to have a critical strike against targets. When the Volcano Projector lands 3 critical strikes in a row, the Volcano Projector begins spewing out fire in every direction, causing 8 cones of fire causing Y damage for Z seconds. The fires has range greater than or equal to its normal attack range.
[This one will require a custom critical strike system.]

Fill in the variables for whatever is suitable.

 

[benx_x]

Tower of toxins (Speed tower).
Model : A green tinted Crypt Fiend.
Missile : Ehh the dryads missile thing.
Does little damage to no, however it inflicts multiple debuffs randomly on its target which would consist of other tower debuffs along with a web ability with a decent cooldown, could even have a really really low chance to inject a heavy poison that can drop a normal non-boss, non-mechanical unit at a really fast rate.

 

[Just_Spectating]

for the fat collector tower, you can make a dummy item Tome of damage, and everytime the tower kills something you give the tome to it. (give the tower inventory but have the slot filled with an undroppable item, and call it like "Fat Collector")

 

[Landmine]

Thanks Angry_Bovine.
Shatter Tower: Will attempt
Volcano Projector: Will attempt, but in
Tower of Toxins: Fits into the speed tower theme. In.
Just_Spectating: explain. I am a noob at triggers. Mostly trial and fail, fail, success. New trigger... fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, not success.
The more complex triggers that are in the map have been learned from people who have helped with Deserted Island. Thanks to them.

 

[NoobinJass]

Prism Tower...(Multitower)

Give the tower, ability to cast chain lightning (edit the animation become more softly), then u auto-casting it. So blank the damage and give the chain lightning ability. That's all.

 

[Zack1996]

For the Soul collector tower, make it that when a unit dies, pick every unit of type soul collector and add mana.
Then when a unit is attacked, wait for condition (Or- Attacked unit is dead. / Attacked unit has buff of type Soul Collector or something). Then the action would be (Cause attacking unit to damage attacked unit for [Mana of Soul Collector x Whatever]).
This is probably not MUI thus you might have to create 2 variables, one called AttackedUnit and one AttackingUnit. Then add the custom scipt local unit udg_AttackedUnit and local unit udg_AttackingUnit to the trigger of the damage.
You should give the Soul collector a skill that give the unit a buff for you to check and give the ability a tooltip that tells the player about the specialty of the tower.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Incineration Tower
Speed
~when this unit kills a creep, it will incinerate, dealing damage to units around it.

Rocket Tower
Multi Tower
~has a X% chance to do a Rocket Cluster.

 

[Zinive]

Cry me a river tower (speed tower and sorry i don't know a name for this one )

Each time a attack reaches the end this tower gains 5% more damage.

Optional addition: Each 100 kills done by this tower you gain 1 additional chance

Russian Roulette (hmm this does not really match any conditions)
A hit by this tower can have any of this effects
stuns for 10 seconds.
reduces armor by 20 for 10 seconds
casts a frost nova for average damage and 5 second slow
making the unit run back to the starting point (this part shouldn't work on bosses)
Dealing massive damage to that unit
Healing the unit by 5% and increasing its move speed by 50%

Bolter (Heavy Tower)
Deals heavy damage to the unit it hits and any unit behind that one.

 

[zach_kirov]

Earth Tower (Tentacle Model)
Category: speed tower

Abilities:
1. Permanent Immolation
2. Killer's Blink (After killing a unit, auto blink to that dying unit's position)

 

[Saishy]

Spirit Tower
Cattegory: Multi-Tower
Abilitys: Locust (With wisp model instead of locusts)
2- Upgrade for more wisps, attack, etc...

 

[Just_Spectating]

Stampede Tower
Multi Tower

Instead of attacks it uses Stampede.

 

[Landmine]

Prism Tower: Hmm. Interesting. If I can find a way to have Chain Lightning on autocast its In.
Soul Tower is still confusing me.
Incineration Tower: Very similar to Burner Tower, which creates a flame for a few seconds. Might make it a better version. Temporarily In.
Rocket Tower: Might just give it 100% chance (every attack, it waill do one, if the cooldown is at 0). In.
CMAR Tower: Confused at the concept. Waiting Listed.
Russian Roulet Tower: Got one like it in the go (Tower of Toxins). I might make it a multi-tower though. Yet I have a problem with towers casting preset random abilities. Help?
Bolt Tower: In.
Earth tower: This will need a huge range for immolation. I like the idea (minus the blink, game just doesn't work with it). In.
Spirit Tower: Need more explanation.
Stampede Tower: I'll give it a shot. In.

Just incase you guys didn't catch on:
Green means the tower is in/temporarily in.
Orange means it has conditions for it to be in or it may have a problem.
Red means there is a problem or triggering is difficult (I am no pro at triggering). The tower still has a chance to get in if there is problems.
Red may also mean the tower will not be used. Usually there will be just the Unused word, not the entire tower.
I'll try and compile another list of which towers are already used, which towers will be used, which towers are in waiting, which towers wont be used and which towers I need help to get working. Might be awhile (the long list of towers).

 

[Just_Spectating]

Storm Tower
Multi-tower
this tower, instead of attacking, has a maelstrom that is always around this tower.

[Saishy]

About the Spirit tower:

The ability locust summons many locusts that fly around the owner and attacks anything that comes close, so, you can instead of locust models, use wisps models to make it look like are spirits flying.

Understand?

 

[Just_Spectating]

he means the Locust Swarm ability by the crypt lord.

 

[Landmine]

I get it. I'll list the towers that will be used in a few days at the lastest. I'll keep mini-updates throughout.

 

[Landmine]

<--Bump-->
Any more ideas?

 

[JansiGX]

Here's more:

Toxic Cloud Tower
Speed Tower
Creates Could of toxins at the place of killed enemy. Toxins damages and slows unit that walks through, fades after some time.
__________________________________

Meteor Tower
Heavy Tower
Has Star Fall that requires mana. Tower receives mana for each kill.
__________________________________

Gatling Gun
Speed Tower
Has very low damage with 4-5% chance to make x10 Critical hit.
__________________________________
Sphere Tower
Multi-Tower
2 or more spheres are rotating around the tower and attacks enemy.
I know you don't ask for trigger but I wanted to check if this is possible so I tried to make it myself. I attached my way how I done it. Hope you don't mind.

 

[Landmine]

K. I'll look at it ASAP.

 

[Saishy]

Sprout Tower
Multi-Tower
- Every time it kills a unit, a little tower sprout from its corpse. (Temporally)

Balloon Tower
Speed-Tower
- Deals no damage, every time it attacks a unit the unit gets bigger and slower, after some hits the unit blow up dealing area damage. (OMG I'M VERY CREATIVE XD)

 

[Landmine]

Sphere Tower
Multi-Tower
2 or more spheres are rotating around the tower and attacks enemy.
I know you don't ask for trigger but I wanted to check if this is possible so I tried to make it myself. I attached my way how I done it. Hope you don't mind.

From what I see, the trigger just spawns a sphere within the map boundaries. It does not circle the tower or anything. I like the idea though. I'll definatly try.
Other then the Balloon Tower, everything looks fine. I'll try and incorperate them. As for the Balloon Tower, I'll see how the triggering goes.

 

[Saishy]

Try blodlust with negative values for mov speed and positive values for unit size.
Or just trigger unit size, there is a option for that, I think its on Animation Tag.

 

[Zack1996]

I guess I will suggest more ideas

Beast Summoner [Special]
Has no attack but can summon animals to help you fight.

Scorch Cannon [Heavy]
Powerful attacks that leaves fire on the ground (burning oil).

Blade Flinger [Speed]
Throws blades that hits enemies behind the original target.

Storm Caller [Multi]
Each attack summons lightning from the sky which deals damage.

Boulder Bomber [Heavy]
Shoots boulders that stuns an AoE (Just give him the orb of lightning skill with an inferno based skill that summons some dummy units and stuns AoE)

Water Blaster [Speed]
Shoots streams of water extremely quickly. Attacks units randomly (changes target after a few attacks).

I hope it helps

[Just_Spectating]

Blizzard Tower
Multi Tower
Instead of attacks, it uses Blizzard

 

[Saishy]

Lol, if you want I can make all the towers you think triggering is hard.
They are easy, believe me.

Example of spirit tower:

- Unit finishes upgrade
- Triggering unit equal to Spirit Tower
- Order triggering unit to "Locust"

- Unit stops casting an ability
- Triggering unit equal to Spirit Tower
- Order triggering unit to "Locust"

And you only need to change locust. Put a low cd and increase duration...

The balloon tower is easy too...

Woops, I ment the Sphere Tower . But what you are saying is that you want the Spirit Tower to constantly be casting 'locust'?
Explain the Sphere Tower and the Balloon Tower (considering that you know how to do them, and I will add your name into the credits list if you do).
Blizzard Tower seems interesting. I'll think I'll add it (going to update the huge list, and link it from the first post).

 

[Saishy]

Explain the Sphere Tower and the Balloon Tower (considering that you know how to do them, and I will add your name into the credits list if you do)..

That mean you are not giving us credits by our ideas? ¬¬

• Balloon Tower
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Balloon Tower
  • Actions
    • Animation - Change (Attacked unit)'s size to (110.00%, 110.00%, 110.00%) of its original size
    • Unit - Set (Attacked unit) movement speed to ((Default movement speed of (Attacked unit)) - 10.00)

The sphere tower I can make too, I already knows how to do it quickly, but since its not all trigger-based I can't post here.
You would have to give me the map

Edit: Well I will explain the concept:

- Create a unit with a custom phoenix fire ability.
- Create a trigger that spawns two units when the tower is finished
- Rotate them around the tower.

Just as a notice, the new version is out. You can use that.
As for the trigger, that makes sence. Yet if the tower isn't supposed to deal damage, how would I get the unit to die when its modle size is big enough?
Ideas are still open for new ones.

Well, depends of how many shoots the unit needs to blow up.
But you can always have a dummy ability that don't show up, like a item ability, who do nothing, with different levels, increase the level each attack, and them blow the unit when you wanna :3

I found a problem while working on the Balloon Tower. When you increase the size of the unit, its from the original unit size (1 or 1.2 or whatever). So when the trigger activates, it only works for 1 shot. it doesn't keep going and going unfortunatly.
I still have the problem with the Tower of Toxins (which is why I suggest you don't use it). As a reminder, is there anyway of casting random abilities without jass (or even with)?
Anyways, as usual, ideas of all kinds are welcome.

Well, depending of the number of blows need to kill the unit, create an dummy ability that does nothing and don't show on the unit, make it have X levels (where x is the numbers of shoots to blow up the unit), each shot increase the level of ability by 1 (remember to add the ability to the unit on the first shoot).

So you can make many IF inside the trigger with different animations sizes!

[Charming Tower]
Category: Heavy Towers
Slow cooldown, but when hits convices the creep and the creep will fight for you, but he will be given an expiration timer.
-----------------------------------------------------
[Bloody Tower]
Catergory: Speed Towers
More like a boss-fighter, deals the one quarter of the life the target has lost. The more injured it is, the more damage it takes.
-----------------------------------------------------
[Bounding Tower]
Category: Multi-Towers
When attacks gives 'Spirit Link' and the units will share the damage taken, with an increasing factor.
-----------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------
[Fear Tower]

-----------------------------------------------------
[rainbow][Magnetic Tower]
Category: Multi-Towers
Splash tower, every units in the area of effect are moved instantly to the center of the area. (Good to make the units stick together and use splash damage and slow.)[/rainbow]

 

[Just_Spectating]

Magnetic tower has already been done.

 

[Zinive]

For some strange reason i can't see page 4 of this thread so i hope i don't necro post here.

-Cry Me A River Tower (C-MART) (Not enough information)

Well the Basic idea is having a weak tower at the start it deals like 5 damage (well you have to set the right damage since i don't know your balancing)

Now lets say 10 units spawn and you could just kill 7 of them and 3 passed the line. The tower would increase its damage by something like 5 per unit passed so it would do 20 from now on.
To archive such a effect you could make a spell based on engineering upgrade (Goblin Tinker ability) call it something like damage bonus. Remove the bonus from this spell except the damage bonus of 5 give it 100 levels.

So now you need a trigger like

• Event
  • unit entered (finishing line)
• Condition
• Action

Hmmm. I've got a lot of tower ideas that involve starting with little or no attack, then having the damage increase. The problem with the C-MART tower is automatically you get 20 kills or you lose. Its a single tower defence.
Charming tower has been done.
Bloody tower sounds interesting.
Bounding tower I'm not sure.
Lightning tower has ben suggested before.
Fear and Magnetic towers have been done.

As I have revived the Single Tower Defence topic, I think its a good idea to bring this back. I still am accepting idea for anything. Post any ideas you have, as people with other TD's on the go can use some of the ideas (though my comments are directed towards my map). As a reminder, the first post includes some information that you may want (official tower list, links and all that).
