Time Stop


Completely stops the time for all enemy units within
an area around the caster
100% Multi-User instancable and stacks properly
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯


This is my very first spell.
It follows the JESP standard and is written in vJass. In this spell I've focused more on a userfriendly and easy Setup section rather than optimization. For example, I added the function Pick() so that Targets() would take 'target' instead of GetFilterUnit() as an argument.
I didn't know that such a spell already existed in DotA when I started my work, so don't judge my creativity (which sucks, but I'm not a stealer).
And please, when reviewing my script don't tell me "use structs man, you suck". I don't know them yet, or at least when I'm writing this.

Ignore hvo-busterkomo's review. It was for 1.0 and alot has been changed in scripting since then.

Constructive feedback and critisism is most welcome :thumbs_up:
No credits is required when used in your map, though a shiny sphere would be nice.

This resource is frequently updated, whenever bugs are discovered or code improvement is found.
When you see that a new version is released, please tell me what you think about it. If you feel uncomfortable with reviving a spell (you can't really 'revive' a spell which has been updated...), you can PM me with opinions (actually, I want you to PM me with them).



Pros and Cons
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[+] Follows the JESP standard (document included in this map)
--[+] Fully customizable in a clear Setup section
--[+] 100% Multi User Instancable
--[+] Easy to import with no configuration problems
[+] Neat special effect with lots of customization
[+] Should be leakless, though one can never be sure
[-] Requires an additional unit
[-] Special effect settings outside the Setup section
[-] If you use other spells with the PauseUnit() native,
----you have to replace it with PauseUnitEx() or Time Stop
----will cause bugs

Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- A vJass compiler (I recommend JassHelper by Vexorian, get it with Jass NewGen Pack)
- CSSafety
--- TimerUtils by Vexorian
--- GroupUtils by Rising_Dusk
- PauseUtils (Included in map. If possible replace with UnitToggling)

Awards
- 103 Downloads the first 48 hours
- More than 1000 total downloads
- Was Newest Spell on hive for a long period (19 days counted so far)
- Record-fast import time of 2:56 (everything ready to use) on a moderatly sized map

1.3.2
- Added Jass version

1.3.1
- Removed an old debug call

1.3 - The new age
- Changed the AllowedTargets() so it would be easier to manipulate
- Remade the system so it now uses a public stack module instead of a private one
- Moved AllowedTargets() out of Advanced Functions section
- Renamed StackingCounter to ReferanceCounter
- Renamed setup function Range() to AreaOfEffect()

1.2 - The next generation
- Replaced the H2I and resized arrays with Hashtables
- Added a Advanced Setup section, which includes
--- AdditionalSpecialEffects() [removed the EFFECT_SCALE and EFFECT_FLY_HEIGHT global constants for this]
--- RevertTimeScale() [For special cases of maps]
--- AllowedTargets() [Units that can be affected]
--- PreloadAbility() [Anti first-time-lag]
- Added a trigger which resets a 'stopped' units animation speed if it's killed (trigger is automatically disabled when not used)
- Enhanced the spell with GroupUtils
- Added comments to the code
- Renamed SPECIAL_DUMMY_ID to EFFECT_DUMMY_ID
- Tweaked the header
- Changed import guide, aswell as added comment windows with additional information

1.1 - The timer era
- Replaced TriggerSleepAction() with timers (using TimerUtils)
- Replaced the FirstOfGroup() looping with ForGroup()
- Properly destroyed and cleaned the all[] group
- Changed the special effect's fly height speed to 0. instead or 90000.
- Made the Range() and Duration() functions constant
- Removed the two unnecessary GUI globals from the map
- Moved the first 5 test creeps slightly closer to the bridge

1.0 - Initial release
Copy and paste these triggers* to your map:
----- Time Stop
----- TimerUtils
----- GroupUtils
----- PauseUtils
Copy and paste these objects to your map:
----- Abilities\\SPELL_ID
----- Units\\EFFECT_DUMMY_ID
----- Units\\DUMMY_ID
Make sure the Setup section contains all the correct rawcodes:
----- SPELL_ID
----- DUMMY_ID
----- EFFECT_DUMMY_ID

Now you're set. Enjoy.

* The 'triggers' refered to here are the trigger window objects in the map, but they are indeed not triggers.
This is the JESP standard document, if a map contains this document it means that there are
spells that follow this standard.

Spells of this map that follow the standard:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Time Stop

Advantages of the Standard
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Implementing spells that follow the standard is relatively easier than implementing JASS
spells that don't follow the standard.

- Configuring/Balancing spells that follow the standard is relatively easier than
implementing JASS spells that don't follow the standard.

- Users may do the following procedure to make a new ability that uses the spell's script :

* Create a new Trigger with a name (case sensitive)
* Convert that trigger to custom text.
* Copy the spell's script to a text editor like Notepad or your OS equivalent.
* Replace the spell's Code name with the name you used on the trigger.
* Copy the new text to the new trigger
* Duplicate the Spell's original objects to have new ones for the new spell script.

You are now able to use that new version of the spell.

- In case two guys give the same name to 2 different spells, there are no conflict problems
because you can easily change the name of one of them

What is the JESP Standard?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The JESP standard was designed to make spell sharing much better. And to make sure JASS
enhanced spells follow a rule, to prevent chaos.

What does JESP Standard stands for?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
JASS
Enhanced
Spell
Pseudotemplate

Requirements for a spell to follow the JESP Standard
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- The spell is written in JASS
- The spell is 100% multi instanceable.
- The spell script is ready to support spells of any number of levels.
(default config header is not required to support all of them)

- The Spell has a specific code name.

- The Spell's trigger must have the spell's codename as name

- The Spell's InitTrig function must be named: InitTrig_<CodeName>

- The spell has a configuration header.

- It is mandatory that rawcodes of objects are configurable in the header.

- All the spell's specific code is inside the spell's "Trigger" (Trigger== that custom text
slot that world editor calls Trigger, the spell may use as many 'trigger' OBJECTS as needed)

- Every spell-specific single identifier or key works in such a way that reproducing the
spell's trigger but after performing a text-replace of codename with another name (and thus
renaming the cloned trigger to the new code name) it won't cause compile errors / conflicts
when playing the map.

- There is no code inside the spell's "Trigger" that is not specific to the spell.

- There are no requirements for GUI variables that are specific to the spell. If a system
used by the spell requires GUI variables the code for the system must be outside the "Trigger"

- Eyecandy and spell's balance have to be easy to configure

- The name of the author should be included in the spell's script.

- The reason to exist of this standard is spell sharing. This document should be included
within the map. And it should specify which spell follows the standard, in the top list.

Pathetic use of another systems for spell

IF you use JGNP, you can easy write same spell with STRUCTS and it will not require all these tons of systems.

It's all about code...

OMG, i looked trough code, that's very bad.... 0/5 for code
Click to expand...

[Off-Topic] I really must say, you most certainly managed to aggro me ><. You're being way to negative, with no real critisicm, just that it sucks... what can Cheezeman use it for? I haven't seen you make any spell at all, all I could find in your resources was a map, that was not very well rated.

I woulden't know about the coding, but it seems like a nice spell, and so what if it's a warstomp with other effects, if you have this you could easily improve it as someone suggested, by making units stop when entering the bubble, plus warstomp stuns the units and giving the stun animation, this keeps the animation they had while being stunned - I like it :)

Hey, good point... But the balance wouldn't match Blizzard's design.
Then again, no one really cares about that anymore, so it'll be equal.

For 1.3
3: Gonna make it optional to target ground or no target (pretty easy but it's gonna have to wait for 1.3)
4: Make some mathmatical function that changes the bubble's size according to Area (only works for current effect)

And I'm glad you still read this Deuterium :grin:

It's a beauty, sadly I don't know enough to criticize the spell. I can only say that I love it.

If you really want me to, I can make a Jass version (it's not that hard) but it'd be alot better if you got vJass instead.
Did you try running the program even if it said some DLL files were viruses? It worked for me, probably because I don't use UMSWE or ReinventingTheCraft

All you need to know and change is in the header, in which you can set all your values and balance the spell.
Only hard thing I can think of is SPELL_ID, DUMMY_ID etc. Just copy the dummy unit as I said, and hit Ctrl+D in the object editor to see the rawcode (id) of the unit and then put it in the field (SPELL_ID = 'A000').

I'll update this thread (and this post too) when I've added a jass version

Edit: Yep, updated.
