Summons a Man Eating Plant with some Tendrils which will pull enemys inside. Enemys getting to near get slowed and eaten for some damage.


But this is more than just a simple spell. With its huge possibility of modification its nearly a system :p i added many option and e.g. its possible to create nearly everything within seconds ... whatever :D e.g. a Doc Oc

Bribe: The code is really weird with a lot of if/else blocks that do nothing. "adjustloc" leaks a location handle (because it is a local location that you return, it doesn't recycle the handle ID).

According to one of our Hive members it also doesn't work with multi-cast but I have not confirmed this.

You shouldn't be using locations anywhere here, anyway.

The code is some of the most unreadable I've ever seen. You should store big, repeat-reference things which hinder readability into locals so that your code makes more sense.

I really love this spell.

By the way, are you able to configure the spell when a unit is being grabbed by the plant again?

For example if a footman is being grabbed by the plant, I want it to take 5 seconds before this unit can be grabbed again.

If it would be too much trouble forget it.


Edit: Also, when I tried to import the spell to my map, the tendrils had about 0 height (all of them) and dissapeared after 4 seconds. I tried to fix the GetUnitZ function since I had one with the same name and changed it to GetUnitZZ, still didn't work, changed it back to GetUnitZ and disabled my other trigger that used the same name, still the same.

Really nice 5/5 for the spell^^

Now the thing that interests me is the dummy unit's Z facing, how many angles can the dummy model support?
All 360 or?
I also want to know when refering to facingAngle is that unit facing angle(SetUnitZFacing function) or some custom one?
I may snatch the dummy model from the map for my needs.

Strange how there aren't any spells in the directors cut, isn't it?

I really love this spell.

By the way, are you able to configure the spell when a unit is being grabbed by the plant again?

For example if a footman is being grabbed by the plant, I want it to take 5 seconds before this unit can be grabbed again.

If it would be too much trouble forget it.


Edit: Also, when I tried to import the spell to my map, the tendrils had about 0 height (all of them) and dissapeared after 4 seconds. I tried to fix the GetUnitZ function since I had one with the same name and changed it to GetUnitZZ, still didn't work, changed it back to GetUnitZ and disabled my other trigger that used the same name, still the same.

Yes i could make that delayed, this would not be hard
i just goota add a delayed Removal from the "PulledUnits" group

Are you sure your dummy has "flying" as the movement type ? Ive got no idea why the tendrils should disappear faster Oo
else if you got problems send me your map i can take a look at it

Because its scoped the function should not double because everything gets a "Plant" Prefix

The model has 270 different animations for the Z Facing but because there are not 1° steps it supports all degrees
This function you mentioned stets the dummys Angle, thats true
If you use it please credit N-a-z-g-u-l because he made that model
i guess Vexorian used such a model the first time in his caster system

I also had some bugs when uploading it

most times i get an 417 exceptation failed message when submissing anything
then after trying again it works. This time it was strange
it told me the spell would exist but it did not really, was not in spell database and now shown as an Resource of mine
but it was linked in the error message so i deleted it but it was still kinda there and disabled uploading it till i saved it with the WE again and renamed it

I tried to edit with jpgn and it had a million errors ane it would work
Click to expand...
thx 4 sending me

I did not get million bugs but i also got some
this is no bug of this spell, but a strange wc3 peculiarity
It has to do with the Model strings in GUI and Jass. they are not the same because in GUI they got "\" between each keywordk and in Jass they got "\\"

so due you copied the string out of an GUI trigger i guess it buggs.

change the string to added form "Doodads\Ruins\Plants\Ruins_Flower\Ruins_Flower1.mdl" to "Doodads\\Ruins\\Plants\\Ruins_Flower\\Ruins_Flower1.mdl" and it works :)

very creative idea in my option. spell looks cool and nice use of dummy (angle). what is most impressive is that you as well made spell more editable then your older ones. code as well looks a little more readable. i can see you are still not using array extended structs but thats your decision, i just thought that it would not just be a little faster (i dont care about this so much) i thought it would be easier for you to code your spell...

anyway this is nice job i am sure this can be usefull in many wc modes...

Leakless: as fare as i can see it is.

MUI: as well, can be cast by any amount of units at same time.

Bug free: we can never know (well you found my hard bug) but seems i cant find any bug in your spell, so sry and gj

Idea: Very nice idea its different from others especially that dummy z angle (well done)

Editable: Seems editable enough, which means new spell from this one can be dones quickly...

Usefull: I think it can be quite usefull for wc maps / mods...


Overall in my option its a nice spell and i like it +rep for that hard work!
Greets!

Help? / Help!

ERROR!
Hey erm, I don't know if other people have this... but as soon as I change something in the script and try to test that (seriously anything.. I pressed space and then backspace and tested), it just won't start up the map and it comes up with this: (430 compile errors). :sad:

Looks awesome but I'm having some problems.

I'm attempting to use it so the caster is a plant, but whenever I import it it doesn't work. Even if I don't make any changes to the trigger besides changing the values of the init, slow, and damage abilities, it doesn't do anything. Any help? ><
