[Contest] Holy Spells Contest!

[Exide]

Awesome spell, Daxtreme.
Made me curse in awe when I used it the first time.
It should be channeling, though, imo.

 

[Sim]

Let's say the sun does it all for you

Good point though, I forgot about making it channeling >_<

The end of the contest was coming quite fast and so I made it fast.

 

[Squll2]

oh god 6 days until i got a ton of work to do...

 

[Sim]

Alright, spell edited.

I still have no idea why it causes more lag at higher levels >_<

 

[emjlr3]

after looking through it I am not sure either, you do nothing "more" or "more often" at higher levels, it just has a greater effect, as far as stat leveling and such goes

 

[Pyrogasm]

So everyone experiences that extra lag at levels 3 and 4... not just me?

 

[Sim]

Not me

It only lags when I cast about 4 copies of the spell at the same time...

 

[lh2705]

Am I too late if I wanna participate?

 

[Pyrogasm]

No. You have ~5 days left.

 

[lh2705]

Aight..

I'll post my submission then.

Spell - Holy Judgement

This is just the middle phase.
There are three phases. The Channeling/Damage/Heal phases.
Go see the map to view it all nicely .

Has 4 GUI triggers so MUI is a nono(Haven't learned JASS still). But I don't care .

Enjoy!

I've noticed that in a bunch of tool tips it says "holy" at least twice. Use some more synonyms . It gets kind of stupid when you've read "holy" so many times. I know this is a holy spell contest, but come on. There are more words that mean "holy" than just "holy"

 

[Uberplayer]

I have a small problem with my spell.. So am I allowed to ask for help in the forums?

WIP SCREEN, including the problem.

Most definitely my thoughts also.

And yes, Überplayer, you may ask for help in the forums.

agreed.. urgh i can hardly tell whos spell is who from looking at the titles im like.. omg do i have to open all of them JUST to find this persons?

>Uberplayer

as long as it doesnt involve the majority of the code thats a problem, yes.

 

[Sevion]

Überplayer, if you need help, please tell us what is wrong else we can't really help can we?

 

[waaaks!]

sweet spells.....i dont like to join, maybe because im out of ideas...and im not a eye candy type of spellmaker...

 

[~GaLs~]

You could really made some easy spell but with ur own model...i meant the model you made by from scratch

 

[Uberplayer]

@People who said my name

I am not allowed to ask for it as it's a big error in the code, as Squll2 said that I can't ask about it.

and if all these were wrong, then u couldnt ask for help. but for example if something like this was wrong..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

then its ok to ask, if you think u know whats wrong but dont know how to fix it

Edit: if your problem was the GetRandomLocINCircle thing, then thats ok to ask for help with -_- please just pm me with your problem and ill see if its a big enough problem to be not allowed to ask for help with or not.

//Implement:
//
//1. Extract the HolySpiral.MDX from import manager, and import it into your map.   
//2. Copy the Heavenly Cry spell from object editor, and paste it into your map.
//3. Copy the Heavenly Cry Dummy unit from object editor, and paste it into your map.
//4. Copy the this trigger to your map.
//5. Replace rawcodes from the ConfigurationMenu if needed.

//Tip. I recommend you to set the dummy units height same as you have in ConfigurationMenu. 
//     due to few graphic issues. Remember that you can set height value in object editor 
//     to be bigger than 1000 by holding shift down, and then pressing enter.
