[Contest] Official Spell Contest #1

[AceHart]

Um... "channel" spells should stop when the caster dies...

 

[Pyrogasm]

Only if the effects occur during the channeling.

 

[AceHart]

If the effect only shows at the end of the channeling time, it definitely shouldn't happen if I don't make it to there.

Either way, it's really just weird if the caster is gone, and the spell, that presumably needs me to keep channeling, just goes on without me...
Though, yes, that may just depend on the spell.
Then again...

Who said that was the final version?

Updates for the win!

 

[darkRae]

Ghan_04, you made a typo in the description ( as if I'm needed to tell this )

"History: The Ion Cannon is a orbiting laser cannon that was constructed as..."

Edit: made some small changes in the triggers. but if you allready downloaded the spell theres no need to download it again since the changes wont show ingame.

 

[Arcane]

Deadline is November 4th?

Hm... I might try out for this, I need some practice spellmaking anyways, and I have two days off from school before then...


Will be using an idea that's been floating around in my head for a while:

Storm Wheel [Temporary name, unless I think of something better]

Will call down four bolts of lightning in a square around the caster, the bolts will then circle the caster while he channels, periodically discharging charged particles. The charged particles will move in a random fashion outwards, dealing damage and slowing the first unit that it encounters.


Just an idea. I have lots of those.

Now comes the actual MAKING of the spell. That'll be more difficult.

 

[Sevion]

Just a question: Why is it called Storm Wheel if it is in a shape of a Circle. Wheels tend to be Circles unless the designer is..... well yeah.

 

[Arcane]

You mean SQUARE the first time right?

Well, I made that up on the spot, and I did say it was a temporary name. I came up with wheel because it... er... spins.

 

[Pyrogasm]

Freaking circle spells. I hate them.

At any rate, I got some weird bugs with Gisly Barrage and I'm rewriting it from scratch.

 

[Demonwrath]

Simple question...you said these are channeling spell.

Does that mean the spell you make MUST be based off of a channeling spell? Can we not just give it an extended cast time and add effects with triggers?

Or does that not count?

 

[U are a noob]

As long as the spell Isn't instant cast and can be cut off.

 

[Demonwrath]

Okay, so like lets say I base my spell of Windwalk, yet using triggers pause the unit for X seconds, and with another trigger make it so if the unit is attacked it unpauses it and removes the Windwalk (still figuring out how to do that :\)

That's good right

Exactly but it needs to be able to be cut off.

hey emjlr3, do you want us to PM you our spells? or just post them and upload thme here?

See what others do.

 

[Demonwrath]

Well I figure I should build up suspense by giving you people my spell idea
As promised...a channeling spell for the Demon Hunter

Assassin Strike:
For 5 seconds the Hero goes invisible and searches for an unsuspecting enemy to kill. Once channeling is completed, he dashes to a random unit within 600 range of him, and attacks it from behind, dealing massive damage. If the damaged unit dies, he will target other units withing 200 range of the killed unit.
Level 1 - 200 damage, has one extra 'kill target'
Level 2 - 400 damage, has two extra 'kill targets'
Level 3 - 600 damage, has three extra 'kill targets'

So how is that for a Demon Hunter channeling spell XD

I should have it done in a few days and I will post screenies then

 

[AceHart]

Where's the channeling part in that?

 

[Demonwrath]

When he goes invisible, he channels for 5 seconds, if he moves or gets attacked, the spell gets cancelled
