How to make certain abilites? Quiz/Question

[adeoin]

Ok so beneath all these spoilers there are spells i need to know how to do. If you can answer how to do one i will + rep. I assume most of these spells will be hard. If you know how post the trigger.

Spoiler

Ability 1:
Wildfire- Fire mage stomps the floor and fire bolts comes blast out from the front, back and sides.

Spoiler

Ability 2:
Multi Slash- If you played Anime Fight then you would know what this spell may be. It's Ichigo's Ultimate. You create a bunch of "illusions" and then they just attack. And dissapear hard to explain

Spoiler

Ability 3:
War stomp- The unit does warstomp three times. Each time the warstomp effect getting bigger.

Spoiler

Ability 4:
Earth Wave- unit slowly floats up then quickly slams down causing 4 shockwaves to appear going different directions.

Spoiler

Ability 5:
Lightning Line- mage throws a line of lightning going straight and one direction

X-------X

X is the lightning. --- is sliding.

#3: 2 different dummies,one for dmg, and another dummy for sfx. (Skill is triggered to run 2 more times for the dummy.)

 

[adeoin]

oh. lemme try that. thanks +rep

Edit: It says i hafta spread rep first before giving it to you renendaru. What does that mean?

 

[NightShade]

means that you have to give rep to someone else first, I think.

#1: four dummy units, all the same, make them cast firebolt at the hero's point with offset of: (0,250), (250,0), (0,-250) and (-250,0).

oh thanks, how would i make the dummy unit invisible though? would i give them the ability windwalk? or like no model

 

[saw792]

Give them no model (ie, none.mdl), no attacks, the locust ability, plenty of mana and the flying movement type. Also no vision or shadow.

Actually giving them mana is a bad idea. What you should do is make a dummy spell that is the same as the hero spell (with its differences if you want to a spell like #3) but make the dummy spell you created require 0 mana and make the hero spell cost mana

 

[YourFace]

for the last one, i think you should use a shockwave ability and change the model file
well that didn't work but this might

Untitled Trigger 002
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Shockwave 200099
    Actions
        Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source (Position of (Triggering unit)) to target (Target point of ability being casted)

still using shockwave
wait .5 seconds
destry last created chain lighting effect

 

[saw792]

I generally give them mana as well as setting manacost to zero. What exactly could go wrong from that? You can't target them for mana drain, and custom triggered spells shouldn't include dummy units anyway.

hmm lol I guess your right there

 

[adeoin]

hmm what i meant was several lightnings not just one YourFace. but ill still + rep

 

[Renendaru]

I can try to make #3 for you if you want. It just requires a loop really, not that hard.

 

[adeoin]

hmmm shure ren wait as in make when you go into my map and make it or just post the trigger up here.

id like it if you posted the trigger up here
but i wouldnt mind if you went into my map and did it

 

[Renendaru]

I might do it in vJass for better efficiency, that okay with you?

 

[adeoin]

yeah, shure all i need to do is copy and paste right?

 

[Renendaru]

Yea, and needs NewGen.

 

[adeoin]

um where can i get newgen?

 

[Renendaru]

In the Useful Tools section, or go to the Jass help section.

 

[adeoin]

oh ok, tell me when you have finished the spell

 

[adeoin]

wait ren are you making it now or later?
