If you've played the new DotA map, you will notice that now when you use a skill the button/icon gets passive borders that then transcend into the active one! I wonder how they managed to do this.. I'm totall puzzled?
 
Create 2 spells of the same kind, one wif the icon of the passive, the other is icon of the active.

Use a trigger to see what lvl it transcends to the active one and so, remove the passive ability and add in the active ability.
 
Have you actually played the map?
It doesn't just add an ability with an active icon. When you use an ability, the borders of the icon slowly turn from passive into active, while the cooldown decreases. It's really ingenieus
 
Riiight..you think such things as ingenious...I'd seen much better things done by map makers.
Well, fine wif me but no, I havent actually played the map so I wouldnt know what ur talking abt.

I love people who think they're so good by being rude :thdown: .

Anyways GeertPingen, maybe check into Image in triggers and such?
I also have no idea really how it's done ;) .

PS: I think it's ingenious too.

* Added a new subtle cooldown effect to make it a little clearer when spells are in cooldown and when they finish. This is mainly for long cooldown spells where it is sometimes difficult to tell. More work will be done in this area soon, but it needs a bit more time to make sure that anything extra is not visually intrusive. (PGRu-Unexpect3D)

It is actually a pretty nice touch. I think it's done with images.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
