Spell Phantom Arrow

[duyen]

This is based off an AoM spell, however my spell is simpler and does different things but all in all it looks the same.

In AoM, the bats bring to life any units it kills for your army and the arrow does not stun.

This is not MUI.

Tooltip:

Spoiler

Shoots out a black arrow, which when it reaches the target point, it stuns the units hit and, bats fly out in all directions dealing damage to all units in range. Damage increases the higher the level is.

(The little ripple in the water was where the Black Arrow landed)

(Also take note: It looks way better ingame)

Code:

        Set BA_Points[22] = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Set BA_Level = (Level of Black Arrow  for (Triggering unit))
        Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at BA_Points[21] facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Tinker - Cluster Rockets BA_Points[22]

        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_BA_Points[21])
        Wait 0.80 seconds
        Trigger - Run Bats <gen> (ignoring conditions)

>>This is based off an AoM spell
Actually, what is "AoM" ?
Aircraft Operating Manual came to my mind.

And, where is the screenshot?

 

[duyen]

I'm uploading screenshot and AoM is Age of Myths, probably the best coded wc3 game out there. (www.ageofmyths.org)

EDIT: Screenshot up

Obviously you are pointing about other games are rubbishes.

@Spell
I wonder why not put 2 code in 1 spoiler tag?..

And, have a nicer tooltip next time in your spell?

 

[duyen]

Have a nicer tooltip? Um wtf?

>I wonder why not put 2 code in 1 spoiler tag?..

Spoiler tags are pimp.

Anything else that really is about the spell? Like codeing, eye candy etc.

 

[Cohadar]

Is this spell MUI ?

 

[~GaLs~]

Did you realise that the enemy is stunned before the arrow is reached?

Edit -
>>Is this spell MUI ?
I don't think so... there is Wait 0.80 in his code.

 

[duyen]

It is not MUI.

 

[Cohadar]

The way to make things MUI in GUI (by using PUI)

pure poetry

 

[Cohadar]

Is it at least MPI?

 

[Flare]

so, its essentially a nova spell that has almost no relation to the AoM spell apart from visuals... imo, its pretty bland, nothing really original in it (considering A: you made it look like an AoM spell and B: its a nova, and there isnt anything new/interesting about nova spells as far as im concerned)

edit: also, you could have just used 2 points variables with no arrays, rather than using one variable with arrays. creating/destroying points that dont have an array is alot easier than doing it with points that have arrays

In case you didn't notice, a spell with a similar name has recently been approved in the section. You might want to change your spell's name.

 

[duyen]

I know, and I apologize but I can't think of a better name.

 

[Oninuva]

Name it Anman64's Arrow of Doom.

 

[Flare]

If you don't mind me suggesting a name, how about Phantom Arrow?

 

[duyen]

Hmm I like Phantom Arrow

Can you change name Dax?

 

[Hero]

Anman64 if you would like I can make a JASS version probably tomorrow or into the Weekend and post it.

You can if you want to...

Is there a reason this has not been approved?

Just wait for a mod or higher to come over.

Good!

• The tooltip and spell name don't fit. This is Phantom Arrow, not Black Arrow. Might want to fix some syntax issues in the tooltip. There is also no "Learn" tooltip.
• I noticed one thing while testing (and fixed it): The arrow is launched from far above the head of the ranger. Reducing the "Art - Projectile Launch - Z" field under "Dummy Unit" in the Object Editor solved this.
• This spell is maybe a bit too simplistic...

The spell being too simple shouldn't prevent it from being approved, although further spells should be developped a little more

Fix those small issues and I will approve it.

Keep it up!
