SPELL CONTEST | theme: Hell | 29.06.08 - 13.07.08

No, comments are not fluff.

Comments are... comments, you see.

UPDATED, now that I have Newgen again! (Thanks KC!)

I commented a lot more lines, and lowered the amount of lines in the code. I also improved the speed of it, and improved the readability a lot.

I also made sure all the leaks were taken care of.

I tried to make the fires partially seethrough, and I also made them much smaller, so that players will still be able to see through the thick demonic haze.

^Maybe you should do a reversed christian cross for the hell theme like:

.....x.....
.....x.....
.....x.....
..xxxxx..
.....x.....

 

[UndeadDragon]

Good idea....

I might try that

I will see what it looks like and possibly change it in a couple of mins. (Easily configurable)

EDIT: Ok, the newest one (hopefully the last).

This time the cross goes like a reverse crucifix:

-------
---X---
---X---
--XXX--
---X---
-------

Count me in
And does the spell have to be implementable,or,well,just a spell?

 

[Andrewgosu]

Isn't just a spell already implementable?

However, if you mean configuration options, then they would be nice to have.

 

[FFMaster]

Hey my name isn't on the contestants list. I submitted my spell on page 8.

 

[D.V.D]

Well, Ill try to make a spell so you can sign me up too.

Are the extra effects from UMSWE allowed?
And is there any limit in the number of attachment systems?

 

[Vassilev]

hmmm.. sign me up

If UMSWE means World Editor Unlimited, then, no.

I don't support that World Editor add-on at all.

Configuration options I always have
But spells that have a lot of dummy units,spells,buffs,etc. can be a pain in the *** to import

 

[Forsakener]

That's why there should be Configuration Header, where the constants can easily be changed.

How can the configuration header help the user import dummy stuff?
Unless it has some hidden configuration copy-paste stuff function to copy them all

UMSWE is part of NewGen right? So I think it is allowed, since NewGen is allowed.

Field of Death

- effect changes

Spoiler

FIXED:

@ jnZ

I believe you're spell is in violation of the rules:


And it looks like you tried to use localized globals (Tried because you've done it wrong). You do something like local effect WDEffect and I thing that would be counted as a GUI-JASS hybrid.

- minor tooltip changes
- added zombie movement
- changed zombie spawning

Note! No GUI-JASS hybrids (pseudo locals, etc.)! They are not allowed.

i dont know how to destroy effects otherwise, the only thing i could do/did before is creating units with the effect models and add timers to them. btw what did i do wrong? thats how i read it in a tutorial about using locals in GUI

 

[Flare]

Here's a temporary solution to the patch issue (haven't tried it out yet, because I just re-installed). If it doesn't work, then I second the extension

@jNz:

What's wrong with doing it that way? I doubt you can lose points for using a dummy unit for effects (unless it results in leaks ) and it's adhering to the rules

btw what did i do wrong?

You declared a totally new local (the global variable WDEffect is actually udg_WDEffect ) instead of localizing the global
