[Andrewgosu]

When we submit these kind of spells, is it only to the purpose of this contest?

The spell has to made specifically for this contest.

However, after the results have been announced, you can do whatever you want with it, submit it to the Resource section if you wish.

Wait, there's a limit on the Contestants?

No, there isn't.

I was just wondering.

Q&As
(more like As)
No,this is not the final tooltip.
Yes,this is the test map (sryz)
There's more than effects I'm adding.
Coodown,mana cost,stuff,stuff and more stuff will be edited.

Still,test out the map,way better than screenshots.

EDIT:

Woah,from now on I'm testing with sound xD.The "deal damage" thing sounds like someone's attacking

EDIT 2:

Nope,it's from the "you have not disabled the attack of the dummy units,dumbass" fatal error...

 

[darkRae]

Well, anyway, here's mine:
(finished earlier than I thought)

Conjure Demon
Opens a Portal to Hell. The Portal remains until it is strong enough for the Demon to step in. The presence of the Portal deals minor damage to nearby ground units, also randomly spitting hazardous debris every once and a while, and after the summoning is finished nearby enemy ground units are stunned for 2 seconds.
Demon Warrior lasts 45 seconds.
Level 1 - Takes 6 seconds to summon a weak Demon Warrior.
Level 2 - Takes 5 seconds to summon a lesser Demon Warrior.
Level 3 - Takes 4 seconds to summon a greater Demon Warrior.

Made in GUI, and is MUI.
Lag? Well, when I tested, casting it once drops my FPS under 60 (normally it's 60-65) while casting it three times before the first one stops drops my FPS under 40 (!)

Well, there's a cooldown, so it won't lag that much.
EDIT01: Some modification on how the Demon appears.
EDIT02: Reduced a bit lag, in return lowering eye-candy
EDIT03: Changed the icon and some other stuffs.

Is it okay if I upload my map in a protected file until closer to the finishing time?
Don't want people to seee my mega messy code yet ;p

 

[Draphoelix]

I was done with the spell in 2 days.. Now I just have to attach it, I don't get a single idea to improve it, cause I'm afraid to make it inbalance in melee games + not ulti.

GUI and MUI

 

[The Undaddy]

Just a question,atm to deal damage as damage types and stuff I am using ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL,DAMAGE_TYPE_FIRE,WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS.Can it stay like that or do I have to change it to CHAOS and UNIVERSAL?

PS. My spell had more bugs than I could possibly imagine when I looked at it after posting here .

 

[Darthfett]

I just updated mine, and didn't want the judges to get confused. Here's a link to the original post (edited with the updated version)

[Sevion]

I've updated my spell with better code.

I've added two other effects

Spoiler

Hell Fire:

 Any regular unit targeted by Flames of Hell will be infected with Hell Fire. It will continuously take damage equal to 1% of its current health. It will not be able to move or attack and be rendered completely useless. The only way out is to kill the unit. Because it only does 1% of the current health it will never die just by the infection alone. It must be killed by another source.

Hell's Fury

The area around the Hell Bender when he casts Flames of Hell is forever tainted by the evil of hell and any units standing in it will suffer from armor reduction. The only way to escape its destructive grasp is to leave the area.

Spoiler

Note: This spell's new effects are designed for CROWD CONTROL and CREEPING.

My previous post is updated with the download.

 

[Curo]

Contestant number 28, reporting for duty! Here is Curo's take on a hell spell

It's called Hellsent Totem for those that don't feel like opening the map.

It would be better if you uploaded it right before the deadline, then.

Just a question,atm to deal damage as damage types and stuff I am using ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL,DAMAGE_TYPE_FIRE,WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS.Can it stay like that or do I have to change it to CHAOS and UNIVERSAL?

Yes, it can stay like that.


P.S

It doesn't matter very much, but normally I use these settings for spell damage.

ATTACK_TYPE_MAGIC, DAMAGE_TYPE_UNIVERSAL, WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS

Okay,I'll remain with these then.And I actually have no clue what the different damage types do,buts since the contest is hell,I'll leave it fire .

So,as I noticed after I posted the previous WIP...It sucked.So,I'm posting another one [del]to add a post count as I have nothing else to do[/del] to show what the spell should've looked like.

I want to see blood!

I want to see ... fish.
