Here's another DotA spell made by me. Elune's Arrow. It's all in GUI.
It containd a Game Message, so you can see how much the stun duration will be on the affected unit. You can deleted that Game Message.
Please tell me any leaks, or improvement, so I can improve this and added to the index.

Level 1 - Deals 90 damage.
Level 2 - Deals 180 damage.
Level 3 - Deals 270 damage.

You forgot to mention if its MUI or MPI...

This can't be either MUI or MPI it uses a global variable for the unit that is carried over to another trigger...if it is casted twice it shall completely fail

If you don't mind i'd submit my JASS version of this :p

No problem at all. It would be better, to have the two versions. And how can I make this MPI or MUI? If it can be MPI or MUI...I mean for the global variable or wait time..

Well MUI would require JASS (because you use 2 triggers)

MPI would require you to use an Array so that 1 hero per player may use this spell

And about the JASS version, you will do it?

Well yes it is pretty simple...I just need to find a place to squeeze it into my schedule :nuts:

Eh...I blame school.

I will do it ASAP though.

Most likely weekend

seems easy to do.. a repeating timer, quick attachments, distance move and check on the same timer...

Just somethings, why have the stun in one trigger if you can have the stun in the other trigger ? then you could rid of the wait.
The spell looks fine +rep

Offtopic: o_O i live in argentina too.. :p

> Set EA_Picked_Loc = (Position of EA_Picked)

This location is never removed.

-----------------------------

> I really think there should be a rule that spells and systems should be at least MPI.

Then why not make it so every spell needs to be JASS for better efficiency? And then it should also need to avoid BJs at all cost. It should also be perfect, too! ;)

Nah, it's like that because a spell can still be decent without being neither MPI nor MUI.

> seems easy to do.. a repeating timer, quick attachments, distance move and check on the same timer...

In a perfect world there would be a template for every spell in our Spell Section, and so no one could come up with a spell since the templates are already covering it all.

But, this isn't a perfect world. It's maybe easy for you, but not for everyone ;)
 

waaaks!

I am certain that Elune's Arrow cannot be created with GUI.. Possible with GUI-Jass combo.. GUI kinda's slow for the movement of the arrow..

Even if it's slow, a sliding trigger would work...which you can do in GUI. It's just nicer in JASS.

Hero1234, you have to tell if you are going to make the JASS version of this. So I can update it.

  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
