Spell Ice Entrapment - GUI MUI

Ice Entrapment​

Constructed criticism appreciated. Rest ain't.

Pros

• GUI MUI
• Leakless (to my knowledge )
• Easy to import (Simple 10 step guide *again*).
• Simple but cool spell if you ask me

Cons

• Looks funny when used on trees (since the units move trying to fit into place)
• Might be hard to modify the circle.

The 10 step guide.

1. Open the attached map in your World Editor.
2. Open your own map in your World Editor.
3. Go to your map. And 'Check' "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data" This can be found at: File -> Preferences -> General Tap (First one)
4. Open the attached map.
5. Go to F6 and Copy (Ctrl + C) Paste (Ctrl + V) all the custom Abilities into your map.
6. Repeat 4 and 5, just with the custom Units (F6)
7. Open the attached map.
8. Select the triggers called: 'IceEntrapment' & 'Animation' copy them.
9. Open your map, paste the Triggers in.
10. Test your map.

Change Log:
v1.1
Fixed the ice blocks, no longer selectable. Replaced with pathblockers that are removed.

Hope anyone can use it. +Rep for usage is appreciated :thup:

About the ice blocks.
Set the Selection Scale to 0.(Hold Shift)

Set the Selection Scale to 0.(Hold Shift)

Tried that, it still selects it. The "health" bar just shows up at a random spot then. Some default spot.

So I set selection to 10, so atleast the health bars is over the iceblock

i may be blind but i cant see map>>. I would like to use this :thup: of course +rep

Give the ice block units locust and no collision, and make pathing blockers at the location of each unit. It would look much nicer.

Pretty sure I attached it. But it was gone . Thanks for saying it, I added it again

I would have to remove those blockers again, and I can't add experation timer to a destructible.. Any suggestion? (I already went this way hehe, just not good enough to complete it )

 

[Kenny]

custom script: RemoveDestructable(<Your Destructable>)

Also, i suggest that in the future when you are thinking of submitting multiple spells, make a spellpack and submit them.

Currently you have 3 spells on the first page alone, all of which have been submitted within ~2 days of each other.

It would make it far easier on mods, and all of us, if all the spells were together.

Uploaded v1.1

You forgot the 'call' there kenny.

You forgot the 'call' there kenny.

Haha, i thought i did. I was in a hurry, and when i walked out the door i was like wait, i think i missed something.

You may want to update the code in your opening post too.

• Set IECaster[IECustomValue] = No unit

No need.

I'm not sure, but use 0.00 or something instead of building default facing degrees.

Nice spell, at first I thought it was just a Blink with damage, then I tested it, and it blocks enemies. It Blinks so you aren't blocked right?

+REP.

Yea only locals need to be nulled, not globals. :thup:

>Fixed the ice blocks, no longer selectable. Replaced with pathblockers that are removed.

actualy, the easyer way was to make it so you give the unit locoust, hide the unit, then remove locoust from the unit, youll be left with a selectless, hpbar less unit

also i think itll be cool to have it so the ice wall will grow depending on how far you teleported cuz right now you can be trapped in your own wall... unless thats what you intend to have it

 

[vypur85]

The dummy unit seems a little bit useless, don't you think? You could've just change the pathing blocker model to an icy block model. Instead of creating both unit and destructible.
