Updates​

v1.1
-Units now spin around the black hole
-Improved EyeCandy (please suggest ideas!)
v1.0.1
-Added some customization features
-Fixed loading screen

>-Friendly code
Pah! Yeah, right!

Hmm. I didn't spot any leaks, but there is no configuration header. Where do you expect people to easily change aspects of the spell?

Lol i guess i should improve that part. But that will cause the creation of many useless variables in order to set those values

 

[Azlier]

They're not useless if they help.

 

[Dirac]

They're not useless if they help.

Done, new version (1.0.1) now has:
Damage variable (controls DPS done to units close)
Range variable (controls the maximum range of the hole)
Teleport variable (controls the maximum range of the teleportation while moving)

I've tested it and:
1. Please just insert images here, I don't like clicking link images.
2. It's really... weird... all those swirly black things....
3. It's ok...but it doesn't really act like a black hole, they don't twirl around into you?

1. Please just insert images here, I don't like clicking link images.

It seems that moderators like us to use thumbnails

2. It's really... weird... all those swirly black things....

That is just too bad lol

3. It's ok...but it doesn't really act like a black hole, they don't twirl around into you?

I'll keep that in mind ^^

 

[gameman]

Anti matter is matter with its charges reversed, so if anti matter touches matter they combine and release ALOTA energy. Just in case your wondering I just had to say that.

Good job in any case.

 

[Dirac]

Here we go. Update 1.1...
Thanks to BlackRose for the twirl idea
EyeCandy was improved, but i think it still needs some improvements. Any idea suggested gets +rep (please avoid the use of custom models)

 

[BlackRose]

• It spins your allies?
• It's good, but it's just spinning, shouldn't it spin into the core.
• Try pressing "T" to cast it, IT DOESN'T WORK!!

Anti matter is matter with its charges reversed, so if anti matter touches matter they combine and release ALOTA energy. Just in case your wondering I just had to say that.

Good job in any case.

They don't combine, they destroy each other.

I like the spell, I just don't like how the units stop abruptly when the spell ends.

 

[MagnaGuard]

How about at the end of the spell beams of light (Revive model angled) shoot out of the whole and it blows up and everyone is flung away !
