It does not use hashtable, so it is compatible on 1.23 or lower.
The requirement is NewGen.

Ah, I see. Edited that. Thanks for the information.

 

[INCINERATE]

very nice spell pack, i liked it

 

[Komaqtion]

For both "Demonic Rage" and "Blood Esurience" use "chest" as the attachment point, instead of head as it looks more realistic because right now the blood seems to come out of the thin air...

But, overall, nice spells ! :thup:

Keep it up

 

[Weep]

Seems like a reasonable, if powerful, hero. It would be nice if the values for each spell were more easily configurable, perhaps set as global variables in an init trigger for each spell.

Also, I'd like to suggest setting each ability and buff used to a global variable in an init trigger, and instead using those variables in your triggers, so that if the abilities and buffs don't retain the same rawcodes when copied into another map (which is very likely) the user only has to change them in once place instead of having to hunt down every ability and buff reference in each trigger and change them to the correct value.

Overall, the triggers look OK with a few bugs and a few cases where a more thorough approach is needed.

Requirements
- NewGen

I don't see anything here that requires NewGen. :nuts:

Initialization Triggers

Spoiler

• Spell Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • [...]
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Blood Esurience <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Takes damage)

• Damage Add
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Blood Esurience <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

May I suggest considering using my GDD snippet instead? It doesn't leak trigger events and I've found it quite handy to use. It's not yet approved, though.

Blood Esurience

Code:

Spoiler

• Blood Esurience Learnt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Blood Esurience
    • (Level of Blood Esurience for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Blood Esurience (Buff Placer) to (Triggering unit)

What happens if the hero uses a Tome of Retraining? You need another trigger to remove the ability in such an event.

Spoiler

• Blood Esurience
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has buff Blood Esurience (Buff Placer)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • [...]
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(BEReal))

Leftover debug line? It shouldn't be there. Oddly, no text shows in game. I suspect this is due to the Init function, in which you set a variable equal to (All Players) and then destroy it. In doing so, you've destroyed All Players (bad!) - when you set a variable equal to another existing group or force, both variables will refer to the same force. It's only when you create a new group or force that you have to destroy it. (All Players is kind of a special case.)

Also, may I suggest attaching the effect to the unit's origin instead of its head? The healing effect swings about wildly (and in a very humorous fashion ) as the affected units move and attack.

Demonic Rage

            • Unit - Remove Demonic Rage (Spell Book) from (Picked unit)
            • Unit - Remove Demonic Rage buff from (Picked unit)

This works, but when the hero is at approximately half health, and its regeneration/lifesteal makes its health ping-pong above and below the limit, the repeated addition and removal of the ability can be annoying because it closes the hero abilities menu, if open. Trying to put another point in a skill while in combat with this ability is quite annoying.

Also, why do you use 3 different abilities within the spellbook for the different levels? Wouldn't it be easier to not level the spellbook, and instead use only one +damage ability with multiple levels? You wouldn't even need to add/remove the spellbook, solving the aforementioned problem, if the 1st level of the +damage ability had a value of 0, and 1-4 had the appropriate values.

Vitality

So, the highest health this supports is about 10000, it doesn't consider Tome of Retraining, and it doesn't consider what happens if the hero acquires an item that puts it over 1000HP and later drops the item?

 

[Azlier]

• SpellInit
  • Set TempPlayerGroup = (All players)
  • ...
  • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayerGroup)

That breaks maps. (All players) doesn't leak and should never be destroyed.

• Set TempPlayerGroup = (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit))))

Player group(blah) leaks no matter what you do. It simply cannot be undone without replacing it with another Jass function. Many GUI things are like this. You also leak many events. These spells are not leakless.

 

[Ayanami]

Updated my spell pack (about time I did ). Read the change log in the first post for more information. Any feedback will be appreciated.

If you cast Blood Pact and your life is less then 50%, the spell don't stop, still running...

just use 1 trigger with IF inside....

if life greater then 50% then
deals damage...... bla bla bla

else...
order triggering unit to stop

You're right. Fixed that. Updated to version 1.2. Thanks for the feedback and the rep :thup:

 

[N(O.O)B]

The triggers itself are fine (as far as I know), so I will only comment on the hero as a whole.

The hero itself is quite interesting, though I personally do not like passive heroes like these. He seems to be very dependent on healers as well (which is probably what you intended as he seems to be a berserker, but perhaps he's a little too dependent on them).
The main issues with him are (in my opinion):

• He is too "passive", he only has one highly situational attack that is very risky to use as it drains 40% (!!) of his health at the highest rank,
• He does not use mana for any of his spells, making that entire aspect as well as intelligence worthless for him. I get that you are trying to make him health dependent, but he should at least have an ability that consumes mana.

Blood Pact
This is his only active attack, and it is extremely situational. He can only "really" use this if he is at full health with a healer, perhaps you should make the percentage scale with the amount of health he currently has, rather than with the maximum amount of health (so if he has 1000/2000 health, he will only use 400 health, instead of 800 health) so this attack is more "usable". The damage should obviously scale according to the amount of health used (which it already does, so hey ). This has great synergy with Demonic Rage, though.

Blood Esurience
(I had to look up the word Esurience in a dictionary, but that's fine because you probably got it from Thesaurus anyway )
This spell seems quite conflicting with his Demonic Rage spell, as this heals him more as he is at low health (which grants him less damage from that spell). I think that you should replace this spell entirely with a spell that does mix in well with that spell, preferably an active one, like this:

Blood Bond
As Bartuc attacks, he feasts upon the blood of his victims, granting him increased energy. Bartuc can use the energy he has gathered to fend off incoming attacks, draining his mana instead of his health. Every attack Bartuc makes increase the duration of this spell by 1 second for a maximum of 12 seconds.
Level 1 - Drains 3 mana for every damage taken, has a 40 second cooldown.
Level 2 - Drains 2.5 mana for every damage taken, has a 35 second cooldown.
Level 3 - Drains 2 mana for every damage taken, has a 30 second cooldown.

Though that might defeat some of the "Aggressive Rush Hero"-ness that he currently has, it does allow him to stay alive for a little longer at low health so he can actually use his "Demonic Rage" ability without dieing shortly afterwards, as well as using mana, which none of his other spells do, and reducing his healer needs. Might just make him a slightly more fun hero to play as, as it has a long cooldown and has to be "charged" by attacking units.

Demonic Rage
I love this ability, it synergizes well with the Blood Pact and just fits his entire theme extremely well. Don't change this one at all.

Vitality
A passive ultimate , I've always found that dissapointing. While it does fit his "Health" theme it doesn't have a lot to do with the other spells (which all encourage sitting on semi-low health). I'd prefer if you changed it to this:

Blood Rush
Bartuc gains a massive adrenaline rush, increasing his maximum health by 100%, while retaining his current health percentage. While under the effect of Blood Rush he will gain 5% of his new maximum health in attack damage. When the effect ends, Bartuc will lose the bonus health and will retain his current percentage of health.
Lasts 15 seconds.

120 Second Cooldown

This increases his current health while retaining the percentage health (so while under this effect, the damage granted by Demonic Rage will not fade but will increase). This is probably way too overpowered though, as the Demonic Rage effect will double and he will gain an additional 5% attack damage of twice his regular health, but he is already way too overpowered so what does it matter you can always alter numbers

These are just suggestions so the Hero would be more fun to play (for me ). Don't get me wrong, your Hero is great but he just seems very boring as he only has one attack which you can use once~ every life (or once before returning to heal).

Good idea. This might be probably a better alternative than completely preventing him from using Bartuc's max health percentage.

It sounds extremely like Mana Shield, isn't a Activate/Deactivate. However, rather than a tanking hero, I prefer this hero as an aggressive front-line type. Thus I gave it a unique life-steal instead of a damage reduction or an active heal. This aspect gives the player an urge to attack his enemies, which this hero is meant to do exactly that. Although it contradicts Demonic Rage slightly, it keeps him alive. So I'm not considering a change yet. However, I might change it to something similar to your idea. It'll be an active spell that blocks a certain amount of percentage of damage. The damage reduction would increase as Bartuc's health decrease.

I like your idea. Although numbers might need to be changed, it will be configurable, so no sweat. But I do think increase by 100% may be too much

I would love to make the changes. However, I do feel a need to hear just a bit more feedback from people before making the changes.

Anyways, thanks for the constructive feedback. And more feedback from anyone would be much appreciated.
