Bump! It's 29 hours, where's Daxtreme?!

Indeed.

> Set Knockbackpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Position of (Casting unit))
> Set Knockbacktargetpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Position of (Triggering unit))

Casting unit and Triggering Unit is the same thing.

> about this, I already deleted it before, and the ability only work once, so I create it again

Alright.

Approved.

Variables

Two words,"You're Amazing..."

No leaks,no lag, no bugs, very good
Currently, im busy working on my own mod, and i can work quite advanced(or atleast i think so hehe )triggers and abilities, but ive noticed with you're work that, most of it is through variables alone, excluding simple things like , Unit starts effect of ability, and ability equal to Whatever. And I realized through this that, to make skillful and effective abilities, you can go nowhere without variables, I didnt know where else to post this so i just posted it here .

If you can help me at all or tell me where to post it you'd be,"You're more Amazing.."

If you want to post any spell, post it on the Tutorial, Spells, and Trigger Code forum.

the bowling spell has some flaw,

you may want to add this in one of your loop so you wont toss buidling away
((Picked unit) is A structure) Not equal to True


theres also a problem with units getting stuck... if an unit get stuck in a corner the spell wont ever end, the unit will eventually die and the dust effect will remain until someone walk by it. I suggest you to verify if the unit is moving, if not then make the effect end. (Its actually impossible to detect this bug on your test map since the terrain is empty, the same thing apply if the target hit an ally player, it will get stuck and eventually die over time.)If i were you i would remove the condition that make ally players immune to the bowling effect cause its no very credible and cause the target to get stuck.

Good job for the rest. I look forward for more of your stuff.

Edit: Im running out of time but if you want me to post a fix just ask and il do it later



(+rep)

Edit2: Found one more bug. With 2units (+the caster) you can cast on the first unit in direction of the second one and make it go trough cliff/gates/walls whatever. This can be fixed by disabling the following action in the last loop

Unit - Turn collision for (Picked unit) Off

By the way, in the last loop your not turning it back on, and why are you even turning it off? Collision off does not add anything to the spell and open the path to exploit.

About the corner one it's already fixed about 3,5 weeks ago, I tested it about when I write this reply, there's no stucks, (may I see your stucks screenshot on the corner?).

About the building and else, it's your options I just give you an example of making spells like these.

 

[brulogaz]

i don't know how you can miss this bug but any obstacle in terrain, doodads, even ally units will cause the bug(Try adding some ally units on your map and send a red unit in the mass)... i just re-dled the version of the first post and its still there.... but since u don't believe me heres the screen

So hmm, i casted the spell on a guard sending him to the corner, then he eventually die of the neverending loop, and in this screen you can see the dust stick on the corner a few seconds after he died... and it won't end until i move by it.

Just think about it, theres nothing in your code to make the spell stop if the target is not moving anymore. it just calculate the distance. But hmm whatever to fix it or not is up to you but its kinda required if you want your spell to not kill 1shoot in any maps with a terrain.

So you may want to add a timer on the spell(That would leave the effect the same) or for more realism add something that will cause the target to stop if the target move backward(Thats what i did, but of course this method will "nerf" the spell cause the spell will stop if too many units are blocking the path of the target), both methods will fix the bug. Anyway i fixed it for my personnal use, everything else is masterpiece and you will get credit for it on my map

Fix the tooltip in Terror, it says Lord of Corruption instead of Lord of Attraction

 

[mr-death]

right, brulogaz. I never put any increase one in the test map.

Both bugs and typo fixed.

 

[flyingphippo]

yeah when u use bowling bash against a tree or cliff the unit will be stuck there forever until it dies.
