I've made these 2 spells for a hero, they're actually my first try to create nice spells with structs and I'd like to receive some comments about them.
First spell is,
~Blink Nova
The caster blinks near the targeted enemy, dealing damage and slowing units within 300 range. If there aren't any unit within 300 range except the target, it takes double damage.
Second spell:
~Blizzard
Creates a blizzard centered around target point, dealing damage and slowing enemies each second.
Notes:
-I'm using two different spells to slow because slowing doesn't stack if applied by the same spell.
-GROUP is a global group variable declared in the header.
-Preload functions are there to prevent lagging.
Systems I'm using:
-Uberplayer's modified SUM
-KT
-Damage
-GTrigger
-AIDS(required for Damage)
-Event(required for GTrigger and Damage)
-DummyCaster
I plan to create 4 more spells for this hero:
-Shroud of Frost: Just like Immolation, but it has a 8% to slow enemies when dealing damage.
-Frost Refuge: Can't move or act for 5 seconds. While this spell lasts, you regenerate health each sec and take 50% less damage.
-Frost Resonance: Deals additional damage based on how many slowing effects the target enemy is suffering(this is going to be really important with your other three slowing spells). Target takes double damage from this spell if it is hibernated.
-Frost Prison: Target enemy is hibernated and cannot act for 3 seconds. It takes damage each third of a second until this spell ends. When this spell ends, the prison explodes, causing damage in an AoE.
So, to summarize:
I'd like to know what you think about this hero's spells, if they are matching enough and the code of Blink Nova and Blizzard. That's all I think(it's quite too much already
)
