[Contest] Holy Spells Contest!

>>I like your ability! A smaller sized version of it would be really neat for an AoS
Oh...i will edit it and add a constant function for the size of the spell...

By the way...what smaller sized you referring?

 

[Meowier]

Hmmm... the whole spell effect. It's just quite large, with the spell effects and such. In a way it's a bit overwhelming and in a game, it'd look a bit weird...

 

[~GaLs~]

The effect wont hurt....
But i will add a option to make it able to modify the radius of the spell

Spell - Holy Spirits

Tooltip: Slams the ground, stunning and damaging nearby enemy land units. While the nearby enemies are stunned the holy spirits comes to life. They will either heal ManyTimes or strike the stunned units with so much damage, the world has never ever seen before.

Have Fun!

 

[~GaLs~]

ManyTimes...Your spell picks even the death....
Add a condition Matching Unit is Alive equal to false

 

[ManyTimes]

yeye....
Care! But fixed it ....And btw, you mean
"matching unit is alive equal to TRUE" not false
At least you should mean that! Else i Would pick ONLY dead units

 

[~GaLs~]

just a testing to you...

Quite a bad explaination

Holy Bonds
Alpha

Conjure a wave of holy energy, bonding you and up to 5 other allies, granting bonus armor for every bonded ally. Lasts 15 seconds or until a bonded unit breaks the link. Only units with less then full health can be target by the holy wave.

Note: *for some reason the lightnings do not show up where I really want them too....?
*if more then 5 units get targeted at a time, it sometimes breaks....?

enjoy!

Update please. Have you tried my spell?

 

[Squll2]

yep, - k ill update that -_- keep forgetting bout that.. i did update the other one though >.>

 

[Pyrogasm]

Yes, Squll, emjlr3's spell sounds like mine... but it is entirely different in application.

Once I get my spell working (there's currently a problem with getting units in a quad properly), I'll be able to post some screens and stuff.

 

[~GaLs~]

Nice Spell...Big Greenie

 

[U are a noob]

I updated my spell. I found out new gen makes my spell lag.

 

[Demonwrath]

Did you see my post asking if I could join? Or are you closed for entries?

 

[~GaLs~]

>>I found out new gen makes my spell lag
LoL ?
Newgen makes your spell lag? Arent lagging issue mainly are caused by leaks? or too much effects in the same time?

 

[U are a noob]

Nope new gen makes a lot of things lag because the text update.

 

[Squll2]

Did you see my post asking if I could join? Or are you closed for entries?

no i didnt sorry, added you to the contestant list

 

[Monsterous]

Update front page - ive submitted mine and it dosent say

My submission is on Page 7 - last post

Thankees <3<3<3

 

[Pyrogasm]

Here we go; spell basically finished. I'm thinking about adding multiple links to the chain. And does this spell feel in any way "holy" to you?

Links the caster and target unit together with a bond of immeasureable energy from their own life-forces. All units in the path of this link will constantly be healed for a small amount.

Level 1 - Heals 35 health per second, lasts 11 seconds.
Level 2 - Heals 50 health per second, lasts 12 seconds.
Level 3 - Heals 65 health per second, lasts 13 seconds.

A promo-shot:

And the spell download can be found —VOID—.

If and when you look at my code in the editor, you'll find that it looks really janky. It's because I wrote my code on a Mac; just refer to the attached text file or the JASS box in the first link as the actual code.
