Spell Curved Ice Chain

[Dirac]

Curved Ice Chain - By Dirac

Based in DotA's Meat Hook i decided to create a version of a hook that bends, increasing probabilities to catch the enemy and style . If you're not good at maths stay away from the code, it uses some complex formulas at it (some of them are hard to explain for me)

The Code:

• Curved Ice Chain
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Curved Ice Chain
  • Actions
    • Set CICpoint[1] = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Set CICpoint[2] = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set Viking = (Casting unit)
    • Set CICspotinit = (CICpoint[1] offset by ((Cos(CICangle)) x ((Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2]) / 1.00)) towards ((Angle from CICpoint[1] to CICpoint[2]) - CICangle) degrees)
    • Trigger - Turn on Curved Ice Chain Shot <gen>

Nice

Leaks


Create 1 BH Progectile for (Owner of Viking) at (CICspot offset by ((Cos(CICangle)) x (Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2])) towards ((Angle from CICspot to CICpoint[1]) - (CICslide x (2800.00 / (Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2])))) degrees) facing (((Angle from CICspot to (CICspot offset by ((Cos(CICangle)) x (Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2])) towards ((Angle from CICspot to CICpoint[1]) - (CICslide x (2800.00 / (Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2])))) degrees)) + 0.00) - 90.00) degrees


How comes you picked the chain to curve ?
at least MPI and Leak free - to get a shot at being approved

- Use points to remove the leaks.
- Offsets leak , set the offset to a variable

> Use points to remove the leaks.
I know.
> Offsets leak , set the offset to a variable.

Create 1 BH Progectile for (Owner of Viking) at (CICspot offset by ((Cos(CICangle)) x (Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2])) towards ((Angle from CICspot to CICpoint[1]) - (CICslide x (2800.00 / (Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2])))) degrees) facing (((Angle from CICspot to (CICspot offset by ((Cos(CICangle)) x (Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2])) towards ((Angle from CICspot to CICpoint[1]) - (CICslide x (2800.00 / (Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2])))) degrees)) + 0.00) - 90.00) degrees

Fixed. Any other leak?

 

[DrEvil]

facing (((Angle from CICspot to (CICspot offset by ((Cos(CICangle)) x (Distance between CICpoint[1] and CICpoint[2]))
Another offset leak

Apart from that i think its good and you should at least try to make this MPI.

 

[Dirac]

I dont know what is MPI, leak will be fixed soon.

 

[DrEvil]

Where only 1 unit from each player can use the spell at any 1 time.

 

[Trollvottel]

(Random 1 units from TempGroup) creates a group which has to be destroyed, also.
screenshots would be really nice

 

[mordocai]

yes please show screenshots

 

[BlackRose]

I was kinda expecting something like Pudge Wars Meat Hook, but I'm guessing, that would be impossible in GUI, as I tried (but failed ).

1) It is too fast!!
2) NO screenshots:

I decided to post one for you (is this ok with you?)

Spoiler

 

[Dirac]

> It is too fast!!
Im quoting myself...

it uses some complex formulas at it (some of them are hard to explain for me)

Creating formulas again will be hard, but not impossible, coming up on next version

>NO screenshots
Sorry about that, i tried to take some screenshots at it, but its pretty hard on Mac. Your screenshot looks good :thup:

>(Random 1 units from TempGroup) creates a group which has to be destroyed
Wait for the next version

 

[mordocai]

can you make a version that goes straight like your other meathook please:thup: i would +rep you but this sint exactly what i was looking for >> otherwise i like it. Im a fan of linear spells
