Spellpack DotA Spellpack

[Farplane]

I'm trying to improve my familiarity with GUI spells (I'll get into JASS later), so I decided that I'd make a spellpack of 4 DotA spells. Please notify me of any leaks or malfunctions because that's what I'm trying to imrpove on. I know these codes are very simple to many of you but I'm here to learn.

Casted during the day, it only does damage.

But at night, it gives an addition movement speed reduction.

Hope you guys enjoy it, I spent lots of time to make it as close to DotA as possible (with the resources I have).

 

[Tyman2007]

Hmm, no one has complemented on a DOTA SPELLPACK... of all things...

well i guess i will be the first. since i don't play dota i wouldn't know how the spells should really look like.

They are simple and simplicity is best when it comes to simple spells i guess..

Although, it wouldn't hurt much to make all the spells MUI. Only 1 of them is. At least 2 should be MUI.

 

[saw792]

To avoid your waits in your spells (instead of triggering the speed reduction and the bash) create a dummy unit to cast a custom ability based on bash for the stun, with 4 levels, one for each second that it will stun for, and another ability based on frost nova or slow poison or a modified item speed bonus that has a duration of 7.

 

[Light Alkmst]

Your Void uses set unit life instead of deal damage. From what I know, setting the life below 0.00 would kill the unit, but not grant exp or gold to the caster of void. I'm pretty sure it would be faster to simply deal the damage too...

 

[Nexor]

x marks the spot don't uses floating text, it uses a picture laid on the floor, like the building's ground texture

 

[Psiblade94122]

Slithereen Crush can be made easy by useing war stomp, warstromp deforms terrain too

 

[Larcenist]

They are probably using a TextSplat for X Marks the Spot.

You could at least try to make the spells MPI if anything.

 

[Renendaru]

DotA actually uses the TextPlat Library for some stuff.

(Sorry if this as off-topic)

 

[Blackrage]

you can make Void MUI. Just use a dummy caster to cast slow if it's night. For chaos bolt, they use a storm bolt that has 0 duration and they trigger it's duration by removing the buff at a random time.

 

[Angel_Island]

• Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of xTarget) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Naga\NagaDeath\NagaDeath.mdl

It leaks. Change the (Position of xTarget) to xPosition.

 

[simonake]

It leaks. Change the (Position of xTarget) to xPosition.

To a variable of type location and use custom script to destroy it after.

 

[Dirac]

I have to say, you chose the easiest spells to program in dota. And you dare to not do em in MUI and make them leak?
Im not going to -rep you, but i think this is pretty useless
EDIT: just realized this is graveyarded lol

 

[simonake]

To be approoved, in most case, a spell has to be MUI. I rarely saw not MUI approved spells.

 

[kingkingyyk3]

These spells can be make by easy way. Why you are making it hard to make?
Slithereen Crush -> No need to trigger it, juz change the models at Art section.
Chaos Bolt -> You use wrong style. In DotA, there is a dummy to cast storm bolt. Didnt you see it?
Void -> Directly use slow and put damage unit in trigger. Juz remove the buff when day.
X Marks the spot -> Where is your Return?
