Spell Dragons' Horde

[--Thanatos--]

Nice

I start to realize we have to save maps twice after changing it's name/location.

Well then I'll write it down xD

Naming conventions depend on the type of language and the laguage itself : /
I usually use the Java ones for JASS. ( Usually = 100% of the time )

Then why aren't these approved yet T_T

The problem with this is that when the hero is walking, it looks extremely bad.

The dragons slide around him instead of flying.

Instead of moving them periodically maybe you should simply order them or something. Plus, when they are throwing out a cone of frost, if the hero is moving they get teleported and at that point it's very strange-looking.

Otherwise, this spell is very neat good job!

Just want to hear your thoughts on this one though.

On a side note,

> Then why aren't these approved yet T_T

Please wait the full 24 hours before bumping. Thanks

 

[--Thanatos--]

Oh yeah,
Thx for your response

Shall I update it then?
But... without slides the dragons will look stupid when the hero tele or blink away. >_>
...
But I think I'll update it to make them look better when breathing cones + moving.
BTW teleported?
-_-a I never seem to see it teleporting.

Sorry >_< it was "yesterday" in my computer and so on I didn't realize it hasn't passed 24 hours. Sorry, once again >_>
(And thx for deleting my bump)

Well, I didn't dare to suggest it because it would probably require a lot of work but what you could do is to make the dragons slide when the hero is not moving and just order them to follow the hero when he's moving. When they are breathing and thereafter, they should only be following the hero until their order becomes "stop", and you restart the sliding process.

Same with teleport.

But, as I said above it would probably be quite some job for you.

(See below for a simpler suggestion)

Well, as an answer to above (also), you could simply teleport the dragons also around the caster, and thus remove sliding as a whole.

-------------

Wait, actually, instead of ordering them to follow the caster, which would look really weird when walking (They would gather behind him stupidly...), you could order them to move to a random point near the caster every x seconds if and only if their current order is "stop". (To still give them the opportunity to move fully around the caster)

 

[--Thanatos--]

I'll try that.

EDIT: wait I think I'll try my version first.
EDIT: How was it now ?

 

[Sim]

I like how now they patrol around the hero. Great job!

Though the tooltip is wrong.

1. It says the dragons breath every 1.5 seconds, but it seems to me like they do it every 0.5 seconds!

2. It should mention the duration.

C'mon Dax, you don't need to be be soooo deterministic, or? Also, to cast the Spell also takes some time So approx. you'd get on a time of 0.5...

Did I say that this Spell is realy cool?

 

[--Thanatos--]

Thx

It was 1.5 seconds if you care about the 0.7 sec breath point
Shall I make the breath point not in the cooldown, then?

The duration is there I thought -_-
In the end of the tooltip, there's a big green "20"

 

[cr4xzZz]

Well, since I don't know what to say I'll +rep u for the cool spell ^____^

Not needed, nevermind.

> In the end of the tooltip, there's a big green "20"

Oops

Sorry for the long wait.

Approved.

 

[--Thanatos--]

Aaaaah! At last

Thx

 

[--Thanatos--]

Umm... sorry if this is outta the topic but...

If I made a SpellPack, may it include this, or not?

 

[AdamGriffith]

You could just get a mod to remove this single spell.
Then resubmit it in a spellpack... I think

 

[Tyrande_ma3x]

Awful usage of triggers... My map reached ~40 000 handles while keeping the spell active only for 5 minutes. Then fatal error, which means I can't use it.

 

[Igor_Z]

Omg this spell can be easily done in GUI why do you make such long and complicated JASS code. This spell can be done with 1 hand behind my back . Anyways nice job, u spent some time working on it. No offence m8

 

[Tyrande_ma3x]

I'm going to insist once again to remove the usage of dynamic triggers and replace it with a damage detection system since the spell caused a lot of crashes in my map (had to spend half an hour to properly edit the code to fix the issue). You could use timer recycling as well or just replace the strange abuse you did on HSAS (which will most likely interfere in maps that use it) with something better, like Table, for example.
