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,

Please wait the full 24 hours before bumping. Thanks :)

Oh yeah,
Thx for your response :D

Shall I update it then? :D
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? :D
-_-a I never seem to see it teleporting. :D

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. :D

(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)

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

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? :p

Thx :D :D

It was 1.5 seconds if you care about the 0.7 sec breath point :D
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" :D

Not needed, nevermind. :D

Oops :eek:

Sorry for the long wait.

Approved.

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

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.

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

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.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
