Spellpack Hero: Icecrown Overlord

Sil3nt · Jan 13, 2008

This is my first 'official' spellpack/hero. All coding was done by myself and the I came up with these ideas on my own. If you decide to use any of the spells, please do not claim them as your own.

Icecrown Overlord
Description

Empowered by the core energy of Icecrown itself, Urak was created countless centuries ago. to defend and protect Icecrown from invaders and those who tried to take it.

Ever since Ner'zhul conquered Icecrown he has been sealed, encased into an ice tomb where he was created, destined to come back when the time was right.

Now that the Lich King has fused himself with his loyal knight, Arthas, he has freed and enslaved Urak, his power had to be reduced to a fraction because he was too powerful to be fully controlled. He serves his new master Ner'zhul, and commands his greatest armies into battle. His skills and strength allow him to slay enormous armies, chase down single foes and survive in combat.

Yes i know the spells arent THAT great and are pretty simple to create, but i'd just like some feedback and tips on how i could make it better.

Right now i've only included implementation instructions and screenshots for Hammer Smash. Once i get back i will update the post. All feedback is appreciated.

update - added in implementation methods for all of the skills, as well as a new skill 'melt' which is obtained when you learn level 4 Frost Mastery, as for the screen shots i cant really be bothered since Hammer Smash is the only decent eye candy imo anyway. I also probably wont be maknig any changes to the map anymore.

Your special effects leak. You'd need to destroy them. Other than that, I haven't read the triggers thoroughly yet. Not tested as well. The spells are not MPI. MPI means Multi Player Instance-something (hard to spell). Meaning multiple PLAYERS can cast the spell simultaneously. In contrast, MUI meaning UNIT, so all units can cast simultaneously.

I just looked over my coding i noticed i missed 2 sfx leaks, thx (if theres more pls point them out) and as for MPI, if a spell is mui wouldnt it automatically them mpi since more then 1 unit can cast them? If a spell is ONLY mpi how would 2 players be able to cast them simultaneously? its not mui.

Anyways, some more comments please ...=/

Comments?

Well, I just have to say that they are very cool!

Nice effects and model, but too bad they're not MUI.

Code:

Unit - A unit Is attacked

No.

Try swiftly pressing A and S repeatedly on a frost wall...

I tried looking around for ways of doing it but i could only find jass. I can't do anything with jass so i just used that event instead, it shouldnt be that much of a problem .. since the unit takes no damage anyway

Hmm... Not sure if anyone noticed, but the Frost Mastery occurs at every hit. Meaning the chance is basically 100%. Maybe you can't divide integer values. Use real instead.

Code:

                                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                                    If - Conditions
                                        ((Level of Frost Mastery  for (Attacked unit)) Equal to 4) and [B]((Random integer number between 1 and 100) Greater than or equal to (25 / 2))[/B] <-- Isn't this supposed to be less than?
                                    Then - Actions
                                        Set FM_TempPoint = (Position of (Attacking unit))
                                        Unit - Create 1 DummyCaster for (Owner of (Attacked unit)) at FM_TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
                                        Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                                        Unit - Add Frost Nova(FrostMastery)  to (Last created unit)
                                        Unit - Set level of Frost Nova(FrostMastery)  for (Last created unit) to 1
                                        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Lich - Frost Nova FMTarget
                                        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_FWTempPoint)
                                    Else - Actions
                                        Do nothing

And I believe the Hammer Smash can be done using loops to make the trigger more efficient. Though it's still up to you.

Crab... The model is cool..!

Sil3nt · Jan 13, 2008

ay wtf i thought i changed that ... it was for testing purposes. Ill change it tommorow. As for the loops, yeh i know but i just did it this way to be more safe, i might change it though.

in the frozen wall trigger (you'll need a second trigger for this), add an event to the second trigger <whatever the unit variable used is> takes damage

(its specific unit event so needs to be added this way to work and variables arent very specific

)

then, in the second trigger, add a condition to check for frozen wall buff (if a buff is used). when it takes damage (and has the buff), increase ur hits taken counter and set the units life to current life + damage taken, and when the counter is => ability level, remove the buff and do the effects

edit: cool spells btw, nice sfx

Trollvottel · Jan 13, 2008

it looks good, but you should set the animation speed of a freezed unit to 0%. this will look far better

If i made it like that then there wont be a channel + ice combo like freezing urself then casting a channeling. I might make it affect enemy units tho, thx for suggestion.

I had a thread which had this idea, but somewhere it said that the event 'takes damage' fires off when the unit is attacked (like unit is attacked) so i thought the only use of it would be by using 'damage dealt' in the actions. However ill try it anyway later. Ill continue the implementation instructions once im fully happy with all my skills.

gref · Jan 14, 2008

I made a system for just that kind of problem.
Use it damn it

Nice spells.
But you should change the Frost Mastery to use damage detection as well. Otherwise other players who attack and stop, changing their minds can potentially be frost nova'd.

Anything that even looks like jass, i cant use simply because i dont get it. Even with the instructions ><. Also leaving it this way, even complete knobs like myself will be able to understand it

gref · Jan 14, 2008

Have you looked at the GUI version?
I designed it so that there isn't even any cutom script in the GUI version.
There are examples there too, of spells that are pretty much exactly the same.

I just dled the map and took a quick look. Itll take me a few hours before i actually understand it properly so i really cant be bothered trying to learn everything ><
Maybe when i get real desperate in the future i might take the time to learn these systems.
