Spell Ice Trap

[BRUTAL]

bump, any suggestions/comments?

 

[WolfieeifloW]

You don't need to bump approved resources BRUTAL .
Unless you make an update or something of the like !

 

[BRUTAL]

ohhhh
good thing you said so, i was gona bump my other spell lol

A simple bug where if you cast 2 of them at the same spot at different times, you will end up with the 2nd one not being a ice trap, you can then walk right through it.

 

[BRUTAL]

i know that lol.

Also if any heroes is added to the map the JASS triggers refuses to work, thus disabling the spell.

wth?

I would like to test the spell, but neither the gui version nor the vjass works

I do have jassnewgenpack, all my other maps can be tested and all, just these two not ! :banghead:

When I hit testmap I get to the startscreen, anyone knows a solution?

Save the map first, then hit testmap.

Updated.
Now requires GT and KT2; all included in the map.
Made code shorter and more efficient.
Fixed the stupid bug that was pointed out.

Recycling dummy units would make your spell even more efficient.

 

[BRUTAL]

How would i go about doing so?
Does this call for another system.

 

[Azlier]

Well, a struct with a dummy inside works just fine. When the struct is created, check if the dummy is null or not. If so, create a new dummy.

Instead of removing dummies, you should 'release' them. Which means hiding them or something.

 

[BRUTAL]

Confused.
Can you show me an example or something.

great spell. got a bump for you.
unit apply timed life did not work so well. i edited the spell to include the dummy unit in the struct. it is unit .a instead of local unit u. it's also different in other ways...but that's the main part of the spell that probably ought to be updated. you could ignore my customization of preventing blinking out of the circle.

// Modified to be Fire Barrier for Valkyrie Hero by SanKakU
// My memories are a little fuzzy of the Xena episodes but
// from what i remember, Odin's top blonde valkyrie cursed
// Gabrielle by putting her in a fire trap much like this one.
// In further research it can be found that in the tv show
// Bleach, the Captain Commander Yamamoto uses an ability
// like this.
//
// the spell now enables countering of escape spells.

You realize that, UnitApplyTimedLife works perfectly right? You're making it more difficult then it needs to be (No flaming on me intended, sorry if it comes off that way), but also, he didn't ask anyone to do this for him.

you are incorrect. unitapplytimedlife kills the unit. this allows the unit to show a death animation. we need to remove the unit if we are using certain alternative models for the dummy unit. this is elementary.
