Spell Invert Polarity

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Figured I needed work on my spells, so I made one yesterday just for you guys to judge it. Any pointers are welcome.. You'll probably notice I need work when looking at the code

Invert Polarity​

Info
GUI
Leakless (I'm pretty sure)
MUI (You need to add triggers based on how many players you have)
Intended to be a dual use spell; It can heal or damage, pull or push any target. Useful in countless ways

Screenshots Tried resizing them all but the last one just didn't want to.
Heals

Spoiler

Damage

Spoiler

Targets: All organic
Casting Range: 800 (600 max for damaging)
Invert Polarity: Inverts the laws of gravity between you and target. If you're far away, it'll intensify gravity between you, sending you flying at eachother. If you're close, it'll reverse the gravity, sending you flying apart. The extreme effects of the gravity will have an effect on their body too. If the unit is sent towards you they are healed. If they are sent away, they are damaged.
Max Damage: 300 x level of spell
Max Healing: 100 x level of spell

Note: If you use this feel free to change anything about it ^^ Tooltips are rather bland I know, and the instructions on how to change the data for damage / healing are under the comment on the attached map.

Criticism very welcome, I need to improve a lot
Note to readers: I accidentally left Magnetic Field as the name for the ability, so just ignore that (I changed it half way through >_>)

 

[Gtam]

Yes no need for those Integer A for 1 to 1 completely Useless

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Yeah I just had those in because selecting Integer A is quick and I was unsure of how I was going to set up the MUI then >_>
But they do serve a purpose. The variables are all stored in R_Variable[PlayerNumber], and those are just red's triggers so it does need them to work.

 

[Gtam]

So you have triggers for each player to make it MUI still not only MPI

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

^ is unaware of the difference between mui and mpi

[Gtam]

MUI:Multi Unit Instance
MPI:Multi Player Instance

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Oh ._. Dang. Yeah. I put in another hero with it and when cast at the same time, it either instantly teleports the 2nd caster to the first's position or it does both, however leaves 1 paused still.

Any ideas how I would go about making this MUI? ^^

 

[Gtam]

Yes go read a MUI tut that will explain in detail on how to achive MUI

 

[Tyrande_ma3x]

Yes go read a MUI tut that will explain in detail on how to achive MUI

Better just learn Jass. : )

 

[Gtam]

I have to agree much easier to achive MUI in jass

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Yeah I'm trying to learn JASS.. I have the basics down, just haven't had time nor want to practice anything more complex recently I guess I'll wait till tomorrow or later till this thread is gone to start on a jass spell ._. Such a pain to have to learn how to do everything again :[

 

[BlackRose]

MUI (You need to add triggers based on how many players you have)

Just say no

Nice idea! I like it, but the effect used for pulling and stuff doesn't really suit it in my opinion. I expected something more, gravity

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Yeah it is based off of slide though changed substantially from just "slide here"

 

[BlackRose]

Also, make your spell more easy to customizable, such as a random trigger that runs on init, have variables set there. Like spell Id (Though you could just do that in main trigger), any dummy id's, damage, healing amount, KB distance.

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Ah that stuff is based on how far / close you are to the target so I don't know how I could make it any easier to 'customize' it, aside from putting variables set to 1, and having those multiplied on all the essential values and then they can customize that. Though that's a very round-about way of doing it ._.
