Leap - Just like Mirana Nightshade in DotA

Leazy · Feb 27, 2008

Hello!

Im making a raider hero and I want him to be able to leap in the exact same way as the Priestess of the Moon (Mirana Nightshade) in DotA. I want him to cast the spell and then leap forward in the direction he is facing for 200/300/400/500 range depending on the skill level. I supose you should base the skill on Berserk as it doesent interupt moving, oh and I want him to keep running forward in the direction he is facing after he casted the spell. He should have a spellshield with 100% chance to block spells while he is leaping <- (but I can add that later unless you need jass for this) and should not be able to move (paused?)

Now the whole problem with making this spell is that I got NO clue about how to make it, I searched some but no leaps were like this, or if there is some please link me it

I would be most grateful if someone could give me the honor to do this spell for me!

Regards / Leazy!

Check out Tinki3's Toss here and see if you can just somehow make that a skill with active usage. I hasn't checked the code myself so I have no idea but I guess yuo'd have to change any "target point of ability being cast" etc to (100+(100*Level of ability)) range from the position of caster etc. Might be too much work, I have no idea.

Well, I'm not sure if that's against the rules, but you can copy the triggers and base spells from our Helper Provided Site's uploaded Dota Template.

Dota Template Link

Does that template include any spell-triggers at all? I thought it was nothing but systems and basic AoS functions.

been looking for the same spell for weeks

, the DotA template doesnt have spells templates i think...

This leap spell is exactly what im looking for m8! But, can you make the caster move faster when he is in the air? And keep running in the same direction as before after he casted the spell

Would be perfect!

Cokemonkey11 · Feb 29, 2008

look at the second trigger where it says

Code:

Unit - Move unitJumpCaster instantly to ((Position of unitJumpCaster) offset by 20.00 towards (Facing of unitJumpCaster) degrees)

Change 20.00 to whatever you want - it will still look good because it has a set interpolation time (and therefor an FPS rate)

I'm not making the ability move in the direction as it was before, but you can make it yourself and I'll explain how.

At the end of the first trigger add the action:

Code:

Unit - Order unitJumpCaster to Move To ((Position of unitJumpCaster) offset by 500.00 towards (Facing of unitJumpCaster) degrees)

Enjoy

awesome m8

Know how to do that keep running thing now, however. If I increase what you told me, the leap will reach longer aswell. I want it to be 200/300/400/500 range depending on the lvls and go very fast, you know how to do that? If anyone knows jass, this is the code they use in DotA for the spell:

Code:

// Objects used:
// 'A0LN' = Leap (Priestess of the Moon : Mirana Nightshade)
// 'e01R' = Buff Placer
// 'A0LO' = Leap (effect)
// 'Amrf' = Crow Form (Medivh)

And mister where did you got that JASS exactly? From Open DotA project?

Flare · Feb 29, 2008

im building a flawless jump system in pure GUI

Code:

Move unitJumpCaster instantly to ((Position of unitJumpCaster) offset by 20.00

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

Order unitJumpCaster to Move To ((Position of unitJumpCaster) offset by 500.00

Hmmm, flawless indeed.... How many times does the periodic event occur to move the hero while the hero is in flight? Leak potential could be fairly significant.

Its really very simple, make a dummy unit throw an attack at another dummy unit with projectile of the unit u want to throw, then put in the arc, move the unit really far away, then in x seconds move the unit to position of dummy unit, the order unit to "moce to" location 800 in front of it when boolean is true. Turn the boolean to false when the casting unit (store in a variable) is ordered to move to follow hold position or attack. Use or, or, or, or for conditions, not and, and, and , and (saying if it ordered a command. Hope you followed it =)

basically the jump is performed by a missle with an arc, and when the missles is done moving, you move the casting unit to the dummy the other dummy attacked with the projectile. Then the casting unit is told to move forward unless told to do anything else by the player.good luck, this is leakless if done correctly.

Hmm... Seems like you haven't got what you want yet. I'll try to do one for you then (have nothing much to do now). Give me some time.

Ps: No promises. Just try.

Edit
Done. Each level will increase leap distance by 100. For the spell immunity, add it yourself. It's MPI.

Thanks for reading the whole post also, I wrote down that it wasn't finished yet. Need to get it MUI.
