hahaz nice tutorial. I would rate it 4/5 u lost a mark because of all the pink. (gets a bit hard to read) and also because your points are spread out everywhere, when this thread gets longer, people wouldn't want to look through that many pages to read the whole thing. I would rep you but i already did =]

- Local Variables are variables used only within a specific trigger
- It is used to create MUI abilities
Custom script: local location udg_TempPoint
Custom script: set udg_TempPoint= GetUnitLoc(GetConstructedStructure())

Is simply : local location udg_TempPoint=GetUnitLoc(GetConstructedStructure())

- CountDown Timer Leak Solution (JASS)
Custom script: call DestroyTimer(udg_Your_Variable)

The timer must be paused first to prevent a still running.

- Floating Text Leak Solution (GUI)
Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 5.00 seconds
Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)

Must disable permanence for the first solution.

- Lightning Leak Solution (JASS)

Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

set u = null

RPG Quest and Hero Ideas​

Ayumi's Fame System:

Fame is something similar to reputation or recognition.
More fame could makes you loved by the people. Below are the benefits:-
1. When you are in danger, out of nowhere, passerby aids you (cure/protect/escort) you
2. Potion shop sellers would sell their consumable potions to you at lower price.
3. You will be given special quests that rewards you rare items, more exp, gold, and fame
4. Some blacksmith creates custom weapons/armor/shield for you!

Less fame makes you hate by the people: Below are the non-benefits:-
1. Monsters are terrified of your presence, and will not attack you.
2. People would not stop by at your path to ask for help (give special quest/aid)
3. Police and bounty hunters are always chasing after you (even if you do simple bad deeds)
4. Prices are marked up higher in shops when they sell items to you

thanks choco for the corrections <3

the leaks are for my reference, because i tend to forget
how it is written, so all the custom scripts i written here
are very brief, not a tutorial. just like an Appendix.

btw, if i merge it, its very difficult for me to edit
the post, because i have to scroll to a specific point
in a very long long list.

That's not a problem with a little work with your eyes. There's no prob for that to do a little working of 20 seconds.

 

[Chocobo]

1 post is limited to 30 smilies

You do not need any smile for a tutorial. Like a writing.

[Exide]

I have to admit. Seeing smilies and different colors in a text makes it Harder to focus.
I DO use similies, etc myself. But I try to keep it down. And I don't think there should be ANY smilies in a Tutorial. (What's the point?)

 

[Chocobo]

Easier to read.

 

[Exide]

Looks nice.

 

[Sunny_D]

some quick steps and easy to read.

oh, you could make a link at the very top of your tutorial to the loadscreen section (or did i overlook it?)

 

[ayumilove]

[Master]

My opinions:
1.Careful output
2.Understandable speech
3.Great act using anchors
4.Wide index
5.Quite original style

Well done. 10/10

~Have a nice and comfortable day.

Creating Custom Ability in just a few steps!

[goto=A000p0]Ayumi's Thread[/goto]

Introduction
Hi guys! Creating a custom ability is rather simple, you would need to know
some of the basic requirements to make a good ability

1. Two Main Processes
1. The 2 main processes are "Engineering" and "Special Effect"
2. Engineering means designing the functionalities of an ability
- (e.g. Giving bonus armour such as Devotion Aura)
3. Special Effect means showing off nice sparkling firework
- (e.g. Bright stars falling from sky such as Starfall)

2. Abiltiy Questionaire (Engineering)
- Questionaire is used to create an outline of your custom ability.
- Planning is the key to minimize problems and speeding up the ability development.
- There are 8 simple questions in this questionaire !
- Below is a step by step guide to help you answer the 8 questions:

• 
  
  • [*]Q1. What is the ability type?
    
    [*]There are 3 answers for this: Target, Point, Instant
    [*]Target means you need to target a unit (e.g. Storm Bolt)
    [*]Point means you need to point to a location (e.g. Blizzard)
    [*]Instant means you don't need to point and target (e.g. Thunder Clap)
    ​
  
  
  • [*]Q2. Does it require mana-cost/cooldown?
    
    [*]There are 2 answers for this: (Yes, No) + Specifying how much mana-cost & cooldown
    [*]Yes means ability requires mana to cast (e.g. -75 mana)
    [*]Yes means ability requires cooldown before recast (e.g. 9 seconds)
    [*]No means ability is not restricted to mana (e.g. 0 mana)
    [*]No means ability is not restricted to cooldown (e.g. 0 seconds)
    [*]Yes is used for active abilities while No is used for passive abilities
    [*]Example: Yes - Storm Bolt (requires 75 mana and 9 second cooldown)
    [*]Example: No - Critical Strike (requires 0 mana and 0 second cooldown)
    ​
  
  
  • [*]Q3. Does the ability has an effect?
    
    [*]There is multiple answers for this: (No effect) or (1 Effect) or (Multiple Effects)
    [*]Effect List:- None / Stun, Poison, etc / Stun+Poison+Slow+etc
    [*]You can create your own effect, and decide how it affects the unit
    ​
  
  
  • [*]Q4. How long does the effect duration last?
    
    [*]There is 2 answers for this: (Temporarily) or (Permanent)
    [*]Temporarily means it affects the unit and after the duration elapsed, effect is removed
    [*]For example: Poison last for 3 seconds on a poisoned unit
    ​
  
  
  • [*]Q5. How does the ability effect affects unit?
    
    [*]There is multiple answers for this: (1 Effect) or (Multiple Effects)
    [*]Effect List:- Stun, Poison, Slow, Cold, Burn, Curse, Doom, Immolation
    [*]You can create your own effect, and decide how it affects the unit (e.g. stun unit)
    ​
  
  
  3. Graphic Process
  - Graphic Process means creating the eye-candy animations. This includes:
  • 
    [*]Special Effect
    [*]Lightning Effects
    [*]Tooltip Text Coloring
    [*]Buff Icon Customization
    [*]Art - Icon - Normal/Research Button
    
  
  
  sorry, this guide is midway completed, sorry for the inconvenience !
