Spell Mass Hex - GUI MUI

[lindenkron]

Major flaw discovered. It's back on the drawingboard.​

Wouldn't be supprised if this has already been made. So no need to mention it

Anyway:

Mass Hex​

This spell was made because of nabbig2 requesting help with it in a thread

Pros

• It should be Leakless
• It should be MUI
• It should be quiet easy to Import
• It should be quiet easy to modify (the few things that might need modification in such a spell)

What can be easely modified is:

• Ammount of enemies hexed.
• Duration of time hexed (in the dummy spell).
• How large a range the hex spell reaches.

Cons
Give me some I can add to a list. Or fix.

Guide to importing:
The 10 easy steps.

1. Open the attached map in your World Editor.
2. Open your own map in your World Editor.
3. Go to your map. And 'Check' "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data" This can be found at: File -> Prefernces -> General Tap (First one)
4. Open the attached map.
5. Go to F6 and Copy (Ctrl + C) Paste (Ctrl + V) all the custom Units into your map.
6. Repeat 4 and 5, just with the custom Abilities (F6)
7. Open the attached map.
8. Select the triggers called: 'HexCast' & 'HexStart' copy them.
9. Open your map, paste the Triggers in.
10. Test your map.

Hope atleast nabbig2 can get use of it
Enjoy,

why are you doing it so complicated??
isnt it easier to just create dummy units for random units around him and order them to cast hex?!?

PS: you could do this spell in 2 mins while making it MUI with unlimited instances

Do it then. And show me the code, because I'm having a killer pain fixing what ever it is this spell don't understand.

This is soooooo complicated, I have a template for a AOE / MASS whatever you need vJass code for this which is so simple.

Some comments

It's quite and not quiet
It's amount and not ammount

 

[lindenkron]

EDIT: ok sry does not work...

I wouldnt be supprised if there's another way to do this then what I'm doing. But people should feel free to add suggestions on it. Ofcause in MUI.

Spare me the sarcasm please.

now it works..

 

[lindenkron]

now it works..

Ye it works for instant hexing, not what I was trying to achieve. Was trying to achieve delayed hexing. (sorry for not responding until now, was up buying some food).

So they aren't all hexed at once. To achieve a "Hex one, then other" kind of hexing. Hence, why I used 1 second channeling on channel.

a dummy hexes a random unit near the hero, and repeats this 2 more times? Thanks.

I bet you if you import this into a TD, give it to a tower, and make the tower use the Hex, all the creeps attack the tower.

Rofl, that made me laugh. I mean, I don't know if it's true or not. But how in the name of god did even come across such a conclusin? For a matter that havn't been debated?

You're entertaining mate

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Feedback TD v1.0, look it up !
Hex Tower's "Uber Hex" skill.
If you don't order the creeps to move after getting hexxed they just sit there and attack the hexxing tower.
Then proceed to attack all your other towers.

But.. this has nothing to do with a TD etc? It was for a hero spell ?

 

[WolfieeifloW]

And no one could ever possibly use it for a TD !
