Spell Meat Hook

[Genyuumaru]

it's possible to change the hook by black tentacle and if it's how you do that ?

 

[Tinki3]

> how you do that

Go into the Object Editor and look for the hook dummy unit.
From there you can change whatever.

Yo um tinki3 this might be in the wrong place but here it goes:
has anyone here made a "glaive hook" like the one Tossrock made?
i think that people requested that skill about a trillion times but no one has ever made it or helped someone make it...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
don't even think about telling me to go ask Tossrock cuz he thinks im like retarded and he's not even willing to help ANYONE what-so-ever, its like his 'special treasure skill' that he cannot even give a glimpse of
-----------------------------------------------------------------
also, for anyone that makes this skill, not only am i eternally grateful, but i will also give you like a 100 reps a day (not even kidding)(sort of exaggerated)....

nice 'ability' once again

You mean "Grappling"? The one that pulls you to the object?

" You mean "Grappling"? The one that pulls you to the object?" by Tinki3
no, not that the one, the one where you can move and as the object/unit is being pulled to you, the hook can move, remember the one in pudge wars?
i also have another question, how can you make the speed, range, and radius of the hook bigger/longer/faster?
thx for such a fast response

 

[Tinki3]

>how can you make the speed, range, and radius of the hook
bigger/longer/faster?

For the GUI version:

Speed -- Decrease the interval of the periodic hook creation trigger (I think).

Range -- Goes up in levels, though I'm sure it can be easily changed in the "cast" trigger?

Radius -- In other words, Area of Effect (AoE). Again, I'm sure it can be changed in the cast trigger.

*Variable names are explanatory*

ty for the off topic answered q's (+2 rep)
umm but you still haven't my "main" question
has anyone made a 'glaive hook' yet?

 

[Tinki3]

>has anyone made a 'glaive hook' yet?

Not me, and I doubt very many other people would've, either.

bug report

1. the hook doesnt snag allied units
2. while the hook is running, and u moved ur hero, the angle of the hook also changes on where ur unit moves

like
T=target
C=caster
x=hook

................T...............
.......................x........
......................x.........
....................x..........
.................x.............
................x..............
................x..............
................x..............
................----->C......

also the hook dummy is large

> bug report

Those are hardly bugs, just things you'd like to be added or removed

That's the JASS version is it not?
The GUI version might differ slightly, though I can't remember, and it doesn't matter.

 

[waaaks!]

yes it is the jass version

 

[Tinki3]

Added a newer JASS version.

>>while the hook is running, and u moved ur hero, the angle of the hook also changes on where ur unit moves
IceFrog fix it by pausing the caster for around 1 sec. Or you could store the angle in a variable would do also.

>>Added a newer JASS version.
Nice.

its not about pausing the hero, it looks like its been paused because of the channel ability

 

[Tinki3]

JASS version updated - TT replaced LHV.

 

[Flare]

Nice work there Tinki3, great remake. 2 slight things I dislike about it

1) The pause is annoying, but that's just what I think ^^
2) If a hooked unit dies, their corpse is left underneath the hero. Looks a little bit weird to pull a corpse underneath you (first time I casted, I thought the target was totally removed from the game )

 

[soulreaping]

He added that pause because this is the way it's in DotA.

 

[Tinki3]

> great remake

More of an update than a remake but thanks


> He added that pause because this is the way it's in DotA

Exactly.
It can also be modified through the Object Editor > Abilities > Meat Hook > Follow Through Time

 

[U are a noob]

In dota you can still move after the pause. So with more speed you can bend the hook. I like this hook good job tinki3.

You could save the first 2 sentences, no one here cares about what makes a DotA player 'pro' or 'noob'.
