Not bad (the weird pause when the unit is hooked is strangely attractive, lol) but the site already has an MUI meathook template.

I thought the same thing

but the site already has an MUI meathook template.

Template, but not a map.

 

[master maste]

your good

edit: nvm

Template, but not a map.

Whats the real difference though? And yours isn't MUI.

 

[Tinki3]

your good

edit: nvm

nvm?

Whats the real difference though? And yours isn't MUI.

Real difference is that you can use the spell, not look at a trigger.

Yes, I know its not MUI. I could've made it MPI, but, no point IMO.

damn mother [censored]er you damn good
i wish i can be like you
and i love you for making a map that i requested..
i also think that this hooks looks cooler than the one in dota
can you teach me how to make??
i LOVE YOU<3 <3 <3

i also like how its shorter (i think) than the one with GUI.
plz teach me how to make..

Ty

Just copy the triggers?

 

[waaaks!]

theres a GUI Meat hook already from emjl3 right? then what's the difference between yours and his?

BTW, it is good, very nice
but i don't need it anymore cause i have Meat hook already that was copied from emjlr3 Random DotA Spells......

ill crave to death when i did'nt have any meat hook triggers and i saw yours....wow.....many ppl will download this map.....

 

[Demi666]

[trigger_newb]

actually its no prob.
i alrady learned it..
thank you for the map..
i owe u

Approved, but...
Set MeatHook_Group[2] = (Random 1 units from MeatHook_Group[1])
This probably could've been just a unit variable, why is a group needed?

 

[Tinki3]

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Approved, but...
Set MeatHook_Group[2] = (Random 1 units from MeatHook_Group[1])
This probably could've been just a unit variable, why is a group needed?

I thought not using 2 groups would cause a leak?

I'll remember to use a unit variable next time.

QUestion

Do i need the meat hook dummy placed be4 the game starts?

 

[Tinki3]

No you don't.

I just placed it there to preload it

 

[no0by]

Very good

Nice spell I haven't downloaded it but im sure its good

P.S. I am making a spell just like this but the 'hook' will slide across the ground in stead of each link 'appering' after the next.

P.S.S. How much time have you got spare anyway?

Lots

I have made said spell before, but with a hammer instead of a hook. Want it?

edit: I may take time posting it because I'm screwed this week for school. But if I'm uber hardcore maybe like a days time or so. Maybe less. Depends how long it takes me to do this bloody AP work.

Well, I do.

For the thread anyway, since its related closely to Meat Hook.

Upload it if you can, that would be great

K. It's not well efficientized, and I made it a while ago. Still, it works. It isn't formatted to JESP btw.
Requires the katanna handle variable system.

Need to put in trigger called Sticky Hammer
Also needs a standard dummy unit, flying type, no collision, looks like hammer (or whatever the heck you want. If you want a flying tree to hook people back...Go ahead.)

The ability was designed for a mountain-king type guy. Cuz he already has an anim for this.
