No Idea. Spell

[Crazy_Dead]

In an another thread i was asking for an channeling spell idea, and sir Executor came up with this awsome idea, for my Blood Hunter Worgen.

When an enemy with under (30/33/35)% hp is in (2000/2750/3500) range the blood hunters no-target ultimate can be activated.
He takes (4/3.2/2.2) seconds channeling standing to get in a bloodlust turning his whole body slowly red and he starts to run with incredible speed (500/600/700) towards the target.
While running, colliding enemies will be hit and they start to bleed, reducing their ms and as by 15% for 4 seconds, aswell as 25 dps.
On reaching the target the blood hunter strikes it and lets it bleed, reducing his ms and as by (20/25/30)% and dealing (25/35/50) dps over 4 seconds.

The problem is: I got no idea on how to make this. No idea. Group Enum, Check Hps.

Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Greetz Crazy.

Atop of my mind:

1. After a hero learns the spell, either do a periodic check for units in range of him (every 1 second or so should be enough, OR make 2 triggers (1. when unit takes damage, if he is near the hero and life below treshold, activate ulti; 2nd - unit enters in range of hero, if his life is below treshold, activate ulti)

2. How to make it activatable? Make a dummy invisible/locust/invlun unit, name it something like "a wounded enemy" and add it as a prerequisite for the spell. When the ulti can be activated (see first paragraph), create such a unit for the owner of the hero.

3. Once activated, start a low-frequency periodic timer (T32 <3), set caster animation and move him every tick towards the victim, and either enum units every few ticks, or use unit enters range event.

4. On colission apply debuffs and dps and such. Should be fairly easy compared to the rest =D


A nice complex spell. I would love doing it, actually, though I have the habit to never finish anything.

Crazy_Dead, one of your biggest problems right now is that you ask for the whole construction seemingly without trying it yourself and knocking one or two of those parts out or at least publishing your half-completed work.

You'll get more reception if you ask for a mere one thing at a time instead of bring us a list.

 

[Crazy_Dead]

Ask for one thing. Yup, Bribe, you're right. The problem is that i got no idea HOW to make the spell. I just cant get an idea.

Moving, bleeding, damaging, coloring. Nope, Sine, cant get it to work. :thdown:

 

[SineCosine]

Nope, Sine, cant get it to work. :thdown:

I resent that statement.
I did tell you how it should be done.

Well, the beginning, anyway.
You never told me what part wasn't working.

 

[Executor]

Basically that's all relativly easy. You only have to code the spell part for part..

Start with a timer which periodically checks all enemy heroes in range.. but only if the spell has be learned.

Tadah, as I suggested =/

Tadah, as i suggested

But the problem, is that i get this:

I fuck dont get anything to work anymore..

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent( Trigger , 0.00000000000000001 , true )

this period will lag...

    public unit Caster = GetTriggerUnit( )
    public unit Targets = GetEnumUnit( )

should be in the functions, not in initialization. else it would be null

Well it is long ago that I coded my last channeling spell, but isn't [lJASS]EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CHANNEL[/lJASS] the better event?

Btw. I suggest using GTrigger to you.

 

[Bribe]

Yes, if it is a channeling spell. I thought this was (like most spells) just a cast-once spell

 

[kingkingyyk3]

For channel spell, I suggest you attach the struct to caster and initialize end channeling event trigger. Else, if the spell is cooldownless, there will be bug.

 

[Crazy_Dead]

For channel spell, I suggest you attach the struct to caster and initialize end channeling even trigger. Else, if the spell is cooldownless, there will be bug.

Yeah, thanks for making this ever more difficultier.

So On Topic

@ Bribe

Your code, what does it mean?
I mean was that a fix or what?

 

[Bribe]

What you'd benefit from is to get Subversion or basically any software that does a "compare to last save" function. Notepad++ does that.

Otherwise, just do an eyeball comparison to find the differences between the two. You'll notice, as someone else already pointed out, that you can' initialize values inside of the globals block, so I moved those. And I added the "UnitAlive" native and switched it in instead of your "GetUnitState" and "UNIT_TYPE_DEAD" stuff. I'd be happy to explain any one thing to you, but honestly you have to be the one to ask me specific questions. I don't like giving generic responses.

 

[Crazy_Dead]

Doesnt the UnitAlive exist? Or is that vJASS?

 

[Bribe]

You require (more minerals) JASSHelper to save the map with the UnitAlive native in it, so yes, it's more or less vJass.

UnitAlive is found in the common.ai file, and is therefore not normally recognized by your map. I think this is the only useful native from the common.ai file (at least the only useful one I've seen).

 

[SineCosine]

I thought UnitAlive bugs sometimes? o.0

 

[Executor]

Btw: Do not loop through all units in 2500 range.. Loop through all enemy heroes and check for distance and health
My knowledge of arena map tells me, that there are enough creeps or summons which would be enumed too..

 

[tooltiperror]

I thought UnitAlive bugs sometimes? o.0

(I think) it does, I believe you should be using the GetWidgetHP or whatever.
