Spell Omnislash

[Doomhammer]

??? :nuts:

you asked for it - so you can't steal it anymore (stealing = taking without asking)



edit: hey, how about a comment?

I initally made my Omnislash just like that for my map Omnislashers Defense,
but, it ended up malfunctioning, and didn't work as well as when I created
another with the local handle vars system.

TriggerSleepAction is also slow, and inaccurate compared to timers.
Much smoother using timers too.

Thanks for posting it, but I think I'll stick to my vers

Tinki, can you only use timer-waits with handels?

 

[Tinki3]

Im not too sure exactly what you mean by that.

If you want to pass the handled objects through to another function,
then you would be able to retrieve the handled data after each execution of
the timer (which means you have to wait after each execution to retrieve anything,
if you're using KaTTaNa's system, that is)

Are you talking about that, or something else?

I don't know about "slow". My point is that in this case we simply don't need the accuracy of timers. So why complicate things when a simple loop and a simple wait seems to be the most efficient solution?

>I don't know about "slow"

Yes, you're right.
I was meaning that it can't go below 0.27 seconds of delay.

>in this case we simply don't need the accuracy of timers

It's still nice to have though, and it can be made to go alot faster
than opposed to TriggerSleepAction & PolledWaits.

>why complicate things

I wouldn't really call it a complication,
more of a 'different' way to go about doing things.

Some would even say its a better way to go about doing.
Like me =)

Overall, I still think using a system for the spell is a better idea:
-More flexible
-More accurate
-Not buggy with multiple users

OnAbilityEffect.

What is that?

darn, I always thought it was sth like 0.14 s :banghead:

Is mine buggy for multiple users? it shouldn't be.

OnAbilityEffect.

What is that?

I'm using Vexorian's caster system. A normal trigger: event - spellcast would do as well.

I tried to copy that into my map but it didnt work.
i mean its like, the trigger got disabled with 63 errors.
and i dont understand what those meant..

 

[Tinki3]

>the trigger got disabled with 63 errors

If you're using the JASS version, you must take a look at the 'ReadMe' trigger.
That will explain how to properly implement.

 

[Xapphire]

I dont understand, but if this is your first time dling a jass triggered map, you will soon realize that you will always get a bunch of errors with end of line needed or something else. It just happened to me so many time >.> :banghead:

That's why you should learn JASS.

 

[Xapphire]

I double that Ghan 100% yet I truly suck at jass so, i know how you feel if you dont know jass, i just hardly understand the basics, but hey, when it comes to terraining... I challenge you any time..

 

[Prometheus]

Jass isn't that after you learn the basics.

Tinki3's version needs the HandleVars. 63 errors sounds like you haven't implemented them.

bug reports

1. the omnislash doesnt cooldown, when the spell is used...i suggest changing the base spell to channel, where i also used channel in my map, and it works perfectly fine and cooldowns

2. when the caster first moves to the target, he doesnt play his attack animation

 

[Tinki3]

> 1.

Already been discussed in this thread.

> 2

He doesn't?
Hmm ....

 

[Somatic]

sorry for being a necro but to allow the ability to have the chance to cool down, let it "Wait" for a very short time before commencing the slashing. Like declaring all your vars, then "Call TriggerSleep (0.15)" and it will cool down as per normal after the spell effect has exhausted.

 

[dzk87]

I noticed that if you use this ability against a single enemy, and kill them without attacking the maximum times, if you walk to another nearby enemy quickly, you will continue. Was it supposed to be this way?

 

[Tinki3]

> Was it supposed to be this way?

No.
But with a simple tooltip fix, such as "after killing 1 unit quickly, the omnislash still has some juice left", it won't matter too much?
