Spell Paralyzing Cask

[Naminator]

Here's another DotA Spell made by me. Paralyzing Cask from Witch Doctor. How to implement this in your map inside.

JASS/GUI: GUI
Lagless: Yes
Leakless: Yes (I think)
MUI: Don't think so

Paralyzing Cask:
Vol'jin launches a cask of paralyzing powder that bounces between foes, stunning those affected for a short period of time (1 sec on Hero, 5 on creeps). Deals damage per bounce to non-hero units.

nice nami =]

 

[Naminator]

nice nami =]

Thanks.

 

[NetherHawk]

i dont think it's that, this forum is pretty quiet anyway.. haha


edit: hey nami, animation -wise, why dont you change the missle art to acid bomb and missle speed to 10000, then u get the exploding green effect.

 

[duyen]

gj!

 

[Naminator]

gj!

Thanks Anman!

 

[cr4xzZz]

As said above, nice nami Btw, the cask won't hit one alone unit over and over again, right /lazy to read all ur code/?

 

[NetherHawk]

lol, the conditions are too long to be seen, its just has to be matching unit not equal to pc_target and it would be fine.

 

[DeathWing]

Nice one! I see it might be used as other chain spell.

No. It won't hit only one unit, over and over again.

lol, the conditions are too long to be seen, its just has to be matching unit not equal to pc_target and it would be fine.

Also Thanks! But no. Cause if you put that only, you may stun your units or hero. They are just conditions..

Nice one! I see it might be used as other chain spell.

Thanks!

This is good.

Though you need to change the hotkey to a key that isn't the hotkey for
any of a unit's general orders (patrol, attack, stop, etc).

The spell also needs some more eyecandy IMO; it has no sound or effects
when the cask hits a unit - quite dry.

Also, "PC_Distance" doesn't appear to have been used at all in the code.

All else seems fine.

Thanks Tinki3. . I added the effect of the ability, has sound and effect. And also use the PC_Distance.

Fixed it and Update it!

 

[Tinki3]

Good job, approved.

 

[Naminator]

Thanks Tinki3 and added it to the DotA Spell Index.

Just wondering, would it be a bit simpler to do this...
Multiple triggers heh

Trigger one:
Map initiation, get all units, for each unit...
[Trigger] (Add event to trigger)
Add [(Picked unit) takes damage] to (DamageTrigger)
Make sure there are no leaks. I'm assuming that would be fairly common knowledge.

Trigger two:
unit enters (playable map area)
[Trigger] (Add event to trigger)
Add [(Entering unit) takes damage] to (DamageTrigger)
Make a condition, ((matching unit) is a (hero)) equal to (false)

Trigger three:
When you buy a hero,
[Trigger] (Add event to trigger)
Add [(Last created unit) takes damage] to (DamageTrigger)
or
Add [(Purchased unit) takes damage] to (DamageTrigger),
depending on how heros are purchased.
This is so that if heros are revived, you don't have it stacked.
So, now, there's a damage trigger.
So, when a unit takes damage, the condition being [level of (dummy storm bolt) for damage source is greater than or equal to 1),
pick one random unit in a 400 radius matching [(matching unit is alive), (matching unit is an enemy of owner of damage source), (matching unit is triggering unit equal to false).
Create a dummy unit to cast a storm bolt "paralyzing cask" on the picked unit. Add a special effect acid bomb on the targeted unit if needed, I'm not sure if it is.


I don't have WE open in front of me, a lot of the stuff i just put down might be just plain wrong.
