Spell Polarity Shift

dragonhord · Jul 21, 2007

A spell I made in my spare time, and is set up as follows.
Leakless as far as I know.
NOT MUI.
Fun to use

.
Written in GUI.
To import simply copy the spell from the object editor, and afterwards copy the folder "Polarity Shift" which contains all the triggers for the spell, then paste both of these into your map.

The hero bashes the ground with his hammer shifting outlying units into the center while creating a crater in the ground. Upon impact units around the caster are stunned.

Like it except there's a leak :O

Code:

Polarity Shift Pull In
    Events
        Time - Every 0.09 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set PolarityGroup = (Units within 500.00 of PolarityShiftPoint matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of PolarityShiftCaster)) Equal to False)))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in PolarityGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set PolarityShiftTarget = (Picked unit)
                Set faceangle = ((Angle from PolarityShiftPoint to (Position of PolarityShiftTarget)) - 180.00)
                Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of PolarityShiftTarget using Abilities\Weapons\AncientProtectorMissile\AncientProtectorMissile.mdl
                Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
                Unit - Cause PolarityShiftCaster to damage PolarityShiftTarget, dealing (3.00 + (1.00 x (Real((Level of Unknown (A08S) for PolarityShiftCaster))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
                Set Temp_Point = ((Position of PolarityShiftTarget) offset by 5.00 towards faceangle degrees)
                Unit - Move PolarityShiftTarget instantly to Temp_Point, facing faceangle degrees
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_PolarityGroup)
        [B]Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point)[/B]

The bolded text should be inside the unit group loop

Point taken =/ Ehe, thats a leak or two

Lemme fix that right now. Thanks.

Found a few more leaks.

Please look at the text in bold:

Code:

Polarity Shift
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Polarity Shift 
    Actions
        Set PolarityShiftCaster = (Casting unit)
        Set PolarityShiftPoint = (Position of PolarityShiftCaster)
        Environment - Create a 0.01 second Permanent crater deformation at PolarityShiftPoint with radius 400.00 and depth 400.00
        [B]Environment - Create a 0.50 second wave deformation from PolarityShiftPoint to (PolarityShiftPoint offset by 256.00 towards 360.00 degrees) with radius 256.00, depth 96.00, and a 0.00 second trailing delay[/B]
        Trigger - Turn on Polarity Shift Pull In <gen>
        Wait 5.00 seconds
        Trigger - Turn off Polarity Shift Pull In <gen>
        Environment - Create a 3.00 second Permanent crater deformation at PolarityShiftPoint with radius 400.00 and depth -400.00
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_PolarityShiftPoint)

Environment - Create a 0.50 second wave deformation from PolarityShiftPoint to (PolarityShiftPoint offset -> This leaks a polar offset. Set the polar projection data into a variable like so:

Set Temp_Point = (PolarityShiftPoint offset by 256.00 towards 360.00 degrees)

Then use "Temp_Point" as the point to create the effect at.
You'll also need to remove Temp_Point immediately after use, preferably just before
you turn on the periodic trigger.

Code:

Polarity Shift Pull In
    Events
        Time - Every 0.09 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set PolarityGroup = (Units within 500.00 of PolarityShiftPoint matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of PolarityShiftCaster)) Equal to False)))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in PolarityGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set PolarityShiftTarget = (Picked unit)
                Set faceangle = ((Angle from PolarityShiftPoint to (Position of PolarityShiftTarget)) - 180.00)
                Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of PolarityShiftTarget using Abilities\Weapons\AncientProtectorMissile\AncientProtectorMissile.mdl
                Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
                [B]Unit - Cause PolarityShiftCaster to damage PolarityShiftTarget, dealing (3.00 + (1.00 x (Real((Level of Unknown (A08S) for PolarityShiftCaster))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal[/B]
                [B]Set Temp_Point = ((Position of PolarityShiftTarget) offset by 5.00 towards faceangle degrees)[/B]
                Unit - Move PolarityShiftTarget instantly to Temp_Point, facing faceangle degrees
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_PolarityGroup)

(Real((Level of Unknown (A08S) for PolarityShiftCaster))) -> "A08S" needs to be replaced with the Polarity Shift ability

(Position of PolarityShiftTarget) offset by 5.00 towards faceangle degrees -> This leaks twice. You need to initially set the position of the PolarityShiftTarget into a variable, and then set another variable with the polar projection data (Italic = new/modified):

Code:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in PolarityGroup and do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Set PolarityShiftTarget = (Picked unit)
        [I]Set Temp_Point[1] = Position of PolarityShiftTarget
        Set faceangle = ((Angle from PolarityShiftPoint to Temp_Point[1] - 180.00)
        Set Temp_Point[2] = Temp_Point[1] offset by 5.00 towards faceangle degrees)[/I]
        Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of PolarityShiftTarget using Abilities\Weapons\AncientProtectorMissile\AncientProtectorMissile.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        [I]Unit - Cause PolarityShiftCaster to damage PolarityShiftTarget, dealing (3.00 + (1.00 x (Real((Level of Polarity Shift for PolarityShiftCaster))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal[/I]
        [I]Unit - Move PolarityShiftTarget instantly to Temp_Point[2], facing faceangle degrees[/I]
     [I]   Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point[1])
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point[2])[/I]

Good work on the spell btw

I honestly didnt know that, I thought putting the whole thing in there eliminated leaks, which means that my maps movement triggers on my other spells leak -_-. Oh boy! Least I know now, thanks Tinki. Lemme fix it.
Edit - Should be fixed now...

> Set faceangle = ((Angle from PolarityShiftPoint to (Position of PolarityShiftTarget)) - 180.00)

This leaks a point too

Hero · Jul 21, 2007

Is this a dota spell?

Anyways yours looks better than DotAs

I like it...well from the screen shot...when I get home I well test it and stuff...

Taking the time to learn it will take longer than fixing the spell in GUI

.

Anyhow, spells fixed... I think...

Tinki3 · Jul 21, 2007

Approved.

dragonhord · Jul 21, 2007

Is Approval good? Lol, I can only assume it is so thank you

. Anyhow, any more comments?

Tinki3 · Jul 21, 2007

>Is Approval good?

Good enough to get the thread moved to the spells forum, yes

No it's not a DotA spell, I try to keep my spells so that they are actually my spells

Very cool spell. Just make sure those leaks are fixed or it won't be used in maps.

You have my +rep, gratz.

elmstfreddie · Jul 22, 2007

Did I +rep you?
I forget.
It won't let me +rep the same post twice so if I haven't added rep yet I will now :O
I liked it, I was just tired when I first looked at it

Edit > Nope! Already repped

Hero · Jul 22, 2007

Expect a better report from me either tomorrow, Tuesday, or Wednesday

I am going home tomorrow..
