Spell Pudge Wars Meat Hook Revisited

Thanks. :)

Version 1.0.3 is out. I rewrote the "retract" method for the spell, got rid of about 20 or so lines of crap, made it more efficient at the same time, and managed to improve the looks of the hook a little bit (probably unnoticeable to everyone else, but I can see it). Added another configurable global as well.

More comments/criticisms/whatever please.
 
I've seen a lot of these Meat Hook spells and never bothered to try one, but it's really cool. Good job kenny, great looking spell, and works very nicely + nice code.
 
-.- Come on man, just read through the top of the script or something, there are configurable functions for range, damage and speed.
 
you could add the unit as argument, so people can refer to their str, agi or int or even to an attached struct.

good job btw (well dont know about the code since i didnt look through it)

JASS:

.
    private constant function MAXDIST takes integer lvl returns real
        return 800.00 + (400.00 * lvl)
    endfunction

    private constant function DAMAGE takes integer lvl returns real
        return 0.00 + (100.00 * lvl)
    endfunction
    
    private constant function SPEED takes integer lvl returns real
        return 1000.00 + (0.00  * lvl)
    endfunction


See? :p

You added them after I tell! :D sorry
 
You have a very valid point, I am just being lazy. But seeing as someone brought it up, I will fix it. Give me a sec.

Oh and thank you for the kind words quraji.

EDIT:

Alrighty, added the preloading for the headshot sound. It should be fine now.

That's version 1.0.4 people.
 
Bug bug bug! Random bug, hooks don't dissapear. It just stayed there.

(Attached replay and map).
(You might have to do some renaming!)
(It's the ending part, at about 50 seconds, where I go "WTF?" "LOLZ"?)

Other than that, there are some 'building collision' stuff XD And the transparency and coloring :O :|
 
Hahaha umm... I am on 1.21, haha. And I unfortunately can't update my warcraft for some gay reason.

What would be awesome is if you can get a screen shot of the bug occuring. Or give me a detailed description of what happened when you found the bug.

Things I would like to know:

- Did you change any of the configurable options? If so, which ones?
- Where did you cast it (and where was the hero when casting)?
- Did you make it bounce off anything?
- What exactly do you mean by "hooks don't disappear"? Did the hook extend to its maximum and then pause? Did it pause straight away? Did it extend, the retract and pause nearing the end?

If you could answer any of them it would be a great help (all of them answered would be freaking mad).
 
It remind me something, on the last version, when you grab someone with hook the blood effect doesn't show. Maybe it's me, I had changed some constants.
 
God. You suck with 1.21.

Ok, I believe i modified speed and range, and I spammed multiple versions. (No screenshot for now, my internet is capped :()

The hook head and some chain parts didn't dissapear, they changed facing when I moved Pudge around but thats about it. They just stayed there.

It stayed near the end of the retract.
 
I know I know, it sucks having the earlier versions.

Anywho thanks for the information, I will do some stress testing later and see what I can find. (I think it has to do with removing the links at inappropriate times.)
 
Alrighty then. I'm pretty sure I fixed the bug BlackRose found. Was a bit of an oversight on my part. Everything seems to be fine now. I will release the latest version after some more stress testing and comments from people helping me test it out.

Oh and... Bump.
 
Hahaha whoa! That was a weird video. I have tested the hooked hundreds of times and in hundreds of ways and could never get it to do that, what am I doing wrong? :p

    Do you think the people that answer the phone for that company have any idea about that? Because they do not, nor can they tell me where they get that xanthum gum usually so I can't ask the people that make it, nor do they particularly care if I'm the one risking people's lives and not them.
  • Varine Varine:
    So that was my week building up to today, because that is when I got the menu and had to guess at the actual recipes for two of those days, because again I think he threw this into AI and ran with a lot of it
  • Varine Varine:
    I should have had all of this like a month ago but whatever, it's fine. He's trying a thing, idk it's his menu I don
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't care.
  • Varine Varine:
    Fuck I need more saturday nights off. Turns out I'm much cooler to drunk girls. If I hang out with enough people like that, eventually I'll meet one that likes me sober too
  • Varine Varine:
    idk if anyone has ever done IT. I am not IT but I just got off a 20 minute phone call with the general manager asking me how to make her new computer print. I do adore her, like I know her personally, but I asked three times if the printer was on. She apologized for bothering me, and Chef Ben walked in a few minutes later, turned the printer on apparently, and then called to ask if I was trying to print shit from my house again
  • Varine Varine:
    So I have a newfound appreciation
  • Varine Varine:
    And also I'm going to remove that one from my secondary career options
  • Varine Varine:
    As I get older I'm not thinking I can do this forever anymore, and I'm kind of dead end right now. I get a fine salary and fair raises, like I can easily live my lifestyle on this normally, but I don't know if I can do this in ten years, and I don't think I want to. I don't really have any desire to take over another restaurant, and I don't want to try and own one, and I doubt I'll luck out like I did with that taco place in Texas
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a math degree but that was a while ago and I'm not positive I actually deserved that. It was kind of just given to me I feel like cuz I was in school so long. Like for a bit as a teenager I got real into the mormon thing, and my dad grew up kind of similarly. Much like he fell out of it
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway he started coming to church with me for a bit, and they gave home the I think Melchizedek? idk how to spell it, but it's the 'upper' priesthood, like he had a whole blessing thing after I got baptized, and it WAS a very neat experience. And the only reason I think they did they did that was cuz he was like late 30s, and that is kind of the age that they have the last chance at that
  • Varine Varine:
    And I mean its not, but like... I'm pretty well set in my lack of religious beliefs, I guess. And I'm a bit younger than my dad would have been then.
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I got real into, he got bored and was like you do you dude, and that's how I got a huge amount of freedom when I started doing drugs as a teenager
  • Varine Varine:
    In hindsight my parents were fantastic. but they were too fucking tired to raise kids like me. And their jobs were easier with better benefits.
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway idk where I'm going here, but I asked ChatGPT some of the same things and holy shit was it way more strict and just gave me (importantly the wrong) phone number to a hotline
  • Varine Varine:
    TH, I gotta say, though, I'm amazed you keep this up. I feel like there are you and Ghan doing whatever you're doing, Tom posting news, and then me using the chatbox as a journal every once in a while.
  • Varine Varine:
    Thanks for letting me do that, also. I know I'm not using it correctly, but somewhere along the line I went from arguing with Cheshire to using this as a kind of void for my frustrations and hopes. I like to think of the whole thing as an enigma of sorts
  • Varine Varine:
    It's not, you guys could probably blackmail me if you went back far enough. I doubt anyone would, you've always been very kind, and I'm glad to have been a part of all this! I hope you enjoy me too, cuz I'm going to keep doing it.
  • Varine Varine:
    In my defense I was high for a lot of that though
  • V-SNES V-SNES:
    Thanks for sharing @Varine
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Brother how long we been here together? You guys are some of my best friends and I have never even met any of you. I dont know what I would if I did not have my Varine rant to look at when I get on. How could I possibly ever shut this site down? We have been here in this little chat box through a lot of shit for a long time. I love you guys!
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I missed out on a lot of chat messages. But yeah, we're planning for my mom's funeral back in Taiwan. I'm really glad I work remotely, so I can try to leverage that and go to places outside of US while still working in US.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    If it wasn't for my mom, I wouldn't be able to work in the US. Let alone being able to work until our office closed, and I became a full-time remote employee.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Really important though, get your wills and last testaments ready. We avoided like 2 to 3 months of waiting for probate court to get back to us.
     +1

    V-SNES I got good news I got your stuff packed for shipping and just need to get to the post office to get shipping cost!
