> Ye I can do the drain life part but I have no idea how to damage the units the amount of damage drained =/

Variables hold value, my friend. It's what they're used for. :)

But what you can do is pick every unit in the Genkidama area, and for every unit picked drain some life and mana from them. Add that amount to a variable called "GenkidamaDamage". As a loop repeats itself, it will slowly (relatively slowly...) add more and more life/mana drained.
Then, when it is the time for damage, use the variable called "GenkidamaDamage" to damage the target. Multiply it by any factor needed, naturally (such as level).
I would suggest having the "GenkidamaDamage" variable independent to every instance of the spell (as in, MUI).

> Hm, should I lower the area wich the random point can occure within?

I think the explosions and the damage aren't simply together. Seemed to me like the units not hit by the explosions lost Hit points. :eek:

> Ye this is the spell I have had the most problem in making, I will see what I can do..

Well, you could make it lateral. What I mean is that the unit isn't necessarily needed to go directly above the caster. It could go up, but still at an horizontal distance from the unit.
Because currently, with the target unit forced to go directly above the caster, you are forced to move the caster if things go wrong. Fortunately, by not raising the target directly above the caster, you can fix this problem. Then, the rest is easy: Add an explosion, and make sure there are no bugs left!

Good luck. :)

Hm yes indeed but is there a way to add the amount they drain? Have made the drain parts now and they work correctly however the damage isn't set to the full drain amount.

>I think the explosions and the damage aren't simply together. Seemed to me like the units not hit by the explosions lost Hit points. :eek:

Wops... They sure were not^^ The damage was at the caster and the effect at the random point. Fixed and working.

>Well, you could make it lateral. What I mean is that the unit isn't necessarily needed to go directly above the caster. It could go up, but still at an horizontal distance from the unit.

Hm yes however it could be hard to make the beam reach the unit if it's not over him =/


Edit: Codes and map updated! :D

I wanted to try out the spells in game, but it appears the map is impossible to play from normal WC3 TFT.

I just launched WC3 and tryed to load the map, no errors, it just went to the main WC3 screen after launch, so your saying the only way to look at the abilitys is by useing the newgen WC3 launcher? Not much of a demo if you can't actualy demo it in normal WC3.

I think you have to set up the Force Properties (since Grimoire has some custom test map settings that have can cause problems like that, for me at least)

Go to Grimoire menu -> Customize test map settings -> Ensure the option at the top is unchecked, then add a second, enemy force in the Scenario -> Force Properties, and it should work fine

I just downloaded and tested it and it worked fine for me. Are you sure you used newgen and saved before testing?

Just checked that and the box is unchecked. It should work fine, did for me.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
