[RESULTS POSTED] The Tower Contest - The 5th Iteration

[Weep]

If you have need to modify that, you certainly may. I will keep that in mind to change for the next contest.

For your consideration, and for those who might want to use unit custom values in their maps, attached is a custom-value-free version of the template. (Instead, it uses the level of a dummy ability to track the units' destinations.)
[edit 1 4/26/10] Updated.

What do you mean? Backswing and Damage Point?

The Combat - Attack 1 - Animation Backswing Point and Combat - Attack 1 - Animation Damage Point for the tower unit.

Thanks for that, Weep.

 

[Nherwyziant]

Works fine for me.

Now I busted the bug, try to build multiple testa coils at the same time.

Now I busted the bug, try to build multiple testa coils at the same time.

As I said, that is a tower from a previous contest. I have no idea how you got to think it's from this one.

 

[Dirac]

I know what the bug its about, and the tesla coil tower isnt from another contest, its only the base i used for my meat grinder, if u pay attention u will realize both towers look very alike.

The bug happens when a tesla coil finishes construction before another one in construction does, i have no idea why this happens, but if u want to fix it just change the event on the Data trigger to A unit enters Playable map area

 

[Anachron]

To bad I already have a key :/

 

[Galdiuz]

Enter the contest and give it to me if you win!

 

[Anachron]

Hmm, I guess I am allowed even when I already have a beta key. Nice.
Well I may participate, the tower would be genre "Eletricity".

 

[monoVertex]

New screenshot. Almost done, I need to add the destruction actions on the tower and another small thing. And then to clean up the code and, if possible, optimize some parts.

The other half of the eye-candy is missing from the screenshot, I'm saving that for when I submit the tower .

 

[Exide]

Here's my submission (attached).

This has probably been done a bazillion times before, but here is my entry:
The Magnetic Tower - for all your attraction and repelling needs!

 

[HydraRancher]

My tower is comming in soon, it's called the Fire Spire.

It's like a permanent stun

The Combat - Attack 1 - Animation Backswing Point and Combat - Attack 1 - Animation Damage Point for the tower unit.

Thanks! That fixed it. Reuploaded the map

 

[Weep]

Thanks! That fixed it. Reuploaded the map

You're going to need to upload another fix. Your GroupDamage filter doesn't work, because it should be GetFilterUnit(), not GetEnumUnit(). (Also, you then wouldn't need [ljass]call GroupRemoveUnit(DamagedUnits, data.tower)[/ljass].)

 

[Rushhour]

My tower will come soon!

..man, seems like I reinvented the wheel

Lol, thanks. It's been waaaaay too long since I coded Jass last

Submission

Submission removed.

 

[HydraRancher]

I think there should be another section IMO. Lagg tolerance. Spawn 10 of that type of tower, make them all fight at once and see how much lagg there is.

 

[Weep]

However, in contrast with the great power of the orbs, their creation process is extremely slow.

Based on the video, which shows the creation process happening much faster than in the map, at first I thought your map wasn't working right.

Your DummyEffect units are losing their Locust status and becoming selectable after about the first volley. I think you're forgetting to re-apply Locust after hiding/showing them.

Because you use RemoveUnit, the player doesn't receive any bounty or kill credit. You should apply a few million damage first.

Wait...what am I doing, helping competitors?

Also, did you get permission from Kitabatake to modify his tower model?
