SPELL CONTEST #2 | Theme: Forbidden Arts | RESULTS POSTED

[Tyrande_ma3x]

Do we have to add an implementation instruction for the spell? I mean, is a "Read Me" needed?

My last post:

I'm making a spell for the contest, but as I don't play many online maps I'm not sure if it has been done before. How does this sound:

For a period of time the hero collects the souls of the enemies he kills. When the spell ends, he will deal damage to any nearby enemy, damage depending on how many souls he catched.

Does this sounds fun? Has it been done before?

How about this version, how does it sound?

For a period of time the hero collects the souls of the enemies he kills. When the spell ends, the souls will be thrown out of the hero, hitting any nearby enemies.

So the souls will actually fly out from the hero, an equal amount of the enemies killed under the duration of the spell...

That's not required.

Though, it would help if the spell had a configurables block, if coded is JASS.

In terms of implementation and configuration.

the souls will actually fly out from the hero, an equal amount of the enemies killed under the duration of the spell

Seems OK for an idea.

Though, doesn't sound that unique to me, have seen a million times...


Nice to see we've got so many submissions so far!

Keep up the good work!

okay, I've been brainstorming for days now, and i can't come up with a spell that is forbidden and "eye-candy" enough, Is it okay with a summon spell?

 

[Randor244]

I can't see a reason for it not to be okay, though you got to make it really original for it to have a chance

 

[Eyonix]

Awesome, looks like we got quite a few people in the contest :thup:, some great spells have been submitted already.... trying to get mine to work but I have a problem with it, posted it here if you wanna take a look at my trigger.

[Viikuna]

That looks like someone is using UMSWE or WEU and he is not.

 

[Tyrande_ma3x]

Don't know if this was asked before, couldn't find it while browsing the pages, but can we edit our submissions before the deadline?

 

[Draphoelix]

Yes. Would be kinda !#¤# !& if you found a bug in the same moment you submitted it.

17 Posts to go.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Is it okay with a summon spell?

A summoning spell is totally acceptable.


Wish someone came up with a forbidden aura idea...

I always like triggered auras.

Can we edit our submissions before the deadline?

Until the submission thread is not locked, you can edit your map as much as you like.

 

[Romek]

Using UAC isn't allowed for everyone thinking about making auras.
That'd make things far too easy.

You can edit, or even completely change your submission before the deadline for all anyone cares. As long as it's not changed after the deadline.

Personally, I want this contest be as educational as it is fun.

I mean, if we were to allow participants to use all the systems out there,
then it wouldn't develop one's coding skills that much.

(that was a reply to those who want us to approve all systems)

As long as it's not changed after the deadline.

I don't think they are able to re-upload their map if the thread is locked...

Meh.
Am I really the only one who doesnt use a system without first learning what it actually does?

I always like triggered auras.

Do you mean an aura or a passive skill in general? I guess i could make a passive, as i have an idea for one. However, will points be deducted because it is "less fun" then other skills? Because generally speaking a passive (such as devotion aura) in less fun then an active skill (such as storm bolt). I am of course referring to the intangibles ("Is the spell unique and fun?").

- Imports are not allowed, excluding Vexorians caster model

Say i had a normal warcraft 3 icon (non-passive) and i wanted to use it for a passive skill, am i allowed to make a passive icon for it, just so it fits better, or is that also not allowed?

If is isn't allowed, then would points be deducted due to the icon being "out of place", for lack of a better way to say it.

 

[~GaLs~]

No, that is not allowed.

1 ability.

I'm abit confused here.
Can I use dummy ability such as Shockwave, Chain Lightning and Carrion Swarm in my spell?
They are all original warcraft ability.

 

[Romek]

You can use them for things such as stun or slow..
Though I don't see why else you'd want to use a Wc3 spell.
The main spell must be triggered.
