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

[Viikuna]

Ye, Blood curse is cool.
IMO you should be able to cancel channeling and still deal damage.
( Of course it would deal less damage, because not so much hp is sacrificed. )

And coding is not yet perfect. You should recycle your timers and groups, use Sin and Cos members instead of angle ( when angle doesnt change ) and you could use your filterfunc to do actions for unit group, instead of looping through it. ( Use a one static group and return false in filterfunc )

 

[Andrewgosu]

I haven't looked at the submissions, will do when the deadline drops...

Should be interesting.


Anyway, that's 4 days remaining.

Good luck!


P.S

Gals, if that is an imported icon I can see on the screenshot, then remove it, please.

No imports are allowed, what-so-ever (except the ones allowed in the rules).

 

[Viikuna]

Tha icon looks like a Horde Banner icon from Rexxar campaign.

>>Of course it would deal less damage, because not so much hp is sacrificed.
Well, okey! Because it make sense too.
It shouldn't just waste their hp by not dealing any damage to the others.
But, deadline draws near, I'll see if I can fix it really quick together with my school works. T-T
Loads of school work pressured me.
Great possibility I may not able to do it..

>>You should recycle your timers and groups
Hmm, I know that, but, if I do that, it will be rather the same as the system made by vex.
Recycling timer, groups, handles.

>>use Sin and Cos members instead of angle
Sorry, my math are really bad, or even worse than you think.
People know me before knew I'm a math idiot.
(That means I don't know how to use Sin/Cos instead of angle)

>>you could use your filterfunc to do actions for unit group, instead of looping through it. ( Use a one static group and return false in filterfunc )
That is.. er..
I tried my best to optimized the code by reducing most function that may be able to be removed.
Well, but I get what you mean by that. I'll see what can I do.

Edit:
>>Gals, if that is an imported icon I can see on the screenshot, then remove it, please.
Huh? I don't think I have any imported icon.
The spell icon is base on the Sell Unit or something similar to that name's icon.

What? I don't think theres 4 left is there?

Gals, if that is an imported icon I can see on the screenshot, then remove it, please.

Its not imported.

No imports are allowed, what-so-ever (except the ones allowed in the rules).

While we are on this topic:

Um, i want to use one of the hidden icons for the spell, however it doesn't seem to have a disabled icon, is it okay for me to import a custom disabled icon for it (or just a whole knew set of icons even though they are the same as a normal one).

 

[Viikuna]

Hmm, I know that, but, if I do that, it will be rather the same as the system made by vex.
Recycling timer, groups, handles.

I dont see why this ís a problem.

Actually, you could also use static timers and groups. My contest entry is a good example of that.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Sorry, my bad bad about the icon.

Actually, yes, three days, as there are 28 days in february this year, not 29.

 

[emjlr3]

nothing more forbidden then Balefire (coming soon...)

 

[Randor244]

Balefire? As in... WoT?

I MUST see that

 

[Genkora]

I finished my ability Divine Mission and submitted it. I think it's pretty good, but then again I have never entered a spell making contest so I don't expect to do amazing.

I had it almost done at one point, then was like OH SHI- because it wasn't MUI. Took me a while to figure it out, but I am pretty sure it is MUI now, no problems detected when I tested it.

If anyone cares to look at it, it's a ability that you can use on your own units to turn them into suicide bombers that creates a fear effect (like howl of terror and psychic scream in WoW) and does siege damage.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

Balefire?!
Have to see the trigger
That seems incredibly hard to do for me Oo

 

[free_killing]

Hmm, whats balefire?

 

[Randor244]

It's something fans of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (like me ) will love...

 

[free_killing]

but, can i have a description of what it does?

 

[Randor244]

Ok, I have no time describing it myself as it's quite complicated, but here's the description from a WoT fansite. It can be a little hard to understand for those who havn't read the books

During the War of Power, the One Power was used in ways previously unimagined. It was used as a fearsome weapon, and as a tool to make conventional weapons more dangerous.

But no use of the One Power was as frightening as the weave known as balefire. Both sides of the war discovered this dangerous weave, and used it liberally. It was invincible. The searing liquid fire destroyed anything it touched.

But then both sides discovered the hidden cost associated with balefire. It actually burned threads of the Pattern out of existence before they were destroyed with balefire. The stronger the weave of balefire, the further back the thread was destroyed.

Once this was discovered, both sides discontinued the use of balefire. During the year balefire was used, entire cities were destroyed with this most dangerous weapon. Had the use of balefire continued, it is quite possible the entire Pattern would have unraveled. The very existence of the Pattern would have been endangered by widespread use of balefire.

While its use is forbidden even to this day, there are some who still possess the knowledge to weave balefire. It can only be hoped that these individuals never again choose to use balefire. For when one begins its use, others will follow. And the Pattern might again be endangered.

Oka? ;P
Hmm, something with fire

 

[Randor244]

As you can read from the description, emjlr3 was right, nothing is more forbidden than balefire

 

[mr-death]

How many hours left until the submission thread is closed?

 

[Randor244]

I guess midnight - anything else would be strange - but I'm not sure.

 

[Andrewgosu]

There is no certain time in hours, somewhere tomorrow.

Just to allow last-minute spells to be uploaded...


When the submission thread is closed, it's final and the grading will begin.
