This thread has twice as many views as the rules

(Sorry that was a bit off-topic)

How to say? A lot of people don't read the rules

Anywho, 8 days left! Let's get a move on! Submit before the deadline!

 

[Draphoelix]

Okey it seems that my spell got the same name as Kazuga. Inferno. But if that's not "allowed" then I can rename my spell to Breath Of Hell, since it was the name I had at the beginning (all my varables got that name )


PS: Lags at first cast.

Unleash Hell [red text,kewl]

Links hell to this world at the targeted point,unleashing chaos flames and flaming boulders.

[Squishy]

[FroznYoghurt]

really sorry but it seems like you have to remove me from the list >.<

I just haven't found time to work on my spell and I simply won't make it in time :\
Im out :thdown:


Loads of fun seeing all these submissions though :thup:

 

[Flare]

Same here My spell has failed pretty miserably, and I'd rather not remake the spell from scratch just to fix a weird bug. Good luck to all though

 

[Hatebreeder]

Added a screeny and did minor changes on the coding and correcting the tooltip.

Have Fun =)

Does it matter if the spell lags after,let's say,3 casts?Or is just the first cast important?

 

[Curo]

I would think yes, because that means that you have some sort of leak.

Just a little thing that I've noticed: this contest is supposed to be just a regular spell, yet I have seen a lot of entries that, by their description, indicate that they are closer to being ultimates.

It shouldn't lag in the first place...

 

[Flare]

I think it probably does in most cases. Because lag with 1 leak insn't so bad, but when the spell is cast again and it leaks again, the leaks build up, so the lag gets worse.

A few leaks aren't a significant source of lag. If they get into the 100's or 1000's, they become a problem, but not likely before that.

Now, I'll shut up about leaks before Andrewgosu comes along

 

[MoonSlinger]

Don't mean to confuse anyone....
Vitamins don't really have that hellish feeling....
Its a name i thought of when i see the "Hell" theme, but I guess everything has to improve.

New Name:
Flame Supplement

Basically, its the same idea:
Having units writhing in agony until death while healing nearby friendly units.

To whoever is updating:
I have removed the other map to avoid confusion

 

[The Undaddy]

Well,it's timer intensive,and creates like 50+ units per cast :\
AFAIK leaks have been cleaned

Did you try preloading the units? You can preload a unit by preplacing it on the map, and then removing it. It makes the game do all of the loading during the loading screen, rather than when they are first created.

I did this with my spell, which creates 24 units (not instantaneously, however), and it doesn't lag at all unless you cast the ability many times. Then it's just a problem with having that many fire models all onscreen at once, nothing to do with the game itself. If they're not onscreen, there is no lag at all.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Two days to the end of this competition!

Lets get cracking!

Update

So im here to update my spell: Hell-Flare Souls. I changed some of the effects and removed a point leak. :thup:
