Those of you who visit the WEHZ frequently have probably seen their version of this thread. Essentially here you submit your spell ideas for others to use if they want, or even just to showcase your originality and talent.

Demo Maps are welcome and they can be as wild or outrageous as you want. So go crazy.

Here is an example of one:

Name: Psi Scream

Cast Type: Channeled
Targets: Aoe around the caster targeting enemies
Description: You let loose a scream so powerfull that the crippling psionic power slowly pushes nearby enemy units away from you and deals damage to them over time. This also debuffs enemies in a wider range slowing them by 20%, this debuff lasts for 1.5x the time of the scream.
Special Effects: A pulsating purple ring around the caster. The caster also braces itself in an agressive stance and looks up into the air (not sure how to do this yet but i bet its possible with a few models)

you can use this as a template, but you can include any type of description you want, ranks, multiple affects, like i said: go crazy. Just copy and paste to begin:

[noparse]Name:

Cast Type:
Targets:
Description:
Special effects: [/noparse]
 
I took the liberty of making your spell in the editor. I skipped the part of slowing units in far away for 1.5x of the scream duration. Not because it's hard to do in the data editor but because it was cool enough like this and I thought it would look weird.

Here it is, 100% data editor:

I know it doesn't look exactly as you described it but it I think it looks pretty nice. It looks even better in game.
 
cool, but this is for you to post your own ideas for others to use... not a bad thing that u actually made it though, lol :D

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
