Alright, I got one for ya.

Shock Arrows- The ranger fires 6 special arrows into the air, which land in a "circle" (more like a hexagon :p) in the target area. The arrows stick into the ground, and create a stasis barrier between them, keeping the units trapped inside. Then the arrows unleash forked lightning on the units trapped inside the barrier.

My thoughts:
For the base spell I'm thinking you could use Cluster Rockets, since I'm guessing that the 6 projectiles would land in a perfect hexagon anyways. Then you create dummy units with locust ability that look like arrows at the locations the projectiles hit. I think you'd have to edit the unit so that the arrows point down, and not to the side. Then you just add forked lightning o the units, and tell them to cast it on random units in the targeted area.

If you can think of a better/ more efficient way to do it, by all means, go ahead. That's just how I was running it through in my mind, I just don't know how to do all of it.

Stuff

I have a few thoughts about an ability.
Shouldn't be too difficult for you I think.
I can't access the editor before tuesday in eight days (I'm on vacation :shades:) so I can't download it and test it before that.
(so I dunno when I can check back in on this thread either, but be patient. I will ;))

Name:
Static Shield
Levels:
3
Specifics:
The spell is a shield spell for a tauren hero "Thunder Bull"
It's an activated ability that, when active, converts the first spell (deleting the effects of that spell!) cast upon the hero to a bolt of lightning (or something like that) that heals the thunder bull a little hp.
It should have fairly short cooldown but not heal very much.
What should increase with ability level is amount of hp healed, maybe like 80/140/200 or something..

I would very much prefer if you could do it with regular triggers and base abilities,
since I've never tried JASS before.
I've tried poking around with it a little before but never got it any good,
so I was thinking maybe you can help :eek:

Thanks in advance mate :)
good god that's a hard spell to do, I'll try but don't get your hopes to high

I have an ability idea:

Name
Knockback
Levels
Two
Description
The Hero channels his/her power and bashes an unit, dealing ## damage and knocking it back.
This should be done with a trigger that fires when an unit starts the effect of this ability. This trigger purpose is to set the variables and turn on and off a second trigger. This 2nd trigger is a periodic event trigger where you push the unit, and set a new variable. This can't be MUI in GUI (because it has 2 triggers), but can in JASS. Good luck!
i'm on it - and yes i can be done in GUI with some custom script

Sword impale - I'll try

Here a request ^ ^;;

Skill Name: Glacier Armor
Levels: 15

Abilities
Primary
Level 1 - Level 5, Armor increases by 2 as level increase. (So 2,4,6,8,10)
Level 6 - Level 10, Armor Increases by 5 now. (15,20,25,30,35)
Level 11 - Level 15, Armor Increaes by 10 now. (45,55,65,75,85)

Secondary
Level 1 - Level 5, 2% when struck to "freeze" attacking unit. % Increases by 2 per level. (2,4,6,8,10)
Level 6 - Level 15, same effect but incriments of 3% now. (13,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,37,40).

What I can get around is...
Having the system check that "level X frost armor" is ON the unit. (It was casted on the unit, it doesnt have the "skill", I can get it to do a skill check.)
Apply X% of "freeze" to the unit equivlent to X level.

Either post or PM me for any "extra" details you'd like on the spell. =\
hmm might take awhile - don't expect it soon

Really? oh crap :eek:
Well, if it makes things easier on you it would be just as good for me as a passive ability with a periodic event in a trigger and so on.
That's how I started out in the first place anyway, so if it's easier it's fine.

I had an idea of how to do it a while ago,
but I never made it in the editor so I might not get anywhere :p

ty for trying mate. remember that challenges makes you stronger ;) :D

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
