Magical Christmas Tree
By Romek

​

The Magical Christmas Tree (tm) is a tower created for the 6th edition of Ghan's Tower Contest. The tower spawns projectiles from the base of the tower, which rotate around it whilst moving towards the top. Once a projectile has reached the top of the tower and the cooldown is inactive, the tower will unleash a volley of projectiles to home in on, and damage enemy units.

Sorry about the cheesy name. The tower does about 100 DPS by default. It'd be too weak for testing purposes otherwise. I hope my coding isn't too rusty. Enjoy.

Edit: Changed the colour, ground texture and damage.

Star of Betlehem

So, this is my submission. Made it a little in a hurry, no imports, no moddeling

I hope it's okay that I disabled the debug trigger (killing units without the move order), as it killed any unit stunned by a tower

A happy new year to you guys

Nice towers.

Btw Romek, why did you use a blighted tree? :S It looks like your magical tree is dead.

 

[Romek]

It's a modified winter tree model that's been coloured blue in the editor.
I guess I'll tweak the colour a little to make it teal and lighter, and upload again tomorrow.

Edit: It's done. No new screenshots though.

Santa Tower

Santa goes berserk. Flinging his bag around killing those bastards.

Enjoy.

First time I'm playing around with Hashtables. Seems pretty fun.​

Edited: Tooltips, slight comments, and trigger modification when the tower gets removed.

 

[BlackRose]

Happy New Years! Yeah yeah, unimportant. I'll check all those towers out and throw my own comments about them here later.

DrEvil's tower submission...
Yeah I know there a few bugs >_< but they only occured after I rushed my code to change some names xD

Quite a weird tower I made... and it is kinda large

I present Evil Elfs or something like that... Naughty Elfs... ehhhh I dunno

All I know is that.. my tower was sooo annoying to make...

Good luck to all and to all good luck

btw for the boxes:

Green= Building
Blue= Rotating
Red= Shooting

and some more info:

// I hadn't quite thought of a name and I just had thought of elfs... making presents...
// But they were bad elfs... who aim to destroy christmas by throwing other presents
// Away and at the creeps... which doesn't seem evil... but in their mind it is!

// SO the tower begins ... 4 elfs emerge from the tower one by one
// NExt they start creating boxes one by one
// AFter the 4 original boxes have been created the tower starts a circular motion which
// stabilizes the boxes velocity as they are unstable by nuclear chemicals
// Each box can shoot at a unique target or the same target as another elf (in their tower)
// But this can be modified in the Globals block 
// "private constant boolean BOX_SAME_TARGETS=false" so that each box needs a unique target
// after the box has unleashed its eplosion chemical reaction on the target
// the elf will start to channel a new box
// take in mind this is dynamic so many boxes can be channeled at a given time
// when the box has reached its target it opens up releasing 1 of 3 deadly poisons onto the
// target:

//1) Anthrax : The unit takes damage over time and can be effected by 3 stacks of it at once
//2) Deadly-Freeze: The unit is slowed down and can be further slowed down to 3 stacks
//3) Nuke-lox: An instant explosion causing AoE damage and splashing radiation over the AoE
//             if targets are hit by any damage they will have a %chance to take double damage

I see we have some competition

EDIT: Update with Nukelox double damage based on stacks... lol Nukelox is soo OP especially on rank 3 with anthrax dealing double damage most of the ticks >_<

Best of luck to everything! And happy new year

 

[HydraRancher]

Hehe last day of submissions.

 

[Ghan]

Due to the upgrade to vB 4 that absorbed a lot of my time and kept the forum down for some hours, I will accept entries for about the next 12 hours and 20 minutes from the time of this post.

Good luck!

 

[HydraRancher]

Wow. The Helper looks so new. It's like a super upgrade.

 

[Romek]

Any guesstimate on how long the judging will take?

 

[Ghan]

Judging should hopefully only take a few days. I have collected the entries and will accept no more at this point. Good luck.

 

[Romek]

Any progress on the grading?

 

[HydraRancher]

Any progress on the grading?

We all failed.

 

[Romek]

> We all failed.
Exams on my mind.

 

[Weep]

Hopefully Ghan's brain didn't throw a prompt to GPF.

 

[Romek]

Any progress?

 

[HydraRancher]

We all failed.

I quote myself. =D
