Spell Time Lapse

[cr4xzZz]

Time Lapse

GUI/JASS? - GUI
MUI? - No
Leakless? - As far as I know yes.
No screenshots, because the ability is instant and you will see only the Blink special effect...
The values are set every 1 second, but you can easily change that if you want.


Warps time back on itself, transporting the Weaver 5 seconds into the past. Does not affect gold, XP, cooldowns or items.

Level 1 - 150 manacost.
Level 2 - 75 manacost.
Level 3 - 0 manacost.

Cooldown: 120/90/60 seconds.
More description: If anyone doesn't understand what this spell does, well, it moves the caster to the position where he was 5 seconds ago and sets HP and MP to which it was 5 seconds ago.

And hummm...

Where's the spell map?

 

[cr4xzZz]

Oh my gosh... Just a sec

 

[the Immortal]

Looks good, works fine and I can't find any leaks. + rep from me

We talked earlier about that spell and he told me to make it in JASS, forgetting to say that he makes it too. So if you don't mind I will also post my JASS / MUI way

 

[NetherHawk]

you might want to add a trigger preventing the unit from immediately casting when he learns or revives.

 

[cr4xzZz]

Hm, maybe I'll add it. But not now because I have work... So, no other comments?

Update time! Added a trigger which prevents immediate cast when the Hero revives.
EDIT: And added JASS version

 

[Sim]

There are no implementation instructions in both maps.

The GUI has instant casting time because of the fact it is based on Fan of Knives. That makes it different to the one in DotA, but it's only a minor detail.

But there is one in the first post?

Well, I'll fix that... I'll base it of Berserk because it won't bug it.

 

[darkRae]

If you base it off Berserk then the Casting Unit won't play its animation and start the effect of the ability instantly, while the Nerubian Weaver in DotA does in fact play an animation.

Well, I'm just suggesting to make it as similar to the one in DotA as possible

 

[cr4xzZz]

Ok, fixed... Now it's based on Berserk and shouldn't have any bugs. Hope this is the last update..

 

[Sim]

> But there is one in the first post?

Doesn't matter, it must be inside the spell map.

 

[cr4xzZz]

> Doesn't matter, it must be inside the spell map.
Oh, didn't know that... In the last update I added in the GUI version. Please, tell me if the JASS version needs fixing so I can make it a bigger update. If there code doesn't need fixing then I'll add later an implementation instructon..

 

[Sim]

Remove the JASS version. I just noticed it wasn't made by you, and so it must not be included.

 

[cr4xzZz]

Ready.

 

[Sim]

Ok, fixed... Now it's based on Berserk and shouldn't have any bugs. Hope this is the last update..

Doesn't change the fact it is still instant-cast.

Anyways, this is only a minor thing... approved!

 

[HellCraft]

i thought Time Lapse was Jass

 

[cr4xzZz]

> i thought Time Lapse was Jass
In DotA it is JASS. Maybe some day when I have time I'll make a JASS MUI version too...

 

[mightylink]

i saw this in dota all stars, it can be weak or very powerful depending when you use it, helps save you from near deaths
