Ultrablast
by XeNiM666

I got nothing to do here so here's another spell with a stupid name.

Can't think of any good name for this spell.

GUI/JASS/vJASS : vJASS
MUI/MPI : MUI
Leakless : Yes. Inform me if not
Lagless : Lags when spammed
Description : Channels for 2 seconds to cocentrate all of his magical power and release a wave of pure magic that deals pure magic damage depending on the caster's current mana when he started channeling.

Screenshots :

Code : Please critique my coding...

Imma chargin mah lazer?

The map does not seem to be compiled; war3map.j contains vJASS code and the map will exit to the WC3 main screen when I try to play it.

Nice GFX but nothing for SFX.

UPDATED: v.1.1
See changelog..

@Weep
- Thanks for pointing that out.... +rep
@kingkingyyk3
- Haha thanks... ( But what does GFX mean? LOL )

Need more comments!

Avaleirra · Oct 1, 2009

Looks awesome, +rep

BUMP-ness...

TriggerHappy · Oct 2, 2009

Well, you wanted code critique.

Why are you using [ljass]GetSpellTargetLoc()[/ljass]? GetSpellTargetX/Y were introduced in patch 1.24.

You should probably make the attachment point/flying height configurable/

JASS:

    set c.eff = AddSpecialEffectTarget( ORB_MODEL, c.orb, &quot;origin&quot; )
    call SetUnitFlyHeight( c.orb, 100.00, 0.00 )

You make want to make the orb's pathing configurable like this;

JASS:

if IGNORE_PATHING then
    call SetUnitX(c.orb, x)
    call SetUnitY(c.orb, y)
else
    call SetUnitPosition( c.orb, x, y )
endif

Though it would require you to do some bounds checking. Not that big of a deal though.

You may want to store [ljass]OrderId( SPELL_ORDER_ID )[/ljass] since your calling it multiple times.
Same goes for storing the casters owning player ([ljass]GetOwningPlayer( b.caster )[/ljass])
And also for [ljass]Atan2( c.ty - c.cy, c.tx - c.cx )[/ljass]

I haven't tested the spell so I have no comments for the visual aspect.

XeNiM666 · Oct 2, 2009

1. I dont have 1.24... My stupid brother doesn't want the patch to be downloaded...
2. Done

3. Somehow, when I use SetUnitX/Y, the dummy doesn't move...
4 - 5. Done

6. Why? I only use it once...

UPDATED v1.2
Thanks TriggerHappy!

TriggerHappy · Oct 2, 2009

Why? I only use it once...

My bad.

Weep · Oct 2, 2009

Shoop da whoop!

The FX are a bit big...maybe size it down to something a bit less screen-filling? (Especially the projectiles.)

The spell description ought to say that it will drain all of the caster's mana.

XeNiM666 said:
3. Somehow, when I use SetUnitX/Y, the dummy doesn't move...

For whatever reason, the position of the model for a unit with 0 movement speed will not change when using SetUnitX/Y :nuts:...projectile dummies therefore need a movement speed of at least 1. (Dummy casters should have a movement speed of 0 for instant casting.)

Haha thanks...
GFX -> graphic effect
SFX -> sound effect
