Unholy Pervasion
btnspellshadowantishadong8.gif


A spell from my map - Mini Ashenvale Arena.
Idea came from Cohadar's Ancestral Spirits, so this is why they look similar.

GUI/JASS/vJASS? vJASS.
MUI? Yes.
Leakless? Yes.
Lagless? Yes. (It's normal to lag on first cast)
Follows JESP? I couldn't find a way to make it fully JESP... Only two arguments aren't.
Requires?
- TT v3.4 by Cohadar
- JASS NewGen Pack v1.5a

Description:
Creates spirits that will follow you everywhere but will return if they go too far away. The spirits will attack all enemies they acquire, while in the same time, enemies will be slowed greatly. Spirits cannot be killed unless they are Purged or targeted by a really powerful spell. Attacked spirits will explode violently, sending dark waves everywhere and burning mana. Duration, number of spirits, strength of the slow and the damaging from each explosion increases each level. The slow lasts as long as the spell continues, even if all spirits are killed.

> I love this Spell
Hehe. Couldn't do it fully as you suggested, never used illusions before... Must start practicing some day.

> Might take it over for my Game xD
Sure, but wait until (if) it gets approved. There still may be 1-2 leaks out there. :)

Well this spell sux, mostly because it missed the theme.
It looks absolutely holy but it claims to be unholy, even the hero has holy attack lol.
And fire lord model has nothing to do with holy, unholy or even ghost theme.

I suggest you choose some better models/effects or change the theme completely.
Perhaps some skeleton models since you already got skeleton on that icon.

As for coding:
JASS:

    method onDestroy takes nothing returns nothing
        local integer i = 0
        call DestroyEffect(.sfx)
        loop
            exitwhen .spirit<i> == null  // when you use null for loop check
            call KillUnit(.spirit<i>)
            set .spirit<i> = null // You must null the stuff you are looping
            set i = i + 1
        endloop
    endmethod
</i></i></i>


JASS:

// learn to write conditions and filters in multiple lines
private function Enum takes nothing returns boolean
    if IsUnitEnemy(GetFilterUnit(), GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())) then
        if IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_DEAD) == false then
            if IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE) == false then
                return true
            endif
        endif
    endif
    return false
endfunction


JASS:

// wtf is this? use scope initializer.
function InitTrig_UnholyPervasion takes nothing returns nothing

> Well this spell sux, mostly because it missed the theme.
Maybe. That's why I made it fully customizeable. But I like it the way it is. People have different tastes.
Really, just because holy light uses some yellow flash and my spell uses this flash it automatically has to be holy.

> And fire lord model has nothing to do with holy, unholy or even ghost theme.
No? But I love it for undeadish/unholy spells.

> or change the theme completely.
Well, if other people don't like it the way it is, I will change it to something really unholy.

> // You must null the stuff you are looping
Will null.

> // learn to write conditions and filters in multiple lines
Yeah, better readability...

> // wtf is this? use scope initializer.
Had a problem in the past and stopped using public InitTrig. I'll fix it but if I still have them, I'll stick to the current one.

EDIT: Actually, I'll edit the theme right now...

I am not talking about public InitTrig, I am talking about this:
JASS:
scope SomeScopeName initializer SomeInitializerName

private function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
   //...
endfunction

private function SomeInitializerName takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger trig = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerAddActions(trig, function Actions)
    //...
endfunction

endscope

Same stuff as for libraries

Btw initializer functions can be public, private or none, it does not matter.
I just like them private.

Updated as Cohadar suggested. Changed the theme to something more undeadish (now it's purple ^^) but did no coding modifications on the spell. Only minor stuff. Working on screenshots.

  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars

    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing

    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
