Vexorian's Spell Creation Thread (free) (My Comp Is Back!)

SUP MAN,

YOU WANT A CHALLANGE? I GOT ONE FOR YOU. I ASKED HOW TO DO THIS IN THE STARFALL ANIMATION THREAD, BUT THEY SAID I WAS BITING OFF MORE THAN I COULD CHEW. SO, HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO PROVE THEM WRONG. I THINK THIS WOULD BE A REALLY COOL SEPLL IF PULLED OFF PROPERLY. HERE GOES:

I am trying to change Starfall and turn it into Waterfall, an ultamate skill for my water elemental hero that i am creating. Here is what i want the final product to look like:

1) I want it to have the functionality of starfall (channeling spell)
2) But have the special effects of Monsoon (that AOE spell with rain and lighting)
3) Also I want the stars from starfall to be Water Elemental Projectial Art.
4) And finaly, I want the impact effect on targeted units to produce the NagaBulidingDeath special effect (the one that looks like a big splash of water)

Any help you can give me getting this done will be awsome.

GOOD LUCK MAN, IF ANYONE CAN DO IT I KNOW ITS YOU.

Is this thread still alive?

Oke, the hero is a Tank and it needs to have a skill that makes some kind of drone fly above the tank's head.
After adding the skill a drone will automatically appear.


I'd like to be able to give the drone some orders through its ability button. You click the ability button and a new window opens up (like when using spellbook). The new window includes the orders:

- Enter Bay (drone flies inside the tank)

- Scout (you have to target an area with this causing the drone the circle around the area and attacking any units that get close)

- Guard (same as with scout only the drone starts attacking units when they get close, can only be ordered if the drone is already able to attack)

- Follow (look below for instructions on the follow order)

- Repair (can only be used when the drone has already acquired this ability)

- Kill (you target a unit and the drone starts attacking it after which it will start to follow the guard order, can only be ordered if the drone is already able to attack.)

When the drone has not been given other orders or is ordered to 'follow' it is supposed to follow these rules:

- When the tank is standing still the drone should circle around the tank.

- When the tank is moving the drone has to to fly along with the moving tank.

- The drone has has to target units targetted by the tank.


Also the drone has to have some specifications, I don't mind if you change these into something you think is cooler, these were just some of my ideas:

- The Drone makes use of mana shield. If the drone is out of mana it will lose the shield, become invulnerable and fly inside the tank. After a little while the drone will come out again (fully recharged).

- At a curtain levek (doesn't matter) the drone gains the repair ability, if the tank is standing still the drone will fly untop of the tank and start repairing hp.

- The drone needs to be able to gain a machinegun at a curtain level (doesn't matter) and it needs to be able to gain a sort of bombing feature (like the gyrocopters can get).

- The drone looks aren't important.

- Drone needs to be able to gain something like bigger sight.


Some more possible abilities:

- Self-destruct! (makes the drone crash on the units below and explode)
- Pinpoint (the tank changes to siege mode and is unable to move, you get control over the drone and lose control over the tank. Through the drone you are able to pinpoint areas which the tank will then blast with his siege canon. You can leave siege mode through an ability of the drone.


Well... I suppose no-one is going to make this skill cause it takes way to much work but even so I've still got a little hope and because I want this skill so badly I'm still asking.

Goodbye, Remy.

serious, i doubt he will do this... all u need to do is go to ability -> starfall, check the buffs, go to the buffs and change them and finnally add SFX via triggers

Well, actually that's not all. You'd need to change the WE attack projectile to run vertically intead of horizontally, which from what I can tell isn't easy, as Cookie is the only person I have ever seen attempt it.
Although, other than that, it wouldn't be very hard... just change the effect to monsoon, the targetart to the naga building death, ect. WHat you should really do is go into the modelling forum and ask someone to make the WE projectile verticle.

Could you make some sort of spell that every hit it will cost you XX mana, and decrease the enemy's armour by X. Say level 1: (-1 armour every hit 30 mana) level 2: (-1 armour every hit 20 mana) level 3: (-2 armour every hit 10 mana).

3 seconds after you have stopped hitting them, and you have left the area of the target, their armour would change back to normal.

Hopefully this spell is possible to do.

Thanks

Enough spell ideas for me, thread closed
