Interesting skills map.

This is an early skills test map made by myself. Contained within are several heroes, all with their own unique set of custom abilities. I made this map to show people how to create interesting skills. Also, to test the limits of the world editor itself. (The standard world editor was used to generate all of these skills, no 3rd party programs were used, only triggers and the object editor were needed to maek all of the skills contained within.)
If you find a bug, feel the urge to comment, or even want to know how I did anything contained within this map, feel free to reply, and I will get you an answer in a relatively short amount of time.

That being said enjoy the map.

The only bug I have noticed so far is that you need to set the floating text that tells about the characters to variables. If you go on another spot that displays text before the first floating text disapears then the first one stay there forever.

Bugs:
Black Text/Dark Gray - Hard to read
Dark Blue Text - Hard to read
Pray for Armor of Faith - Doesnt work
Avatar Status - Doesnt work
Thickened Skin - Doesnt work
Whirl-Wind - Doesnt work

Other then the bugs I liked the map, it was nice seeing how you could make regular editor spells look cool. Although I didn't see any that looked like they used triggers. Try enhancing them with triggers instead of just editing already existing ones.

I'll be sure to add a remove existing text command to the display triggers if I ever revise the map.
In regards to teh spells not working, what exactly do you mean? Their names do not necesarily apply to the existing skills, for example avatar status is a modified db. The thing is, the name may not be what you expect the skill to be lol. I was fairly sure most of the evasion//db//rs//cleave based skills worked. Perhaps I am incorrect, anyway thanks for the feedback. (You may think, this map is pretty nooobish, and in fact you'd probably be right. Since this is a rather old map I made to help show new mappers how to create custom skills without triggers. If you'd like to see an example of custom trigger skills I've made, just observe the MECH hero map thread in this very forum.)
(edit: The time freeze spell uses triggers :) )
