Hard spell ideas needed.

I have decided making spells is really fun. anyway I ran out of ideas, the only ideas I get are too easy to make, gimme a really hard spell to do, I'll make and post it.

I would love an effective tail lash ability. I've tried basing it on forked lightning and immolation, and both came out like crap. Basically, what I want to do is have the unit do a quick spin, and knock nearby units back for a little damage and stun.

Heck, I'll even sweeten the deal for you and kick in some points (if you care) or a few simple to edit models (weaponless models, etc) of your choice.

Biflspud- sry for taking so long, I was away. This was kinda rush job so it will still have some bugs......... probably.

Pascal314- sry this took so long, IT wouldn't work for the longest time, then I realized that there are 2 strombolts.....
I didn't do the time one as thats way too easy, actually this was also very easy....

oopsies i forgot to attach it, here it is

Time Stop is in Final Fantasy Legacy. It actually isn't all that hard to do.

I doubt taking over a unit during channeling would really be all that hard either (trigger with events set up at begins channeling and ends channeling that do a change owner action, and a target selection trigger).

Hrm.. not exactly what I had in mind; the knockback doesn't look realistic (since it moves the unit in just one jump), and the spin's timed wrong. I'll see if I can't smarten it up a little bit though.

Can I do something in return for your efforts?

Time Stop can always be modelled on War Stomp, given 99999 range and deals 0 damage, with whatever duration you want it to last for.

time stop can be done really simple just pause all units wait then unpause all units.....

Biflspud-yeah I see what you mean, if you want, I can fix it for you.
no need to give something in return.

Make an ability like "Slots", say pause the target unit and place 3 treasure chests in front of it that rapidly change colors then stop one by one when the caster clicks a special button. Make each combination of colors have a specific outcome so when the ability is finished it can do all sorts of nasty things. Super cripple, shrink, maybe even an instant kill, teleport to nearest town hall, long lasting silence, and other stuff. Be creative ;)

I hope that is hard enough for ya.

I'm still a little stumped on it - I'm trying to have it so a unit gets Impaled when your unit is facing away from it (i.e., facing the same way as the target unit). Unfortunately, I don't seem to be correctly checking that; the unit spins alright, but nothing happens when they reach the target degrees.

Check it out if you have time (type -twirl); it's something I'd like to have, but I've wasted so much time on it, I'm about ready to give up.

I have no idea what all that code was trying to do, so i just modified my original thing to do what you wanted

Here's a fun one:

Teleport - can be cast on a point to warp the caster to that point - if there's an enemy unit in the way it is destroyed, unless it is of too high a level or it also has the teleport ability, in which case the teleporting caster is warped off to a random point on the map.

by in the way do mean at the point where it teleports to or somehwere in between the start point and end point?

either one!
