I Am At My Wit's End! Plz Help.

OK...Maybe you've seen a custom game called Heaven vs. Hell floating around the Frozen Throne customs list on occassion...This is my latest creation, and is in no way based on the previous game of the same name (which i have never actually played) , but rather Defense of the Anceients AE4 for the Vanilla Warcraft III ROC.


Long story short...I've got a huge bug


One of the character's ultimate abilities does the following

-Turns the screen fog blood red
-Creates a Heavy outland fog effect across the map area
-slows the game speed for all players (matrix style)
-shakes the camera for all players
-creates a large "rippling" terrain deformation around the caster...
- selects every object within 1700 of the caster and deals it 500 dmg.
- selects every object within 1700 of the caster and creates a "fire" effect overhead of the picked unit.

When i cast this in game, it AUTOMATICALLY DROPS a large number of the players in the game. (namely those players closest to the blast radius it would seem)

Now..theres alot of effects and shit going on here so is just BattleNet's automatic response to so much data being flung around so quickly to boot ppl as it were viewing the data as a virus or some other malicious code?

Or can someone come up with another reason why my spell is BOOTING my own players.....It works fine for me in single player and not ALL players experience boots...sometimes even when they are within the radius. It is off and on.. and truly a disturbing bug.

Help please.

... It would seem your fade filter doesn't want to work. That and the camera shakeage. The camera is most likey your biggest issue. Try not shaking it.

Ok....would switching it so that ONLY the TRIGGERING player experience the shake fix the issue, or should it go altogether..?

I had thought it was a pretty basic effect...

You cant chnge game speed when in GAME on battle net! That is your problem.

ahhh... Thank you very much for clarifying that for me...

Its not like it was a big thing anyway..just a little xtra effect :0

I appreciate the help man. Look for Heaven vs. Hell 1.2 soon :)

I think it would only make you lag if you used the spell if you only made it shake the triggering player i'm not so sure

Cooler is correct. You could slow all units aspects by 50% and then set them back to normal after the spell. Simulate that same effect.

Or have a huge Tornado Aura that slows them... best idea I can think of.
