Spell Making Session #10

SPELL MAKING SESSION #10

The point of this, and all other spell making sessions, is to give all spell makers a challenge along with a specific theme. You will as a participant submit a single spell based around the given theme. Winner will be decided by public vote.

Reward:
The winner of the session gets 20 reputation points and the above award icon. (Appears under your name and in your profile)

Rules:

• You can use JASS / GUI / WEU / vJass / Anything else that you want for your spell. (Specify in the test map and entry post)
• The spell you enter must be new and made specifically for this contest.
• Everybody is allowed and encouraged to enter, as long as they follow the rules.
• Please post info and WIP screenshots of your spell while you are making it to get more activity in this thread.
• Imported models are only allowed if they are used for very minor things. (A particle emitter or ribbon emitter could be acceptable)
• Submitted maps may be no larger than 500kb.
• One entry per person.

When your spell is finished, just attach the map to a post in the thread located here. The reason I'm putting submissions in another topic is to keep it clean and easy to follow-up on. One of the biggest pains of these sessions is weeding through the topic and finding what's a submission and what isn't! When the session is finished, I recommend submitting your spell to the resource section! (Assuming it follows the rules)

Theme:
Aimed Spells ~
The theme of this contest is to make a spell that requires aiming to hit its mark! That means no target-unit abilities. Some examples of aimed spells from standard WC3 are Breath of Fire, Shockwave, Carrion Swarm, Flame Strike, Blizzard, and so forth. It can hit a single target, it can hit allies, it can hit enemies, it can hit anything! Notice that this leaves it open to the participant to decide just how the aiming takes place since the only requirement is that it be aimed somehow.

Deadline:
The session ends fourteen days from now. (24:00 GMT-5: March 15, 2008)
Potential extensions are possible if lots of people need them.

Future Themes:
If you have ideas for future themes for spell sessions, please PM them to myself. Since Blu's dropped off the face of the Earth, I'll be handling these henceforth. This session's theme was actually generated from the last theme topic!

In case you are curious who won the 9th session, it was Naakaloh with Cerulean Storm by one vote, meaning it was really close! The reason it took so long to get taken care of was that I wasn't an actual moderator of the scripts and triggers forum and Blu was inactive, so the reward couldn't be given out. Because of that, following sessions were postponed. Hopefully this should be a regular thing now, of course depending upon activity and the number of submissions!

Anyways, let's make this session a successful one! Good luck everybody!

Finally another spell contest, were about time.
And due my WE doesn't bug atm, i'm just saying one thing.
I'M IN!

Within 10 minutes of reading this I already got an idea for a spell. :) I'm in.

im in, got a nice spell idea, just hope i can make it :p

Oooh, my first contest on Wc3Campaigns... gotta think of something good. I'm in, though.

I want to be in... But I can't make anything really nice, though. X_X

I'll see what I can do...

So a good idea dawned on me just now. I think I dare say that I'm in.

Could it be a spell that I had just submitted to a forum or must I make a new one?

Sorry! Part of the rules!

just so no one accidently copies my idea, here is the name and tooltip of my spell:

Deadly Revival
A wave of Deadly force flows from the hero, causing damage to land units in a line. If a unit dies due to this spell, the unit is revived and under your control.
Level one damage - 200
Level two damage - 300
Level three damage - 400.

Has this been made before?

EDIT Also, does the spell have to be JESP?
EDIT 2 oh :
ANOTHER EDIT what will the spells be judged on? will we lose points for leaks, game cache use, etc?

If only I had visited this forum first, instead of thehelpers... :( Unfortunately, the spell fits the requirements too.

I suppose that means if the users like your spell (be it leaky or anything), then they can and will vote for you, meaning you can win anyway. Still, though, leaky scripts are never good.

Well, if it leaks terribly, people will notice it when testing it. Also, certain users (Such as myself) will definitely consider code carefully in who they vote for!

Game cache is fine though. Any well-defined and well-known system is fair game for use in spells. Just make sure you explain whatever it is you use in your submission post and in the testmap.

I have a noobish question,
by:

• One entry per person.

You mean 1 Spell only right?
Or do you mean you can have multiple "Aimed" spells, just one map...

Maybe take the best one out of 3 or something?
:P


Heh and i should be joining, hopefully nothing gets in the way...
:)

GL and HF all :)

One entry means one spell!
