Create Water

[Varoze]

So, I have a hero that's stronger in water than on land, and I want his ultimate to create water in the selected area, which would dissappear after 1 minute.
Is there anyone that can do this? Hopefully in GUI, but JASS would be okay too, if you tell me how to insert it

So, basically, the terrain is normally grass/dirt/dark grass/blight, and I want the spell to be 5 levels, 200/400/600/800/1000 AoE, makes the terrain water (Or just look like water, but has the floatability terrain pathing), and reverts to normal after 1 minute.

Thanks in advance,
Varoze

As far as my trigger knowledge goes, I'm pretty sure that you can't create water using triggers. You could however create a terrain deformation and maybe use the water model from the Night Elf Moon Well to create a water effect. That's as close as you're going to get, unless someone knows of a way using supa-advanced JASS trigs.

I have started working on your spell. Actually its very easy, but you will need to finish it becouse I dont have time to make the spell for all players (I will create only for Player 1 (Red)), but I have created the variables needed for all players (sorry, I tried to make it without variables, but the triggers are getting much longer and I dont have the time to do it).

Edit 1: I've decided to do everything for you . Its not much but you will have to wait .

Edit 2: I got to player 6... six more players to go . I know there is an easyer way but I am not sure that it would work...

Edit 3: OK, everything is done, if you want to download the map CLICK HERE, or scroll down and click on the attached file. I uploaded it in 2 places, becouse I didnt know that users can attach files to their comments, so I first uploaded it in epicwar.com and then I found this "Add the file" Hope you like it

It looks good, just a few things to point out. In your trigger you have

Code: Select all

Conditions
    (Ability being cast) Equal to Rain 
    (Owner of (Casting unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)

Which, is right after the event..so that would mean that it works for red only..probably did it when you first made the spell, but after deciding to do it completely, you forgot to remove that. The trigger itself looks good, but you could save some space by making a unit array instead of 12 separate variables.

Nothing really else i can see wrong, just as a side note though, the water itself when its created can be clicked on, and has a huge selection..which disables movement inside the water..your stuck clicking it and staying in the middle. Simply adding the locust ability to the water unit will fix that.

Good job and thx ;D

Well, I didnt use any arrays because I am kinda new at it, I wasnt sure that it would work and I didnt have any time to test it with arrays, so I had to be 100% sure that the trigger is working. I fixed everything now, it should work properly, I deleted every variable except one, I added an array to it (so now the trigger is much more simple) and I added the locust ability to the Water units . I hope you like it

Its good, it cut down on the space of the trigger and works fine. There's just one thing though..and maybe its just me for some reason, but when viewing in WE i saw this..

Code: Select all

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the Unknown of (Casting unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Blizzard\BlizzardTarget.mdl

Which...would be right instead it says Unknown..now in the game it works fine if i dont do any editing to it, however i wanted to add another unit to test out mui, but that line gave me errors every time i saved the map. In WE, i couldent edit the Unknown part either..it would crash my editor. Hopefully its just my editor screwing up but if not that would be a problem. (Re-downloading a clean copy of the first map it was the same. So idk for sure.) Hopefully you can clarify this for me.

Idk why your editor shows it like that. This is how my editor shows it:

Code: Select all

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the Attach Point - Origin of (Casting unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Blizzard\BlizzardTarget.mdl

I changed "Attach Point - Origin" to "origin", I hope it works now. Oh and I made you a clear version without this effect.

PS: I am using World Editor Unlimited (WEU), maybe your editor is an older version or something
