Very nice !
Just one thing.. the sound when it hurt target, put a sound from combat folder, like MetalHeavySliceFlesh1.wav or something like that.

You are storing all kinds of data that you don't even need, recalculating a ton of data you could simply derive once and store in a variable, using a bunch of locations for no reason, leaking in several places, etc. You did a great job with the math, but the rest of it is horrible.

I am working on a similar spell

just a thought... I have come across this in my previous spells, the SPELL ID in the object editor, where it shows wut casts wut, in a sense... hard to explain, but anyways, its like "SPELL ID - Turn on/use, SPELL ID - Turn off, SPELL ID - autocast" or something like that... The last time I did this, there was the command "Attack" in it, and every time i attacked, it casted the spell, so maybe if this works, have it be on attack, and have no cooldown, or wutever works, and see if he'll do it when he attacks, if not, i failed.... 5/5 on this spell, theres not enough tree-cutters, or dual boomerang spells either, this is two birds with one stone, great!

As for the spider attack idea, you could use that to create the look of this spell. All you wold need to do is have the spider attack target an invisable unit, and using accurate waits, keep moving the invisable unit into the appropriate positions so the spider missile will immitate the path, and then stop the invisable unit after either loop, being lined up with the caster, and let the projectile hit him, and then the axe will return. It won't do damage, but that is how you could immitate this with spider attack. That would be too difficult either way though so, just forget it...

Cehn Kagres

2004-10-18

that's another thing... why doesn't spider attack flatten out the regular missle like all the other ones?

augzodia

2004-10-18

Just one problem; if you use axethrow, and it goes of the edge of the map it does not return, and axey is permenantly paused.
great otherwise

5/5

The Spider attack ability is so cool, however, you can't do what you're thinking of, unfortunatly. The spider attack projectile only emits a single projectile in a straight line, doesn't hit things in its path, STICKS the projectile to 0 fly height, and comes back after it hits the target, and only a target. So you can't cast at a point, and the thing won't arc, etc etc...

Mad_Panda

2004-10-16

Now that I think of it... couldn't you used the spider attack ability, and some how tweak it so damage is done to units in a line? That way the missle returns to it's owner?

Why didnt you try to add this spell?

It's not hard!

What a good spell, ^^ I 'm thinking for my new Hero in my map! Thanks Darky28 much

diescha

2004-10-15

@darky u didnt answer my question:
darky can u make this spell in my map pls
because its a bit 2 much difficult for me so pls answer me

Kojiro

2004-10-15

Well, I don't like the fact that it pauses him, but the new animation looks nice, if a little lifeless. And btw, Ark, I was the one who suggested a boomerang as a basic attack... I just now tried it as an orb ability, didn't work, unfortunatly, so I guess I'll just have to try to make my own boomerang attack from scratch since I can't make heads from tails with JASS.

The only gripe I have about the spell is still, not checking to damage spell immune units, like the golem. And the fact that if your target is standing in the right place, the axes will miss him completely. Besides that, nice work.

Arksword(sv)

2004-10-15

Perfect! I like the new animation, and it is good that it pauses him. Sweet job. I dunno if you took my advice for the new animation or not but it is beautiful

. Somebody said it would be cool if it was an attack. That would be easy enough. Just use the Orb of Lightning ability thing and change the casted ability to the double axes ability, and the triggers will take care of the rest. That WOULD make a sweet normal attack. The only thing left that I don't like is the effects it makes on contact with units, but I guess I'm the only person who thinks that so 5/5 easily.

Not sure if you noticed but the axes only return to the point where they were casted, maybe if you can get them to move back to the rager no matter where he is, then it will be perfect.

2004-10-14

ah k yes its fixed

diescha

2004-10-14

if i now dl it new its fixed right?

2004-10-14

The 1 axe turn around 1-2 more rounds bug is fixed.
Now it also has the correct hotkey and axey got a damn nice new axethrow animation, made by alfred_sotn

diescha

2004-10-14

found a bug i dont know why but thats the story:

i used the boomergang skill then 1 bumerang was normal and 1 was moving around me all the time i played pls fix!

but great 5/5

n1 darky

Kojiro

2004-10-14

Nice job. Theres a few things though, but this is only a test map, so it REALLY doesn't matter. The hotkey is W instead of B. And if you click on an enemy spell immune unit, the spell won't fire, however, the axes still deal damage to it. It being the golem. Other than that, its a BEAUTIFUL spell. Really nice. Now... why don't you see if you can rig me up one that does that for each regular attack. Heh, wouldn't that be nice. 5/5

leissaK

2004-10-13

YES! Finally!!! A boomerang!!! I wuv you darky!

Konblade

2004-10-13

Aww... Darky28 didn't use my axe.

Vini

2004-10-13

I found something strange..Sometimes when you throw it,1 of the axe dont come back she just turn around and nowhere and rotating on herself its happen 5% if the times

Metabee

2004-10-13

This is great, and what's that tree thing, you mean it can cut trees?

Arksword(sv)

2004-10-13

Cool spell, only he needs a better animation for throwing them, and when the axe hits an enemy, I'm not too fond of the cloud of smoke. Blood, or even the disenchant sfx look good for collisions like that. As for the animation, either the spell throw would look better, or creating an entirely new animtion where he swings down with both axes, since he is a custom model after all. Good work, 5/5.

Storm_NB

2004-10-13

Now if someone made a model for Zul'Jin (Axethrower Troll hero)... this could come in handy in my map

Awesome work.

Dread The Undead

2004-10-13

hehe i liked the sketch you did, it make the spell looks realistic GJ
and mad_panda is right, we dont got much tree effecting spells

Mad_Panda

2004-10-13

Good work Darky! We don't have enough tree-effecting spells.
