Well... I've been waiting for about a month or so... and nobody, not even Raven, has tried to make this spell, or help me with it. Now I don't feel like making it with myself, so I'm requesting it.
Bounds Of Life
Description: Sends out strings out to 8 nearby units. Units under the effect have to deal with: Only being able to attack units that come right next to them (aka melee range only), they can't move, and take 3 damage each seconds, the effect lasts 120 sec. If the caster dies, all units struck with string die with him. Heroes under this effect take damage over time, but can still move, can attack at their normal range, but still die if the caster does. Your choice if you want it to be channeled or not.
I might be able to explain it but it requires a horde of conditions. First, you must base it on a channeled skill, let's say starfall. Change it the best you like. Now, you can pick up all the units around the caster matching that belong ot an enemy of casting unit. Now, if picked unit is a hero than you create a dummy near the caster which drains life from him. If it is a normal unit you create a dummy at the position of the caster which Aerial Shackles them but change the Aerial shackles as you like. Now, you must make a secondary trigger which activates if unit finishes casting an ability or unit stops casting an ability and ability being cast equal to your own. You set a boolean variable of your own which is originally false to true. Now, returning to the first trigger. You wait for the condition: Variable equal to true and you remove all the dummy units belonging to the casting unit from the game. That should do it. Unfortunately there are some differences with your spell but I guess it's cool enough. I might do it today and it might work but I'm not sure yet. I'll see what I can do.
EDIT: Good news Tao... I've almost finished your spell. You should see it available today if I can finish it. There seems to be a bug with the channeled stuff, making the bounds remain even when the caster moves. I CAN"T SEEM TO GET IT WHY!!!! Argh...
EDIT2: Heh, the spell is done now. Check my String Spells and you will see it among them (actually there are only two spells in the map between which one sucks... lol).
Daelin you are the pwnage. Thank you for making the spell I've always wanted. I have another request, but it's different. Would you request me a spell? I want to try and make a spell.
Heh... Thanks Tao. As I said, I will try to improve it even more because I couldn't do it exactly like you requested. It was a little difficult to get the complete idea how to do it so it took me 1 hour to do it on my Pentium 2 at 533 Mhz. I wish I had a better PC...
Anyway, you want me to give you something as a request? I now do the spells on myself but I see that you are in need of an idea. Ok... Whirlwind. It should make the Blademaster start the Bladestorm animation and after 1 second turn into a tornado. I won't tell you what do base it on or if to use triggers or not. It's a little challenge, not very hard to make. Good luck!
