lol... i have an idea, its so simple. i do everything like before, but instead of using the vespin barrel pick up ability, i give the ball (which is a unit not a projectile) this periodic behavior.
@DrSuperEvil: Go yeah it´s called "ball behavior" :-)
hm i read that in another thread with the periodic search, but i know nothing about projectiles. is it possible to create a projectile to not hit the ground and kill itself? oh and that it stops at the desired position and stays there until someone touches it?
hi, sorry the intro is a bit long.
i want to create a ball. well i already did... but i have 1 problem.
Intro:
if you touch the ball, you become the ball carrier. you lose the ball if you kick the ball(Ability) or if you die. so there is no "real" ball if a units has the ball.
i did this with an empty ability and a create unit trigger and issue order to move to position of issued order (the kick ball ability). this works fine, the ball moves to the clicked position.
for taking the ball, my ball acts like this vespin barrels from the campaign (i only modified it), so if a unit touches it, it disappears (this is actually an auto cast ability of the vespin barrel) and triggers a triggers to mark the carrier of the ball and enable the kick ability (actually applying a behavior which enables the ability could be even better).
Problem:
everything works fine , except 1 important thing: You cannot block. this means if you stand in the line the ball flies, you do not become the new carrier. the ball continues flying until it stops at the desired position. on the other hand, if a unit stands on the desired postion, it becomes the new carrier. this pretty sucks, i think the problem is that the auto cast ability autocasts only when the unit does not move/gets other orders.
Question:
is there something in the ability editor tab where i can enable the ability to be cast while moving?
i´v heard that there is another posibility for a ball with projectiles. how does this work? i´m not very good with projectiles...
thx blizzard... for this... and for adding bookmarks before :)
edit: i dont understand that. in the case of minerals, which had 6000 hours played yesterday. and now its 5 hours, wtf? and there are maps i never heard, and they are played 6000 hours now...
hi,
there is one big problem and i don´t know how to fix that. When the caster casts a spell and you click on the ability button again while he is casting, then he gets stucks until the cooldown is done. most of my spells have a uninteruptable cast time of about a second, so they can´t move and the animation is not canceled.
- summoned units mostly die (because of the time) and you can summon fresh ones at the beginning of the new wave
so there is the problem that if i skip wating time and do life/energy to 100% and finish cooldowns, you still have the summoned units, but no cooldown on the ability, so you can spawn more...

hey, i just want to ask, how others handle this as i´v never been thinking about this before.
if i want to release a map on another server, i will need someone to do this for me, right?
but what else would you do, maybe promoting the map as its popular in EU, but completly unknown in US?
What else can i do?

@b0ne123: Go
the question is, where . there is the leadboard with points, the leaderboards with kills...

@Shad0wsEdge: Go
this is a really good question ...
hm... a indicator trigger would be useful., the question is where do i put it. maybe i can do:
Press ESC to skip waiting time (0) Press ESC to skip waiting time (1) ...
0
@Mozared: Go
well i thought about that too.
what do you do at the waiting time: - you heal
- you regenerate mana
- you attack the item to increase the item factor
- your abilities finish their cooldowns
- summoned units mostly die (because of the time) and you can summon fresh ones at the beginning of the new wave
so there is the problem that if i skip wating time and do life/energy to 100% and finish cooldowns, you still have the summoned units, but no cooldown on the ability, so you can spawn more...
