Or you can use different actors that reference the same model?

The problem is that they can't have the same-looking model, not that they can't think of a way to have two units with the same or similar model.

That's my only problem. If someone was playing as the Elemental Archon (my hero) and someone else was playing as Deo (ImagoDeo's hero), and if the latter of these two used his ulti. There would effectively be 2 archons with maybe, slightly different tinting going around.

oh good point

I should have thought of that...

I'm thinking of copying the Invokers sort of orb effect that he has in DotA...

Having a Fire Medium, some protoss-warpin (Ice) and maybe some Fungal Growth (earth) models, rotating around him all the time

Both the arenas look nice.

My skill progress has been pretty slow. I'm going to try to work on it with the time I have left tomorrow (If I have time), but definitely on Sunday.

Just curious, who is actually working on making this map?

Hrrm. Yeah, I guess I could switch to some other model... I'll look into things.

Everyone is supposed to make their own hero and submit it.

You don't just post what your hero is like and then honestly expect us to make it for you?

I did at first but now I'm trying to figure out how to do it

But honestly I have no idea what I'm doing.

Right, basically anyone can work on this ultimately. I'm just compiling any arena suggestions or completed heroes onto one map.


Abilities are not that difficult if you see them as a chain reaction. One effect triggers another that can trigger another, and so on.

For example, your Riftwalk ability when used will theoretically trigger a "Teleport" effect. When the "Teleport" effect is done, it will trigger a "Search" effect. The "Search" effect will simultaneously trigger a "Damage" effect in an area, and an "Apply Behavior" effect in the same area. The "Damage" effect will simply deal the 30-50 damage. The "Apply Behavior" effect will put a "Behavior" on the enemies in the area that slows them.

For the "Blades of the Void" spell, you would have an "Apply Behavior" effect that increases attack speed and either lower enemy armor or give the hero a new version of the hero's existing weapon that will ignore armor for that duration. To have abilities cast near the hero increase the time, that would require triggers.

For "Æther Strike," you can either use an "Apply Behavior" effect to increase damage done by a percentage (though I think this can only be time based) or to switch the weapon with a clone that deals 3x the damage and gets removed after one shot (I'm sure there's a way to do this, I'm just thinking about this without the editor loaded in front of me).

"Terror of the Abyss" is relatively simple. You would use an "Apply Behavior" effect to increase health, increase the amount of damage taken, and change the weapon to a ranged weapon for 8 seconds. I'm not sure how to make a unit cloaked without being cloaked (as I don't think there is a model to replace the unit with), unless the other heroes are detectors, but that may cause more problems.

Hope that helps.

/me waits patiently in the background for Payne to jump in saying "check out our amazing wiki resources"...

check out our amazing wiki resources

Never disappointed. Lulz.

On another note, my char is coming along reasonably well...

I don't know if you've read a few posts above, but unfortunately Cardinal is already using the Archon model (and his hero changes the tint of the model as well). Could you perhaps use a Stone Zealot or Hybrid Destroyer for the ult?

Devlin, you've messed the code in your OP where Lotus' heroes is.

Also, I'll use Prisoner Zealot, and not the Probe, in the end.

Actually I didn't mess up the code. I have no idea why the color tag is doing that.


Works here.

My l4 should make it evident that it is active... maybe some sort of electrical trail from each active player who has it?...

It could slow down players when maxed out?

Reiterated.

*psst*, make him a probe

a zealot with guns is kinda weird..
