DotA Assault

This is a map me and Sniper came up with a while ago. It's basically like Eve of The Apocalypse, only all the heroes are based off of clan members, like me, Dark, Sniper, and such. Post all your hero information, such as model, soundset, 12 abilities (three of them you learn as you level up including ultimate), and the rest you pay cash for, a name for a spell-book like thing (Ex. Mine is Bag 'o Tricks), and any suggestions you have for us. Also, a hero type would be appreciated. (Ex. Mine is "Myre the level 1 Lunatic.) DotA player's attack the fortress of Clan BFaC, where we defend ourselves using everything we've got against hordes of angry ten year olds. DotA Assault is not the final name of the map, I just had no idea what to call it.

In short, I need 9 abilities for your spell book, 2 you level up as you progress, and your ultimate, a model, a soundset, hero title, spell-book name, and suggestions. The 9 abilities will probably not be leveled up, but just a one-time purchase.

Killer2c The Dark Templar

Skills:

1.Martyrdom: The Dark Templar sacrifices a fountain of their own blood and infuses their brethren with unnatural regeneration for a brief time.

2.Drain life: This blood rite enables the Dark Templar to absorb blood spilled by them in battle. A fraction of the damage the caster inflicts will be converted into instant healing. (duuuh)

3.Aura of Infusion: It grants the caster and any of their company a chance of recovering health when attacked.

4.Covenant of pestilence: This is a foul promise to spread misery and disease. Attacks against the templar have a chance of triggering a burst of poison damage on enemies nearby. The templar's movement is mildly restricted as they suffer wracking coughs.

5.Pestilential Body: Summons a poisonous gas that damages enemies in the vicinity, but will also restrict the Dark Templar’s movement.

6.Ritual of Blood: Sacrifices Xhp(not sure how much)% gain 2x X mp(sacrified hp) 

7.Soul Leech: For X seconds, whenever foe casts a spell, you steal M to N Health from that foe. (only if you are going to add heroes in the dota forces)

8.Pain Rush: sacrifice X% hp gains + Y% atack speed and movement speed

9.???

Ultimate:Psionic Absorption: absorbs some mana around him or from his target to restore some lost energies and converts some to Psionic energy. Whenever Kiler2c attacks, he regains mana depending on his maximum mana. Note that he regains depending on his maximum mana not from the target's mana, from his current mana or from his damage. Regain mana is 1%,2%,3% etc

Soundset: I think apropiate one is demon hunter

Have Fun Reading!

~Killer2c

Killer, if you want me to, I can make a Dark Templar soundset for you. But it'll take time and it will be one of the last things I do. Also, I need to know which two abilities you'd like to be able to level up as your hero advances. 8 spells are fine. I do need to know what your spell-book ability will be called. For now I'll just call it 'Psionic Powers'. Also, are you saying that you want to use health as well as mana to cast your spells?

okay, you can make the sound set,but as you said,make it as a low priority thing, and, well the hp sacrifice makes you lose life, but also, the effects have to be conisderable with the sacrifice.Hmmm, how about spell #3 and #2?

At first I was like "wtf is this no way" but then I realized what it really was, lol.

I'll add my hero later, promise.

Yeah, when I saw this, I thought: "Wtf, Dota #2?"

And I'll Edit this post with my hero when I finish.

I'll add mine too, later, thanks myre, now I finally have something to kill my time...

can we get a project color for This?

Myre if it aint to much trouble killer found this model
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=61146&prev=search%3Ddwarf%2520rifleman%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20#poststop
Unless its to much trouble to redo the spells it dont matter. im just saying if its easy

Mooo-Gunsniper, The Tauren Druid

Model

Whitemane Druid

Soundset: Cairne

Abilities
Ability Name: Spiritual Codex

Leveled - Brute Strength - Being in so many battles, the druid has had to withstand physical attacks. Each level increases the strength stat, health, and health regeneration.

Leveled - Spiritual Training - The druid's mind has grown and learned many things after years of training and tutoring. Every level increases the intelligence stat, mana, and mana regeneration.

Mend - (Just another name for the Heal Ability)

Mighty Swing - Having such a large axe, the druid can slash more than one target.

Ethereal Form - The Druid phases into the spirit world, and appears as an ethereal being. Allowing him to shift in and out of battle. In this form, the druid cannot attack or cast spells, but at the same time, as long as he is in his spiritual form, he will gradually start losing mana. Once the druid is siphoned of all his mana, he is forced back into the real world.

Rejuvenating Link - Links several units in a bond, gradually regenerating both mana and health for all allies effected by this spell.

Forest Barrier - When used on this hero, it creates a layer of trees around the druid to put him out of reach from melee units. Otherwise, when used on an empty space, it creates a wall of trees. Cannot be used on other units and spawned trees disappear after a short time.

Holy Surge - An AoE spell that heals all allied living units by 100, but damages all enemy undead units for half. Every level increases the amount healed/damaged by 50.

Summon Elemental - Opens up a selection of spawns to choose from. Spawns disappear after a while.
Water Elemental - Basic, well-rounded unit that can go through trees and units. (Best for ambushing) [Very Short Ranged]
Wind Elemental - Fast, flies, very weak attack and health. Invisible as long as it stays still. (Best for scouting) [Short Ranged]
Earth Elemental - Large, slow, lots of health and defense. Has rock skin and hardened skin. (Best for tanking) [Melee]
Fire Elemental - Good damage and range, but low health. Attacks splash and it sets them ablaze. (Best for support) [Ranged]

Regeneration Aura - Increases both health and mana regeneration.

Force Blast - An AoE blast is launched at an enemy unit. Any enemies killed by this spell will be converted into mana for the druid.

Ultimate - Wrath - The Druid channels all his energy into the air, sending powerful lightning bolts down upon all enemies in a large range around the caster. Powerful, but it completely drains the druid of his energy, temporarily disabling him.

Dude, that name is really bad. Not only is Dota a bad game, you'll make people think it is a new stolen version from it.
I suggest the names:

"BFAC's Fortress Defense/Survival"
"BFAC's Final Stand/Assault"

Also this map has potential. With players on both sides you could by squads or waves to make the final attacks.

Finally, you had a great idea asking people for their heroes. Although this will save you from the trouble of creating the spells and thinking on them, you are also not starting with the right foot - it is a common mistake for beginners to start a map searching for models. This is bad, once the map evolves you will soon want to get rid of models and icon imports so you can have enough memory to add a good terrain and good codes and systems. Be aware of such, I talk by self experience.

Anyway, good to know this has a chance. Btw, if darkwukv approves this b4 CCFE, I will kill him =P
Question can I have a hero too ? =P

This isnt gonna be a huge project. its more of a clan game. And if dota players/narutards start joining. Im troll enough to tell them off.
Edit:Btw phoenix Its not a attack/defend type game. It a Survival game. You defend your self from massive waves of attackers.

Of course you can have a hero. Anyone on the forums can.

SERIOUS NEWS EDIT!!!!!

I will only be using WC3 models for now until everything falls into place and the map is working well. Until then, normal models will be used on all your heroes. I will be using map optimization and such to make the map file-size smaller, so there is still a pretty good chance of your models being used.

I chose my model for the hero partly because it has a low file size. Read the review on the bottom of the very first post. (And it's nice looking, lol)

"The low file size is a big plus"

Lol myre got a very quick beta going. Its funny as hell
Come on dark give us a project color?

Hmmm standard models? I guess it will be avatar of vengeance then

This isnt gonna be a huge project.

All good projects are huge, trust me again I have experience.

Of course you can have a hero. Anyone on the forums can.

Well, does the map accept vJASS ? because is it does I can trigger my own spells =P

I will only be using WC3 models for now until everything falls into
place and the map is working well. Until then, normal models will be
used on all your heroes.

A good decision in my view. You should now focus on making terrain and looking for code systems to sustain your map.
Some systems obligatory in good maps:
- Damage Detection system
- KnockBack system
- Timer Recycling system

Some other systems you may want to consider:
- Group recycling system (outdated now)
- Unit recycling system (only if you want)

I can give help choosing systems if you want.
Finally to choose hero, I advise a hero choose system. Not a crappy tavern like in dota, but instead an Icon system or a 3d Hero selection system.

What about a hero that flies ?? (when I say fly, I mean flying, not standing on ground hovering around like in stupid dota...) Ofc flying would be an ultimate ability.

I'll be using something similar to a hero tavern until I can get all the heroes established. A knockback system is needed for Fluffy's abilities, which I cannot code. I MAY accept VJass, but you will have to do it yourself because I'm not good at it. There might be a hero that flies, it all depends on what people ask for. What do you mean by Group, Unit, and Timer recycling? And what would the damage detection system do?

If people want, I may make it so a hero is chosen corresponding to their name, or a pop-up menu will appear for choosing heroes, but for now I'll stick with the lame tavern method.

Progress Report: Moos Hero has some abilities. (i think we havent tested him yet more on that later)
Fluffys hero has abilitys
My Hero has abilitys
Myres hero has abilitys
A small fort is up with spawning units.
Two fountains.
A tavern
A map made With human vs orc spawn to fool around with.
waygates instead of ramps
Moos hero
triple range for my hero





To do list: Add 30 damage to my hero
Nerf moos attack speed
Have gold finish killers hero
Force dark to make this a project
Make bigs his hero XD

The squads idea is now official. Each hero will have their own squad of units they can purchase.

Heroes will benefit their corresponding squads by granting them an ability they can use to help the war effort.

You can purchase any squad, but you will only be able to use YOUR squad's abilities.

The fortress will be expanded to about thrice it's current size. Three mortar emplacements will defend it, as well as provide crowd control so the map doesn't get too laggy.

On the topic of lag, different spawn rates will be selectable by vote.

To provide variety, there will be a computer you can access the forums with to get missions. The computer can also be used to purchase map-wide buffs, order ion cannon strikes, satellite imagery, and other things like that. For a price.

A knockback system is needed for Fluffy's abilities, which I cannot code. I MAY accept VJass, but you will have to do it yourself because I'm not good at it.

In order to import the best and most recent systems you will be forced to use vJASS.Because you can't code vJASS I assume this will be made with newb GUI.I offer my help to make any vJASS spells you may need.

There might be a hero that flies, it all depends on what people ask for

Since it would be my hero, I would like to make him fly =P

What do you mean by Group, Unit, and Timer recycling? And what would the damage detection system do?

Everytime you use a group, you can recicle it, and same with timers and units. This will give your map a huge boost in effiency because you won't need to be creating timers and groups and units all the time, you can merely resuse them.The damage detection system would allow you to make shield abilities and onDamage abilities. This means you would be able to code your own Critical Strike or your version of Evasion. I strongly recomend using a damage system as it is a great boost in the freedom you will have to create spells.

The squads idea is now official. Each hero will have their own squad of units they can purchase.

TO make a sqaud system I strongly recomend vJASS.

any pic of the work?or report of work?

Because you can't code vJASS I assume this will be made with newb GUI.I offer my help to make any vJASS spells you may need.

Wow, great way to be a butt. Just because it's not in Vexorian-esque vJASS doesn't mean that it's in "newb GUI".

And personally, I think I should be in charge of what code does and does not go into this project. Too many maps are overloaded with 500000 vJASS systems for the sole purpose of them being "high tech". I could code this entire thing using only the basics of vJASS and it would be just as good as it would had I used epic vJASS.

Everytime you use a group, you can recicle it, and same with timers and
units. This will give your map a huge boost in effiency because you
won't need to be creating timers and groups and units all the time, you
can merely resuse them.

This is an unnecessary addition for spells that do not require a large flux of timers. It'd be a waste of code and effort to use timer recycling when timers are hardly used.
