Things look slightly better with textures

But only slightly

from Demigod Forums

So after trying for a whole day trying to get "riggingproblem" to work I simply gave up and got a older demigod protype texture and placed it in. He's got attack animation, death animation and some ability animation. 

So now I just need to do any abilties. 

Which are as follows according to FrogBoy.

 

 

Demigod 1:  Humanoid Monk (Assassin)

Melee with a pole.  (I tried and could find no Mo-cap to fight with a pole so he's going to fight with hands and fist LIKE MONKS ARE SUPPOSED TO... at least in D&D, Diablo and Never Winter Nights.) I could find sword and axes and sledge hammer but no Bo Staff in a good cost range.

Power 1: Totems that increase damage done to enemy units in area by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%

Power 2: Totems that increase the experience received from killing enemy units by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%

Power 3: Distract (instant interrupt on targeted enemy unit)

Power 4: Whirlwind: Spins around doing an area damage effect to enemy units

Skill Tree Path: Looting: Gets 20%, 30%, 40% more from killing enemy units.

Skill Tree path: Dodge: Gets a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% chance to dodge.

??? Need one more ability. Any suggestions. Currently I think turning invisible after not moving  and not taking damage for 10-8-6 might be fun. This ability is dispelled if he takes damage, moves or uses a item. 

 

Ability 1 and Ability 2 don't sound that hard. It's simply Spawn a Totem (Or ward as Oak called them.) One which continually applies a debuff to the enemy which should be something like. 

 

Code: c++
  3.     Buffs = {
  5.       BuffBlueprint {
  7.             Name = ''HMonkDamageTotem01'',
  9.             Debuff = true,
  11.             CanBeDispelled = false,
  13.             DisplayName = '<LOC ABILITY_HMonk_0001>Damage Totem',
  15.             Description = '<LOC ABILITY_HMonk_0101>All damage taken increased.',
  17.             BuffType = 'HMONKDAMAGETOTEM',
  19.             Stacks = 'REPLACE',
  21.             Duration = 1,
  23.             Affects = {
  25.                 DamageTakenMult = {Add = 0.10}
  27.             },
  29.             Effects = 'DamagePlus',
  31.             EffectsBone = -2,
  33.             Icon = '/DGMonk/HMonkDamageTotem01',
  35.         },

 

 

And the other should be

Code: c++
  3.  
  5.     Buffs = {
  7.       BuffBlueprint {
  9.             Name = ''HMonkExperienceTotem01'',
  11.             Debuff = false,
  13.             CanBeDispelled = false,
  15.             DisplayName = '<LOC ABILITY_HMonk_0002>Experience Totem',
  17.             Description = '<LOC ABILITY_HMonk_0102>All Experience Increase.',
  19.             BuffType = 'HMONKEXPERIENCETOTEM',
  21.             Stacks = 'REPLACE',
  23.             Duration = 1,
  25.             Affects = {
  27.                 Experience = {Add = 0.1}
  29.             },
  31.             Effects = 'ExperiencePlus',
  33.             EffectsBone = -2,
  35.             Icon = '/DGMonk/HMonkExperienceTotem01',
  37.         },

 

 

Distract... I really think is pretty blah as it's sort of pounce with out damage. And I'm not sure how to scale interupting (The ability is interupted twice as much this time.) I think the idea of this demigod is no burst damage high stats (He has good battle field control and the best leveling and equipment so to counter act that he has no burst damage at all.) Currently I'm thinking of distract increasing the mana cost of further spells. This makes him a excellent Erebus and Sedna counter.

 

Code: c++
  1. AbilityBlueprint {
  3.     Name = 'HMonkDistract',
  5.     DisplayName = '<LOC ABILITY_HMonk_0003>Distract I',
  7.     Description = '<LOC ABILITY_HOak_0103>Monk distract a target. Countering abilities and increase mana cost for other abilities. 
  9.     AbilityType = 'TargetedUnit',
  11.     TargetAlliance = 'Enemy',
  13.     TargetCategory = 'MOBILE - UNTARGETABLE',
  15.     TargetingMethod = 'HOSTILEMOBILE',
  17.     EnergyCost = 450,
  19.     RangeMax = 20,
  21.     Cooldown = 7,
  23.     CastingTime = 0.1,
  25.     FollowThroughTime = 0.7,
  27.     CastAction = 'Distract',
  29.     UISlot = 2,
  31.     HotKey = '2',
  33.     GetBuffDuration = function(self) return Buffs[self.Name].Duration end,
  35.     Buffs = {
  37.         BuffBlueprint {
  39.             Name = 'HMonkDistract01',
  41.             Debuff = true,
  43.             CanBeDispelled = true,
  45.             DisplayName = '<LOC ABILITY_HMonk_0003>Distract',
  47.             Description = '<LOC ABILITY_HMonk_0103>Mana cost increased.',
  49.             BuffType = 'HMONKDISTRACT',
  51.             Stacks = 'REPLACE',
  53.             Duration = 7,
  55.             Affects = {
  57.                 SpellCostMult = {Mult = 2.0},
  59.                 },
  61.             Icon = '/DGOak/HMonkDistract01',
  63.         },
  65.         BuffBlueprint {
  67.             Name = 'HMonkDistractInterrupt01',
  69.             Debuff = true,
  71.             CanBeDispelled = true,
  73.             DisplayName = '<LOC ABILITY_HMonk_0004>Distract I',
  75.             Description = '<LOC ABILITY_HMonk_0104>Interrupted',
  77.             BuffType = 'HMONKDISTRACTSTUN',
  79.             Stacks = 'REPLACE',
  81.             Duration = 0.1,
  83.             Affects = {
  85.                 Interrupt = {Add = 0},
  87.             },
  89.         },
  91.     },
  93.     Icon = '/DGOak/HMonkDistract01',
  95.  
  97. }

 

 

For ability 4 I have no idea what he should do exactly. Any suggestion would be great. Also if someone could check my code that would be great as I can't program at all. That code is copy and pasted with variables changed.

Someone once tried to tell Chuck Norris that roundhouse kicks aren't the best way to kick someone. This has been recorded by historians as the worst mistake anyone has ever made.

 

Power 1: Totems that increase damage done to enemy units in area by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%

40% is very likely too good. 5%,10%,15%,20% or 25% max.

 

Skill Tree path: Dodge: Gets a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% chance to dodge.

Tthere is a evade cap at 30%... just for your information. So 40% would be pointless. Also it would be way to good.

I'm still being impressed.

ntropy this is totally not meant to be argumentative but the Totem ability is actually pretty blah when compared to other abilities.  For example Pentience as this chart show below is a much more useful spell even if it didn't interupt and slow. If Oak is able to Spam Penitence then the enemy demigod has to be taking 3400 points of damage every 7 seconds for the totem to be the more useful spell. Obviously as the Totem has a area of effect ability and is continous as long as the demigod is in the area that improves it's useful. But at the same time it's completely useless against fleeing demigods. I see it more as a battlefield control ability, it pairs extremly well with say a Tower Farm or when placed into a big group of grunts.

As for the evasion your right. I will look at the demon and assasin and base it on that

The Demon has 5% as a base. So I'm saying 5%-10%-15%.

Quoting ntropy, reply 3

Skill Tree path: Dodge: Gets a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% chance to dodge.

There is a evade cap at 30%... just for your information. So 40% would be pointless. Also it would be way to good.

Thats been changed now

I reckon giving him this ability

Gods Judgement: Cast a spell on your opponent that does 250,500,750,1000 damage After 4 seconds pass

And I reckon Distract should be a ranged stun move as well as an interrupt

Finally. Give him a bowlcut, a gold crucifix and a robe :thumbsup:

Well instantly I see:

            Icon = '/DGOak/HMonkDistract01',

Twice, and:

Description = '<LOC ABILITY_HOak_0103>

You should come on the IRC man, could of probably had him all coded in by now if you came and let us know. >:
