[IMPLEMENTED] Unit training animation on raxes

doomcraft · 08-10-2009, 08:59 AM

(I have tried searching for this in this forum - if it is a duplicate please close/delete it)

(This is ripped from my Potential'ed topic in the old DA forums here and since it is inactive since 2008 I figured I'll post it here instead)

---

The unit-producing buildings (Crypt, Temple of the Damned, Ancient of Lore and Ancient of War) in the game appear inactive even though creeps still spawn. To make the game look more realistic, lifelike, maybe we can have the unit-production buildings play their "training" animation 15 5 seconds before each creepwave spawn.

SENTINEL
Ancient of War and Ancient of Lore

SCOURGE
Crypt and Temple of the Damned

The animations are the default unit-training animations of those models (a common sight in WC3 ladder), so there is no mapsize increase.

As for units mysteriously popping up after raxes are destroyed, it has always been that way =)

Maybe 15 seconds too much? Maybe something like 5.

king_james · 08-10-2009, 09:52 AM

I agree with Cp6uja, 15 seconds is too much. 5 seconds is enough though.

T-up. Makes DotA's creep spawning a little more believable.

doomcraft · 08-10-2009, 09:59 AM

okay, changed to 5 seconds.

noerK · 08-10-2009, 10:04 AM

t-up

Zack1996 · 08-10-2009, 11:02 AM

T-Up. Realistic it is, good it is xD

Infrisios · 08-10-2009, 11:07 AM

Clear T-Up, some atmosphere stuff is always awesome ;-)

Rubn · 08-10-2009, 12:02 PM

t-up looks nice

Super-sheep · 08-10-2009, 12:04 PM

Or how about to make them loop forever? :/

I don't think so... with 5 secs you would know when creeps are coming exactly, while raiding opponent's base, etc...

I like the idea!

dresmasher · 08-10-2009, 12:21 PM

T-up for obvious reasons

AXN · 08-10-2009, 01:15 PM

Sure why not? I like how it looks like in-game. T-Up here!

Ro W · 08-10-2009, 02:34 PM

Couldn't agree more. Definitely T-up.

Kuratz · 08-10-2009, 02:52 PM

although it's clear as a day that we all agree with this I'll give a T-up too just in case

[EA]Zero · 08-10-2009, 03:10 PM

Eh... free t-up.

NoThlnG · 08-10-2009, 03:19 PM

Make sense. T-Up

KenpachiSlardar · 08-10-2009, 03:38 PM

HappyCat · 08-10-2009, 03:55 PM

t-up, this benefits the lore more

WrathoftheLamb · 08-10-2009, 04:09 PM

Awesome! T-Up
