[ADDED]-[Aghanims] Agha-Effect for Faceless Void

Infrisios · 01-31-2010, 10:35 PM

Hey guys,
I was bored and created an Aghanims effect for Faceless Void.

The testmap contains two versions, first a static one and then a slightly pulsing one (still thinking about the pulsing, did not put much work in it so if you look close it'll look a bit weird).

Just T-Ups and T-Downs won't help, I'd prefer if you give a full comment.
Also, this is not a static suggestion. I will read what you write and I'll try to improve the effect based on your comments.

The MSI is 2kb - nothing to cry about ;-)

Edit:
Update: I adapted the shape of the mace a bit, now it has good positioning.
Also put the ES effect there, you can comment on it but it is not part on the suggestion.
Update 2: Added a particle emitter to the club's head to make the effect more flashy.
Update 3: Added a brighter version, also with an adapted particle emitter.

Hardly visible. Otherwise, it looks neat.

Black.Lotus · 01-31-2010, 10:53 PM

Awesome!! T-UP!!

Zangetsu2201 · 01-31-2010, 11:24 PM

Simple but good, T-up for this.

Sustanon_250 · 01-31-2010, 11:28 PM

yes it's a bit hardly visible but awesome idea
looks so cool!

Quiesce · 01-31-2010, 11:33 PM

If it trailed a little, that would be cool

Null for now

It's nice of you that you ask the comunity.
Why don't you just force this awesome suggestion into the game? D:

I'd suggest attaching hammer to 'weapon' and the handle to 'hand,left' and see how it turns out. Why? To avoid this:

Also, it's not really that epic. Ribbons and emitters! \:3/

Suggest the Aghanim effect for Earthshaker nao!

I actually talked to Ice and the betateam before posting here, but I think improving it with the community's help can't hurt.
I can't simply force FX into the game, even though I usually skip the public suggestions part

Graupel: How do you think the trail should look like and where should it be?
The only good thing I can think of is making the head of the club leave a trail.

Sustanon_250, CrYn00b: Well, it does not shine too much, but I think it's enough.
I gonna check whether I can do a stronger version without changing the color too much.

Thanks for the feedback!

Edit, @Cáno's edit:
Well, if I make it pulse I need to have only a single attachment - else it might look really weird.
It is not easy to adapt the shape perfectly, but I am actually on it.
Might try that later, but to avoid overlapping I'd have to remove the handle part.

I am not yet happy with the ES effect, so I am thinking of other concepts and/or improvements.

Cáno · 02-01-2010, 12:13 AM

Ok, now this is pure win:

What I mean is to make the handle and the hammer pulse independently. Well, not really. I hope you get what I mean. o.o

Edit: Try attaching ES's effect to Void. :P

Yeah, I got that.
But as I said the problem is the overlapping of both parts if they pulse independently, so in that case I might remove the middle part. Or am I wrong there?
Best thing might be to make the cut somewhere on his "hand" so you can't see it.

Yeah, make it a time-like mace.

But, aside from this

Well, saying that you like it is not bad, that's right.
However, constructive comments telling me what I can improve are perfect.
