[IMPLEMENTED][Cosmetics] Time Lock (New SFX!)

chadpiety123 · 06-29-2009, 08:05 AM

Definitely a T-up, nothing else for a simple yet great eyecandy which makes things make much much more sense

L4d-Tank · 06-29-2009, 08:23 AM

Yea thumbs up from me too. I always feels its lame for faceless ability to call time lock when the animation is no diff from a simple bash.

dtnmang · 06-29-2009, 08:34 AM

Good, let's t-up this.

GeorgeIsGreaT · 06-29-2009, 08:41 AM

This should happen in 6.61

Busmumrik · 06-29-2009, 09:39 AM

T-up.

It would make me happy if this got implented.

Whitefang · 06-29-2009, 11:27 AM

Sounds logical. T-Up

fruta · 06-29-2009, 12:32 PM

T-up but it has a bit buff because a paused unit will have all of his command buttons & abilities disappeared for the time being. If i'm a magina running away from void, when he bash me I can't cast blink since I don't have that ability temporarily. if normal bash I can cast it will stunned so after it wears off magina will instantly blink. in pause case you have to cast it after the effect.

maybe remove the bonus damage from bash or decrease chance by 5%

Freaky ugly !

Nah, this doesn't pause the guy. Its the same as bash, it just pauses animation. That's why its just cosmetics

Erm, why? I personally don't find it ugly.
Any suggestions, anyway? Would you like better special effects? I have a WIP of a possible special effect.

Infrisios · 06-29-2009, 01:06 PM

Well, would look a bit like TA's Psi Blades (coding-wise) and you could also bash with a Dagon/Radiance, but only if you initiated an attack before...so it SHOULD be fine.

I believe its possible to determine whether it was a hero attack through checking if the damage dealt is hero damage and such. Dagon/Radiance isn't hero damage correct?
Also, I think TA's Psi Blades only work that way because its a hardcoded ability.

Note that paused units iirc malfunct with several spells and transformation spells with timers such as Metamorphosis will be paused for the duration of the pause.

Like I said in before, this doesn't actually pause the unit, just the animation.
I don't think even Faceless Void would be powerful enough to completely trap a unit in time while attacking at 2 attacks a second.
But it doesn't really matter if it actually pauses, that can be changed easily. I'm sad that Icefrog hasn't said anything about this yet

EDIT: Thought about something. If you paused someone during Viper Strike, it goes on throughout the duration of the pause. That duration is not counted as part of the spell duration, that could be troublesome.
So, guys, wanna vote on whether to pause? Personally, I'll say no. It could be imbalanced (Perma Viper Strike and other buff spells, not sure about Blademill though)

Zack1996 · 07-02-2009, 12:30 PM

A little bump

Any suggestions for the effects on the enemy?

One here for the OP. Good luck!

Both wrong.
You can not determine the type of damage in any way.
So if you attack someone who uses BKB while you have radiance and another enemy is close enough to be hit by radiance, he might be stunned.
TA's Psi Blades are DEFINITELY not hardcoded!

AduhAwas · 07-05-2009, 09:44 AM

Looks great but if theres the off chance that it will mess with other spells, we might wanna steer clear =D

Broodmother · 07-05-2009, 09:53 AM
