Slice Boss - Code | 50€ Bounty

[Shusama]

Boss: Slice

We have several bosses already implemented which you should feel free to use as inspiration/reference. Also you can reference some other open source custom games on Github which have boss fights including Second Day of Frostivus where you will find our IO boss (designed by Yahnich). Files should follow the structure already established in the components subfolders (such as /abilities/, /boss/, etc).

Bug Bounty Guideline

Original Description

Slice has a melee range attack. He moves quickly and will always chase down whichever hero has the third lowest health pool. He has one ability that he uses in between attacking whenever it is off cooldown.

Ability:
Slice crouches down and puts one hand on his sheathed sword. A shadow comes out in front of him, chasing down the nearest enemy hero. if it hits an enemy hero that hero becomes rooted. it then continues to chase down the next nearest hero. this goes on for 5 seconds. the shadows path stays visible. afterwards Slice does a very fast dash along the shadows path, hitting every hero in his way for significant damage. the shadow disappears as he dashes along it and with it the root.

As he drops in HP the shadow starts moving quicker. 3 stages, each at a ⅓ of hp

1. Lua

Unit AI: He focuses and chases down the hero with the 3rd lowest HP pool. The boss should utilize a thinker in order to attempt to cast spells from a sub-list of his spells but only if they are off cooldown. Finally, AOE spells should perform a calculation to attempt to hit as many units as possible and ranged spells should attempt to hit far away units. If an ability requires special care or treatment this is discussed later under "Abilities".

2. Boss Abilities

Every ability should have a tooltip (Name, Description, KV-entries).

• Boss Resistance: Used by all bosses.
• Cliffwalking: Used by all bosses
• Iaido: Slicer stands still while a shadow (similar to how Specters Dagger works) chases the closest hero. After that hero got hit he gets rooted until the end of the ability. Once a hero gets hit by the shadow it targets the next nearest hero again and so on until there are either no not rooted heroes left within range (1000) or 5 seconds, since the start of the ability, passed. Once this first part of the ability ended Slicer charges along the trail left behind by the shadow, hitting every hero along the way dealing significant damage and purging of the root effect. During the second phase Slice is immune to stuns, slows etc. The speed of the Shadow chasing the heroes depends on 3 phases, every 1/3 of his HP.

4. Model & Animations

Temporary models and animations, as well as particles and sounds are needed for this ticket to be considered completed. You don't have to create anything from scratch, you may reuse anything that already exists in Dota. The base boss model may be used from the pool of existing dota 2 models respecting considerations such as attack range and basic necessary animations.
Range: Melee
