[Uhhhhhh] Test, I stumbled onto something completely by accident....

Sir ArmaMalum··9 votes·2,388 views

Was messing around with some ascii art in the comments and ended up doing something very......unexpected. Now I'm sure someone well-versed in site design/programming knows exactly what I did. Anyway, input is this:

First Line: |x|y|z|
Second Line: |-

and you get this:

|x|y|z| |-


###Update! Additions:

Discovery credit to: Zerglinator

Third Line: |a|b|c|
Fourth Line: |

and you get this:

|x|y|z| |- |a|b|c| |

Keep going with: |1|2|3| and: |

and you can get this:

|x|y|z| |- |a|b|c| | |1|2|3| | |and|so|on....| |


|Needless to say it was VERY unexpected|also the normal formatting works within the bars too| #Not headers though....| Hmm I wonder| What happens| when you put a lot of boxes in| to the input| Looks like it will expand downward|based on what the columns|are consisting of| So how far can I make| These things go|Maybe I'll break something??| |-

It looks like you can "break" this after enough columns. Above example goes on for a while longer to the right.

So...........essentially.......what in the hell did I just do? And am I supposed to be able to do it?

if i were to guess, it is a way built into the text editor used for posting comments to make an html unordered list, then it is being transformed by the unordered list marker in the website's style sheet thus transforming it into what you see.

So we can go

|Ahri's AD at Level 1|Ahri's AD at Level 18| |- |53|104|

Nvm figured it out, thanks though! Credit in OP :)

|The|possibilities|are|endless !|MUAHAHAHHAHAH !|
|- |Just imagine| what you could| do with| this !|

| Passive : | Kills anyone in 900 range automatically. |
|- || This champions kills anyone in 900 range automatically. Quite OP, I know. Deal with it. || P.s. Also kills allies.

(or maybe display skills how they are in the wiki ...)

| Cursed Touch ||
|-
|Amumu | Amumu's autoattacks reduce the target's magic resistance by 15 / 20 / 25 for 3 seconds (levels 1 / 7 / 13). This debuff refreshes with every basic attack.|

  • Cursed Touch is an on-hit debuff.
  • Cursed Touch will not apply if the attack is dodged, blocked or misses.

(Sadly normal formatting doesn't work in these boxes and I don't know why Cursed Touch doesn't stand next to each other ...)

| Bandage Toss | Range : 1100 | Cooldown : 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 / 8 | Cost : 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 120 Mana |
|-
| Amumu | Amumu tosses a sticky bandage in a straight line towards a target location. Amumu will pull himself to the enemy it contacts, dealing magic damage and stunning the target for 1 second. | MAGIC DAMAge : 80 / 130 / 180 / 210 / 260 ( +70% AP)

  • Bandage Toss is a linear, colliding skill shot that causes Amumu to dash onto the enemy hit.

Projectile Speed: 1800

  • Applies spell effects as a single target ability.

  • Spell vamp is fully applied.

  • Rylai's Crystal Scepter will apply a 35% slow.

  • Magic damage will be mitigated by Black Shield and Lifeline.

  • Spell shields will block the damage and stun, but will not stop Amumu dashing.

  • Additional Info :

    • Bandage Toss cannot be cast while Amumu is rooted.
    • Crowd control effects will not prevent Amumu from dashing if they hit him before the skill shot hits. However, the duration of the crowd control can persist the duration of the dash.
  • While Amumu is mid-dash, only knock-abouts crowd control effects will prevent him from reaching his target. Other forms of crowd control will still be applied, but they will not hinder his movement.

  • Bandage Toss can hit stealthed targets.

  • Bandage Toss does not fizzle on Amumu's death, and it can still stun and damage enemies.


OK, ... so the black box is awkwardly large. It'd be cool if we could decide how big it is. Otherwise I'll keep experimenting with this. Thanks Sir ArmaMalum !

|-like|-this?|- I don't think I followed your directions correctly :-( Anyways it's an interesting discovery.

Sir ArmaMalum1 votes

Make sure to have the first line as "|||||" (any number of bars) and the second line as "|-". Also, I'm using chrome as my browser of choice in case there's a difference there.

Sir ArmaMalum1 votes

ah, ok, also I notice there's a faint dividing horizontal underneath the first box, matching the first box's width. Hmmmm, now I'm going to look for excuses to put this in my [Debate] and [Guide] Posts, lol
