Spell Calamity Strike

[Calamity Strike]​

Not MUI
Used in my map : BattleGround Generals​

Calls forth a catastrophic lightning storm form the heavens to strike the hero's enemies. The lightning storm follows the hero for 10/15/20 seconds, striking every second. Everything in a small radius of the lightning bolt will receive 85 damage and will be stunned for 0.80 seconds.

maybe some will say that this is similiar to Tinki3's Monsoon Storm spell but i don't think it is.
i didn't check his spell yet though...

i made this spell while i was making a hero for my map.
it's pretty hard to trigger so i decided to post it here.

i hope you like it

please post your feedbacks.

EDIT:

Fixed the leaks. thanks to Daxtreme

Sounds quite easy, but also kinda interesting. The size is small, too.

when setting your cs_loops, you could use an equation rather then 3 function calls

owner of cs_caster could be set to a variable to remove a lot of function calls

cs_realtargetgroup could just be a unit.....

you should remove your location outside of your second loop

no need to destroy your group every time, just clear it, and that should be done outside your if/then

other then that looks good, a second opinion on coding is welcome

Only difference is that your's is slower, not MUI, and the bolts of lightning don't hit random points around the caster.

Other than all that, it was fine.

when setting your cs_loops, you could use an equation rather then 3 function calls

set cs_loops = Level of CS for CSC x 5 + 5

Good.

However, there is a bug that as long as the spell is active, you can't access tooltips of anything on the map. When you scroll over a unit/spell/item, it doesn't bring up the text that usually pops. Weird

Other than that... Nice.

it's because of the fade filter the spell uses.
it disable some things but it isn't a bug

I see. Nice work

Well, this spell could be MUI with timers in JASS. Only con I could remember.

You don't need to keep bumping your thread if the spell's leakless, and up to the standard of SFilip's requirements .

The last line isn't in the Integer A loop, which causes several point leaks.

You are only destroying the groups if the condition check is true. If it isn't, they will leak.
