Snippet Casting Time

[rodead]

I made a Snippet for Casting Time:

It creates the Time a Spell is casting At the heroes location.
it is leakless and MPI.

enjoy!

Code:

Let Unit Cast
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
        Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Casting[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = 0.00
        Set Casting_Unit_Loc[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Position of (Casting unit))
        Set Casting_Time[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = True

Casting Time
    Events
        Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        Casting_Time[(Integer A)] Equal to True
                    Then - Actions
                        Set Casting[(Integer A)] = (Casting[(Integer A)] + 0.01)
                        Floating Text - Destroy Casting_Floating_Text[(Integer A)]
                        Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (Casting Time:  + (String(Casting[(Integer A)]))) at Casting_Unit_Loc[(Integer A)] with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
                        Set Casting_Floating_Text[(Integer A)] = (Last created floating text)
                    Else - Actions

Stop Unit Cast
    Events
        Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
        Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Casting_Time[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = False
        Floating Text - Destroy Casting_Floating_Text[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Owner of (Casting unit)) Equal to (Player((Integer A)))
                    Then - Actions
                        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Casting_Unit_Loc[GetForLoopIndexA()])
                    Else - Actions

it seems nobody is interested?

 

[PoZoR]

well, it IS interesting, but in most maps that people make today, it would look pretty ugly i think?

 

[Cohadar]

Meh, it could perhaps be used for debugging a spell.
Post some pictures...

added screenshot!

Meh

lol Why did u love this word so much?

lol Why did u love this word so much?

please keep it on topic or post something on topic and off-topic!

so what you think about it?

Granted, it is useful, maybe for debugging. Still, in most cases, you don't ever have variable casting times (unless you have some spells which have variable casting delays as a feature - this would be really useful there), and you can control the value directly in the Object Editor.

I think this would only be useful in-game in some unique map with dynamic/random casting times. But yeah, good snippet. Serves its purpose, though can't be used very widely.

your totally right, thanks for your command!
