Looks good from screenshot...Taking a look at code.

Something is really Bothering me... Why the hell is the GUI version taking less space than the JASS one ?? O,o Anyways, very decent Spell. ( This looks even smoother than the one in DotA )

You can cast it only once, the second time will remove the first cast (tryed with 25 bounces and no cooldown)

Which variable does need to be changed to allow a 2nd cast ? (or is it possible)

Pretty insane spell I <3 it

>Why the hell is the GUI version taking less space than the JASS one ?

JASS version's map has more pre-placed units I suppose.

>You can cast it only once, the second time will remove the first cast
>Which variable does need to be changed to allow a 2nd cast ?

All of them.
Though, the GUI version's not MUI or MPI, for the record.

You'd need to convert all variables to have an array size of 1, and use "Player No. of Trig. Unit" as the index value.
That would make the spell MPI.

Or, you could always use Uareanoob's GUI-MUI system.

Thanks for the comments guys

Like the way you do it Tinki3. Maybe better that the one in DotA..Good job!

 

[U are a noob]

Good spell. Only thing is when units are to close together it looks ugly.

 

[Tinki3]

>when units are to close together it looks ugly

I agree; it all happens too fast when the targets are "close" together.
Though that can be modified through the detection range.

However I don't know if changing it from 100 to some # around 5-10 would do much..

>Maybe better that the one in DotA

In my opinion, it is.
It looks better anyway.

Though DotA's version goes for a much more gamplay-related style.
For example the frost ball damages the current target as soon as it reaches
the first point in which it was picked at, so regardless of how far it had travelled
since then wouldn't matter, which makes things easier for players, but makes the spell look weird.

Are we waiting for something?

I can't understand the JASS code.
That means it must be good.

And the GUI code is perfectly fine.

Not to mention that the demo map could be submitted without any spell and it would get approved.

Approved by me.

>Are we waiting for something?

Well, I was.

>I can't understand the JASS code

No need to - it's technically just a converted GUI version, but 1000 times more efficient.
And, obviously MUI.

Thanks for the approval

 

[waaaks!]

Yeh i was trying out how to make this spell too
but oh well seems ill use your code for it
(if im allowed that is?) +rep its a good spell to make

 

[Tinki3]

>if im allowed that is?

Or course you are

Every spell in this forum is for the public, so anyone can use them as they wish.
(Just don't take credit for being the spell's author )

Good Job tinki3

I made also some chain spells like chain slow, chain cyclone, chain transmute (my favorite ) and chain bloodlust
But I can't make them in jass that uses local variables because I can't write in jass...

can some1 help me to make the variables into local?

 

[scyap]

just wondering

what if i use ChainLightning with ice models and then use a dummy to cast the slow effect on those who are affected?

will it work?

 

[Somatic]

No it will not work.

 

[Naxisty]

Tnx Tinki3 nice Spell And +rep

 

[Tinki3]

New JASS version added.
