Currently adding information on spells + import info.

Please report any suggestions, bugs, leaks or whatever you think I might want to know.

+rep if this spell is useful to me or if you want to rep for any other reason

Can a moderator please change the name of this thread to Earthspells with prefix [Spellpack]? Thx.

Update June 12 2009: Added 3 spells, made Earthquake MUI.

 

[dragonhord]

player 1 can't cast twice else will bug

Hehe... No... Not quite.. My map definitely looked interesting. But you can simplify that bottom statement into MUI: No . The spell is nice but nothing new really. Haven't taken a look at the trigger yet, and you should check out the MUI GUI tutorial... So players can cast it at the same time and it will still work .

I posted this here so people could look at my triggers and find any problems and tell me if the spell is nice, or any improvements, so please look at the triggers if you have time. And about the tutorial, I would check it out if you could leave a link.

Quick trigger review:

Apparently this leaks:

Wait ** game-time seconds

You should use 'Wait ** seconds'.

Special Effect - Create a special effect at earthquake1[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl

-leaks.

Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at earthquake1[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] facing Default building facing degrees 
Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Thunder Clap 
Unit - Remove (Last created unit) from the game

You should give the unit an expiration timer, instead.

Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability

Should probably be:

Unit - A unit Starts the effects of an ability

I dont understand about the wait game-time seconds, isn't using game-time seconds better than seconds? So that if someone is lagging it will wait? And for the special effect, what do I need to do? Add a trigger that destroys it? And Thanks for helping me.
Also, How do I +rep someone?

I honestly don't know about game-time seconds, either.
I was told it waits even if someone is lagging, like you said. But some people also claims it's leaking, somehow. I don't know how or why.

custom script  call DestroyEffect(udg_Variable)

is one way of doing it.

You add/remove rep from someone by clicking the rep button, which is located at the top of every post, it looks like this:

 

[TheWarcraft]

Ok thanks i'll keep the game-time seconds unless someone can tell me what is wrong.
+rep

 

[T.s.e]

The problem with using Game-Time seconds is that the function's code creates a timer which is never removed properly. Blizzard's fault, just use Wait xx seconds instead.

Is there a way to use a timer that will wait if a player is lagging?

For the MUI. And sorry for not responding about your trigger still... just been busy with school XD.

 

[TheWarcraft]

I will be updating soon with 3 extra related abilites and leaks fixed, I am just waiting for some help with something.(destroying multiple lightning effects after a period of time)

 

[TheWarcraft]

Thanks to dragonhord I was able to make my spell MUI. +rep.

 

[TheWarcraft]

No one is trying my spells?

 

[wraithseeker]

Don't triple post and terrain deformations are real bad, they bug and such.

Tried the test map & spammed Earthquake 5 times and my fps dropped to 4 and it lagged real hard.

 

[TheWarcraft]

You can make it lagless easily by reducing the amount of "shocks" and making them more powerful, and using terrain deformations.
