Here's another DotA spell made by me. Elune's Arrow. It's all in GUI.
It containd a Game Message, so you can see how much the stun duration will be on the affected unit. You can deleted that Game Message.
Please tell me any leaks, or improvement, so I can improve this and added to the index.

Level 1 - Deals 90 damage.
Level 2 - Deals 180 damage.
Level 3 - Deals 270 damage.

You forgot to mention if its MUI or MPI...

This can't be either MUI or MPI it uses a global variable for the unit that is carried over to another trigger...if it is casted twice it shall completely fail

If you don't mind i'd submit my JASS version of this :p

No problem at all. It would be better, to have the two versions. And how can I make this MPI or MUI? If it can be MPI or MUI...I mean for the global variable or wait time..

Well MUI would require JASS (because you use 2 triggers)

MPI would require you to use an Array so that 1 hero per player may use this spell

And about the JASS version, you will do it?

Well yes it is pretty simple...I just need to find a place to squeeze it into my schedule :nuts:

Eh...I blame school.

I will do it ASAP though.

Most likely weekend

seems easy to do.. a repeating timer, quick attachments, distance move and check on the same timer...

Just somethings, why have the stun in one trigger if you can have the stun in the other trigger ? then you could rid of the wait.
The spell looks fine +rep

Offtopic: o_O i live in argentina too.. :p

> Set EA_Picked_Loc = (Position of EA_Picked)

This location is never removed.

-----------------------------

> I really think there should be a rule that spells and systems should be at least MPI.

Then why not make it so every spell needs to be JASS for better efficiency? And then it should also need to avoid BJs at all cost. It should also be perfect, too! ;)

Nah, it's like that because a spell can still be decent without being neither MPI nor MUI.

> seems easy to do.. a repeating timer, quick attachments, distance move and check on the same timer...

In a perfect world there would be a template for every spell in our Spell Section, and so no one could come up with a spell since the templates are already covering it all.

But, this isn't a perfect world. It's maybe easy for you, but not for everyone ;)
 

waaaks!

I am certain that Elune's Arrow cannot be created with GUI.. Possible with GUI-Jass combo.. GUI kinda's slow for the movement of the arrow..

Even if it's slow, a sliding trigger would work...which you can do in GUI. It's just nicer in JASS.

Hero1234, you have to tell if you are going to make the JASS version of this. So I can update it.
