Spell Fade

[soulreaping]

I was a little bored and this spell idea came to my mind.

This spell is in GUI, and it's pretty much leakless (checked with Leak Check v2).

The hero slowly fades in into the darkness, making him hard to see and hard to hit.
After 30 seconds, the hero will slowly fade out from the darkness, losing his evasion.

Level 1 - Grants 10% evasion.
Level 2 - Grants 20% evasion.
Level 3 - Grants 30% evasion.
Level 4 - Grants 40% evasion.

Set FD_FadeOutInterval = (FD_FadeOutInterval + 5.00)

This is pretty much leakless AFAIK.

Please note that the evasion part isn't very efficient in my opinion, but I didn't find any other way to do the temporary evasion.

Please note that I have imported 2 icons so I can hide as much as possible the added evasion skill.

You may edit this as much as you want, also I don't mind if you use it on your maps without credit, it's not a stunning spell, very easy to do.

Thanks Tinki3 for his spell map template.

Please comment.

Cheers

Cool spell .

In the "Fade2" trigger, in the "Then-Actions", you are removing those 2
locations even though they aren't set before-hand in that trigger.
Remove those 2 lines of Custom Script.

In the "Fade3" trigger you are hiding a timer-window that doesn't exist.
Timer windows are seperate to timers themselves.
Remove that line.

All else seems fine.

You can add a disabled spellpack with evasion to the caster for the evasion
