//  1. Create a spell named what you want this spell to be named and add the ID to the constants further down.
//  2. Create the dummy units for this spell and add the ID at the constants further down
//  3. Import the librarys TT made by Cohadar and HSAS made by Pandamine to your map
//  4. Change the rest of the values at the spell constants further down so the spell acts the way you want it to do.
//  
//  Not: if you really want to you can change the HSAS calls to ABC calls or another library that uses handle attaching.

Changelog:

Added a special effect when summoning, speeded up a bit.

 

[GoGo-Boy]

Hmm, like the idea but the result isn't that great in my opinion. I think it looks so unrealistic (even for wc3 ) and boring. Since this is somewhat a telekinesis spell how about let the units flow in a certain high? And please add special effects whenever the footies are created. And you perhaps should increase the speed of at least the footmen creating.
I really like the idea, but think you should improve it in the stated points to make it more attractive^^

Edit: Ahh... now I knew your name. You're from mutedvision :s

Edit2: At least the speed issue is customizable for sure... globals ftw

 

[Gwypaas]

I was thinking about doing something like he raises them from the ground to different heights but I scrapped that idea because I didn't really know how move their height down, so I added a parabola so it would look better .

But i'll add some spawning effect!
Yes I am from Mutedvision, who are you there? I can't find your name.

Edit: Updated now with a effect when the units summons, also speeded up a bit.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Oh noes! =O

"Look mommy, I spy a TriggerSleepAction!" said Little Timmy.
"Stay away from those, dear. And we call it TSA... Your grounded for even calling it by its real name," said the mother.
"Aw... Sh*t!" said Little Timmy.

Other than that little TriggerSleepAction, it seems fine.

Great job Gwypaas, +rep.

Nice coding.

 

[Gwypaas]

Yeah I know about the TriggerSleepAction's but they are there to make the spell look better, there's 3 parts in the spell and the SleepActions separates them . I could always make a timer but that would just make the code less readable so I think it will stay this way, but if someone really thinks that the SleepActions must be removed I could do it

 

[Tinki3]

Approved, great work.

 

[Gwypaas]

Nice, My first spell got Approved!
