Why is this approved? The spell is leaking Locations like hell. It creates more than 40-50 permanent handles on every use.

The function "Location(X, Y)" leaks twice in your code in addition to those leaks Tyrande reported!
Create a local Location and store the Location return in it, then remove the Location and set it to null.
Or use a global temporary Location variable;

Also, half of the variables stored to the struct are useless and could be done via locals or some few globals.

This was approved a loooong time ago...
I'll remove them when I've got time... Until then, I guess somebody may put this into Graveyard.

I fixed this spell, cause im gonna use it in my map. It now doesnt need ABC anymore and i hope all leaks are fixed.

Some changes i made (sry i thought about uploading it here after i already changed):
- only 1 level but damage can depend on stats
- i removed some comments

when i downloaded the test map and replaced the old trigger with this one and deleted the abc library and save the map and tested, i couldn't get in the game but got sent to the warcraft 3 main menu.

i also edited the ability id to be A000 like it is in the test map, should i instead create a new ability object?

maybe you forgot some functions in map header?

And you dont need to create a new dummy ability, just change the STRIKE_ID in the sourcecode.

Hey all,
This is one of my first vJass Spell I will be submitting here.

JASS:

private function Trig_Lightning_Strike_Group takes nothing returns boolean
    return IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE) == false and IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_MAGIC_IMMUNE) == false and IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(),UNIT_TYPE_DEAD) == false
endfunction


Could be

JASS:

private function Trig_Lightning_Strike_Group takes nothing returns boolean
    return (not(IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE))) and so on
endfunction


JASS:
if IsUnitEnemy(PickedUnit,GetOwningPlayer(Data.Caster)) then


What if the unit is invisible or something else? You may wanna add more filters, or add some constants at the top regarding filters.
constant boolean HitInvisibles = false

smth like that

JASS:

function InitTrig_Lightning_Strike takes nothing returns nothing


Since you're using vJass, you could rename this to
JASS:
private function init takes nothing returns nothing

and initialize it at the library/scope declaration
JASS:

library MyLightning initializer init



Anyway, cool idea, gj

do you know that you're saying things obvious that people know?

since rename function to init and initialize it with library/scope name is the same as leave the name of the trigger

and if you wanna an extra filter, add it :)

You don't get it. It isn't about how nice it will look.
It's about the damn import to a map.
If you don't name your trigger the same with the init_trig function
it W-O-N-T work.

So what i stated is some "help" for newbies

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    Latest Recipe is Garlic Parmesan Chicken https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-garlic-parmesan-chicken.193575/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
