Looking for some help on this trig

[Music Man]

So Is there anyway to put in the formula for a certain shape when making special effect trigs? This is what I came up with to try to make a "circle" (more like a square) around my hero on cast. I think it looks pretty cool.. haha, but im sure it creates a huge memory leak. Go ahead and try this is you have zero time on your hands, ---

so to reiterate, could i create a for loop using an equation at different values of x? or do i need to resort to jass for that?

Use

• tags around your triggers, they are very hard to read now.

Yeah that works well. I would just put a small wait time so i can see what the special effect is as it is going farther and farther outside of the initial position like a ripple outwards. Thanks a lot!
