Lags at first cast

How to Implement:
Copy all the objects (Mountain King not necessary) then go to Preferances and check the box that says "copy unknown variables". Then copy the spell folder and paste it into you map. To prevent lag, order a unit to cast the spell in the first seconds.

Summon a magnetic orb towards the targeted location. If your Magneticm is positive, the orb will pull nearby units to it and then create a magnetic field that prevents units from getting in or out for 8 seconds. Units inside the field will also suffer 5 damage every second and another 5 damage for each units inside the field. If your magneticm is negative, it will push nearby units from it and then create a magnetic reacton that pulls units whitin 600 range to it and deal 200 damage.

Wow this looks quite nice actually!

 

[Infinitegde]

Spelling please ;D Also, is it the spell that lags or the special fx? Put a readme in the post about how you can pre-place certain objects/skills/fx to make it lag less. Also, talk about implementation. Other than that... Looks nice

 

[Draphoelix]

Only the Magnetic Field lags, I've tried to preplace the objects in it but didn't work. Right now I order the unit to cast it in the first seconds.

 

[Flare]

Looks fun from the screenshots - must test it out

One problem I can immediately see from the code (haven't looked at it very thoroughly) - arrayed locations. They're fine for things like

Set Point[1] = ...
Set Point[2] = Point[1] offset by...

But using them like you did (i.e. 2 separate arrayed variables) for sliding, and using a variable to reference the arrays... it's not needed at all and just adds to the work since you have to remove leaks using the variable (when you could just be typing [1] or [2], or even no array index if you're using 2 separate variables). But, what's done is done and there's no point altering it now since that's just extra work, but it's worth remembering for future reference

There are few situations (with regards to spell-making) where you need an arrayed location variable (unless you're sliding towards a specific point, but that can be worked around using a real variable to calculate distance travelled) and sliding certainly isn't one of them (unless you only want one variable to deal with the sliding)

(Can't rep you just yet)

 

[Magentix]

Preload the abilities to remove the lag at first cast.
Other than that: awesome screenshots/features for a GUI spell.

+R

 

[Flare]

That was pretty fun, but the green text was damn ugly - perhaps a different dummy spell is in order (and I don't think you changed the Shadow Strike buff, unless you left the icon as it was)

 

[Sivert]

One little thing: when you target right in front the mk while the magneticthing is negative, the orb keeps going until its out of the map.

 

[Draphoelix]

Fixed that sivert.

And Flare, do you mean instead of

                        Set Pulse_Loc[A_CV2] = (Position of (Picked unit))
                        Set Pulse_Loc2[A_CV2] = (Pulse_Loc[A_CV2] offset by 20.00 towards ((Angle from Loc1[A_CV2]

I could have done

                        Set Pulse_Loc[1] = (Position of (Picked unit))
                        Set Pulse_Loc[2] = (Pulse_Loc[1] offset by 20.00 towards ((Angle from Loc1[A_CV2]

And fixed that buff, I think the color melts in pretty well with the field and the surrounding greenish things. And also you want to know how much damage you dealt (too lazy with floating text \o/ )

 

[Flare]

Ye, that's what I meant.

And you could just make a single floating text at the centre of the AoE to show how much is being done

 

[Draphoelix]

Ye, that's what I meant.
So it will still be MUI? But don't you have to destroy it twice still?

call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[1]
call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[2]

And you could just make a single floating text at the centre of the AoE to show how much is being done

Lazyness is my excuse

 

[Flare]

You're gonna have to destroy both points whatever way you do it (unless you want to do some JASS, which could cut it down to none )

And yes, it'll still be MUI - the loop will go through all of the actions for a specific unit before moving on. If you are creating, using and destroying the point (in that order) within the loop, you are fine
