I made this system to make spellmaking easier, and I think I succeded. Not much to say, uses structs and methods, easy to use.

Code: (for those who actually have the time to read.)

// History:
// This system was originally created by Vestras for the map Aeon of Souls. Please give credit to 
// me when using!
//
// Why?
// I made this so that spell making could be easier and funnier. I know I've accomplished one of
// the objectives: easier. 
//
// What does it support?
// Currently casters, damage, shapes and sounds. The struct names are: sscaster, ssdamage, ssshapes
// and sssounds. 
//
// I'm always looking for ideas for new structs and methods, so if you have some, please share!

I Personally don't like SpellCasting Systems because they are make Spell creating TOO easy... It is like taking a shortcut (And yes, whenever you take shortcuts, you will regret something).

^Pwnt^ ^_^

But anyways:

Why use this over the other systems out there? Tell us why we should use this over CS or xe.

It's not. I just decided to post it as a resource when I already had posted that.

> can u say that this system is better than vex's caster system? and his latest fucki** awesome xe system?

im just asking

No, I can't. Because it's a matter of opinion. There's a lot of struct attachment systems too, but those are also for opinion, even though they all in all does the same thing.

> Why use this over the other systems out there? Tell us why we should use this over CS or xe.

As above. You can use this if you in some crazy way like it more than other systems.
