• Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 98.00% transparency

??? Why 98%?

• * Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to WF_DamageAlready[WF_CustomV]

You don't destroy this group afterwards? After you cast it 200 times, and it resets, it will bug?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Otherwise... good job...
I find DotA spells hard to make (This is DotA right?).... I tried making Leap, but I don't know how to use SetUnitX and SetUnitY

You don't destroy this group afterwards? After you cast it 200 times, and it resets, it will bug?

It doesn't need to be destroyed - that group won't leak, and it won't bug after the counter reset. Adding/removing groups from an existing group doesn't cause leaks. The problem arises when you create a new group over a previously-existing one

Speaking of leaks...

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within WF_Aoe of WF_Offset matching (((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is in WF_DamageAlready[WF_CustomV]) Equal to False)) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of WF_Caster[WF_CustomV])) Equal to T and do (Actions)

You're leaking a group there

Also,

Set WF_Caster[WF_CustomV] = (Picked unit)

Why not set that to (Triggering Unit) in the Wave Form trigger, rather than setting it everytime the periodic trigger executes?

Also,

Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_WF_DamageAlready[udg_WF_CustomV])

Destroying the storage group (can't think of a better way to phrase it ) mightn't be the best idea, since it could mess things up after the MUI counter resets. If you are doing that, you should add these lines to the Wave Form trigger (after you increment WF_MuiCount)

Custom script: if udg_WF_DamageAlready[udg_WF_CustomV] == null then
Custom script: set udg_WF_DamageAlready[udg_WF_CustomV] = CreateGroup ()
Custom script: endif

That way, each instance should have a storage group available once the counter resets.

What is the value for Size of AlreadyDamaged in the Variable Editor -> Edit Variable window? If I knew that, it'd probably make the solution much simpler i.e. no additional custom scripts

 

[RaiJin]

ok ill fix up the code again

+rep thanks for the reply's

 

[Dinowc]

lol I just made Wave form and Knockback abilities today and I was thinking to submit them here xd
but then I've decide to make just a few more spells so I can post my spellpack

well since you already posted Wave form, I'll just have to skip it

if some ppl want it, I can post my knockback (Spirit breaker's)
it's pretty simple, MUI, lagless and leakless

 

[RaiJin]

the reason why i made his transparency to 98% is because thats how they did it in dota i think

 

[simonake]

Wow. You just fixed my MUI problem. I was good at fixing, caster[mui] and all these when ability is cast. But i couldnt find out how to in the 0.03 trigger, go take this unit and use his custom value.

+rep:thup:

+Palm for best waveform tutorial.:thup:

Very good job. You helper me alot for my map. Now can do the same for other spells.:thup::thup:

[Igor_Z]

Very cool spell... I like it, btw 1 question: Why ur second trigger is turned on? I don't understand why? Answer plz

 

[simonake]

If he was turning it on/off , it would 'bug' when another guy is casting it.
It cannot be MUI when you turn on/off

 

[Flare]

If he was turning it on/off , it would 'bug' when another guy is casting it.
It cannot be MUI when you turn on/off

If you turn the trigger off when there is no spell instance running, it won't break the MUI-ness of the spell. The problem arises when you turn the trigger off while there are instances of the spell still running

 

[simonake]

That's actually what i wanted to say with my bad english

 

[ElderKingpin]

raijin, is this your spell. The creators of personas made this spell

 

[TriggerHappy]

raijin, is this your spell. The creators of personas made this spell

personas weren't the first ones to make a polar projection line spell.

Even if he did get the idea from that game, i'm sure the coding is his own.

 

[RaiJin]

idea is from dota.

 

[Bloodcount]

raijin, is this your spell. The creators of personas made this spell

OMB elder.... personas is a dota copy, (same styled heroes, just spells are a bit mixed up) with tag styled play. This is a spell type called dash/charge spells. I beleave that dota are the first ones who added this thing. (as well as knockback, but really not sure about this)

Omb- Oh my Bloodcount

 

[Igor_Z]

LoL, why do u think he stole it... He uploded it didn't he. It will help other people, thats all that mathers... Let the creators argue with him if it is stolen

 

[13lade619]

the point is he made 'a' spell and posted it here.
