version 1.00: original Cool Whip spell
version 2.00: original submission to the Spells forum
version 2.50: coding optimizations, additional effects for Fire Whip, added Shock Whip and Death Whip, cancel-ability added to all spells
version 2.52: more coding optimizations, preloading added
This was my Cool Whip spell originally developed for the Official Christmas Spell Contest. With help from Pyrogasm, I've been able to clean up and optimize the code quite a bit. There is also a full configuration section included. Also, I created several other similar whip spells with various shapes and effects. In addition, I also came up with an Aim Help system.
Cool Whip
Spell type: instant-cast, pseudo-channeling
Description: Summons a magical tentacle made of ice particles that whips back and forth in an enlarging sinusoid shape with an oscillating pattern. The Hero cannot move nor attack nor cast any spells while the whip is active, but the Hero CAN turn and rotate in order to aim the whip. Enemy units that are hit by the whip take damage and are briefly slowed. [100 mana cost; 15 second cooldown]
Level 1 - creates a small whip that extends up to a distance of 630 away, deals up to 20 damage per second, slows by 50%, and lasts for 6 seconds.
Level 2 - creates a medium whip that extends up to a distance of 810 away, deals up to 24 damage per second, slows by 60%, and lasts for 8 seconds.
Level 3 - creates a large whip that extends up to a distance of 990 away, deals up to 28 damage per second, slows by 70%, and lasts for 10 seconds.

Fire Whip
Spell type: instant-cast, pseudo-channeling
Description: Summons a tentacle made of fire that whips back and forth in an enlarging travelling sinusoid shape. The Hero cannot move nor attack while the whip is active, but the Hero CAN rotate in order to aim the whip. The whip deals direct damage to enemy targets and lingering flames also deal residual damage and reduce armor briefly. [100 mana cost; 15 second cooldown]
Level 1 - a small whip that extends up to 525 away, deals up to 40 damage per second, and lasts for 6 seconds. Residual flames deal 5 damage per second and reduce armor by 2 for 5 seconds.
Level 2 - a medium whip that extends up 675 away, deals up to 48 damage per second, and lasts for 8 seconds. Residual flames deal 6 damage per second and reduce armor by 3 for 5 seconds.
Level 3 - a large whip that extends up to a distance of 825 away, deals up to 56 damage per second, and lasts for 10 seconds. Residual flames deal 7 damage per second and reduce armor by 3 for 5 seconds.

Shock Whip
Spell type: instant-cast, pseudo-channeling
Description: Summons a magical tentacle made of electricity that whips back and forth from side to side. The Hero cannot move nor attack nor cast any spells while the whip is active, but the Hero CAN turn and rotate in order to aim the whip. Enemy units that are hit by the whip take damage and have a chance to be purged. [100 mana cost; 15 second cooldown]
Level 1 - creates a small whip that extends up to a distance of 630 away, deals up to 30 damage per second, and lasts for 6 seconds. 20% chance to purge targets.
Level 2 - creates a medium whip that extends up to a distance of 810 away, deals up to 36 damage per second, and lasts for 8 seconds. 30% chance to purge targets.
Level 3 - creates a large whip that extends up to a distance of 990 away, deals up to 42 damage per second, and lasts for 10 seconds. 40% chance to purge targets.

Death Whip
Spell type: instant-cast, pseudo-channeling
Description: Summons a ghastly tentacle made of dark energies that whips from side to side and extends forward and backward. The Hero cannot move nor attack nor cast any spells while the whip is active, but the Hero CAN rotate in order to aim the whip. Enemy units that are hit by the whip take damage. If targets come into contact with the Skull Head they will be Crippled. [100 mana cost; 15 second cooldown]
Level 1 - a small whip that extends up to 420 distance away, deals up to 30 damage per second, and lasts for 6 seconds. Cripple reduces target's speed and damage by 50% for 5 seconds.
Level 2 - a medium whip that extends up to 560 distance away, deals up to 36 damage per second, and lasts for 8 seconds. Cripple reduces target's speed and damage by 60% for 6 seconds.
Level 3 - a large whip that extends up to 700 distance away, deals up to 42 damage per second, and lasts for 10 seconds. Cripple reduces target's speed and damage by 70% for 7 seconds.

//===========================================================================
//=========================== Cool Whip v2.52 ===============================
//============================ Instructions =================================
//===========================================================================
// MUI; requires vJASS
// Note: because the damage done is based on Permanent Immolation, damage will not
// stack (i.e. a unit being hit by 2 whips at a time will NOT take double damage)
// Note: units and abilities have been preloaded to prevent 'first-cast-lag'
//===========================================================================
// 1. Go to the Object Editor, and copy + paste the following:
// Units
// * Dummy Caster
// * Cool Whip Segment
// Abilities
// * Cool Whip: Add this ability to the Hero; make sure the buff is set to the
// custom "Cool Whip (Active)" buff.
// * Silence (for Cool Whip): make sure that the buff is set to the custom "Cool
// Whip (Caster)" buff.
// * Permanent Immolation (for Cool Whip): make sure that the buff is set
// to the custom "Cool Whip (Target)" buff.
// * Slow Aura (for Cool Whip): this is what provides the slow on targets.
// Buffs
// * Cool Whip (Active): This is the buff that comes from the "Cool Whip" ability
// It appears on the Hero when the spell is activated and disappears when the
// spell is cancelled.
// * Cool Whip (Caster): This is the buff that comes from the "Silence (for Cool
// Whip)" ability.
// * Cool Whip (Target): This buff applies the snowflakes-looking effects on
// targets that are hit by the whip.
// 2. Copy the following triggers:
// * this trigger: "CoolWhip"
// * AimHelp: this is an OPTIONAL trigger used to help with the aiming of this
// spell.
// 3. Other options:
// * Hero: Note that you may want to change "Stats - Can Flee" to "False" to
// make this skill a little easier to use. Otherwise, while the Hero is
// silenced, it will tend to run away from enemies since it can't attack.
// 4. To adjust the balance of the skill, you can change some of the following values:
// Abilities
// * Cool Whip: Cooldown, Mana Cost
// * Permanent Immolation (for Cool Whip): Damage, damage interval, AoE
// * Slow Aura (for Cool Whip): Attack Speed Factor, Movement Speed Factor, AoE
// 5. Make sure that the rawcodes specified below reference the proper units,
// abilities, or buffs.

Shock Whip
Spell type: instant-cast, pseudo-channeling
Description: Summons a magical tentacle made of electricity that whips back and forth from side to side. The Hero cannot move nor attack nor cast any spells while the whip is active, but the Hero CAN turn and rotate in order to aim the whip. Enemy units that are hit by the whip take damage and have a chance to be purged. [100 mana cost; 15 second cooldown]
Level 1 - creates a small whip that extends up to a distance of 630 away, deals up to 30 damage per second, and lasts for 6 seconds. 20% chance to purge targets.
Level 2 - creates a medium whip that extends up to a distance of 810 away, deals up to 36 damage per second, and lasts for 8 seconds. 30% chance to purge targets.
Level 3 - creates a large whip that extends up to a distance of 990 away, deals up to 42 damage per second, and lasts for 10 seconds. 40% chance to purge targets.

//===========================================================================
//========================== Shock Whip v2.52 ===============================
//============================ Instructions =================================
//===========================================================================
// MUI; requires vJASS
// Note: because the damage done is based on Permanent Immolation, damage will not
// stack (i.e. a unit being hit by 2 whips at a time will NOT take double damage)
// Note: units and abilities have been preloaded to prevent 'first-cast-lag'
//===========================================================================
// 1. Go to the Object Editor, and copy + paste the following:
// Units
// * Dummy Caster
// * Shcck Whip Segment
// Abilities
// * Shock Whip: Add this ability to the Hero; make sure the buff is set to the
// custom "Shock Whip (Active)" buff.
// * Silence (for Shock Whip): make sure that the buff is set to the custom "Shock
// Whip (Caster)" buff.
// * Permanent Immolation (for Shock Whip): make sure that the buff is set
// to the custom "Shock Whip (Target)" buff.
// * Purge (for Shock Whip): this is the purge that has a chance to be cast on targets
// Buffs
// * Shock Whip (Active): This is the buff that comes from the "Shock Whip" ability
// It appears on the Hero when the spell is activated and disappears when the
// spell is cancelled.
// * Shock Whip (Caster): This is the buff that comes from the "Silence (for Shock
// Whip)" ability.
// * Shock Whip (Target): This buff applies the purge effects on targets that
// are hit by the whip.
// 2. Copy the following triggers:
// * this trigger: "ShockWhip"
// * AimHelp: this is an OPTIONAL trigger used to help with the aiming of this
// spell.
// 3. Other options:
// * Hero: Note that you may want to change "Stats - Can Flee" to "False" to
// make this skill a little easier to use. Otherwise, while the Hero is
// silenced, it will tend to run away from enemies since it can't attack.
// 4. To adjust the balance of the skill, you can change some of the following values:
// Abilities
// * Shock Whip: Cooldown, Mana Cost
// * Permanent Immolation (for Shock Whip): Damage, damage interval, AoE
// * Purge (for Shock Whip): durations, damage to summons
// 5. Make sure that the rawcodes specified below reference the proper units,
// abilities, or buffs.

Spell type: instant-cast, pseudo-channeling
Description: Summons a ghastly tentacle made of dark energies that whips from side to side and extends forward and backward. The Hero cannot move nor attack nor cast any spells while the whip is active, but the Hero CAN rotate in order to aim the whip. Enemy units that are hit by the whip take damage. If targets come into contact with the Skull Head they will be Crippled. [100 mana cost; 15 second cooldown]
Level 1 - a small whip that extends up to 420 distance away, deals up to 30 damage per second, and lasts for 6 seconds. Cripple reduces target's speed and damage by 50% for 5 seconds.
Level 2 - a medium whip that extends up to 560 distance away, deals up to 36 damage per second, and lasts for 8 seconds. Cripple reduces target's speed and damage by 60% for 6 seconds.
Level 3 - a large whip that extends up to 700 distance away, deals up to 42 damage per second, and lasts for 10 seconds. Cripple reduces target's speed and damage by 70% for 7 seconds.

Aim Help
Description: More than one person has made a comment about how difficult it was to aim the original Cool Whip spell, so I have included this Aim Help Trigger to address that problem. This works for all whip spells.
