Hi.

I was bored, so I created a new spell. Which I then turned into an item. The name Wisp Wheel is probably a bad name, but it doesn't matter.
I'm quite bad at coming up with tooltips and descriptions so I just ignored them. :p
It was hard getting good screenshots, so I decided to leave them out as well. -You'll just have to download the map and see for yourself. :p

Yes, I know some of the codes are horrible. (Suggestions to improve appriciated.)

I edited the Moonkey icon for the items I'm using. The .rar file containing the icons can be downloaded here: (TheHelper wouldn't let me upload .rar :() http://www.freewebs.com/idtatwc3/Fire%20Ice%20Poison%20Pack.rar
Map attached.

//==========================

What the item does is the following:
There are three items: Fire, Ice and Poison.
Each item spawn a wisp that circles around the hero and attacks nearby enemy units.
If a unit acquires two of these items, they will merge into one. (Complete of six different items; 'Fire', 'Ice', 'Poison', 'Fire + Ice', 'Fire + Poison', 'Ice + Poison', 'all three'.)

So without further ado.. Enjoy!

Your lack of documentation (on the variables) disturbs me :p

Would be lovely if you could initialize ALL your variables in that Setup Variables trigger (or, if they arrayed, initialize some high index, like 6293), then you can CnP that trigger for easy copy-pasting of the variables

Locations -> Coordinates would be cool too (less leak removal), if you are unsure of how to use coordinates, I'll try and find the thread where I made an example of offsetting, getting distance, and all that stuff

Also, it'd be a good idea to try and get out of the GUI coding habit (i.e. one trigger in the left-hand side corresponding to one trigger, like gg_trg_Something or whatever) - will help to reduce importing requirements, and it's nice to be able to keep all associated code in one place (rather than having 3 separate triggers in the left-hand pane for 3 things, why not do them all in the same script, where they will all be together and you can easily just scroll between them)

Total grade before testing the spell: -29. While being generous. Really, you can't expect such poorly made resource to be even looked at. While I have no official saying, but, for the staff and the community, put some thought to your posts!

-I don't expect anyone to actually want to import it, though.

-Yes, coordinates are better, I'll try to convert as many locations as I can. Thank you for noticing. :)

-I don't get what you're saying. :p

then dont post it. nobody wants 10 triggers for a simple movement system which can be done even in GUI in 5 mins. so it would be better to just forget this and graveyard it.

If everyone reasoned like that, then there would be hardly anything in this forum. :p
-How many of the custom made systems, spells and icons do you think are actually being used in maps?

many of the approved i think. and if i say nobody i mean nobody would import 10 triggers.... i think we even have a wispwheel in the systems section (which doesnt need to import 10 triggers)

That wasn't really a question, but whatever..

Do you usually suggest people's threads to be graveyarded, before even looking at the triggers or even downloading the map?

After I combined all the stuff on the ground and dumped it again, I noticed that theres a green, blue and red wisp flying around my hero, whilst my inventory is empty.

Advice: TEST THINGS BEFORE YOU RELEASE.
