Spell X-Fire

[Foresector]

Um, this is my first spell submit so don't be afraid to give mean feedback ^^
Don't roast me too bad
I have no creativity so if you find this boring, I already understand

JASS: No
MUI: No
Leaks: Not that I can find
Import difficulty: Low

X Fire: Creates a rotating cross of flames that damage enemies who come into contact with it. Damage is higher at the center of the cross.

Updated: Remove leak functions are in loop
Screenshot attached *I knew I forgot something *
Ability now Channels

 

[Arcane]

Screenshot please.

 

[~GaLs~]

Set it able to target ground.
Why use carrion swarm instead of shockwave?
Make caster channeling.

Where's teh screenshot?

 

[Sim]

Your spell needs a screenshot.

It should also be point-targeted instead of unit targeted

Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_XMarker1)
Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_XMarker2)
Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_XMarker3)
Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_XMarker4)

This should be inside the loop to prevent leaks.

Not bad of a spell actually, just needs the things I mentionned!

 

[Foresector]

Carrion swarm, because shockwave creates depressions in the ground.

>Carrion swarm, because shockwave creates depressions in the ground

Yes, that's what I'd have used as well.
Shockwave is also laggy, so using multiples could get ugly.

Cool spell

I have 3 things to say: WOW more rep

Haha, thanks
I'm surprised the triggering wasn't as atrocious as I was expecting it to be

 

[Sim]

So, are you going to update it anytime soon...?

 

[Foresector]

I have, haven't I?

 

[Sim]

Approved, but you might want to make the spell channeling instead of pausing the caster (With a turn off feature when the caster stops casting, too).

Nice spell + Rep

QUOTE]

i'm new to making spells. why are these lines required? the spell works fine without them. It appears that this is related to 'leaks'.

can anyone explain to me what leaks are?

thank you.

A TH.net guide to leaks.
Custom Scripts, what Leakage is, how to avoid it, and most importantly:
How to prevent the giant, ferocious, (orange) JASS monster from getting you.

All in one package!

Here's a link:

Should tell you all you need to know about leaks.

 

[forSophia]

thank you. i have been enlightened.

 

[konerboy]

Awesome spell but i don't like the effects...

+rep for tha work

 

[SkyXyden]

Good spell, I shall be using this in my map.

Is it okay for me to modify it slightly? I'll give you credits for the original idea.

+Rep

 

[Foresector]

Oh yes, I'd be delighted if you did

I wouldn't have posted this if I didn't want anybody to use it

 

[SerraAvenger]

umm... does the cross rotate? If yes, please let it rotate the other way (clockwise). Resembles me too much of a swastika

Apart from that, a wonderful spell. I really like it : )

 

[HellCraft]

good spell +rep
