Then it's okay I think.
It's just a matter of placement, where to set the variables.

Aerial Aid [Work in Progress]
WIP #1
I can't use ScreenToGif because it requires some .NET framework or something which I don't currently have because I recently did a factory reset so I'll just upload my WIP map with my WIP code.
Disclaimer: My current WC3 version is 1.24 so I don't know if it will work for 1.26.

JASS:
scope AerialAid/*
*************************** Aerial Aid aplha version *****************************
by Flux
SPELL DESCRIPTION:
Calls an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) containing your army of robotic minions.
The UAV is equuipped with 2/3/4 guns which fires at enemy units in its field of
sight targeting heroes and units with low hitpoints. Upon activation, 'Aerial Aid'
is replaced by the sub-skill 'Deploy Paratroopers' which commands your robotic army
to parachute from the UAV.
SPELL NOTES (Default Configuration):
- Heroes have higher priority than units with lower hitpoints.
- The target location will be the midpoint of the line connecting
the spawn location and expire location.
- The UAV will reach the target point when half of the UAV duration has
elapsed.
- UAV guns can only hit units within the field of sight of the UAV. The
field of sight has a conic shape and cannot hit units directly below it.
- The falling entrance and rising exit of the UAV is not part of the
spell duration, and the UAV is not active during that time.
To do list (Order by Priority):
- Fix Object Editor Data (including creating my own screenshot icon for this contest)
- Use a better lightning model for the target something that looks like a laser.
- Create SFX where the Plane will go, something like a runway light SFX.
- Add Snipe Target SFX.
- Instead of a new unit-type per level, consider using BonusMod.
In the end, it will require 1 troope fly-type, 1 troop ground-type, 1 transform ability
and 1 uav-unitType in all levels.
- Fix World Bounds stuffs.
- Instead of a gun with instant gun shot, consider using a missile projectile.

Don't post your entry into the spell section before the
contest deadline for entries has expired. It's unfair towards
other contest attendees.
Fair play please.

You can just ignore the spell submissions. That's how Magtheridon96 and other moderators handles it in the past
or just for the sake of the contest, close the thread so that noone can give a review

The issue is the contestant getting a spell review from other users who are possibly unaware of the contest. I saw a contestant upload their submission within seconds of their initial upload, and I would have given an extensive review if it were not for the fact I knew that the concept was their contest entry. Deleting the submission or closing the thread would be the only solution.

I'm temporary hiding these submissions.
They will be visible again to the community after the contest deadline.

I'm just going to wait 'till the contest is over, update the spell due to the review by the judges and only then I will proceed to upload.

OK here is some clarification. First of all I didn't know about it. Second, I previously attached my map to my post and meatmuffin told me that I shouldn't do it that way. And since I didn't know anywhere else to upload my map I posted it in the spell section.
And by the way, I thought it was like the previous cinematic contest where all the submissions posted their entries in the cinematic section or in youtube. So, no one is trying to foul play.

Thank you for doing that. I didn't want to post my entry in any other place. I can say, your action was the best thing that I could have hoped for.

Your entry should be uploaded here, you can't upload it anywhere else (except Pastebin, obviously)

Look at this comment. I had done the same thing but I thought maybe I should do something else.
Edit
BPower, there's no need to unhide the submission. Please delete it right away. As I said earlier I don't want it in spell section or any other sections. And for the record if anyone hadn't noticed yet, I've removed all my maps from this site and this spell is not an exception. Once again no foul play intended.
When somebody like meatmuffin says something that can be misguiding, nobody gives a shit about it, and when I go and do the wrong thing, the spam they make over the issue is really upsetting.
Delete it, delete my entry, do whatever you like to do. It's no longer important for me to win if it's foul play!!

The public are not the ones who are going to review your spell, it is the judges.
Uploading it here isn't going to be ignored and it is not important if the map needs attention

What I meant by posting a map along with a wip and nothing else, is that it is better to post images/gifs/code instead of the actual map.
There's no reason for you to get, to be blunt, butthurt, it is just common knowledge that you shouldn't upload it to the spell section, it's like sending your work to your teacher, get your mistakes pointed out, fix them, send it to the same teacher again and get a perfect grade.
Luckily, nobody noticed it yet and nobody pointed out anything so there's no foul play at all.

If you had looked more carefully, I had attached the map to my post, then why would you go and say you should attach it? I guess You didn't know what you were saying and made me do something that I felt is not right and put me in a situation that I hate to be - the foul player. And now you try to stand corrected. Accept your mistake man! You should've shut it, cause there was nothing wrong with my post there. Get over your addiction to post unnecessary comments, please.
Edit
I just noticed that it is going to become like the hell I went through in the Zephyr contest #12. So I withdraw my entry, because arguing over a f**king simple mistake for hundreds of pages is like poison for my nerves.
I'm gone. I've had enough of this shit!
Deleting my entry!!
More Edit
Man! the ratio of the time that I've wasted over this site and the satisfaction I received for it, is almost 100 to 5. I woke up full of energy that finally I finished my work and let's go check if somebody wrote any comments about it. But of all the things that I expected, this shit??? I somehow feel tired.
I had a feeling man! Just look at my first comment in this thread. I somehow knew it!
I recently was working on some 3-player episodic maps. But, if it's what I will get then why bother? (I don't know, maybe because my rep is low)
And maybe looking at this:
I think maybe My common knowledge can't keep up with the quality that apparently some of you have. Makes me wonder Why these threads have a moderator or something to guide people if they misunderstand something?
I mean look at the usefulness and simplicity that this comment has:
Now that's what I call a quality comment.Loner-Magixxar, a little tip. Check out the other entries for naming conventions of variables.(It's supposed to follow standard submission guidelines.)

So turns out I forgot how user defined globals worked. I was halfway through my spell when I remembered that if I set a variable in one trigger, I can refer to it from another one -__-

If they are Temp variables you can index tham and use each index in each trigger. That was what I did.

or just create temp variables respective to their triggers(e.g. udg_MySpell_Caster for On Cast, meanwhile udg_MySpell_EnumUnit on Loop)

@Loner-Magixxar,
Why exactly are you bashing me? I would accept my mistake if I had made one in the first place. The only thing that I meant with my first post is exactly what your "good commment" by IcemanBo, says - a tip. I just advised you to attach your code or an image instead of the actual map (and if you still want to do the map WIP, it's better to attach the map rather than linking it to a pastebin) because it is more convenient to check for users.
I'm curious to hear what you call "an unnecessary comment of mine". You're just accusing me of something I haven't done.

I'm sorry for these uncertainties with uploading or with not uploading entries in spells section.
We should definitly prevent misunderstanding for this in the future.
But BPower said he handles it, and it is a very good solution.

JASS is a horrible language.

Just a silly question, is it allowed to have multiple entries? If so, how will affect the score? Will it be judged individually?

Forget my previous WIP. I have a new concept and I'm gonna make it final, no more changing. I hope I will be able to finish it, though.

Guys I'm dropping out; my spell making skills dropped out on me. Can't make the mother and child circles spin around each other. Sad.
Gl hf to the other contestants ^^
I'll be using the results of this contest to further my understanding of spell-making. *Evil laugh fades proportionally to increasing distance between me and this post*

Question here.
Is one judging criteria also how well the spell fits the WC3 standard, or rather is this part of the concept or visuals?

I just noticed, why didn't we gave more emphasis on the coding? Currently, point system is
Code: 20, Concept: 10, Visuals: 10
wherein the previous was
Code: 25, Concept: 15, Visuals: 10

@dingo
Not at all, but since we are talking about standards, spell should have 3 or more levels

Hummmmm okay, well let's see how it goes then.
I feel like most of the contestants spawn a whole army of creeps with their spells, btw. Could make it imbalanced. This is also another point I was thinking by writing wc3 standards, because 90-95% of the wc3 standard heroes can't summon multiple creeps with one spell (except for a few, like keeper of grove's force of nature or archimonde's dark portal).
And considering that, I think once we get to the poll, voting users probably will value those mass-summon spells more.
