Instructions on how to move into your map :
This spell uses a Unit indexing system, (not created by me)
1. Copy Custom Map script, Top part of triggers
2. Copy Unit Indexer (gen)
3. Copy Abilitiy (Cloudspin) and Unit (Cloudspin Dummy)
4. Copy Cloud Spin int and Cloud Spin loop (gen) and Preload Spell <gen>
Changelog
Minor change to layout of triggers, so that spell shall stop if caster is dead or stunned.
Added Integer, to detect when no spells are running to turn off the trigger.
Changed back to TempPoint and TempPoint2,
Removed CS_CasterPoint. Fixed minor bugs.
Changed the hotkey,
Fixed the same trigger (changed loop order)
Increased Duration of spell to 1.7 with a increase of 1.7.
Changed the hotkey... again
Added new Unit Indexer.
Fixed the Cant Raise Does Not Decay for Dummy
- Made it so the CloudSpin Dummy units do not get a customvalue, this will cut down on the increase of customvalue.
Added new Trigger "Preload Spell"
*The first level AoE is really small, I was standing right next to a spider and the spell didn't damage it.
*Remove invulnerability from the dummy, it has Locus which makes it invulnerable.
*Set dummy to Can't raise, does not decay. That way it gets removed from the game sooner.
*Reduce the sight range of dummies.
*Do SpellIndex Equal to 0 check only after you subtract from SpellIndex, not during every loop
*Filter out dead units in the unit group pick.
*Uinits with locust do not have collision, you don't need to turn it off.
*Change the variable names, they are too generic. Give them CS prefix for example.
Nice, but for what you use that jass trigger ? Cause i don't understand it :P
But how much i've seen this reminds me on water shield on youtube, "reminds" which doesn't means it is :P
Gj :)

Thankyou for your feedback,
i have jsut updated all that you have suggested, tell me if any other "Simple errors" remain that i did not spot.
Use the update button instead of deleting the spell everytime and uploading a new one. Yes the update button does work, click refresh after you update to see the changes, THW is weird like that, were it won't update a page with new information until it gets refreshed.

I know just sometimes i upload, and refresh and the changes are still not made. Only done it too me once so far...
Anyways, any feedback on the spell?
Why I think CS_CasterPoint[Key] is referring to Center of (Playable map area) ???
When I use this spell, the spiral is made at Center of (Playable map area)!!! Can u fix this plz???
I have replaced the function:
Set TempPoint = (CS_CasterPoint[TempKey] offset by CS_Distance[TempKey] towards CS_Angle[TempKey] degrees)
with:
Set TempPoint = ((Position of CS_Caster[Key]) offset by CS_Distance[TempKey] towards CS_Angle[TempKey] degrees)
and it succeeded. That's maybe because you have set 'CS_CasterPoint[Key]' then used 'CS_CasterPoint[TempKey]'
1st Leak
You didn't remove 'CS_CasterPoint[Key]'
2nd Leak
You didn't set 'CS_CasterPoint[TempKey]' to use
Maybe if you put this function in Cloud Spiral Loop:
Set CS_CasterPoint[TempKey] = (Position of CS_Caster[Key])
That will fix the problem.
Don't forget removing locations...

Anyway, it's nice spell!
Thanks for the feedback,
i have completely removed, CasterPoint. And just added TempPoints.
So that it will be easy to remove the locations without any leaks.
The updated Unit Indexer is much easier to install if you'd prefer the easiest setup possible. It doesn't require the map header script any more and would encourage more downloads for the spells that use it.

Thanks for that,
Updated the spell to use the newly updated Indexer.
Will possibly make different systems/spells using your system to advertise it.
