Maker: Issues with the spell are too numerous
for me to go through one by one.
These include but are not limited to
-Unneeded arrays within arrays
-Moving 7 dummies per instance every 0.03 seconds
-Picking random dummy caster
-Filtering out dummy units from unit group picks
-Trigger being on when they are not needed

People love Pudge, haha.

• Unit - Set level of RotOnAbility for (Triggering unit) to (Level of RotLearnAbility for (Triggering unit))

You use this three times? I suggest at least you merge the first two after the first ITE because you do it either way. The third time is understandable.

I suggest you not set RotPicked to no unit (aka. nulling), since it will be used again. Global nulling is reserved for arrayed variables. I like the loop formula though. I also suggest you only use one Rot dummy for slowing universally. That will save a lot of unit creation and unneeded actions.

P.S. The trigger you posted for Rot Off is Rot Loop's.

Is it really hard to use in-game screenshot? Please, pay attention to our rules, otherwise this can get insta-rejected.

Use INGAME Screenshot......

• Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Why you turn off this trigger?...
.... this is better call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger())

• For each (Integer RotInt[3]) from 0 to 7, do (Actions)

So you starting in 0 to 7?
must be 1 to 8........ so readable

in trigger loop

• Unit - Create 1 RotDummyCaster for RotPlayer[RotInt[1]] at TempPoints[1] facing Default building facing degrees

So you think this is good... :/ nah should be look in Scorescreen
you will give a overwhelming score
and this dummy only a slow so... you dont need damage
change to RotPlayer[RotInt[1]] to Neutral Passive
REMEMBER: If you dont need damage those dummies, keep using neutral passive

 

[dark09cry]

Yeah.. Yeah... but why do you need screenshots??? It's Pudge... about 1 to 8 can't do that because I'm using it like this...

local integer i = 0
loop
exitwhen i >= 7
angle = i * 45
i = i + 1
endloop

 

[Ironside]

Easy, for i = 1 to 8, angle = (i - 1) * 45.

Though it doesn't really matter whether it goes from 0 to 7 or 1 to 8.

 

[GywGod133]

You should follow the rules....

Though it doesn't really matter whether it goes from 0 to 7 or 1 to 8

Yep, its just a same..

 

[dark09cry]

Yup... you got a point... but as a programmer you tend to do stuff likewise...

 

[Vinz]

Nice, you've added a screenshot. Boss style.

Unfortunately have to spread...

 

[Lender]

nice... 6 triggers? really? Rot is such a super simple spell... why the hell u need 6 triggers for it?

RotInt shouldn't be an array since its just an indexer of instances
I doubt that u use about 8000 Temporary Integers at the same time.

make RotInstance, TempInt1 , TempInt2 ... instead
same goes for TempPoints..

• Set RotClouds[RotInt[0]] = (Random 0 units from (Units in (Playable map area)))

thats nonsense..

AFAIK if you remove an ability that is on a heros learn list and readd it, it will still be on the learn page so why to use 1 more ability for it?

• Set RotPicked = (Picked unit)
• Unit - Move RotPicked instantly to TempPoints[0]
• Set RotPicked = No unit

why? use directly (picked unit) if u don't use it more then once..

• Set RotPicked = (Picked unit)
• Unit - Remove RotPicked from the game

same...

• Unit - Order (Random unit from RotClouds[RotInt[1]]) to Undead Necromancer - Cripple RotPicked

don't u have a caster for that? why need for a random unit?...

• Set RotCaster[RotInt[2]] = RotCaster[RotInt[0]]
• Set RotCount[RotInt[2]] = RotCount[RotInt[0]]
• Set RotDamage[RotInt[2]] = RotDamage[RotInt[0]]
• Set RotLevel[RotInt[2]] = RotLevel[RotInt[0]]
• Set RotPlayer[RotInt[2]] = RotPlayer[RotInt[0]]
• Set RotRadius[RotInt[2]] = RotRadius[RotInt[0]

care to explain?Oo

this is just bad, I really got fed up with these "pudge" spells

I tot we can use Immolation to make the rot damage, and add unit into trigger when nearby enemy takes damage. After that, slow the target?

Yeah, actually, this ability doesn't need to be coded. And you can use endurance aura for the slow effect (negative value for movement factor field).

 

[Maker]

The triggering is not up to par with the spell database standards. I suggest you ask for comments in this thread or post in Triggers and Scripts subforum.
