Lashes Target with its own Sins, dealing damage on cast and little later.
Click to expand...

I don't know much about balancing, but I can already tell that this spell is highly inbalanced. Balance the numbers yourself.
In this spell I used non-arrayed variables (except for Angle Variables), thus having alot more work with finding right variables to use, so this should be somekind of excuse for a mistake ;)

IcemanBo: For long time as NeedsFix. Rejected.

Bribe:

Recommend caching some variables before entering loops - (Owner of Caster) should be set to a variable (Could literally be simplified as (Triggering player))

Same with ((Current flying height of Target) + 70.00) - obviously this isn't going to change from within the loop, so qualify it before entering the loop so that you don't waste function calls & math.

In Death Penalty Spin, you should move "Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point3)" into the if-block where Point3 was set, in order to avoid "removing" a location which was already removed (null). This is a logical improvement and a slight efficiency improvement.

You are using custom value of units in this trigger as well, which conflicts with other systems that might use it. Please do everything in the hashtable (good) or get a GUI unit indexing system (great).

The hashtable creating should have it's own trigger in the spell folder. Also set all configurable variables there, like SFxes and speeds. Don't set things in the looping triggers that should only be set once in a init trigger.
Rename the variables that are spesific for this spell, like the hashtable. Give them some prefix.
Combine the damage lines:
  • Set Damage = ((Max life of Target) x (0.10 + (0.05 x (Real((Level of Death Penalty for Caster))))))
  • Set Damage = (Damage / 2.00)
Angles array variable could be one non array variable. You don't need to use more than one index, thus an array should not be used.
You could use triggering player here instaed of owner of unit. One less function call.
  • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of Caster) at Point1 facing Default building facing degrees
I think the effects are too large. Make the radiuss which is 600, configurable.
The latter point3 removal line is in wrong place here:
  • For each (Integer LoopVariable) from 1 to SFXes, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set DummyUnit = (Load (5 + LoopVariable) of IDHandle in Hashtable)
      • Set Point2 = (Position of DummyUnit)
      • Set Point3 = (Point1 offset by 600.00 towards ((Angle from Point1 to Point2) + Speed) degrees)
      • Unit - Move DummyUnit instantly to Point3
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point3)
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • LoopsForASFX2 Equal to PlaySFXInteger
        • Then - Actions
          • Set Point3 = (Point1 offset by Distance towards ((Angle from Point1 to Point2) + (Real((Custom value of (Picked unit))))) degrees)
          • -------- NOTE 2: Change your SFX played HERE! --------
          • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Point3 using Abilities\Spells\Undead\OrbOfDeath\AnnihilationMissile.mdl
          • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Else - Actions
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point2)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point3)


Overall the triggering is good, and the effects are nice. Although the idea is pretty basic, it's still well done. Good spell.
