This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
This spell was inspired by Boris_Spiders FireSeige (correct me if the name is wrong)
The icon can be found here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/icons-541/btnfiresiege-154483/
I did this out of the fun of it, I tried to make it a little flashy, there no access sfx, It's all used for some purpose.
it works like this: You use the ability, a fire bolt with a ring of fire around it will fly away, upon landing again it will Explode in a massive explosion releasing 144 small projectiles, (this part reminded me of rain of fire for some reason) each seperate projectile deals a small amount of damage, initial Aoe is about 150, in huge explosion aoe is about 1400, but it is all changeable.
I was thinking of artillary when I made this.
V1.45:
Made a few things configureable.
Fixed a bug found
Added a mana cost
Added a proper range
V1.30:
Small bug fix when casting on the same point as the caster
V1.25:
with the help from D4RK G4ND4LF lag has been pretty much obliterated.
V1.1:
Geatly reduced lag
Reduced Aoe
Changed landing sfx for the smaller projectiles.
V1.0:
First uploaded
Documentation included, Enjoy :]
Please give creadit to me if you use this in your map.
Credz To D4RK G4ND4LF for reducing he movement lag using 1 line of custom script.
Keywords:
Fire, Rain, Rain of Fire, Explosion, Burn, Ring, Volcanic, Sfx spam.

I tested your spell and when the fire bolt hitted the ground it became laggy for like 2 or 3 sec then it was ok.
edit: when 2 person cast in same time, the explosion become super laggy

a big amount of the lag is caused by moving the dummys with the GUI action
if you use
the spell will probably be a lot smoother
if that won't help reduce the dummy count
5 frames per second are unacceptable even if it's GUI
if you use
JASS:
call SetUnitX(unit, real)
call SetUnitY(unit, real)if that won't help reduce the dummy count
5 frames per second are unacceptable even if it's GUI

I found that removing one layer gets rid of most if not all lag, There were alot of them xD if I recall tha standard is 144, 36 per layer 
you can do the same thing by lowing the number of dummies per layer to 75% of what it was which If I'm right is 27,
I will try your method.
Well my lack of knowledge in that area made me fail greatly.
I have lowered the standard to 72 projectiles and 18 per layer to eliminate most the lag.

It lags alot, but i havent the best GPU. It would be nice if you added a random effect to the second fire missiles, so that they dont land in a perfect circle.

Lag is mainly caused by the sfx count, If the comp doesn't like it remove a ring or two, and then your lag will decrease greatly.
As for a random affect on the second missiles, it would need for it to be balanced in every direction if you know what i mean a shape which is symmertrical in pretty much every direction, for example a star, A clover sort of shape.
anyway Any other shape will require new formula so that might take a while

my GPU is quite good (Geforce 9800 GT) but my CPU isn't and I've lags so I think the lag is not caused by the effects but the calculations behind blizzards pathing check
I gave tank commander some example on how to use the SetUnitX/Y and used a custom JASS function in the map header
however it would be easier to inline this cause there would not be any need to copy it then

I tried using this spell in my map. I copied the units, the abilities, and the triggers. But it doesnt work. When i try to save my map, it says theres a error on line 115. Im fairly new to the importing custom spells. Help anyone? The error says "Line 115, Expect a name" or something. I can save the test map. But i cant save it on mine.. How does that work...

hmmm.. Prehaps it's D4RK_G4ND4LF's custom script line that is causing your problem, I beleive you will need JNGP if I recall the name correctly, If I am correct I will put it in the description about the requirement.
If the problem persists after trying JNGP send me a vm about it and I'll see what I can do.
I thank you for pointing this out.

Ok, i use the NG WE (new gen world editor) and i can enable the trigger. The last trigger is fine now. But, theres now a new error popping up for me which is "Line 2856 Undeclared function MoveUnitFast." I've been having trouble lately on usuing the custom spells because my newgen warcarft doesnt work.. Anyways what else does this spell require to use?

I don't want to give a bad rating but this is very misleading, it says GUI / Triggers, yet you use stuff that needs New Gen Pack or w/e , I downloaded it and it still does not work, where do we put the MoveUnitFast function in the header at, because when i put it in the actions of Moving trigger, I get a Syntax error first line of the function MoveUnitFast Declaration, very poor author. . . if you can tell me what to do I would be greatly appreciated, and give a good rating and + rep because this is a cool spell but i can't use it. . .

Put the code in the header into the header of your map if I'm correct.
Also for the misleading, I was unaware of the script in the header when I uploaded this, it took me a while to notice it myself
anyway, what exactly do you mean 'very poor author'?
Eitherway If it still doesn't work then I suggest Talking to D4RK_G4ND4LF, he added it and I don't now exactly how it works.

:/ I'm trying to build in the code as it were so that nobody needs to get the thing from the header (also, the header as it were is the thing you see when you click the map icon in trigger editor, or atleast how I see it.)
However I'm getting one error which is really annoying me:
The error is:
Line 69: Invalid number of arguements
The line causing this is this:
The errors then continue to every single function in the trigger.
I do beleive somehting has gone incredably wrong, I just don't know what :/

Hashtable - Save ((Load 2 of (Key (Picked unit)) from EFB_Hash) + 10.00) as 2 of (Key (Picked unit)) in EFB_Hash

What I was trying to do was because the stupid function wasnt declaring (or i didnt know how to) I would just do what the function was doing but in custom scripts like one line each and i just kept getting errors also, i got to one point where you got the second error at and then i gave up lol

Certainly, If you go into the 'setup' trigger, there will be the configureable settings, for damage it's base damage (per mini projectile) the standard damage is 25 for each one. if you want to change the full calculation formula however you need to go into the initial one (when you cast it) and find the damage formula through the documentation which should guide you.

Thanks you, credits will be given upon use!
EDIT: Can anyone import the spell without any errors?
I'm dying to use it.

Same as meantioned before, Take the script from the map header on CnP then paste it into your own maps header if I remember correctly.

Yeah, it works!!! after my effort to understand what TC said, I copied script from "Custom Script Code" in trigger editor and pasted it into my own map. Also check the triggers especially the ones that involved units and abilities.
Hope this helps
Thanks alot +rep to both of you
