[GUI] Electrify v1e


The hero throws a lightning ball in the air. When it reaches its limit, it will hit the ground dealing radius damage. It also can destroy trees. Each enemy unit will be pulled toward the lightning ball for a few seconds, which make them unable to move, cast spells or attack.

Level 1 - Deals 75 damage in 250 radius and pull enemies for 1 second.
Level 2 - Deals 125 damage in 300 radius and pull enemies for 1.5 second.
Level 3 - Deals 175 damage in 350 radius and pull enemies for 2 seconds.

v1e:
- Projectile and Pull triggers are now merged into only one. (Loop)
- Now, AoE is stored into a variable when an unit casts the spell.
v1d:
- Fixed DamageDelay Var, where the spell could not work properly if delay > duration.
- Fixed dummy units giving vision.
- Dummy model should now change in the correct time.
- Removed useless IF and some variables.
- Moved some actions from Pull trigger to Projectile trigger.
v1c:
- Renamed two variables:
E0_MinHeight to E0_ProjectileImpactZ;
E0_MaxHeight to E0_ProjectileMaximumZ.
- Added one more variable: E0_ProjectileLaunchZ.
- Improved "How to import", It wasn't clarifying the need to create some variables manually.
- Improved E1_Speed[]. Previously was returning an imprecise value.
v1b:
- When the dummy reaches its maximum height, It will fall down according to the DamageDelayVar.
- Now targets and dummies are moved using coordinates (SetUnitXY).
- Removed a Leak.
v1a:
- Removed Preload Ability
v1:
- Uploaded

There's Documentation and you can see it in the trigger editor. Btw, I still learning english and, yeah, you know...

You need to merge the periodic triggers. Just take the code
of the second one and put it below the code of the first one.

Another thing I would recommend is caching the AoE into a variable
so you don't have to recalculate it each time you do one iteration of
the spell.

Excellent work.

Those loops triggers might as well be one trigger as opposed to two, also what's the purpose of the dummy which is created in the preload section?

I've made 2 triggers, because I thought they could "lag" the game if both of them were in same trigger. And about the dummy part: When you learn a spell for the first time, it might cause little lag. So, I did that to "remove" the lag. If it is useless, tell me, so I can remove it.
