(Q)Magic Orbs - [Level: %d]
The hero sends five magic orbs to the target. The orbs spins around him up to 10 seconds, then start to travel to the target position. When the orbs impacts the target, deals damage to him and the units closer. When the orbs are alive, hits to the closer units.

Level 1 - The target receives 150 damage, and the closer units 90. The orbs deals 232 per second to the closer units.
Level 2 - The target receives 200 damage, and the closer units 135. The orbs deals 300 per second to the closer units.
Level 3 - The target receives 250 damage, and the closer units 180. The orbs deals 367 per second to the closer units.
Level 4 - The target receives 300 damage, and the closer units 225. The orbs deals 433 per second to the closer units.

Amount of orbs: 5
Area of effect: 325/375/425/475
Area of effect of orbs: 70/90/110/130
Duration: 10 seconds

The code is incredibly decent.

  • When the target unit dies, all orbs around him should just die out too.
  • The filters should be configurable. To achieve this, you need to
    write functions right under the globals that take the caster, the
    target and maybe the player, and you would decide whether the
    target is valid or not.
  • In the init function, instead of bj_lastCreatedUnit, you could use
    a local unit variable. If you don't want to use a local, then what you
    should do is /not/ null bj_lastCreatedUnit because it's a global, so
    you really don't need to.
  • Before you destroy the struct instances, you should null the
    handles inside it:
    JASS:
    set mo.orb = null
    set mo.caster = null
    set mo.target = null
    set mo.eff = null

edit
Approved.


  • TRUE -> true
  • FALSE -> false
  • You forgot to null the local unit inside the preload function :c
  • You forgot to null the effect .eff in the stuct :c
  • Instead of SetUnitPosition, use SetUnitX and SetUnitY (They're a lot faster and better because they ignore collision)
  • It would probably be better to cache the owner of the caster into a struct member.

Also, I love you.

The version is different of your warcraft patch!
try th lates! ;) also ples show th version patch!

Why can not run your map???

When I try to start it,just will not go and throw me out of the game

You can't open it because you need the Jass New Gen Pack editor for the world editor!

Can download here:
Jass New Gen Pack

NOTE: You have to add the folder named 'jassnewgenpack5d' into the ANTIVIRUS EXCEPTIONS! Then open the map, save it (wait to the jasshelper runs) and inmediatly TEST IT!

I did not even try to open it with an editor.The game will not launch map.
Otherwise I have the last patch

This map "Fan Of Toxic Knives" work fine.
Well I do not understand what the problem!
