NEEDS FIX

  • The ability is MUI
  • The ability is leakless
  • The ability has a fitting effect
  • The tooltip is nice
126248-albums6177-picture66522.png


  • The ability does not detect all units.
    I placed 100 peasants near the caster and 7 were left without the buff

  • The importing instructions could say that the ability and dummy need to be set
    correctly in the trigger, as the can refer to wrong objects when
    importing the ability into another map
  • You could rename the hashtable variable, the name is too generic
  • Increase the follow through time a bit
  • You could null the location variables you remove to avoid
    minor leaks

  • Radar Loop should be initially off
  • You could rename the dummy Faerie Fire ability
    so it is not confused with the original
  • You might not need to order the dummy to cast FF on itself
  • Increase the follow through time a bit

Updated to v1.1

Changed the fearie fire name, changed the importing instructions, fixed a few redundancies in the code.

I played for about 15 minutes with different methods of invisible detection but none of them would work (including truesight, wards, dust, and farsight). The truesight would "lag", and by the time the invisible unit was visible the wave had already passed. I couldn't find a real solution to this problem. As it is, the radar is currently a visible units only ability.
