and leaving

• Set BAmr_SPEF_YPR[3]

to 0.00
4D - Note that we set

• Set BAmr_SPEF_YPR[2]

as Pitch will not mimic the warcraft 3 style of degrees as "90 for north, 0 for east." and must instead have 1.57 added [essentially ((90 x 3.14) / 180) = 1.57]

Bribe - for his ever-so-useful-systems that make my life so much easier!

KILLCIDE - for his patience and our time cleaning up my triggers.

D4rk_G4ND4LF - for his earlier attempts at damage shields that inspired me to make this.

Foopad - for his work on my original request loooong time ago for a damage shield ability (Aka Ruined flesh from age of conan game.) back when us GUI dudes were banging rocks together.

Weep - for his Early Damage detection system.

Pinzu - for the player colour shield flare suggestion (Added in Bone Armor 1.08)

Hermit - for his Spirit Touch model allowing for different shield flare colours. (Added in Bone Armor 1.08)

Hermit AGAIN - for his Hexagon Shield Model - Allowing not only player colours as per the previous model, but with fancy futuristic animated hexagons perfect for any Protoss shield!

Vexorian - Excellent dummy model (Retired, using special effects to avoid using dummies)

Looking_For_Help - Hashtable variant damage system

MyPad - Suggesting to add "Stacking" & fixing the casting effect bug.

Spellbound - Suggesting RGB Addition to Segments

Blizzard & Diablo 2 - My inspiration for the *cough* BLATANT COPY *cough* Necromancer's Abilities, and their wonderful editor that still manages to entertain me +16 years later.

Release1.13.1 2019-05-01 at 4:49PM (PST)
- Bugfix on Shield Life Display (Not required!) - Destroying a segment would result in the floating text lingering...

Release 1.13 - 2019-04-30 at 3:00pm (PST)
- Major -

1. Added SEM - Simple Effect Mode, turns off the floating segments and makes it a singular effect overhead the target, Fade & Shrinking effects will still work provided the effect is not attached as special effect modification does not work on attached special effects. (Please refer to turtle of the cosmos for why blizzard has done this)
   
2. Added Shield Life display option to test map tome, this displays the individual life of segments (i.e. 300 total shields will result in 100 each (assuming default values)

-Minor-

1. Overhauled triggers to include SEM
2. Added SEM modifcations to bottom of Config, i.e. defaults for regular segments will not work for SEM, if SEM is on these modifications will overwrite allowing you to choose which one you want, note this is rather buggy on the Shield Life Display so do be careful!
3. Angrily stared at variables in config to make sure nothing is duplicated or not connected to values elsewhere in the main triggers.
4. Added some Boolean commands as I (can't be arsed)felt they didn't need to be added to the options, Type "Bones" followed directly with "Stack", "Skins", "Dim", "Fade", or "SEM" to toggled the respective Booleans found in the configuration. (example "BonesStack")

• Details of Commands:
  Stack - Toggle Shield Stacking boolean, shields will now simply add the base cast on the current shield of the target
  
  Skins - Toggle Player Colour Shield Flare, default is set to chosen flavor, if toggled it will be set to player color
  
  Dim - Toggle Shield Flare "Dimming", Shield Flare will dim based on health of the shield
  
  Fade - Toggle Fade of Segments, Segments will fade based on health of the shield
  
  SEM - Toggle SEM, SEM removes the orbiting segments and creates only one overhead effect. (Might be buggy? Be Wary if you see anything!)
