To import, simply copy all the Dummy units/Dummy Spells/Buffs and Variables which correspond with the spell you wish to import into your map. For example - "Absolute" prefixes would be variables for Absolute Zero and also copy/paste the Frozen2/FrozenDummy2/Frozen Buff and the Absolute Zero Nova. Oh and copy the triggers as well.

I might as well explain the rest :

=Frost Wave=

-Both triggers
-All general variables which don't have a prefix such as "Caster" and anything leftover really.
-Freezing Breath model unit/FrozenDummy
-The dummy spell and the Frozen spell as well. Also copy the Frozen buff too.

=Icy Meteor=

-All three triggers would be fine, but you can include the init in the first trigger.
-The DummyMeteor unit.
-The dummy spell/just change the silence buff by getting rid of the target effect.
-All the variables with the prefix "Meteor".




I believe that's all you gotta do. Thanks for downloading and trying out my spells. I really appreciate, even if you're just gonna state that it's too simple to be approved lol. Feedback/constructive criticism is always welcome.

Well, i don't know what to put here. I guess i would state that i couldn't really find a much better way to "launch" the "projectile" except by using the move to angle from point1 to point2 blah. Have a look around the triggers, they're really simple.
