--------------------------------How to implent this spell into your map?------------------------

What you need:
-> The five triggers named: 'Init Spell' / 'Rotation MUI' / 'Birds Spell Effects' / 'DebugDeadTargetBirds' / 'ResetTriggers'
-> The custom object editor datas with the '(MB)' suffix.
-> Every variable with an 'A_' prefix.




What to do:
-> Import the five triggers as well as the variables and the custom object editor datas.
(-> You can adjust the model of the 'Birds (MB)' unit to change the model of the birds. Try around for further adjustments of the spell ;) )


If you need further help or if you´ find any suggestions, bugs, etc, just mail me at '[email protected]'.
