Enter map-specific custom script code below. This text will be included in the map script after variables are declared and before any trigger code.
Name Type is_array initial_value
DG_Angle real No
DG_Attach_Target string No
DG_Caster unit No
DG_CastingTime real No
DG_Collision real No
DG_CurrentDist real No
DG_Damage real Yes
DG_Group group No
DG_Life real No
DG_Target unit No
DG_TargetEffect string No
DG_Timer real No

DGDamageLoop real No
DGPoint1 location No
DGPoint2 location No
DGTargetKey integer No
HashGrip hashtable No
The three first variables set de total damage per level. If you change these values, be sure to change them also in the tooltip of the hero ability.

The DG_CastingTime variable sets the duration of the grip, you can change as you will, but some units can cast faster than others, so, 1.35 is ideal for the death knight hero.

The DG_TargetEffect variable is a string, so, you can write the path of any effect you want.
The DG_Attach_Target variable is a string for determining the attach point on the target.

The DG_Collision variable sets the distance between the caster and the target in the end of the spell.
