Thunder Blade v1.1 Gui [S]quiggy 2oo9
===============================
Well good day, dear reader.
We've got lots to do, so lets start right away.

Thunder Blade consists of 3 Triggers:
-tb1 / tb2 and tbper

The spell needs all the dummies:
-tbdummy / tbdummy2 and tbdummy3

The spell needs all 4 abilities and both buffs.

So, import all of them into your map now.
================================
Great, now that you're done, we can move on with a short description of thunder blade:
The first trigger does nothing spectacular besides creating dummies in the air and making them head towards flying height 0 (That's the ground)

Now for the second:
As soon as one of the dummies dies, one dummy is being created which server us for some effects (lightning shield).
Also, all units inside the area of effect (300 - 500 - 700) are being paused and some buff is aded to them for a better visuality.
Next is, that the trigger creates one new dummy for each 'dead' dummy and make it face outwards every 36 degrees.
Last is the switch to turn on the periodic trigger.

Said periodic trigger moves the dummies until their custom value equals the AoE and then makes them stop and add some effects.

As I'm sure that you understood until now, we shall proceed with 'tb1'
