The triggering looks ok and the spell is really original.
The only thing I noticed is that units that have been abducted still got the "Abductie" buff after they have been abducted. Otherwise the spell looks good.

Alright!! I figured them out. The bug that made it not work sometimes was because I used timers. I replaced these with arrayed variables that are reduced, The time may not be right, but it is close. So if you feel like getting out a stop watch and seeing how far off it is, please post on here what you got.

The one with it not picking up previously abducted units was because who wants sloppy seconds??? ROFL, just kidding. I was because the flying height doesnt reset to zero when the unit gets set back down. SO they became off afterwards. Fixing that was like trying to find a needle in a hayFIELD. But thanx to bulk quantities of Hostess Cupcakes, Mountain Dew, and Visine, its done and works fine now.

@ Jrba
THat is no longer a bug, it was due to me adding each affected unit in the spell to a unit group and have the action trigger cycle throught the groups and raise or lower the units as needed. UNFORTUNATELY secondary triggers dont cycle through unit groups properly, so i removed them and it does each unit individually.

WOW really great idea and good for space based maps i didn't download it yet but i will soon. i give this a 5/5 on idea before downloading.

Okay I've found a bugg, it's like this: If you use abduction on a morphed unit(the morph effect after return) the abduction doesn't work.
And if you use the spell like 10 times at same unit it will at least once stop(UFO never leaves(the spell was used with about 10sec between each time)
also sometimes when you use the spell in a very quick interval(2 times or more) UFO sometimes leaves after about 0.1sec (it doesnt even pick up the target)

Jrba is totally right about those bugs i got the same ones.

What bugs? You found one? If you did tell me. I tested and tested this thing yesterday. I have fixed all the bugs previously posted by other people.

And dont get my rep positive please ........... I like my RED gem, its unique and I had to work hard for it.

 

[Rmx]

I will give u +REP until u have a green GEM LOOOL Just kidding.

 

[Just_Spectating]

getting red gems is pretty easy when you just start no?


About the Spell:

this is in a lot of ways unbalanced.

many games would just totally abuse this ability, but nevertheless it sounds funny.

Nice to know you're still around Guishiu

 

[Deuterium]

Guishiu... this still bugs where the allien ship just stays in the map and doesn't disappear...

 

[X-OMG-X]

Duhh Deuterium! Double posting!

 

[Guishiu]

Im back after 2 years! ROFL
I needed some help finding an old map so I decided to look around here again.

Anyway, I fixed all the bugs in this spell when I stopped coming here.
