WHAT THIS SPELL DO:
hello,
===============================================================================================
The Abettor
A hero calls his ally to help him in battle. On casting, some percentage of the life of the summoned unit is dealt as damage to the target. The summoned unit lasts for a period of time. When the target dies, the summoned unit will instantly disappear. Each level, a new stronger unit is summoned. Though the summoned unit is timed, I want it that he (the summoned unit) cand still be controlled by the owner of the summoned unit.
Last: 10/20/30 seconds
Damage Dealt: 15 % life of the summoned unit
Summoned units: Bandit/Rogue/Bandit Lord
===============================================================================================
How to Import:
Just copy the triggers or the folder named "Arbettor" and the variables into your map. You may also want to copy the custom ability in this map into your map.
NOTE:
PLease give credits to me if you use this spell in your map.
thank you,
eubz
===============================================================================================
Thanks to Hanky's Dynamic endixer.
CHANGE LOGS.
1. First version - The summoned unit is ordered to attack the target. He is also summoned just beside the caster.
2. Second version - The damage is triggered, summoned unit is given locust ability so his owner will not be able to control him. Giving him this ability makes the spell awkward and then adding an action to play attack animation for the summoned unit makes it more awkward. Here, I decided to add some more action that, whenever the target unit moves away from the summoned unit, the summoned unit still follows the target. This even makes the spell more awkward.
3. Third version (present version) - Creates the summoned unit just beside the target. Deleted the locust ability so the owner of the summoned unit can control him. The action ordering the summoned unit to attack the target is now deleted (in fact, the summoned unit will always attack the target for all targets of this spell are caster's enemies).

-------- ============================================================== --------
-
-------- =============YOU CAN CONFIGURE THE VALUES BELOW=========== --------
-
-------- you can configure the damage dealt by the summoned unit. --------
-
Set Ab_Damage = 25.00
-
-------- you can configure the time. --------
-
-------- this is also multiplied by the level of the ability --------

Set Ab_Time = 10.00

-------- ============================================================== --------
-
-------- configure the damage dealt to the target during the cast --------
-
Set Ab_damage_percent = 6.67
-
-------- using 6.67 in damage_percent means 15% --------
-
-------- the formula is: Timed_Damage[integer] = (((Life of u[integer]) x (Real((Level of Cripple (Neutral Hostile) for caster[integer])))) / damage_percent) --------
-
-------- so, if life of the summoned unit is 250, multiply that to the level of the ability divided by the damage_percent, that's the real damage dealt to the target unit --------
-
-------- using this configuration, the damage would be: --------
-
-------- Level 1 = 35.982008 or just 36 to round this off --------

Isn't it better to combine the "Arb init" and the "Arb create" triggers together?
Nice spell! I like it a lot!

No, it's a rule not to combine it, and the spell will be a mess if it will be combined.

Jesus! I also use Hanky's dynamic indexing system, but i combine those triggers into one trigger and everything works well... you can see my spells just below this text and see that it's true!
Or maybe we are talking about different things... but i think we aren't because he just sets the variables that can be modified by the user in a separate trigger, while i set them in the trigger where the spell is being casted.
Nevermind, it's not a big problem (if it's a problem at all). Nice spell!

It is more efficient to have them separated. Init only runs once, while spell cast runs every time the spell is cast, and every time it does it will reset those variables.
It is unneeded to merge them.

Well, I still go with separating configurables and place it under initialization.
Edit:
Maddeem is right.
