[JASS] Adding a special effect

[Quetzalcotl]

Hey guys, I have this knockback spell which uses Kattana's Handle Vars and I'm wondering if there is a way to add some special effect when the target is sliding over the ground.

Firstly, do you have newgen, secondly, do you know that soon you'll have to update your Handle Vars system (I used to use the same one).

just throw away that spell, and get a spell that will work for 1.24 instead

@ Dreadnought[dA]: No I don't have NewGen
@ Ciebron: Why should I throw a spell away that works? I just need a special effect attached ...

Get NewGen.

And don't throw the spell away, but ditch HandleVars - it's inefficient, buggy and outdated. It also won't work with patch 1.24.

You have to throw it away because your system which uses the H2I function will bug with the new 1.24 patch, which disables H2I's return bug. Besides, there are many more much more efficient systems which use JNGP you could use instead.

I highly recommended getting NewGen. It lets you color tooltips, and makes code a lot easier to work with.

Moogle, H2I is replaced by GetHandleId - you can just do a search-and-replace in the code.
