Helluuu another spell because I'm loser noob nerd bor'd -----_-----

Notes: This is MUI of course - but uh.. level 3 is 96 bombs being handled per second. You don't want to use it more than a couple times at once. Of course, how many bombs you drop and all that is configurable.

Changelog:
v1.1 - Changed bj_DEGTORAD stuff, uses mapbounds (thanks Mag), Added a filter, inlined Atan2 and Distance stuff, Took a lot of fluff out, that I feel it didn't need;;; just improved code in generalllll
v1.0 - Initial Release

Thanks to:
- Cohadar for TT
- Nestharus for WorldBounds
- Adikutz for MapBounds
- Mechanical Man & Crusad3r91 for the Fireprism model(bombship)
- zboc for BTNExplosion
- Fingolfin for Marauder Missile model(bombs)
- Hiveworkshop for such a great community :)

I hope you enjoy, I will continuously upgrade this spell.

  • The spell is ok but it lacks a bit of smoothness and polish
126248-albums6177-picture66523.png


  • In FILTER, return IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_FLYING)
  • You don't need a unit variable in Cond
  • Why do you make functions return a boolean when they do not
    need to return anything?
  • The airship could use a sound effect and it appears/disappears abruptly
  • Add follow through time
  • Units with Locust are already invulnerable, no need for Invulnerability ability

  • There's no point in converting the angle from radians to degrees, then back from degrees to radians in some parts of the code. I'd recommend just having GetAngle return the angle in radians and when you need it in degrees, multiple by bj_RADTODEG.
  • You might want to look into MapBounds. It's a tiny extension to WorldBounds and it will make your code shorter, because instead of having to compare the coordinates to the world bounds, you can get x/y coordinates guarenteed to be bounded with a call of a function ;p
  • Could you add the requirements in a list in the documentation with links to the resources to make everything perfectly explicit? (It's in the Submission rules - You need at least an author name, a resource name and a requirements list, along with importing instructions if needed)
  • Could you make the filter you're using inside the Bombs struct configurable easily by the user via a function (UnitFilter) right under all the other configuration functions in your code?

get rid of all of these. bj_DEGTORAD
Click to expand...

yeah sorry I gotta get rid of that in all my spells, it's just that some times I use the GetUnitFacing() so I get confused which ones I have to convert and which ones I don't. My custom GetAngle() currently returns a radians number too. But it shouldn't be that bad. Thanks for your response, always nice to see some kind of feedback :).

- The lvCaster and angle should be below the GetSpellAbilityId()
- remove the RADTODEG so that no need to DEGTORAD
- You may save the level with the damage/aoe etc...at cast time so that you dont need to itinerate it every loop which is very very slow
- Bombs.Start(.caster, .plane) >>> Bombs.Start(.caster, .plane, .play) and put this 'i = 0' above the loop
- make the attack/damage configurable

The current FILTER function can be improved. Instead of having constant booleans, you can just handle all unit type checking within your FILTER function. If you really want to keep the booleans, you should use a static if instead.

Configuration functions should take an integer instead of a unit to save GetUnitAbilityLevel calls. Also, your configuration functions can be constant.

GetDistance and GetAtan is unnecessary. Use the native functions directly.

FirstOfGroup loops can use bj_lastCreatedGroup instead to save you from creating 1 group.
