A month and ten days ago, I suggested a hero with this spell to PlayDotA. However, IceFrog never seems to look at the forums, so I decided to drop it and use it for myself.

-----------------------
The Watcher gathers all her knowledge of the enemy, and causes magical implosions depending on a base damage and the information she has gathered.

Level 1 - Deals base damage x (1.5x Charges) damage, gives +1 charge every 3 seconds the target was visible to the Watcher. 65 base damage.
Level 2 - Deals base damage x (1.6x Charges) damage, gives +1 charge every 2 seconds the target was visible to the Watcher. 75 base damage.
Level 3 - Deals base damage x (1.7x Charges) damage, gives +1 charge every 1 seconds the target was visible to the Watcher. 85 base damage.

Loses one charge every second the target goes out of sight.

Takes 60/40/20 seconds to deal full damage of 900/1275/1445. Cast repeatedly to maximize effect.

                • Else - Actions

Yes, I know, the trigger might not respond very fast due to every 1.00 second. I did it because it seemed fine to me since the dummy has an eye model.

Almost forgot; charge cap for everyone is 10.

Credits to Vexorian for the dummy.

Give credits if you use it in your map.

  • You can do like this on picking units
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • <Put Condition Here>
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add Implode to (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions
  • You can store (Triggering unit) on Arcane Watch Learn trigger, then use it to check the level of Implode inside trigger action
  • You can merge the Arcane Watch and Arcane Watch Implode triggers
  • You can move unit with "call SetUnitX(unit, newX)" and "call SetUnitY(unit, newY)"
  • (Owner of (Unit)) == (Triggering player)

Looks good. Approved. The code is very nice, I can't really see anything too wrong with it.

Just as a tip (to save you some time in the future), you can use "Event response - Triggering Player" in the "Unit starts the effect of an ability..." trigger just to save you some clicking (and it is ever-so-slightly faster, but that shouldn't really be a concern in this case).
