This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
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.
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.

Yeah but it's more efficient. I don't think beginners would be confused with a merged trigger at all.

in your cast trigger this must be placed in an ITE and you have to check to see if AW_Index is 0 if using at beginning of your trigger.

It's only moving the effect, so I.. doubt that would be necessary. Is that ITE really needed? I mean it would have no effect if the trigger is already turned on or not.

It isn't good practice to keep turning on loop triggers if they are already on.

I think it is necessary to set to 0.03 period because the effect sometimes can be far of the unit xD
Anyway I like it
The idea is quite cool and it works properly except this effect and the damage loop that should be 0.03

I know, but that's not really what I'm aiming for; it's supposed to be some kind of a disappearing eye that blinks(?) to the target.

Ah ^^'.
But i truly think it can be better with 0.03 ^^

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).

is this really flawless?
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions) leak..
or it's not leak?
