This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Since so many people are using hashtables and since I wanted to make an unlimited chain hook spell I decided to make this.
This is just an example
(don't contact me if you just want to modify it but please tell me if you use it and give Credits)
For specific description see Tooltip on Screenshot (however it has to say 10 - not 5)
Known bug:
Removing the caster while the spell is running will screw things up.
So don't use "Remove unit" while the spell loop is running
Unfortunately it seems like hashtables still return a unit if it has left the map already so I don't know how to detect it :S
The consequence of all the stuff is the following:
I won't use hashtables ever again unless there really is no other way to do it 'cause they are SLOW!
Have fun with it anyway

doesnt unit groups fuck up if you dont create them at first and just add units to it?
I got that problem anyways but it seems like yours is working but as you dont destroy the group in the end your dont need to check it if it is created
took me a while to read this threw blah what a heck why am I so complaining it is a hell of heck job you got there, gj

Load i of 0 in Hook_Hashtable
i think you mean
Load 0 of i in Hook_Hashtable
right?
EDIT: in the loop (one of your first actions) but i don't know if you have done this somewhere else

unitgroupARRAYS screw up cause only the first one is created on default
so all other array slots have to be initialized with
JASS:
set udg_GroupArray[udg_i] = CreateGroup()also thanks for all the comments everyone
@hellgate
I want to load the target and not the first group segment so it's correct

oh fuck I get it ... indexing ftw with arrayed groups ...
