Burning Waves JASS [v1.0]

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Oh YEAH jass is great + i not need to bother anymore translating triggers :D

ok... The caster summons evil fire in a line ahead the point damaging the area
waves and damage increases with each level
easy to make it one level or 55 levels :)
almost all in the spell are easly configurable
i think i removed all the leaks this time
FULLY MUI TESTED!
Hard to take screenshots srry

IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.


Maker, Burning Waves JASS v1.0, 11:20, 12th Nov 2011

Use coordinates, not locations.
set spellX = GetSpellTargetX() for example.
Hotkeys are wrong.
Learn tooltip level 3 data is missing "damage".
Learned tooltip has an extra space.
Get rid of the BJ functions.
I think you should enumerate units within radius and use a filter function to damage units. UnitDamagePoint damages all units.
If you're using only two indexes of an array, it is better to make two non-array variables.
Waves function should return an integer.
LoopsSpell should be an integer. You don't have to set it to 0 at the end.
Trigger sleep action gives random results. A 0.1 second wait is either 0.1, 0.125, 0.15, 0.175 or 0.2 seconds, chosen seemingly randomly. Maybe timers would work better here.

1. Don't use bj functions.
2. Don't use locations (instead use coordenates)
3. Its not recommended that you use TriggerSleepAction
4. Move the actions to Condition function

set Loopspell = 0 is not necessary, you're already set the value when you declare it.

JASS:
call AddLightningLoc( RAY_ID1, GetUnitLoc(caster), curentwave )
        set wavesray[1] = GetLastCreatedLightningBJ()

->

set wavesray[1] = AddLightningLoc( RAY_ID1, GetUnitLoc(caster), curentwave )

Mmm... you need to use a timer instead the loop.

Sry for my english.
Nice effects :).

i dont know mayber not all BJ are evil (well almost all) but now use cordinates because is a facing spell (360 degrees) ?
how use corretly natives?
why tutorials made quick no explain nothing?
i think set 0 was necesary
what instead of wait then? (i never understanded that)
what exatly you mean with condition function??? is a cond or is a function????? :S
thanx or the corrections man

I don't know why is lagging on the first cast, maybe is TimerUtils?

Another thing, to make aoe damage, you need to have a group.

JASS:
local group g = CreateGroup()
local unit j

loop
    set j = FirstOfGroup(g)
    exitwhen j == null
    call GroupRemoveUnit(g, j)
    
    // make the damage
    // the target would be "j"
    call UnitDamageTarget(...)
endloop

call DestroyGroup(g)
set g = null

Mmm, yes, I can recommend you one library for the lightning effects.
Uh... I forget to comment the code, sorry (I'll/will I) comment it now.

Here you go:

JASS:
