Slams the ground with the Crypt Lord's massive claws, shooting spiked tendrils out in a straight line, dealing damage and hurling enemy ground units into the air in their wake then moves Crypt Lord to the last spike. |n|n|cffffcc00Level 1|r - 80 damage, 3 second stun. |n|cffffcc00Level 2|r - 110 damage, 5 second stun. |n|cffffcc00Level 3|r - 180 damage, 7 second stun.

The triggering looks ok, but you don't need to null the globals though. It's not that unique, but I doubt one more will hurt.

  • Set Impale_Target_Point[1] = ((Position of Impale_Caster) offset by 665.00 towards (Facing of Impale_Caster) degrees)
That leaks a location. Position of unit is one location, the offset location is another.

Spell not MUI due to using waits and globals-> it won't be approved.

The spell is pretty decent, if you fix these issues.
 
the test map itself is lacking.


you need to at least present your spell with some generic triggers, like vision of the whole map, removing the victory conditions, and placing some enemies near the hero.


as for the spell, i havent looked at the script yet, but so far i can see that you are using some dummy ability that shows up after you use the spell, which is not a good thing.
and for me, the impale only came up once, then i never saw the spikes again.
also this is more like, Impale, then Teleport, not Impale while moving toward enemy.

overall, lacking.

Set point1 = position of unit
Set point2 = point1 offset by...

That will fix the location leak.

Add another Crypt Lord into the map and cast the spell with both units as quickly as you can. You'll see that it doesn't work correctly for the first unit that cast the spell. When the second unit casts the spell, the variables get overwritten.

Doesn't look too "peachy" right now. Far from Approval at this point, but could you at least change the name? (DotA-ish both in concept and name)
Your first upload was of a spell already in existence and widely known, not too much originality there,eh? (And P.S. - a 7 second stun for lvl 3 ?...)

- Rating 2/5 (fix , tweak it)
- Voting for Rejection (until further improvements)

You have Description in the map.
For Burrow Strike you need to :
1. Pick up all abilities from object editor.
2. Pick up all buffs from objects editor.
3. You can create new or use this dummy.
4. Go to Prefences and turn on : Automaticaly create unknown variables while pasting trigger data.
5. Now you need copy the Burrow Strike to your map.
FINISHED
!!HAVE FUN!!









If you want you can add credit to Aneszej or 88WarCraFT3.

Leaks:
  • Set BS_Angle = (Angle from (Position of BS_Caster) to BS_Target_Point)
  • Environment - Create a 0.25 second wave deformation from (Position of BS_Caster) to...
Terrain deformations can cause desyncs in multiplayer, I don't recommend using them.

This should be inside the loop, otherwise it causes leaks:
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_BS_Move_Point)
You don't have to null globals; the caster angle and facing.

The spell is kind of simple, but decent.

88Warcraft, i don't know, never done this, but i hope this is how to make this thing MUI.

Should look a littl like this.
  • Burrow Strike?
    • Events:
      • Unit - Unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions:
      • (Ability being cast) equal to Burrow Strike
    • Actions:
      • Set Mui=(Mui+1)
      • Set Caster[Mui]=(Triggering Unit)
      • Set Facing[Mui]=(Facing of (Triggering Unit))
      • Set Distance[Mui]=15.00
      • Trigger - Turn on Burrow Loop<gen>
  • Burrow Loop
    • Events:
      • Time - Every 0.04 Seconds of Game-Time
    • Conditions:
    • Actions:
      • Set Position[Mui]=(Position of (Caster[Mui]))
      • Set Position_Off[Mui])=(Position[Mui] offset by Distance[Mui] facing Facing[Mui])
      • Unit - Move Caster[Mui] to Position_Off[Mui]
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Position[udg_Mui])
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Position_Off[udg_Mui])
      • Set Caster[Mui]=No Unit
      • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
WTF? I don't know how to remove [] positions. WE, you get the idea. (Don't use mine, it's an example)

Hope you got it ;)

I knew that it wasn't Mui after i went through another spell. Fu hashtablorz, use indexing!! ;D (i'm sorry, i don't understand hashtablez, that's why meh doing stuff like that)
EDIT: And yeah, i did read some tutorials about hashtablez
 
hmmm... an instant burrowstrike... I guess its more useful if this isnt instant.

btw an instant burrowstrike can be made by editing the default impale (you can change the effects there) and then just teleport the caster using a trigger, it will only be just a few lines (only 3 lines of action in GUI)

anyway, coding looks fine...
