Spell Description
What's This All About: A simple spell that uses the basic action of "Unit - Set Movement Speed". A spell that focuses mainly on disabling. No damage is applied if you use this spell on enemy unit (well unless you trigger a new one OR change the Storm Bolt damage or something).

Spell Name: Chilling Ground

Effect: Sends shiver to enemies in an AOE around targeted point. Once every second, the affected units' movespeed will be reduced (divided) for a set period of time that depends on the level of Chilling Ground. After the chilling effect wears off, there is a secondary effect which is "Frozen" the unit for 2 seconds. "Frozen" lasts 2 seconds at all level.

Ability Table:
Level 1 - Divide affected unit's movespeed by 2 per second | Lasts 2 seconds | 300 AOE | 15 seconds cooldown
Level 2 - Divide affected unit's movespeed by 3 per second | Lasts 3 seconds | 400 AOE | 14 seconds cooldown
Level 3 - Divide affected unit's movespeed by 4 per second | Lasts 4 seconds | 500 AOE | 13 seconds cooldown
Level 4 - Divide affected unit's movespeed by 5 per second | Lasts 5 seconds | 600 AOE | 12 seconds cooldown

IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.


Separate the hashtable creation to its own init trigger. The displayed text and visibility modifiers are not part of the ability.
AoECG should be real and so should DividePower.
Small performance things int the cast trigger: Store triggering unit and picked into a variable. Also use an integer to store the picked unit's handle id and use the integer to store the values. Use triggering player instead of owner of unit.
Set the dummy to can't raise, does not decay so it is removed from the game earlier.
A debuff should make the movement speed text turn red.


Maker, Chilling Ground v1.2, 5th Sep 2011

Required changes:
Add importing instructions.
Save CurrentSpeed as real.
If you cast in in a place with no units, the looping trigger won't turn off.

Other notes:
You could improve the tooltips.
The shared global timer with 1 second interval can make the spell duration be between 1 and 3 seconds, if the default time is 2.

You could change the tooltip, make it look more like in Blizzard's abilities.
Leak:
  • (Number of units in UnitGroupCG) Greater than 0
^Use bj_wantDestroyGroup before that for example.
You're not loading the DividePower, it uses the value from the first trigger:
  • Unit - Set (Picked unit) movement speed to ((Current movement speed of (Picked unit)) / (Real(DividePower)))
Filter structures out.
Setting movement speed with triggers makes the text in the tooltip remain gray. In my opinion it should be red meaning units are debuffed.
Remember to clear this leak:
  • Set TargetLoc = (Target point of ability being cast)
You could use only one dummy type, give it both abilities.
You could create the dummies for neutral passive.
You have three point variables, StunnedLoc, PickedLoc and TargetLoc. You only need two variables. Get Rid of one of them.


Pretty good job making it MUI, just fix the variable loading :)

Do using Conditions, also leaks ?

Other than that, I'll see what I can do to edit, thanks for commenting !

EDIT:
I'm using 2 different variables for StunnedLoc and PickedLoc is because I'm afraid they might get collided when it occurs at the same time
Like Unit A cast the spell and at the same time, the loop trigger occurs, setting up a new variable which is StunnedLoc
Or it will never occur ?

What's the difference between NP and NH ?

How to make that tooltips appear "red" if we're using "Unit - Set Movement Speed" action ?
I believe we can make it red by using a debuff-type spell such as Cripple but man, I did the reduction of MS based on trigger, not spells
(Or is this impossible to make it?)

EDIT 2:
Spell has been updated
Check it out at CHANGELOGS :D

Why should I remove a group that I constantly using it ?
It doesn't called as "leak", is it ?
I believed that it is called as Global Variable ?
Where we create that variable by pressing CTRL + G
Not by setting it
Also, why did Maker said that using condition, leaks also
Does using condition, leaks ?
Just curious ^_^

Well, baassee, rate this please :D
And uhhh, any mod want to review this ?

EDIT:
Please answer my questions at the 7th post for me to update the spell and make it v1.3

My bad, it doesn't leak since it's a pre-set group. For some reason I though it was not.

There's no fear of colliding variables, WC3 is single threaded and the point variables are not for permanent storage.

Use a negative buff to make the text red.

As I said it, I want to use the basic action of "Unit - Set Movement Speed"
If I use a dummy spell such as Cripple (for reduction of MS), I'll contaminated the idea of "simple use of Unit - Set Movement Speed"

don't expect a mod to review this so soon, there are still a lots of pending pages (and actually one of my systems were already being watched by Bribe a while ago, but he still hasn't reviewed it after I updated)

on the spell, it looks good, triggering looks good too. ^_^

Thanks for commenting :D
Where is Bribe :(

If you want to modify the movement speed with triggers and you want a negative buff. Use Tornado Slow Aura as buff. Add the ability to the target unit and make it permanent. Although this is kind of hardcoded in GUI since two spells will bug the buff since it will be removed while maybe another instance is on. A simple index check can solve that.

I have gone, deep into the hashtable temple, I should not, go back (indexing)
Haha, so let it be, green text then !
(Do players have their time to look at the color of text + while escaping enemies from killing them ?)

If i use your spell can i add this to it?:)

Unit - Cause Caster to damage PickedUnit, dealing (200.00 + ((Real((Intelligence of Caster (Include bonuses)))) x (Real(AbilityLevel)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
---
And if u can add a effect of an Ice projectile from Frost Wyrm to fall from the sky from like 3 Ice projectiles x Lv of ability just an option :p
btw the slow effect takes 1 sec to take effect can u change it to 0.25?
