NEEDS FIX

The spell is MUI Don't remove the buff You don't need arrays for the group and location The learn icon is the passive version There are no proper tooltips The groups, locations and special effects could be nulled after destroying them, but it is not required

It's well executed. Perhaps the following can be considered:

- On Counter Helix KE you use a given real (30) for Helix chance. I advise you move such constants into another trigger and simply add an array to them so the spell's fixed values - damage, area of effect, proc chance - can be changed quickly and they can be recalled as Helix_Damage[Level of Helix_Ability for (Attacked Unit)] The same should be done every time you use a constant that a user would like to change.
Then, once it's ready, you simply run it on map initialization.
- Counter Helix does physical damage in DotA.
- Use Timers instead of periodically running triggers, it's so much cleaner.

 

[gorillabull]

very good coding and originality

 

[defskull]

Originality ?
Counter Helix from DotA lol.

 

[McQvaBlood]

Was probably sarcasm.

 

[ArOn]

this is not 100% like dota
i put remove buff for use as an unseen cooldown.

 

[Wrda]

Must be an interesting spell.

 

[ArOn]

idk why says this: The learn icon is the passive version
if you download this can change the icon you want ._.

this only is example and the tooltips is easy for import
I think it is not necessary!

 

[zv27]

At this very moment I'm looking at the original and I can tell you that this version more complicated than the original

Absolutely unnecessary periodic trigger for such a simple spell

 

[Marcos_M]

It has a periodic trigger because this has an unseen cooldown, this is a greate way to balance

 

[McQvaBlood]

I never really understood why it needs a chance to work AND a cooldown.
Blizzard's pseudo-random distribution handles proccing quite well. (And it's not all that hard to mimic.)

 

[Marcos_M]

That its because you never get 3 spins in a row against an Axe :S
