Read full review...
dont put the description on a Code block, it makes it hard to read...

checking the triggers...

hmm, I think its better to put the check to turn on the loop, at the end of the cast trigger...

add the support to increase the AOE per level, and also the AoE variables are better off as two different variables rather than an array where you only use two indexes... And its useless to set them every cast, just make an init trigger which sets them to reduce the number of functions called per cast...
 
In the loop trigger,

  • Set CG_UnitGroup[CG_Index3] = (Units within CG_AoE[2] of CG_Point[CG_Index3] matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of CG_Caster[CG_Index3])) Equal to True))))
  • -------- ----------------------------------------- --------
  • -------- Setting Location of Searched Target, if the Glaive will Reach that Location but No Target Will be There it Will Explode --------
  • -------- ----------------------------------------- --------
  • Set CG_Target[CG_Index3] = (Random unit from CG_UnitGroup[CG_Index3])
  • Set CG_Point3[CG_Index3] = (Position of CG_Target[CG_Index3])
  • -------- ----------------------------------------- --------
  • -------- Destroying Group --------
  • -------- ----------------------------------------- --------
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_CG_UnitGroup[udg_CG_Index3])
It could be simplified into:

  • -------- ----------------------------------------- --------
  • -------- Setting Location of Searched Target, if the Glaive will Reach that Location but No Target Will be There it Will Explode --------
  • -------- ----------------------------------------- --------
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Set CG_Target[CG_Index3] = (Random unit from (Units within CG_AoE[2] of CG_Point[CG_Index3] matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of CG_Caster[CG_Index3])) Equal to True)))))
  • Set CG_Point3[CG_Index3] = (Position of CG_Target[CG_Index3])
Random unit from (Unit group) is destroyable with bj_wantDestroyGroup :)
 
The aoe real variable should be splitted into two different variables. Useless to be arrayed when using for two different values and not more.

I'd prefer attacktype and damagatype too but isn't that important.

You set the damage variable into a value but you don't use it.

  • Unit - Cause CG_Caster[CG_Index3] to damage (Picked unit), dealing ((Real((Level of Cutting |c0020c000G|rlaive for CG_Caster[CG_Index3]))) x 100.00) damage of attack type Pierce and damage type Normal
The temporary points doesn't need to be prefixed nor arrayed.
 
your changelog is useless... its more of a chronolog...
Click to expand...
changing...
Isn't needed after the or any if. They're removed after the whole if part so you are removing them twice.
Click to expand...
removed
STILL the temporary points should be non-arrayed.
Click to expand...
Well this the way i made all the spells... Could you tell me why it's bad or something? =)

Edit: updated, changelog is now fine.
 
is it supposed to hit units untill there are no more?
Click to expand...
Yes!
because i think it will be better if it could hit 5-6 targets and then stop...
Click to expand...
Well here's a problem, every spell that has something to do with jumps has a limit, even my Bouncing Ball, but this time i tried something original - no limit :P Well i guess i could an option where you choose the limit, if you want to use it.
very nice spell man!! 5/5

Thanks!!!

Then you should change them there too. A temporary variable should be non-arrayed and used instantly as wc3 is single threaded, it will not bug with any other instances as long as they're not passed on into another period.

You make it arrayed to either store it between periods or if you need VERY MANY point variables. But you don't need that many, you need 3 and that's probably maximum for each spell too.

An arrayed variable takes more space than 3 single non-arrayed variables. That's the major hint here. Dunno if Bribe even cares about this but I do as I only see waste of space in the user's maps if they use spells that have arrayed temporary variables.

Now you might complain that it's not that much space. But with many spells like this, more space taken.

I care about this, there are just so many other flaws in most GUI scripts that are more pertinent. I am still weighing how strict I should be on these resources as I've been rejecting a lot more than I've been approving.

Oh sorry if I offended you Bribe it wasn't meant to be. I'm just pointing out a few more details that can be fixed :)
