Damage over Time

[GIMLI_2]

i got a problem
i want to make a damage over time, that is based on the agility of the caster
(deals 0.5 x Agility per second)
it would be no problem if there would be one hero who can cast this ability, .... but there are more. i made it so: gave the ability 150 LvLs and set lvl to the agi, but thats shit, pls help!

For MUI spells the easiest way is to use hashtables.
Upon casting the spell just save the damage with the target unit's key.
If it should stack you can either use multiple rows or add the damage to the old value or something.
Add the target unit to a unit group and pick and damage them every 0.5 sec according to the saved value.

on the contrary, GUI-init indexer is easier, coz you dont need to save lots of
reals/units/integer but jus the custom userunitdata, put it in an aray...nevertheless
hashtables is my favorite so I preffer them...

as for MUI spell, use UnitIndexer/hashtables or >>> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...late-144325/?prev=search=indexing&d=list&r=20 which is btw complicated...see GUI spells in the spell's section, most of them are made from these systems...

And that's why everyone better uses vJass for spells like this, then you don't have any problems anymore =D

I got him now )
I think he doesn't know about making a spell with trigger. Don't confuse him with GUI or JASS.

Hey! I haven't knew what is MUI and GUI (definition)

 

[defskull]

GUI is Graphical User Interface, it's a system (in Warcraft3, GUI simply means that the default Trigger Editor that you're using right now, easy and direct) that is well-known for its user-friendly.

Currently, there are 2 types of Spell Making Tools; GUI and JASS

JASS on the other hand, is anti of GUI (not user-friendly) but it is more efficient in all aspects


MUI is Multi-unit Instanceable, meaning that the spell can be casted simultaneously without bugging it.

You'll need either Indexing or Hashtable (or both, for advance user) to make your spell MUI.

NOTE: MUI and GUI doesn't relate, at all. Well, you know what I mean doesn't relate is what.
