This is a solid system for GUI users, better than its predecessors.

Damage Over Time
IMPORT GUIDE :
1. Enable "Tick the Automatically create unknown variables ..." located at File>Preference>General
2. Copy the DamageOverTime trigger folder
3. Configure the DOTConfig trigger according to the comments provided
4. Configure the triggers that needs the DOT effect based on the provided DOTExample and Example triggers in the test map
SPELL INFORMATION :
Based on Dynasti-Paladon Damage Over Time.
Currently focuses on mimicking the features provided in Paladon version. Future extensions are planned.
In order to inflict DOT to a unit, setup a trigger with the following information provided:
CHANGELOG :
Version 1.3: Removed TELL requirement and restructure the code to utilize Dynamic Indexing (refer to this post for the reasoning) - there's no major loss from this since unlike TSELL, DOT is a very closed system by itself.
Version 1.2: Fixed a critical bug within the loop section of the system
Version 1.1: Updated TimedEventLinkedList in test map to match the updated version
Version 1.0: Released

Question: Can you stack DoT with this system? e.g. You deal 100 damage over 10 seconds and 5 seconds later you deal another 100 over 10 seconds. Will the total damage be 200 in that case?

According to to the nature of the system, yes. Will also have multiple damage sources.

Yes, however I just noticed it is not compatible with the update to TimedEventLinkedList so an update is in order

Version 1.1: Updated TimedEventLinkedList in test map to match the updated version
Hi, Daffa here. After some testing I determined that this update is not mandatory IF YOU DO NOT USE TSELL AT ALL. However, DO NOT USE TELL FROM TEST MAP IF YOU DOWNLOAD V1.0 SINCE IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH TSELL!

So, I found a critical bug in the loop's conditional check. This line:
-
(DOT_TargetUnit is alive) Equal to False
-
(DOT_TargetUnit_I[DOT_Index] is alive) Equal to False
-
DOTLoop
-
Events
-
Conditions
-
Actions
-
-------- For readability --------
-
Set DOT_Index = TELL__Index
-
-------- Deal damage --------
-
Unit - Cause DOT_SourceUnit_I[DOT_Index] to damage DOT_TargetUnit_I[DOT_Index], dealing DOT_DamagePerTime_I[DOT_Index] damage of attack type DOT_AttackType_I[DOT_Index] and damage type DOT_DamageType_I[DOT_Index]
-
-------- End prematurely if target is already killed --------
-
Set DOT_TargetUnit = DOT_TargetUnit_I[DOT_Index]
-
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
-
If - Conditions
-
(DOT_TargetUnit is alive) Equal to False
-
-
Then - Actions
-
Set TELL__Duration = 0.00
-
-
Else - Actions
-
-
-
-
Set DOT_TargetUnit = DOT_TargetUnit_I[DOT_Index]

Updated to v1.3 based on discoveries when extensively testing Amaterasu and a WIP Firestorm spell. Apparently, TELL has a lot of nasty surprises.
