PurgeandFire: Approved and recommended! Very pretty, eye-catching spell.
 
I think GroupUtils is useless.

In the On Cast function, cache first GetSpellAbilityUnit() then use it in the parameters of the functions that use it, because currently, you are calling it 3 times :(

Make the attachment for the effect configurable.

Use Dummy by Nes perhaps?

When naming constants, make sure to put "_" in between words. Do SIZEINCREASE and COUNTBLACKMISSILES and more look readable?

call SetUnitScale(dummy,size,size,size) - > call SetUnitScale(dummy, size, 0, 0)

You can remove the "BlackHole" in the struct methods

Here is another review from yours truly but with something entirely different.... now it has a template :D

REVIEW
rating_none.gif


Resource Status: Needs Fix
GENERAL
  • Links to required libraries are missing.
  • Credit is missing in the description.
PROS
  • The effect is splendid. Good job.
  • Global block is lined up beautifully.
  • Configuration is decent.
  • You are using a struct <3
  • The code seems to be well-executed with the use of helper libraries.
CONS
  • There should be a filter function for users to configure. It is something alone this line
    JASS:
        // Filter targets
        private function filterUnit takes unit caster, unit u returns boolean
            return /*
            
            */ IsUnitEnemy(u, GetOwningPlayer(caster)) and /* Target is an enemy of caster
            */ not IsUnitType(u, UNIT_TYPE_DEAD) and /* Target is alive
            */ not IsUnitType(u, UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE) /* Target is not a structure
            */
        endfunction
  • The library requires GroupUtils, TimerUtils and SpellEffectEvent. You can make GroupUtils optional though.
  • You are missing importing instructions.
  • USER EDIT should be CONFIGURABLES. Sorry for being OCD though ;__;
  • Global block is not indented correctly. Please reread my review for your other resource on how to indent properly.
  • All methods should be private. And they are namedLikeThis, not NamedLikeThis. Check out the JPAG page.
  • Cast and Loop should be onCast and onPeriodic. It is more or less a convention here to name methods like that.
  • dumm is a bit weird for a variable name. Use dummy2 or something.
  • There should be 2 or more heroes for MUI testing.
[/TD][/tr]
That is all I can see for now. Feel free to speak up if you feel like I misread your code somewhere :)
