Dig System

The triggers look good and there are no leaks.
I do have some things I must point out:

• (Random real number between 1.00 and 100.00)

Should be between 0 and 100, not a big deal though
And you should make it possible to add/remove items you can get.
One solution is just adding another variable which you can f.ex. call "Max_Dig_Items" and replace all

• (Random integer number between 1 and 10)

with

• (Random integer number between 1 and Max_Dig_Items)

From a look at the triggers this system is leakless and is very useful so i vote for approval.

also i have 1 question the chance to get item that you have set to 30.00 it works on a percentage scale right?

Add a: Dig_ArraySize variable. Currently if you want more or less than 10 items you'll have to edit the random integer max yourself, which an't a problem, but I'm sure some "less experianced people" will forget to change it.

• Item - Create Dig_Item[(Random integer number between 1 and 10)] at Dig_Position

You should make the 10 a configurable, otherwise you can add like 100 items but nothing will change.

e/ wtf.

The triggers don't look anything alike

The triggers don't look anything alike

I have to agree the triggers are completely different just take a look yourself.

Wow thanks for the fast feedback and approval. I will change the mentoded things. Also, no i didnt copy the triggers from the map you linked. I didnt even know that map. If you check out some of my other resources, then you'll see that im not that kind of guys. Im making things by myself. Anyways, thanks for the nice comments. I'll be back with an update in a few minutes.

Isn't DigUnit leaking?

Why should a unit variable leak?

I like the tagline - somehow very appropriate for a spell of this simplicity.

took a break from mapping for a while, thought any set variable leaked I suppose... But if it doesnt leak then their is no point in setting it to a variable no?

Also, a good way to improve (or change) this system could be making it use random item of category/level... ex/ a random level 1 charged item or a random level 2 permanent item etc. based on chance

It's faster to use a variable instead of Triggering Unit.

A better way of Doing this could properly be that you use a Hashtable instead? I don't know... but it is easier and takes less space? I am not too sure but it's easier with Hashtable then the Variables

Add a boolean RemoveOnDig or something

When it is true, you remove items from the array as they get digged up.
