[deathismyfriend]

Please post triggers in spell description.

 

[Felipe Gormadoc]

Please post triggers in spell description.

Done, thanks for warn
I forgot

 

[deathismyfriend]

You are using an old inefficient form of indexing.
Take a look at my tutorial things you should know when using triggers /gui.
The chapter how to index will show you a proper way to index.
Also that is not the spell description but it should be good enough.

 

[Felipe Gormadoc]

Also that is not the spell description but it should be good enough.

Sorry i can't understand this part.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Sorry i can't understand this part.

The triggers you have posted are not in spell description. It should be ok though.

 

[Felipe Gormadoc]

The triggers you have posted are not in spell description. It should be ok though.

I believe well be more organized, but if need I put in the description of the spell, thanks for warn again.

about your tutorial, u say that the problem is:
My MUI (triggers spells) or the trigger "Geral settings" ?

 

[deathismyfriend]

The problem is the way you index / de-index. It is inefficient and has a chance to hit the op-limit.

well... '-'
then u said about the spells? NOT about the setting trigger.
correct?

 

[Vinz]

@DIMF indeed. Though chances may be rare (since why the hell would there be 8000 instances of a spell active within 10s), it's better to be safe.

Oh, and Thunder Clap uses terrain deformations. Triggered area damage is better.

then u said about the spells? NOT about the setting trigger.

Yes, most likely.

 

[deathismyfriend]

@DIMF indeed. Though chances may be rare (since why the hell would there be 8000 instances of a spell active within 10s), it's better to be safe.

With current indexing it does not have to be 8192 indexes within 10 seconds. That would break the new indexing method.
With this way all that needs to happen to break the index limit is 1 spell instance created before the all others end. So if spell is cast once every second it will break the limit in 8192 seconds. Although it is small think about a spell being used a lot of times. Looping through all of those unused indexes is costly and pointless.

well... '-'
then u said about the spells? NOT about the setting trigger.
correct?

The settings trigger looks ok.
Your timer should run every .03 or .04 seconds not .5 seconds.
Fix the major part then worry about the small stuff.

Thanks for your comment, and you made ​​a good observation about the thunder clap, but if u note the ultimate of sand king in dota 1 or 2 u can see that the earth deform, I wanted to make it as similar as possible

Now i can understand what u said, I will correct as soon as possible.
But I'm curious, why i can use 0.03/0.04/1.00 but i cant use 0.05

 

[deathismyfriend]

1.00 is not a good time either.
If you are doing any spell it should be 0.03 or 0.04
If that causes a lot of lag then you can increase the time. But 0.03 is the most preferred time period for GUIers.

 

[Elprede]

Rather than terrain deformations, which cause permanent memory leaks, you could use a model.

 

[Vinz]

^Like the War Stomp.

Please take a look into this tutorial: Dynamic indexing
You should check if a trigger is already activated, this can be done via an integer comparison of the current index. You'll find all information in the tutorial I linked here.

• udg_Skepicentro_PositionCaster

doesn't have to be of type array. A non array point variable is enough.

You could store the level of epicenter into a variable.

You could use just one dummy caster for the whole game season.

The configuration trigger is lacking. Missing variables are ability, damage type, attack type, aoe
I haven't check the seetings ingame, but I want to remember you that a proper tooltip is also part of a complete spell submission.
