[Trigger] Dynamic Indexing Usage

[Stork]

I've released my very first spell recently, but indeed i did use custom value (which is not allowed in hive), BP ask me to do "Indexing" instead of "Custom Value" for public releasing spell.
My Custom Value ones is fine, but my Indexing currently not working (i'm not even surprised because i don't totally understand this so i might need more explaination from you guys, thanks in advance)

Here is my code (written in Custom Value)

Trigger Code: Custom Value

• Arctic Blast

Following part:

maxIndex = maxIndex + 1
set unit[maxIndex] = myUnit
set damage[maxIndex] = myDamage
set dummy[maxIndex] = myDummy
... (and so on)

... is called indexing. You do this once when a unit casst a spell to properly add a new instance to your loop elements for periodic trigger.

Now, in your new approach with dynamic indexing you index the very same unit multiple times onCast.
You do this within a loop. That is wrong.
The loop is (or was) only needed to create multiple dummies for an instance, but not for multiple registration of an instance.

I'm not sure if you (still) want to bind multiple dummies to an instance, but I think
you can work only with a group and don't need to index the dummies induvidualy.
(you anyway will index the group they belong too... Set group[maxIndex] = myGroup)

You currently use the CreateGroup() function in custom script without checking
if a group already exists for the group[index] variable. This may lead to a leak as array variables
for instance [0] and [1] are already initialiszed automatically in GUI.
You may use a work around, or just make a check if group doesn't exists. ( if it's equal null)

if myGroup == null then
    set myGroup = CreateGroup()
endif

(in custom script... it should work)

You should use a variable prefix for your variables, for example: "AB_"
Then prefix + descrptive name. AB_Target, AB_Caster, and so on for example.

"For each (Integer ArcticBlastLoopIndex) from 1 to ArcticBlastIndex"
...
Something like:
"For each (Integer AB_CurrentIndex) from 1 to AB_MaxIndex"
...
would be more understandable. Or AB_LoopIndex would be ok, too. (the variable names)

Somehow my code work like a mess, still cause serious lag(which is really annoying) and its not MUI.

[IcemanBo]

In ArcticBlastUnitGroup is only 1 unit? Why a group?

Where are ArcticBlastUnitGroup[] and ArcticBlastDummyGroup[] initialisized?

You don't destroy groups onDeindex.

My mistake! I found the unit in ArcticBlastUnitGroup does nothing so i did remove it. And here we go again, still not work

What does not work? You can print debug messages to show what or if a code section runs, and if it runs chronological correctly.

It stop working after the first cast, or if i cast it more than 1 in a loop, it stop working either

The current code is anyway not up to date and there are more critical flaws.
Mind to update it and possibly even remove not needed operations to gain readability?
Also Debug, Debug, Debug! Always print messages and try to find out what exactly works and what not.

I think we should discuss this in my Spell Topic. Your lastest question by yesterday, i replied it in my Spell Topic, check it out.

Hm,
I prefer discussing the problem about indexing here,
since you already opened a specific thread about it.

Well i did update my new version of Arctic Blast (which is 1.0.0.2). check my code out there
