Took a break from doing very long toop triggered spells and wanted to give the moderators something easy to moderate - so I made this basic one =3

It's a passive Unit Ability, levelled rather than by the ability levelling up but a research instead (considering the functionality it only makes sense to do it this way)


Passive spell, Automatically electrically connects to other units with the same ability, any unit which moves into the lightning effect will recieve constant heavy damage.

Suggested changes
  • Don't create double lightnings. If you have units A and B, only create
    from A to B or B to A. Not A to B and B to A
  • Use MoveLightningEx instead of creating/destroying lightnings all the time
  • Don't use a 0.03 periodic trigger for the activation

Required changes
  • In finding targets, you need to use
    • (Picked unit) Not equal to EW_U
  • Don't create double lightnings. If you have units A and B, only create
    from A to B or B to A. Not A to B and B to A
  • Use MoveLightningEx instead of creating/destroying lightnings all the time
  • Units that are revived can no longer use the ability

Pharaoh_: Very interesting. Count GetLocationZ() as a height parameter for the lightnings. Save the source of lightning unit to the sub-unit (which "receives" the lightning) and check the distance between these and then destroy the lightnings, otherwise, it's pretty heavy, creating and destroying the lightnings all the time.

Wow. Epic! 5/5!
  • ------- Sets the damage per second of the web --------
Isn't that the damage is per every 0.03 seconds? :p Just checking by triggers. Haven't test it yet but I love da idea :D
Click to expand...

Sure:
If damage base is 0.50, it will do (1.00 for second / 0.03 is loop) 0.50*3.33 = 1.66 damage per sec. That is more sensible than 0.5 damage per second.

About the spell, its good and would be nice upgrade for human (since they are so hi-tech dudes with their "I see everything" towers, so unfair to shades).

very nice, beautiful spell, I can think of a thousand ways to use it, which saddens me,
because if I import it (I believe I did it right 95 %) and place 4+ units to be connected,
w3.exe starts consuming 50% of the CPU and the PC goes unbelievably(and unplayably) slow... anyway around that ? the same happens when I increase the range or dmg...thanks for advice

Increasing the damage shouldn't change anything
Increasing the range shouldn't -really- change anything

I've successfully managed to hook up 40 units without lag, so I'm not sure why you'd have issues assuming everything was imported correctly.

though, there is a way I could make this much better (as maker suggested) which would probably fix tat, may do that sometime.

Tank Commander has been nice about this. Too nice.

1) His spell can't possibly do what you claim.
2) You are a fool for not backing up your map.
3) Cease speaking like this or you're done here.
