Hanky:
Since it's basicly a cnp of a spell from DotA I can't give you much extra points for your idea. Also your solution how to reset the index is pretty messy. Well whatever for this spell it'll work so far. But apart from those things the spell is fine enough to get approved.

The spell could be useful for some users.

 

[Maker]

It's a decent spell.

I recommend you move this

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Number of units in Arrow_StartGroup) Equal to 0
  • Then - Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
  • Else - Actions

from the end of the trigger to after you remove units from the unit group. That way it get run fewer times, but still does what it's supposed to do.

Also make it more easily customizeable.

I can't tell the difference really,but since you say it...Waiting for more suggestions.And thx for commenting.

 

[Santa_Claus.]

Can you put trigger in the description please?

 

[Anachron]

Why don't you do this in vJass? It is a way more lag friendly.

 

[reason 3]

I don't know vJass or Jass,i can only trigger in GUI.
Right now i am working on a "meat-hook",hero throws a hook grabing and pulling the first unit it encounters close to him.*like the one pudge uses in DotA.

 

[Anachron]

Cool.
Well, maybe I have the time to create the vJass version.
And could you please CnP the triggers into the submittion head?

After 8190 casts of your spell there will appear bugs. Since as far as I can see you don't reset the arrow_count integer anywhere. Also avoid using those custom user values. Instead of it you could use hashtables what would be much better.

Indeed bugs may appear,but using this spell 8190 times is a bit too much don't you think?Who will use it 8190 times?^^

Hashtables would be a better solution,but i'm not very familiar with those...i will try to improve my knowledge over them and then update the spell.Thx for mentioning.

But still that isn't a secure way.

 

[reason 3]

So what are you suggesting?

 

[Hanky]

Use an other way of indexing? Somewhere in the tutorial section should be a something helpful for you. You can also try my template I made some time ago.

UPDATED!

Now after 8192 uses of this spell,there shouldn't be any bugs.
Thanks to Hanky for pointing that out.

Nice, made in GUI, I have downloaded one a long time ago but it is in vJASS and since I can only understand JASS and vJASS is a nosebleed for me I found it hard to edit, so I guess this one is more "user-friendly". And yeah, hashtables do great once you learn how to use them and they are not that hard to use.

I have made one in vJASS, does that mean it can get approved
But considering that if you know vJASS, it wouldn't be much use as you can make it yourself and this is in GUI so it is useful.

I guess so....

GUI proably is the best option for users,meaning that it is easy to understand by all.

With Jass or vJass the spell would be lagless though and a bit better...

I am making a "Mirana Wars" and used your spell in it (ofc I gave creds for it).
But there is 1 problem... I tried to play it with my friend and we were shooting at each other at the very far end of the map. 1 arrow tried to move outside the map and we got "memory leak"-error. This does not happen every time you shoot outside the map, but it occurs time by time...
(Sry if i use bad english...)

 

[reason 3]

Can you post a replay or even the map itself in order to try it?
I will try to fix the possible error leak you encountered.

 

[wolfart]

I think it helped by removing the dummy-unit as soon as it got to the edge
I will tell if it continues =)

 

[reason 3]

Sure, but anyway thanks for mentioning.

 

[hbadotti]

How can I change the Arrow speed (I know it'll change the stun duration, but no problem)

 

[sentrywiz]

Great system. I hope its fully MUI, but that cannot be tested until multiplayer. I will be giving you full credits for the system, I am gonna use it in a map of mine. Well, modified for my needs. +rep

 

[edward3500]

Why it doesnt have damage?

 

[EyeCandy]

What happens when you have an Elune's Arrow that hits allies and enemies alike but instantly kills them? It's basically Voldemort's Avada Kedava! Anyway Rep+ for providing code.

 

[Diegoit]

This can be used multiple times? i want to use it on a melee.

 

[Oljin]

spell works perfect, good job! and thanks for the spell!
