Wanted to play around with lightning effects so I made this

Energy Matrix:
Tooltip:
Generates (2 + (1 * level of ability)) Energy Cores which spin around the caster absorbing (9 x level of ability) health per second from nearby units and converting the health into (1.35 x level of ability) mana per second, has up to (10 + (5 * level of ability)) targets. Lasts (3 + (2 * level of ability)) seconds and has a cooldown of 12 seconds.


- Heavily Configurable
- Aoe Draining spell
- Eye candy (lightning yay)
- Goes well with my other "Energy" spells

-=V1.00=-
- Initial Upload
- Expect errors (yay)
-=V1.10=-
- Corrected Unit Group Leak
- Modified lightning to account for raised terrain
- Moved Turning on Triggers out of loop
- Used Ability Variable for the for loop in Activation
-=V1.11=-
- Made Lightning Low heights independant (requested by Kam)
- Changed condition for turning off the ending trigger (as per Bribe)


This spell is a continuation of my One-Spell-A-Day self-set challenge (Day 4)

Bribe: "(Number of units in EM_Cores) Equal to 0" can use the "group is empty" function instead.

This looks quite interesting and it gives some ideas as well. 4/5 (Recommended).


Maker, Energy Matrix V1.00, 19th Dec 2011

  • You're not using the ability variable in the activation trigger, in the for loop declaration
  • Move turn on trigger actions out of the for loop
  • Lightnings appear at incorrect height if the groud level is altered.Use the raise tool and test it. You need to use GetLocationZ when you move and create the lightnings
  • Loop trigger leaks TempGroup
  • I'd like to see better tooltip description, but you don't have to change it. "Generates (2 + (1 * level of ability))..." looks bad

Judging by the screenshot, I can already tell that you had a hard time creating this spell. Good job.
