Thanks for the comment, well I'll have to revise either the spell, to found which produces a memory leak

 

[Adiktuz]

Fix the leaks and make it MUI... Search for some tutorials on the tutorials sections to know about leaks and MUI...

for now, 0/5 Vote for Rejection

Im sorry, I cant seem to understand what it does by the description therefore, I am not even clicking the download button.

As I see it, removing the waits would make it almost MUI, except for the 3 second wait.
And that would also ruin the eyecandy.
I am not trying this, I am just reading the triggers.
Try to save all your specific unit data in Hashtables and use Hashtable Integer data combined with Unit groups or use Dummy units with expiration timers in order to time the spell.
This is something I have explained a lot of times, in fact, I think I might be able to quote it.

Found it!
The quote is taken from a private message that I sent some days ago.

Hashtables

Hashtables are not as hard as they seem to be.
You simply do it like this:

• Hashtable - Save 0.00 as (Key --Your String-- of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hashtable

This is for saving a Real.

--0.00 can be replaced by ANY number, either a variable or whatever value you want to save as a variable, so Hashtables won't leak if you are using an unspecified value.--

--The first value after the real can be replaced by a number or a word. This is like a name. You can choose this yourself. Remember: Use the Hashtable - Get String ID.--

--The second value is the unit you want to save the value to. If a unit casts an ability, and you want that unit to get the value, use (Key (Triggering Unit)) Remember: Use the Hashtable - Get Handle ID.--

--The last value is the Hashtable you want to save the data in. Normally, you only require one hashtable. To create a hashtable, create a hashtable variable and create a trigger:

• Hashtable
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)

--

I usually call my Hashtable variable "Hashtable".

When you wish to load a Hashtable value, use any action you would normally use for that particular action, for example, you want to load a real number for a certain variable.

• Load Hashtable Data
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set RealVariable = (Load (Key --Your String--) of (Key (Picked unit)) from Hashtable)
    • -------- NOTE!!! --------
    • -------- The Picked Unit is not what you refer to to load a value. If you wish to load a value from a lot of units, for example, for a knockback, do this: --------
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroupVariable and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set RealVariable = (Load (Key --Your String--) of (Key (Picked unit)) from Hashtable)
    • -------- If you are using this method, don't forget to add the picked unit to the specific group when the unit uses the certain ability. --------

About Strings
You can type in any name you want for your string! Simply type in the same thing (NOTE: When you load, you require the EXACT same string!) in your loading trigger!
Typing a word that refers to the certain value might also help, for example, for an angle, you can name it Angle.

Then leave. If your going to judge a fucking resource by a description you probably shouldn't be trying to judge them in the first place.
