This looks like a really nice version of Fan of Knives and in my opinion this is better. The triggering looks nice, but you could store Picked Unit in a variable to increase performance. Other than that everything looks nice!

This one looks way cooler than the one in wc3! Keep up the work, i love the animation of the attack, looks really cool.

Crashes my WE with some 'InitHashtableBJ' stuff.

Edit: Every spell does that now, ignore this comment.

REVIEW

-Is it just me or do I sense this 0.5 second casting delay before the arrows even starts to move?

-why are you using the facings? :S can't you just store the angle in the hash table and then increase it, facing is unstable what I've heard of

-75 aoe hmm ... that's a low value actually, I don't feel it very accurate enough. I know the arrows are very small but 90-100 would fit better?

-why you create two sps at different spots? just a question

-no need to remove units with triggers, better with just killing them

else it's a very very good spell berzerk! Lovely remake of the fan of knives spell thought you made it twice

My Review

Spell Idea = 0/5

Coding = 5/5

Effeciency = 5/5

User Interface = 5/5

Documentation = 5/5

You Scored = 5/5

My Comments:
- Although the spell idea is a blizzard remade one, I think this spell is great. I was not able to find any bugs or leaks. The spell is MUI aswell. I love the idea of renewing a known blizzard spell, although I can't give you credit for the spell idea itself, nevertheless the spell gets a topscore in my book . I like how the customization abilities are good, it's very easy to configure. You're description on the hive is also good. I don't know what I should think of the custom Icon.
I found one simple mistake, there's a spelling mistake in your documentation: "8 .Test the spall ^" spall :b

Nice one, much nicer than the built-in. (Laggier too though)

It's not laggy at all, but 100 of these will lag more than 100 normal...

Plus, remaking blizz spells is not creative

 

[StaberFire]

Foopad, 20/25 simplifies to 4/5. Dunno how you got 5/5.

 

[Asgard_Ragna]

I really like the style of this spell, who cares if it's remade or not. Didn't look at the triggering through. +rep from me

It's not math, I just couldn't give this spell 4/5. Besides there are points not taken into account in my review, but they should be next time..

I'm in a hurry, so for those for got some issues;
You can change the dummy special effect to any other effect, along with triggered blood effect.
You can change the distance, that would change spell style dramaticly...

Spell is designed so that you can change it for your needs.

Have fun

[Dark_Dragon]

Greets +rep!

[pippo]

Great made, 0% lagg and leaks...GJ

 

[-Berz-]

Ok, thanks for the comments, as you can see I've made a little update that makes the spell even more configurable

e.g.

You can turn on/off random movement/path, that would change the spell style a bit (It will still be Fan of Knives but a bit different )

And yet again, the spell isn't just a "Fan of Knifes" by changing a dummy model and special effect you can turn the "dagger" spell into, fire, water, arcane, earth, nature.... anything

This should be 4/5, because 20 out of 25 is a 4.
(Or it might be that you don't vote fair, then ignore this comment)

Althought I didn't looked at the code, I think its very cool to get to know how this can be done.

Good work, Berzerk!

Well I just started reviewing, and that is my template, he did acutally score 5/5 in something I haven't mentioned, but I guess I will mention that catagorey next time.

 

[Deuterium]

As always, a well done BZK spell
