Flame Dance = Multiplayeratized

[MoodestMoo5]

I am trying to make the spell Flame Dance by Player_15 (got it from this site) usable by more then one person in a game. I got it to work but there is one problem, the flames that circle the caster start circling the entire map in a huge perfect circle after I stop casting. The original idea paused the caster for 30 seconds but I made it so the caster could interrupt its spell channeling. It seems like the flames aren't dying out either they just kept circling. I made them have 0 vision so their will be no effect but im afraid these can bunch up and become noticable/cause a lot of lag, a sort of leak.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Why are the two last 'Group Picks' the same?

Wait! I smell WEU.....where are you hiding WEU?? You know you can't hide from me.......ah, there you are:

• Point - Remove Point

Better stop using WEU as soon as possible, that's evil......

 

[MoodestMoo5]

HAHAHAHHAA

I never would have caught that thanks muchly there are 2 different fire types and the one that was circling the map was not being removed.


but....

WEU cant be evil

its the bestest thing that ever happened to me..i wouldnt even know how to remove that point without it

whats wrong with it?

 

[Xelephant]

You can have this done in the normal WE too, with costum script. Beside maps created with WEU can only be edited with WEU + it will let you stick forever to gui, which creates alot of unneeded code.

Also once WEU corrupted my map *args*

I use atm the WE with the nextGen package from wc3c.

 

[Silvenon]

nextGen package? You mean JassNewGenPack or what?

Yeah WEU sucks, I worked with that crap too, until I found out what a garbage that actually is.....You'll be much happier working in normal WE, believe me. Do you want to know how to remove a point without WEU? Here it is:

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_<name of the point variable>)

Without <> ofc . So, in parenthesis you just type the variable name (point) with a prefix udg_. Nothing is more simpler than that, see?

EDIT: Godless, we have the same amount of reps, but now you won't be able to get any more because you're dead, muahahaha! (an inside joke)

 

[MoodestMoo5]

but how would I do an array point variable? like

• Point - Remove ArrayPointVariable[(Custom value of (Casting unit))]

 

[-=Emergenzy=-]

call RemoveLocation(udg_locations[1])
call RemoveLocation(udg_locations[2])
call RemoveLocation(udg_locations[3])

 

[MoodestMoo5]

so i do

call RemoveLocation (udg_locations[[(Custom value of (Casting unit))]
