Leaks Leaks and Leaks :/

 

[Vercas]

1300 meters = 1.3 kilometers ~= 0.8 miles ~= 4265.1 feet.

You could say 1300 UNITS or 1300 RANGE or 1300 DISTANCE.

I highly doubt that any axe could fly such a distance.

 

[Marcikat]

Hi and thanks for the comments... sry I don´t know how to post triggers xD
I know the unit groups leak really and I repair them at the moment, but the axes fly to the enemies and then the shit axes aren´t destroyed it will take til the evening ok in the evening this spell is rdy and are there other leaks then the unit groups???

 

[Doom_AngeaL]

Leaks. You use waits, which leak.

Your special effects happen ten times a second, which will most likely cause lag.

Also, in the loop2 trigger that moves the axes, its set on every .02 seconds. Thats 50 times a second, which will also cause lag.

And the axes repeatedly cause damage, which is probably intended, but will do major damage for lowest levels.

50 times a second times the damage is done.

In other words, 50 times, at level three, will do 75 damage.

If I'm not a bit rusty in math, 50 x 75 is 3750. 3750 from a spell that probably is only meant to do 300 or so. Ouch.

To fix this, add the unit it hits to a unitgroup. When it damages, give the unit spell immunity for .50 seconds or even add the unit to a unitgroup. When it damages, Pick all units matching condition "Not in the unit-group" or something like that.

Edit:
So my rating,

Eye Candy(Appeal) : 5/5
Efficiency : 1/5
MUI : 5/5

So in other words:
5 + 1 + 5 = 11
5 + 5 + 5 = 15
11/15 / 3 = 3/5

Wait wait wait. A wait DOES NOT leak. How would a wait leak? Maybe it will leak instances made before the wait (if someone casts the spell again during this Wait time).

Exactly what you just said is why it leaks.

 

[baassee]

Ah problem solved

 

[-Devinity-]

Wait's don't leak, they do however destroy multi-usage. In other words, I can't see how this spell can be MUI :/

 

[FriendlyHost]

really cool spell! 5/5
nice!

 

[Yankee]

Cool spell

4/5 Very good

 

[Doom_AngeaL]

Cool spell

4/5 Very good

How about an actual rating, eh?

Very good doesn't tell him what he needs to fix.

Get the updated triggers posted up here and I'll take the time to give them a proper review. Not going to download the entire map just to take a look at a few triggers.
