Interesting concept, but you currently leak player groups.

• PickedUnit, facing, basically everything used more than once/twice should be stored into a variable.
• Instead of Integer A you should use a custom integer variable
• You could add/remove units to the flashlight group manually instead of picking all units in the map every 0.01 seconds.
• Dynamic indexing would be a suitable alternative for the ForGroup operation you are using.

this is modifying fog of war which is different from the game lighting but who knows someone might use it considering that the code for this is not faster to make by hand than downloading and importing it from your map

Using 0.03 bugged a bit for me, because you immediatly destroy the visibility again, but you at least could use 0.02 instead of 0.01.

Creating UnitGroups is a very heavy operation as you should use it each 0.01 seconds. My FPS were horrible with it, and much better with 0.02.

At the moment you are picking really every unit on map and check condition. That seeems too costly for me.

Even better you would use a unit indexer instead of Unitgroups, that is much better, especially you are using each 0.01 seconds as event atm.

Avoid using an array if you don't need it. I see you are using a point variable like this.

Don't use LoopIntegerA/B. They are less efficient as custom integers.

Works great for me. Pretty cool effect.

Awesome effect, i love it, + rep for a great Flashlight >.<...(Although your code is not effective)

 

[Kazeon]

this must be very useful, I don't have any idea how to make something like this XD
4 for now, will be 5 after get approved

hey could you post the trigger?

I am a GUI-er so i don't understand what's bad in your coding.
Works perfect except of FPS (0.01 really )
Replaces the normal fog really good, i think that i will use it in every map but it is really heavy for memory and that 0.01 .
Rating:
4/5 because of that 0.01 (and maybe coding?)
