Generals-style airstrike system - Release or wait?

[Wow_WhatANoob]

Airstrikes are called by setting a few variables and calling a trigger, after that the airstrike manager code takes care of it. These variables include:

- Unit-type of the bomber (if it gets shot down, bombing stops)
- Lead distance of bomb to target
- Call-in source
- Strike point
- Strike radius
- Bomb release rate
- Trigger to call when a bomb is released
- What player called in the bombing

The "bomb release trigger" has 3 variables set for it ahead of time by the airstrike manager:
- Bomb release point
- Bomb impact point
- Player responsible for the bomb

Like Generals, it'll automatically fit the bomber trajectory to the map edges and adjust the flight path so that it comes from a map edge, flies (approximately) over the call point, then drop bombs on the strike point and continue to the edge of the map, and is then removed. Supports a near-unlimited number of independently-tracked bombers. Because of trigger-based releasing, there's no limit to how a bomb can work. Because of trigger-based calling, there are no restrictions on how to determine a strike point or call-in point (using triggers to link an airstrike to an ability is easiest)

This is more like framework than actual spells, but I've got a few examples.

So.... anyone interested, or should I just wait until I release my next map?

Well, if you want advice, you should submit it. If you don't, then don't bother.

Hmm... there are many spells similar to this one already but another one wouldn't be a problem. Sure, post it.
