• Do nothing

Remove this.

• Animation - Change (Picked unit) flying height to (Default flying height of (Picked unit)) at 1000.00

Make it 0, it will change the unit flying height instantly.

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to G_CastCount, do (Actions)

I would suggest you to use custom global integer variable.

- A timer of 0.03 might be better.
- You can always use an buff when detecting if a unit life becomes less than 15%.
- No documentation (violates one of THW spell rules)
- I think the thing with the 15% life is too imbalanced, but that is just an opinion.

3/5 rate with a neutral vote.

1-The spell provide only one level
2-No documentation
3-what is the point of that? the thing below the turn off wont happen , no?

• Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
• Unit - Cause (Damage source) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing (Max life of (Triggering unit)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Universal
• Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

Preventing endless loop since he deals damage with that function and the event is an unit takes damage.

I really like GUI but making GUI spells which require JNGP is not that smart

and without being able to test your map I can tell you that it will cause bugs

if you make this:

• Events
  • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set g2 = g
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_g)
  • Set u = Footman 0000 <gen>
  • Unit Group - Add u to g
  • Unit Group - Add u to g2
  • Game - Display to (All players) for 0.00 seconds the text: (String((Number of units in g)))
  • Game - Display to (All players) for 0.00 seconds the text: (String((Number of units in g2)))

both groups will be destroyed and therefore unable to store and units
it will display "0" twice on your screen

this will work:

• Actions
  • Unit Group - Remove all units from g2
  • Unit Group - Add all units of g to g2
  • Unit Group - Remove all units from g

same goes for locations:

• test
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set loc = (Point(1337.00, 1337.00))
    • Set loc2 = loc
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Y of loc2)))
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Y of loc2)))

this will display 1337 and then 0
but I did not destroy loc so how could that happen?
both locations are somehow "linked" together so both will face the same destiny and be destroyed

I'd recommend to use real values instead since they won't leak anyway
if you still want to use the GUI functions you will need a single location to do this:

• Actions
  • Set loc = (Point(x, y))
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)

this way you can also make it compatible with the standard world editor

try not to use the "unit takes damage" event since there usually are better ways and you will leak an event

and you don't have to null global variables cause they will be reused anyway

I haven't seen this spell ingame since it obviously can't be opened with my JGNP ...
but I dunno if I should feel screwed or honored. 2 guys copying my spell "Geyser" from my spellpack in its concept just one after the other.
But well, since I quitted actively producing spells I don't really care ... just saying "this was my idea!!!!" although it isn't makes me mad <.<
(I might be wrong with my copycat-assumption since I couldn't check it ingame, though!)

 

[tjordell]

Cant open it :S

[War_Golum]

its completly lagfree?

 

[Anachron]

Spell is MUI and NEED JNGP TO WORK.

Excuse me? It's GUI, you should be able to open it in normal WE.
Else, conception fail.

If you do GUI, make World Editor GUI.
If you do vJass, use JNGP.

Using JNGP for GUI or other way around is just ridiculous.
