Guerded Attack v 1.0 made by 'KhaosMachine'

Original idea by 'En_Tropy'

IF YOU WANT TO IMPORT THIS SPELL INTO YOUR MAP YOU HAVE TO COPY THE NEXT THINGS:

*********************************************************************************

TRIGGER EDITOR:
    FOLDERS: NONE
    TRIGGERS: Guarded Attack

OBJECT EDITOR:
    UNITS:      Dummy ('u000')

    ABILITIES:  Guarded Attack  ('A000')
                Guarded Attack  ('A001')
                Invisibility    ('A002')
                
    BUFFS:      Guarded Attack  ('B001')
                

*********************************************************************************

THEN YOU HAVE TO CONFIGURE THE SPELL:

    OBVIOUSLY THINGS:
    
        ABILITY_ID = RAWCODE OF THE SPELL
        REDUCE_ABILITY_ID = RAWCODE OF THE SLOW SPELL
        BUFF_ID = RAWCODE OF THE REDUCE ABILITY ABILITY BUFF
        REDUCE_ABILITY_ORDER = STRING ORDER OF THE REDUCE ABILITY
        ABILITY_INVISIBLE_ID = RAWCODE OF THE INVISIBILITY ABILITY
        DUMMY_ID = RAWCODE OF THE DUMMY

Magtheridon96: Well done.

  • ARRAY -> stack
  • TOTAL -> total
  • DATA -> Data
  • DESTOY_DATA -> destroyData
  • You need to null the target member of the struct before you destroy the instance.
  • JASS: 
    set ARRAY[i] = ARRAY[TOTAL - 1]
set TOTAL = TOTAL - 1
    You can switch these lines and then use TOTAL as the index of the array.
    You can do something similar here too:
    JASS: 
    set TOTAL = TOTAL + 1
set ARRAY[TOTAL - 1] = D
  • GetOwningPlayer(caster) -> GetTriggerPlayer()
  • You don't need to inline TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ, it's a good BJ.
  • JASS: 
    set DESTROY_DATA = D.duration <= 0
if DESTROY_DATA then
    ->
    if D.duration <= 0 then
  • This should probably be useful for you.

Anyway, 3.8/5.
Useful.

JASS: 
scope guardedAttack initializer init
Scope name should be in CamelCase. Refer to this for more information.

You could use this for registering spell events. I'd recommend using it.

JASS: 
private struct DATA
Similar to the above, naming should be CamelCase for Struct name. You could also code everything inside your Struct, instead of using functions. I see that you're storing Struct instances inside a global array and then retrieving it. Instead of doing that, you could simply create a linked list of all instances and loop through it every timer period. You can simply use resources like T32 or CTL for timers dealing with instances.

My Rating: 3/5

The code could be improved. The spell is kind of simple in my opinion. But it could be useful as well.
