Bribe:

The system itself looks extremely good, you've patched up all the memory leaks that I could find and it's also extremely efficient. Very good work you've put into this library and I'm proud to approve it.

Mui

All abilities interlock with another.
Buffs can affect other buffs.

[rainbow]CON[/rainbow]
Uses Hashtables
Affects can be a tab bit overpowered.
~~Knockbacks aren't 'perfect.'~~ That's fixed.

This is original right? There's only like 10 others? Still original?

Considering that about 7 out of 10 are rejected/non mui, this was made. Also, few include lightning and fire...

This was intended for a friend to help, but he was unable to. We were trying to create a spellpack. Thus, this was my half of the pack.

Note that I feel this is my best work overall - pictures don't really describe it. Just... test it.

The extra buffs have to be applied when both effects are active.
Example: You cast blast burn, wait a bit, then cast lightflare. Blast Burn crashed down, and because the units are in the lightflare group, they receive the 2x stun duration.

1 = Lightflare
2 = Blast Burn
3 = Ice Shatter
4 = Electric Storm
5 = Darkness Overflow

100+ Hits in 3 days - Thanks guys ^.^

I'm checking it out
one minute.

EDIT:
I will be constantly editting this post for the next 10-20 minutes.

1- Using hashtables is definitely not a con.

2- Anytime you create lightning, try to use the Custom script for it because it will give it Z (height)
This way, it'll look MUCH better (Give it a Z of about 35.00 - 40.00)

...

3- You may be moving lightning and giving it height, but if you create it with the custom script too, it would
be better (idk how, but it will lol ;p)

4- If you want to make your Knockback better all by yourself and be proud of it, use math and linear functions.

5- Make sure your speed will decrease exponentially.

For example:

This is how the speed should decrease over a time of 3 seconds:

...

Is darkness overflow MUI? Idk.. it just seems like it should bug with the "DarkTrig" integer.

I like the fact you're using SetUnitX / SetUnitY

That's the end of my review for this spell.
It's time for me to go to sleep now before my dad finds me xD
Good night.

Rating and Comment:

5/5
I see no flaws in your spells.
Just fix the knockback and some other things i pointed out.
Good Job!

EDIT:
One more thing i forgot to mention: The linear function i used for the diagram in Microsoft Excel is y = Sqrt(x)
I'll attatch the file if you want.
One minute.

NVM - Xlsx files are not supported here.
I gave it in a screenshot:

Good luck

Archangel678 · Apr 7, 2011

Thanks!

I'll see about editing the lightning - ~~The knockbacks aren't perfect mostly due to it may move into a cliff and out, usually the case with most knockbacks. I'll defiantly look through them though.~~ - Done.

I'll give you rep when I can.

Oh, and Darkness is Mui. It turns off when it reaches 0, thus, It should work. If anyone sees any bugs I'll fix 'em.

Magtheridon96 · Apr 7, 2011

Thanks

I'm glad you appreciate what i do

.. Unlike SOME people *looks at the guy who made "Hive's Spellpack" -.-* lol

Good luck and Good night

Wew... That holy spell is extraordinary.... I like it all 5/5
As for the triggering, well it appears leakless, and efficient. Good job

Sorry for double post but could you help me with a spell?

Archangel678 · Apr 9, 2011

Thanks ColourCloud!

If you go to 'Go Advanced' there's a button at the top that says 'delete post'. You can delete the double post through that.

This spell uses arrays where by normal variables would be more suited. The only time an array should be used is if the index referenced is variable. Utalizing an array only via static indicies defeats its purpose and has the same results as using separate variables except that separate variables are faster as no index bytes have to be loaded.

Marsal · Apr 9, 2011

Such a nice bunch of spells and the effects are pretty good

The only problem I noticed is that when you spawn the Electric Storm it will only damage a unit once until there is any running instance.

5/5 ~.~

It's definetly a con because it's slower than indexing. But that's not a big problem until it's MUI ~.~

I'll see what I can update, any specifications will help alot.
I used arrays mostly for making my life easier, but if it makes the spells better/more efficient then I'll see what I can updated.

Thanks Marsal2000!
I didn't have any trouble with that - Could you tell me how your produced it?
(If its with the triggers point those out ^^)

Marsal · Apr 9, 2011

Of course! But I can't point in the trigger because I don't know how to use hashtables ~.~
For example: If you cast the spell 2 or more times in a sec (so you spawn it as hell) only the first one will damage the units and until all the instances are done this unit can't take more damage from this spell. Well it's maybe just for me, I don't know. A time ago I made a spell that had problems because some instances are bugged and I asked for help and attached the spell. The ones who tested the spell just didn't have that problem ~.~

Archangel678 · Apr 9, 2011

Found the problem ^^.

The trigger checks if the unit has the damage reduction buff. So it can't take the damage period after it obtains the buff. I'll update it immediately. Thanks again. ^^

Marsal · Apr 9, 2011

Glad to hear this

Magtheridon96 · Apr 15, 2011

Good Job Archangel

Just one more thing to increase efficiency.
In one of your triggers (I forgot which one since i'm writing this on the second page =P), you repeated the function (Last Created Unit) about 5-6 times xD
If you store the Last Created Unit in a variable, it'll be much faster.

And btw, i now agree that hashtables are a con, but they're only 2x slower than indexing, and indexing is pretty fast lol (for GUI XD)

Cryophoenix · Apr 17, 2011

I like this spell pack, already added your name to the credits list of spell makers. XD XD

The General · Jun 18, 2011

i have a probelm with electirc strom it keeps going to the side of the unit!?

Archangel678 · Jun 18, 2011

I did not have this problem, have you edited the spell at all? If so please post the triggers, screenshot, and the level of the ability. Also, check to see if the object editor dummy unit's collision size is 0 with flying as its movement type.

The General · Jun 27, 2011

it only happens with some units not all
