Advantages and system limitations:
Pros:
Importing:
How to import:
1.Open the World Editor
2. File->Preferences-> Tick the box for "Automatically create unkown variables while pasting trigger data"
3.Copy all triggers in the "Any Ability Aura Multiple 3" category to your map
4.Copy the ability "AAAM3GroupAbil" to your map.
5.Set the variable "AAAM3_GROUPABIL" variable to your newly copied ability int he trigger "AAAM3 Setup"
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
After you have deleted what you don't need, you can follows the steps in the easy method.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION (The guide might be a bit lacking here)
Configurable Settings: GUI
Note: If you want to change the frequency of the periodic checks, the events are added in the "AAAM3 Setup" Trigger.
How to add a new aura: Video (for version 2.0, slight diference in this version)
1. Open Trigger Editor and select "AAAM Setup" trigger
2. Increase the "Aura_Number" variable by 1
4. Copy and paste one of the templates of auras (only spellbook-based abilities need to be disabled for all players)
5. Increase all the variable indexes of your pasted template to the appropriate number
6. Change all values of variables in your pasted index to reflect the values of your new aura. Just follow the guidelines in the Trigger Comment
How to configure which units enter the CycleArray:
Note: Units not in the array aren't affected by custom aura effects
Note: Structures are disabled by default and as an example
It's just a matter of adding conditions in two different places:
Trigger - "AAAM3 Process New Units"
Add your conditions to the first "if" in this trigger(don't touch "(Triggering Unit) Not Equal to (Last Replaced Unit)").
Trigger - "AAAM3 Setup"
Under the comment "Adding units to the Cycle array:":
Custom Events:
Version 2.0.0 added optional custom events to the System. In version 3.0.0 the events are built-in.
Events include:
-When the periodic trigger cycle begins running (no units have been checked) (0.3)
The event will fire for units that are aura sources. If you don't want to do anything if the unit is an aura source, just add the following condition to your trigger:
The test map comes with 2 examples of coding-enhanced auras, please analyze them for a better understanding of the system. For a guide to the events, see the trigger comment in the trigger "AAAM Periodic Event"
Operations Limit:
Note: if you do these without calling the custom script the aura won't work
Version 3.0.0 has made all garbage cleanup automatic
Add any auras you want to the unit

Any Ability Aura Multiple
Unnamed tab 2
What this system will give you:
A simple way to make custom auras that can have almost any effect you wish for. These auras can be based on any aura ability in the object editor, and they will function exactly like default auras work in-game (except for their effects).
The effects of this custom auras can be any ability you want (well, the ones wc3 allows you
), or you can do a lot more using the custom events provided to run code for your custom aura effect (examples in the testmap)
The targets you want to be affected can be easily determined in the aura's object editor data, or you can filter out more specific targets by filtering targets or using custom events to remove the aura effects from targets you do not want it to affect.
A very small amount of resources is needed to run this system, and it is optimized to consume as little as possible (if there are no units with na aura in the map, no checks will be run for that aura in the periodic trigger, thus you only process what you really need). Of course, if you have A LOT of units in your map and a large amount of auras, some loss of performance can occur.
Another optimization is that there are two periodic triggers, designed to require the least amount of resources depending on how many units there are in your map. When the ammount of units goes below or above a certain threshold, the system will switch between the two periodic triggers.
The system runs almost entirely on the backround, removing any leaks automatically with it's own CleanUP system. The only time you WILL need to run special code is when you add a custom aura ability to a unit through triggers, or when a unit transforms to another unit that has custom auras, and it didn't have those auras before. (see special operations section)
The test hap has been tested with 8000+ footmen, which reduced my fps from 60 to 50. At ~6000 there was no noticeable performance decrease. Number of auras was 5.
Unfortunately, Warcraft 3 auras consume resources, so getting 500+ units with auras is going to greatly affect performance.

Advantages and system limitations:
Pros:
-Consumes very little memory
-If you only have around 1000 units in your map at a time, you should be able to support over 40 aura types at the same time.
-Easy configuration
Cons:-If you only have around 1000 units in your map at a time, you should be able to support over 40 aura types at the same time.
-Easy configuration
-Auras can only have one level, so it is better used for items and unit auras
-You can make multiple level auras, but they will consume resources equivalent to 3 auras
-The more units you have, the less aura types you can support at the same time
-You can make multiple level auras, but they will consume resources equivalent to 3 auras
-The more units you have, the less aura types you can support at the same time
Aura Source = Unit that has an aura Ability (may or may not be a target).
Aura Target = Unit that has an aura Buff
Cycle Array = A variable unit array that contains all the units that are being checked for aura buffs
Aura Target = Unit that has an aura Buff
Cycle Array = A variable unit array that contains all the units that are being checked for aura buffs
-Any unit that enters the map and meets user-defined conditions is added to the Cycle Array
-A periodic trigger fires every 0.3 seconds, checking every unit in the Cycle Array:
-A periodic trigger fires every 0.3 seconds, checking every unit in the Cycle Array:
Adds abilties to the units, if they have the aura buff
Removes abilities from units, if they do not have the buff
-The number of units with Auras is counted by the system, so the periodic triggers will only check for auras that are activeRemoves abilities from units, if they do not have the buff
Importing:

Under the comment "Adding units to the Cycle array:":
Just go to the "if/then/else" inside the For Loop and add your conditions there
Custom Events:
Version 2.0.0 added optional custom events to the System. In version 3.0.0 the events are built-in.
Events include:
-When the periodic trigger cycle begins running (no units have been checked) (0.3)
-When a unit is being checked in the periodic trigger for aura buffs (0.1)
-When the periodic trigger cycle finishes (all units have been checked) (0.4)-When a unit gains an aura buff (aura number)
-When a unit loses an aura buff (aura number + number of auras + 1)
-When a loses ALL aura buffs (0.5)
-When a unit finishes being checked (0.2)-When a unit loses an aura buff (aura number + number of auras + 1)
-When a loses ALL aura buffs (0.5)
The event will fire for units that are aura sources. If you don't want to do anything if the unit is an aura source, just add the following condition to your trigger:
-
(Level of (Aura_AURAS[index]) for (Aura_TrigUnit)) Equal to 0
The test map comes with 2 examples of coding-enhanced auras, please analyze them for a better understanding of the system. For a guide to the events, see the trigger comment in the trigger "AAAM Periodic Event"
Operations Limit:
The warcraft engine only runs a limited number of operations per thread (a thread is usually a trigger or a ForGroup loop). So if you have too many auras and too many units, you may reach the Operations Limit for this system, causing the trigger to stop working.
In order to avoid this, change the variable "AAAM3_CycleStep" in the "AAAM3 Setup" trigger. The default step of 800 can handle 5 auras and 8000+ units in the CycleArray with some leeway, so you might not have to change this. To be safe, you can use the formula:
CycleStep = [Number of Units Expected] / ([Number of Auras]*2)
You can change CycleStep during the game, but make sure that the event variable is equal to 0.4 when you do.

I made a few core changes that make this work pretty differently from the other system, but the other system still has a few advantages that makes it more effective in some situations, so I wanted to keep both. But I ran into some big problems with the other method, so I asked to have it sent to substandard until I figure it out.
Of course, if moderators think it's better to delete it until I get it fixed or have both systems in the same resource, I would happily comply too. It's in the description in red text (I was editing as you posted :S)
I can also change the name if you think it's too confusing/unorganized to have 2 versions with the same name

Yeah I read that part, but I was confused as to why they both have the same exact name.
Is it enough to justify a second upload?

Well, if I can get the other one working, it will only cycle through relevant units, so performance should be fairly better in situations where units unaffected by auras highly outnumber units affected. That system however, supports less units with auras because they demand extra calculations/resources. The system currently works, but it bugs if a unit with an aura is silenced
This system cycles through all units in the map (except if you filter buildings or certain unit types or whatever you want, then those will not be considered). It also doesn't need map header JASS functions (it can be GUI only, but the GUI periodic trigger is so slow, I don't see the point). It also has an automatic leak deletion, but I think I could add that to the other system. Units with auras will consume basically just as much as a normal unit would (except by the resources that wc3 auras already take)
Sorry if that's not enough to warrant two versions, then this can be deleted and I'll just move it over to the other one and see what I'll do about the old version.
Though I agree that having the same name is a bit confusing now that I think about it :S

UPDATE: Finally updated to version 3.1.0 , took a bit longer than I had expected xD
Changes:
EDIT: Oh no, I changed the title and it went to the top of submissions :S
Changes:
Readded Groupabil from old version.
Made triggers a lot simpler, maintaining the same functionality (though add source may be a tad bit slower)
Things are a lot more readable and maintainable now
Hashtable variable is no longer required, it has now been deleted

Thanks for the submission and I apologize for it taking so long to get around to this system in the section, I have a few things I'd like to address in regards to it:
- What's the purpose of having both JASS and GUI periodic triggers? Couldn't the system be entirely in JASS and reduced to a single trigger? I furthermore don't entirely understand why all the GUI triggers aren't in JASS except the initialization one and all put into one trigger, lines upon lines of un-highlighted custom script is awkward to go through you know XD
- You have a group leak in your initialization (leaks 16 times)
- There's no point putting an empty else block in, just use endif by itself
- Use the not() function on boolean expressions if you would only use the else (you do this with if GetUnitTypeId(udg_Aura_TrigUnit) == 0 then)
- You have indentation errors in your JASS code, also stylistically I suggest spreading out logical blocks a bit more to make the code more readable
- There's a lot of obscure numbers for the event triggers and they're not exactly clear
- Your recycling method is odd, why cleanup every aura at once instead of de-allocating each one as necessary? It just seems really messy and well bad frankly
- Your recycle also is leaking many groups (tempGroup needs to be nulled every time before you use CreateGroup() again, not just at the end as groups are agents
- Also your last SourceGroup is never destroyed whenever you run the cleanup, while the number of these you "leak" never goes up, there's no need to be leaking any at all and I can't see any reason to not also clean that one up
For those reasons I'm going to set this to needs fix, I hope you have the time to fix up the system as it's quite a neat idea generally
The system appears otherwise sound from the things mentioned above though I'll obviously need to go through it again after changes have been made, oh thought I'd mention you left the WIP part of your description accidentally XD

I was cleaning them all at once mainly because I wanted to avoid having Bribe's Indexer as a requirement :S
But This cannot work for ressurection properly unless I use Bribe's indexer, so there's nowhere to run to, unfortunately.
Also, I was working on this before so the version I have is qutie different from this one here, I'll get to work on it again when I can spare some time. I'll just get rid of all the groups and make an actual recycle method.
I was trying to make as much GUI as possible so GUI users could understand what was going on in the system, but that ended up creating some messy code, sorry xD

You can just implement your own indexing instead of using Bribe's indexer if you so wish, it's not like it's the only way to achieve the same effect/efficiency
Eitherway that's fair enough - I look forward to seeing the updated version

The only leaks I found are in the "Command" triggers which occur on chat events. The ones associated with the actual aura example & system do not appear to leak anywhere.How can such a system, with many unfixed leaks, have 900+ downloads
So the system doesn't seem to be leaking; rather only the stuff that people wouldn't actually copy into their map is leaking. Hence I don't see a problem.

U sure ?
Tank-Commander reported, at a date superior to last map version:
- You have a group leak in your initialization (leaks 16 times).
- Your recycle also is leaking many groups (tempGroup needs to be nulled every time before you use CreateGroup() again, not just at the end as groups are agents.
- Also your last SourceGroup is never destroyed whenever you run the cleanup, while the number of these you "leak" never goes up, there's no need to be leaking any at all and I can't see any reason to not also clean that one up.
Or maybe are those not leaking anymore in recent W3 versions ?
- Units owned by player (GUI) / GetUnitsOfPlayerAll (Jass).
- Not nullifying the group variable after calling "DestroyGroup", as groups are agents.

1) the Init trigger doesn't matter as much. It is just part of the demo.
2) >
3) that may be, and is a fair point.

About 3) "Your last SourceGroup is never destroyed whenever you run the cleanup":
After reading the code I'm not fully understanding why the last group is not removed ? Indeed in AA3M Clean SourceGroups he runs a loop from 0 to Aura_Number, and inside this loop he calls DestroyGroup(udg_Aura_SourceGroup[<index>]). Did you figure out why Tank-Commander said it was leaking ?

Well I said ambiguously that it "may be" the case, not that it for sure was. If you think it isn't leaking, then you might be right. But I haven't studied it well enough to determine an outcome.
