[GUI]Malefice v1.0c [MUI]

Another tribute, now to my friend D4RK_G4ND4LF. Not difficult enough to make it worthy so I'll make one more for sure but it uses his way of indexing.

Enjoy.

DOCUMENTATION

Malefice v1.0c
by baassee

credits

bribe for indexer system (not needed if you use standalone stun system
me for stun system and spell
D4RK_G4ND4LF for his awesome way of indexing
icefrog for DOTA
-Berz- for testmap
unknown for the malefice idea for DOTA

Author's note

This spell was made as a tribute to another friend of mine - D4RK_G4ND4LF - so I coded it the way he was coding. I really should have made a more difficult spell but there will be one for sure but had to apply my stun system to something and people always love DOTA spells hehe.

Any of my stun system versions will work with this system.

Everything you need to know is explained if you follow the code comments.

Info

Focuses Darchrow's hatred on a target, causing it to take damage over time and become repeatedly stunned.

Level 1 - 30 damage and 1s stun every 2 seconds
Level 2 - 40 damage and 1s stun every 2 seconds
Level 3 - 65 damage and 1s stun every 2 seconds
Level 4 - 80 damage and 1s stun every 2 seconds

HOW TO IMPORT

1. Import dummy, dummystun and the spell.
2. Copy category named Spell into your map.
3. Fix broken tags like ability and turn on loop
4. Credit me (and bribe if you use indexer version).
5. Have fun with the spell.

You should have a configuration trigger that allows the user to modify the interval and duration, and possibly other things.

This way, you can avoid that whole If-Block crap and just set the interval for the new instance to Malefice_Interval[(Level of ...)].

By the way, (Ability being cast) is useless because I'm sure you already know what ability is being cast before runtime :p

I know, it makes it easier for the user to import the spell because he doesn't have to change more than one line, but to solve that, you can have a variable set to the ability in a configuration trigger.

It's a win-win :D

Right ability being cast, was just lazy I guess ^^ The other crap ain't a win-win as I explained in the PM.

EDIT:

v1.0b up, cache crap fixed

edit 2

v1.0c up formula fixed thanks to mag96, no shitty arrays needed as I said :D
