[Solved] Hash tables #2

[NightSkyAurora]

First of all, I feel bad for posting so many threads. I'll try my best not to make a new thread for the next 3 days.
on topic: I created a custom spell based on shadow strike. For every second the target loses 75 HP, it takes 25 extra damage. lasts 8 seconds. (Ignore HashVoid, thats a diffirent spell)

            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from DevolateGroup
            • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key (Picked unit)) in HashDevolate

Once the target passed the 75 HP mark, it leads to a chain effect that damge the unit every 0.1 secs of game time. Any help please?

I recommend not creating so many hashtables.
One hastable can have 2^31 spaces inside it,which is very big enough for so many spells.
Also,because of the hashtable slot size,you can only have 256 hashtables per map.

• Hashtable - Save (Integer((Life of (Picked unit)))) as 1 of (Key (Target unit of ability being cast)) in HashDevolate

This is the reason why it doesn't work.
You must use Key(Picked Unit).

Also,i think you do not care about computer interpretation speed so nvm what will i suggest

Thanks Almia, it works now and thanks for the tips.

The spell wasn't finish yet. I just wanted to get the spell to work. After that I upgrade and improve it so the computer doesn't have to work so fast.
