The triggering looks ok and the leak is gone.

The spell looks good to me. It´s MUI (you´re using indexing instead of hashtables what i find personally better) but i could find a small location leak. The visuals are ok and the idea is avarage. I like the fact that you put a lot of in-code comments in there but i there is no manual which describes how to import this spell.

To come back to the small leak, in Hatred Impulse B you have inlined PolarProjection to move your missile which does leak:

• Unit - Move HI_Missile[HI] instantly to (HI_Point[2] offset by HI_Speed[HI] towards HI_Angle[HI] degrees), facing HI_Angle[HI] degrees

I guess you know how to fix that so i don´t need to explain this.

All in all the spell is pretty decent, so i gotta say good work.

Thanathos, thank you a lot for help with Triggers in English =)

MUI. Leakless. Combination of special effects is really decent. Nevertheless, the spell itself isn't such a creative again.

I find the casting distance a bit high, cause I can damage units and they don't aggro on me, just stay at their place. Plus the AoE of the dummy ability is a bit high also - if you cast the spell at the same point for the second time - the units which are lighted up like "green" (which means, that they are at area of effect of the spell) don't get any damage/silence.

Also you Buff states: Slow / Silence. But there is no any slow effect as far as there is not any note of it in spell's description Fix that

As you see, most of mistakes are Object Editor

 

[cyberkid]

Leak fixed, Area of Effect and casting range reduced, other object mistakes fixed too.

Wtg

where do you set the intenger variable? and
at the end of HI impuls nova you only remove one location, why?

3/5 ... i saw more spells like that , but good triggering, effects and no leaks

Actually, your signature tells the lie, since there is no any of your resources approved
