Remove invulnerability from caster, it has locust so it is already invulnerable.
You don't need to turn off the colluision of the dummy with a trigger, the dummy has locust .
The ability shouldn't pause the caster.
You're creating an effect every 0.03 seconds. That's kind of too much.
You could create one when the spell begins and destroy it when the spell end. Or just create less effects.
Playing a unit's animation every 0.03 seconds is not a good solution.
You could use follwo through time on the ability or manipulate animation speed and order a animation when the spell is cast.
It would be nice that the caster didn't travel that far of if one could manipulate the travel length.
Being able to stop at any time would be a bonus and please many users.
You can travel through trees and buildings, is that what you want?
If the caster stops at a map edge or at a cliff, the lightning still moves.

Nice spell. You do improved a lot.
This two custom scripts

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HS_PickedPoint)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HS_PickedOffPoint)

should put outside of the unit group

My comment is that it travels too far. My suggestion is that you should make it so that it stop at the target point instead of travel so far away towards the target point. Besides that, maybe you should add in some better effects during the loop; making it looks like dragging the caster. Good job!
4/5 Vote for approval I can vote for 5/5 if you can update it so that the caster stops at the target point.

EDIT:
- dummy's death type should be "Can't raise, Does not decay"
- turn off the collision of dummy; set the collision to 0
suggestion: adjust the shadow of the dummy to make it looks nicer

ok,thanks for the suggestions

You should save the angle of it as a real for the loop. I'm not sure about it, but other things that change angle could possibly break spell, if I'm correct.

Filter out magic immune units from the damage. You need to make the dummy explode on death, cant raise doesnt decay isn't needed.

 

[Jay the Editor]

cant raise doesnt decay isn't needed.

How come? Maker always reminded me to do that. Every time I created a spell and Maker will give a comment "Change the dummy's death type to Can't raise, Doesn't decay" as I always forgot to.

 

[Jazztastic]

If it explodes it can't be raised. I'm pretty sure that covers it.

 

[Jay the Editor]

Oh.. I see.. thanks hehe ><

 

[Exavier00]

awww... i goes out of bounds...

↑ Yep.

The lightning isn't linked between the hero and dummy, you could use the function: 'call MoveLightningEx().'

MoveLightningEX - Example:

• Custom script: set udg_Tmp_R1 = GetLocationZ(udg_HS_CasterPoint) + GetUnitFlyHeight(udg_HS_Caster[udg_HS_TempInt]) + 40.
• Custom script: set udg_Tmp_R2 = GetLocationZ(udg_HS_OffPoint) + GetUnitFlyHeight(udg_HS_Dummy[udg_HS_TempInt])
• Custom script: call MoveLightningEx(udg_HS_LightningEffect[udg_HS_TempInt], true, GetLocationX(udg_HS_CasterPoint), GetLocationY(udg_HS_CasterPoint), udg_Tmp_R1, GetLocationX(udg_HS_OffPoint), GetLocationY(udg_HS_OffPoint), udg_Tmp_R2)

Damn.. Stupid Custom Script character limit ¬¬.

 

[Maker]

Dummies should be usually set to can't raise, does not decay.

Units with locust won't be raised anyway. The decaying is important. If a unit is set to decay, it will remain there for the duration of flesh + bone decaying. Flesh dacay time is bout 8 seconds and bone decay is 88 seconds. If a unit is set to not decay, the bone decay time is skipped and the dummy is removed sooner from the game.

Thanks Maker,i had refixed the bugs.

Having a unit explode completely negates the need for this, or am I just being an idiot?

It does not negate the need so...

 

[Jazztastic]

It does not negate the need so...

So why do we always put "explode unit" after we make dummy units? (And yes I'm an idiot )

 

[Maker]

It was believed that using unit - remove action would cause a leak. And that making the unit explode on death and using a timed life would not leak. However I believe it was DSG debunked that myth. One does not need to make dummies explode on death.

4.5/5 overall...coz it cant go through mountains and it will stuck!!
