how the hell do you make/copy spells easier?

[caleman]

so lets say i have a spell and i want to copy paste it to make another similar to it, but you have to change all the variables and stuff, is there a way to make this easier and faster than clicking every single thing and creating a new variable? for example "caster" "caster1"

 

[Chaosy]

I'm afraid there is no other way, you have to do it the best way you can

set all of the variables on Unit - Unit starts the effect of an ability.

Also, you can go to File > Preferences > Automatically create unknown variables when pasting trigger data. This will automatically create the variable if u paste it into the map but dont have the variable

 

[caleman]

you mean not putting everything into variables? wouldnt that cause leaks or problems? elaborate please

also yeah i know the second thing but thats not related to what im asking

For vJass users, it is very easy. The code is in text form, can be simply copied and transformed. You encapsulate code, thereby creating private namespaces. You only have to change one identifier then.

dam, i know nothing about vjass hard to learn?

No, it's verbose. Take a look into the manual and search for library, scope or struct.
