How Would I make this MUI?

[Assassins-Creed]

Be very descriptive on how to make this MUI please,I attempted to make a chidori MUI spell but it failed and im not sure what to do,I attempted making this using the dynamic indexing system.

Triggers

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Chidori
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Index Equal to 0
    • Then - Actions
      • Trigger - Turn on SpellLoop <gen>
    • Else - Actions

For the first time dynamic indexing?
That makes your spell non MUI:

• Set IndexTemp = Index

It should be:

• Set IndexTemp = IndexReg[Index]

Also, better add this part in loop after reducing the size of Intex.

• Set Index = (Index - 1)
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Index Equal to 0
  • Then - Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
  • Else - Actions

Also, don't remove leaks this way:

• Set ChidoriPoint = (Position of Caster[IndexTemp])
• Set ChidoriPoint2 = (Position of Victim[IndexTemp])
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Distance between ChidoriPoint and ChidoriPoint2) Greater than or equal to 195.00
  • Then - Actions
    • <stuff here>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ChidoriPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ChidoriPoint2)
  • Else - Actions
    • <stuff here>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ChidoriPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ChidoriPoint2)

It's anaccurate, use:

• Set ChidoriPoint = (Position of Caster[IndexTemp])
• Set ChidoriPoint2 = (Position of Victim[IndexTemp])
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Distance between ChidoriPoint and ChidoriPoint2) Greater than or equal to 195.00
  • Then - Actions
    • <stuff here>
  • Else - Actions
    • <stuff here>
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ChidoriPoint)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ChidoriPoint2)

It'd would recomened only when you want to minimalize amount of variables using them multiple times but as I can see you don't do such thing nor require it.

index system requires at least 3 integer variable...

remove this...

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• Index Greater than IndexMax
• Then - Actions
• Set IndexReg[Index] = Index
• Set IndexMax = Index

then...
Set Index = (Index + 1)
Set Index2 = (Index2 + 1)
Set Caster[Index2] = (Triggering unit)
ALL VARIABLES, must be referenced as index2

in the loop...
For each (Integer ALoop) from 1 to Index2, do (Actions)
then ALL must be referenced as "ALoop"

Distance between points should be saved as real first...

• Set ChidoriPoint = (Position of Caster[ALoop])
• Set ChidoriPoint2 = (Position of Victim[ALoop])
• Set Distence = (Distance between ChidoriPoint and ChidoriPoint2)
  • if Distance Greater than or equal to 195.00

 

[Bannar]

There are about 3 differend indexing systems being used by GUI users in current state and at first you have to recognize which one is used before actually trying to fix the whole spell/system.
mckill2009 I didn't know you haven't been using dynamic indexing in GUI.

He should not remove:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Index Greater than IndexMax
  • Then - Actions
    • Set IndexReg[Index] = Index
    • Set IndexMax = Index
  • Else - Actions

But change the TempInt part:

• Set IndexTemp = Index

So whore indexing hook looks like:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Index Greater than IndexMax
  • Then - Actions
    • Set IndexReg[Index] = Index
    • Set IndexMax = Index
  • Else - Actions
• Set IndexTemp = IndexReg[Index]

then...
Set Index = (Index + 1)
Set Index2 = (Index2 + 1)
Set Caster[Index2] = (Triggering unit)
ALL VARIABLES, must be referenced as index2

in the loop...
For each (Integer ALoop) from 1 to Index2, do (Actions)
then ALL must be referenced as "ALoop"

Wrong. You are talking about inefficient, old Paladons Indexing system. Nowadays GUI users should use either Hanky's dynamic indexing or Bride's Unit Indexer and there is no doubt about that.

I was the one who told Assasin-Greed to learn that indexing because it's far more efficient and enables you to recycle instances immidiately by:

• Set IndexReg[ALoop] = IndexReg[Index]
• Set IndexReg[Index] = IndexTemp
• Set Index = (Index - 1)
• Set ALoop = (ALoop - 1)

What you can not do in standard indexing which uses 3 integers: instance, current instance, loop index.

Distance between points should be saved as real first...

• Set ChidoriPoint = (Position of Caster[ALoop])
• Set ChidoriPoint2 = (Position of Victim[ALoop])
• Set Distence = (Distance between ChidoriPoint and ChidoriPoint2)
  • If Distance Greater than or equal to 195.00

Good point here. It's more efficient to save distance as real in main/cast trigger and later only refer to that real value, reducing it with each loop.

 

[mckill2009]

hanky's system too complicated, paladons system is still usable nowadays, its like comparing JASS to vJASS...

show me hanky's system and I'll make paladons' which is much much easier to read...besides, hanky's calls many functions, making it slower...

EDIT:
I've used hanky's system but I disregard it...

 

[Bannar]

It's still usable, I still like it and was using for years but since everything develop it's nice to use systems that reduce lagg and makes spells smoother. In Paladon's you have to wait untill all instances are finished to actually recycle them. Template.

Afterall, Hanky's uses one index more, the fifth one is just to make users like easier, since we do not have to write: 'TempInt = Index[IndexSize]' or 'TempInt = Index[Loop]' since we can write it manually: instead of Caster[TempInt], Caster[Index[IndexSize]] but it sucks to click so many times - twice per one array.

 

[mckill2009]

In Paladon's you have to wait untill all instances are finished to actually recycle them.

Wrong. When the spell is finished, then it's recycled (Im talking of INDEX1)...

Anyway, which is better to read...

[Bannar]

mckill2009 Index1 is recycled great, but loop trigger still runs through LoopIndex to Index2 meaning that even if there are proper conditions which prevent from executing finished instance function still has to check them. Dynamic indexing provides way to eliminate all used instances and thats what really count here as a comparison.

Ye, there is no doubt that Paladon's is cleaner
Thats why most users start with that one.

Thanks guys! Uh...why are you basically "stalking" my new threads o-O.I see you guys in like,every thread i post lol.
