Review for Spell

The tooltip is pretty... amateur. The code is also inefficient, meaning it has a lot of leaks and could be extremely simplified. It's also very laggy.

Rejected

1st impression: Leaks
I will make a review soon.
:::::::::::.

Known errors you should fix:
1: Location leaks (lots of them)
2: Dummys (no locust on them)
3: Not MUI

Downloading...

[calex3]

Review ...

1 : Laggs Heavy

2 : Leaks HEAVY

3 : Not MUI using waits kills it for beings MUI

4 : 4 triggers for only one spell :O ..

Summary : Rejected !

 

[xxdingo93xx]

1.) You are leaking locations
2.) This spell is not MUI
These are the main reasons why this will not be approved in the future.

The spell itself looks odd. The frozen circle uses way too much freeze-effects.
The pentacle does not really look "cold" with the runes but that is a matter of taste ...
All in all this spell is a nice idea but needs some improvement in graphics and A LOT in code efficiency. 2/5 from me.

 

[Yearight]

Just a massive spam of effects. You should really cut down on them.

 

[Deuterium]

I must say, effect wise, AMAZING! Efficiency wise, ZERO!

 

[calex3]

but it's nice idea ...only thing it laggs! and leaks...if it get fixed could get 3.7/5

 

[Roflcoptor]

All things said by other people so I don't even dare testing it, but what I see is a white star and a circle of about ~100-300 SFX's.

This tells me, that you use a lot of special effects, causing huge lagg

 

[Deuterium]

Actually the lag is due to the 0.01 timer.
My advice, let him go for 0.04 and decrease the SFX count by half, or even two thirds... it'll still look the same, even less crowded and nice

 

[Roflcoptor]

Ok some numbers:

• Trigger "Star" 229 location leaks per cast (lvl1) 429 location leaks per cast (lvl2) 629 location leaks per cast (lvl3)
• Trigger "Star Loop1" 250 location leaks per cast
• Trigger "Star Loop2" 3300 location leaks per cast, 300 playerforce leaks

HOLY SH***

that is quite a lot. Fiy them!!!

Btw english only

Other than this nice spell

Originality: 0:40

 

[Yearight]

Gj Rolfcoptor, no one can escape justice!

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

there is no need for 2/3 - 3/4 of your triggering cause NOTHING happens but animation after the first nova thing.....
and the stuff moves with you if you don't stand still but it might be wanted that way oO

 

[Yearight]

Oh yea, I would give this 2/5 because of heavy leaks, lag, spam of effects, and the lightning moves with you and the ending effects moves with you.

Edit forgot two things, not MUI and dummies can be selected.

 

[Jrba]

It doesnt really lagg me except if cast 2-3 at same time, except that it's cool.

EDIT: could be better
EDIT EDIT: what would the spell be for?
My rating: 3.5/10.01

 

[Lambdadelta]

Nice.

I like it, it is very eyecandyish.... but... it is not MUI.... and if it was.... it would probably lag like hell (Mine doesn't.... 9600 GT ).

Like above said:
Dummy unit can be selected.

 

[f0rsAk3n]

Haha check this out man


The effects didn't disappear and i started building a Castle

"Submissions must be bugless and leakless."
"Submissions must scale; spells must support multiple players (and, if in Jass, be fully multi unit instanceable) and systems must support large numbers of the objects they affect, if applicable (In the case of player systems, they must support up to the maximum of 12/16)."
"Submissions must not lag the game on a decent computer."
"Submissions must be reasonably efficient—excessively overcomplicated/inefficient code will be rejected."

Let me tell you what you need, a cliff.

 

[gaby-boy]

Sorry guys, it's my first attempt at creating a spell that I think could worth being posted on the forum. I'm a beginner, I started mapping some months ago but then I discoverthis site, it helpoed me a lot, I love this forum and all the support I can get from you guys, I'm open to corrections, as well as tutorials, sorry if it lagged on your comps, I may have did something wrong, it worked well on mine. Thanks for downloading.

 

[Gaara]

I give this +5 thisis a good spell!=)

 

[The-Rave]

good spell, but why the ice circle don't dissapear even the spell has done?
It sometimes happens.

Deuterium's Brief Review:

Ice Star v.1.46

Although I must say that this has great creativity considering visuals, triggering is very inefficient and leaks heavily. That's beside the heavy in-game lag due to spamming of special effects. This needs to be totally reworked and improved. Until then, I'd advice people not to use this.

Well I'm not giving this a full review since the triggers as whole entities need to be reworked. I'll advice you to read the Essentials Tutorial since it should have all the information you need to improve this.

 

[Squiggy]

Perish before the power of fail

 

[Jaret]

just make the dummies un-selectable.
