The spell was pretty original, at least from all the spells I have tried.
The coding was decent too.

• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move (Insanity_Point offset by ((Random real number between -2000.00 and 2000.00), (Random real number between -2000.00 and 2000.00)))

This point leaks, you shoud store it into variable either with "Insanity_Point" itself just before using it. Offset points need to be stored into variables too and then destroyed cause they leak too.

Then, about codding efficiency:

• Set Insane_Unit = (Casting unit)
• Set Insaneness_Copy = (Position of Insane_Unit)

And then:

• Set loc_Unit = (Position of (Casting unit))

What's the matter of doing this? You can easily spawn your dummy unit as Insaneness(Insaness?)_Copy. The rules say: "If you can do smth w/o variables, make it w/o them!" The same for this:

• Set loc_UnitEnemy = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))

You had already set the variable for this. So for the efficency and reducing the range of useless variables and so speeding up the process for some NANO-seconds ( ) you'd better remake this somehow.

About the idea:

Well, great!
Really!

I was impressed much, didn't expect to see such a creative and interesting work. It's the next newest thing which I find here after Jonny's Man-Eating plant.

I think, I can give you 4/5 before fixing leaks and removing these variables. Then I'll put 5/5 and vote using this mini-moderator thing.

EDIT: And can you please move the starting location to location of the hero or to the point between two heroes?

 

[Deuterium]

hey Aspard, long time you haven't been around... umm and since you reviewed, I won't bother

 

[Nackel]

Ok it's updated with the appropriate fixes.
And i changed the start location just for you Aspard. XD

 

[Deuterium]

I don't get what this spell is supposed to do ok you run away, then?

Think of it as a escape spell, you have 50 hp left and a hero is right on your tail.. You cast insanity on him, become invisible and he gets slowed.. I.E. You escape.
And to add a true characterization of Insanity, you start seeing ghosts, and may even take severe damage in the process.

Or you could just use it on an opponent to finish him off..

 

[Deuterium]

ohh, well sounds funny but cool

 

[Fear_the_Night]

It is currently totally leakless!

Yes, I can't see the ghosts when I cast it on others!

I like how the enemy is slow buffed as well!

4.9/5 Campaign - Leakless, and amazing. (For those who use it for campaign might want to make ghosts visible)
4.9/5 Multiplayer - Perfect

Add some instruction in the comments of the trigger. It is very easy to copy over, but people like instructions. The want to know what variables are used. What abilities, units, buffs, and etc. Until, you add that you will never see 5/5. Even if it is awesome!!! (Which it is)

 

[Guishiu]

SO this is the spell The Faceless guy casts on your party in Old Kingdom. GREAT JOB on it. =D
I started to go WTF because when i cast it on the other guy he wasnt getting hurt, but it was the ghosts being randomly placed too far away. Good Job 5/5

Well if you had slight Jass knowledge, you could work it so that only the unit that has the Insane buff would hear and see the ghosts, but I'm not sure if that might 'cause de-syncs...

In GUI you just use Custom Scripts for the Jass parts... simple.

>.< That IS what happens. Only the insane unit can see the ghosts.

Well, yeah, that guy is true, did you check the spell at all?

 

[Deuterium]

Ooops, guess I went insane xD

 

[incinerate11]

GetLocalPlayer() won't cause desyncs with hiding units.
Not sure about ghosts' sounds but I havent tried this spell so dont know if there are sounds.

Anyways it shouldn't desync as far as I know

 

[Kam]

How do you adjust the duration? None of the duration fields in any of the three spells have an effect.

 

[Bovu]

Nice spell.

 

[MrMoonCrow]

Very interisting
4/5
