Created by JeffQ a.k.a JeffreyQ, SmileyJeff
Version distributed by other people are edited and not by me.
I recommend all users who downloaded this to re-download as i revamp the chain system and it is alot alot more polish now than before and more flexible as i remove the ChainEffect ability creation limitation. Cheers~
1. Please do give credits if you use this in your map.
2. This is fully MUI/GUI using indexing
3. Supports alot of things (Atleast those chain ideas that i got for my map)
Q: Why is it version 1.11 as this is your 1st version?
A: Because i edited 11 times before removing all of the bugs and finally submitting this polish version (So far no bugs i found yet)
Q: Why is the picture you used for this system so ugly?
A: Sorry, my photoshop sucks ]:
Additional Knowledge to Use this System
- Object Editor (Unit/Ability/Buff)
Q: Why do i need to know the object editor?
A: I base alot of things on it. And to create effects you need to use it.
Q: Why do i want to use this?
A: Its easy to use. You can customize alot of things, from damage, to jump count, jump delay between chains. Hit both ally and enemy, steal gold, mana, health, damage add your own effects etc. etc.
How to Implement?
***You can also download the map, the below step by step tutorial is included in the map's README
======================
How to Use?
======================
If your map is a New Map without any triggers:
1. Open JeffQ's Basic Chain System map.
2. Open Trigger Editor.
3. File > Export Triggers.
4. Open your map.
5. Open Trigger Editor.
6. File > Import Triggers.
7. Remember to copy the Dummy over too.
OR
If your map has existing triggers:
1. Open JeffQ's Basic Chain System map.
2. Copy JeffQ's Chain System folder by right-clicking it and select Copy.
3. Open your map.
4. File > Preference > Check "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data".
5. Open Object Editor. Create a Dummy base on anything, name it Dummy and give it locust and remove its model. Or just copy the dummy from my map.
6. Open Trigger Editor.
7. Right click on the Map Name, or any other trigger/category/comments, and select Paste.
8. Create a variable by pressing CTRL+B and name it QJCS_ChainZ of type Real, array size of 1.
9. Go to "Chain Create" Trigger, find any Disabled Actions, enable it by right clicking and check Enable.
10.Go to "Chain Jump" Trigger, find any Disabled Actions, enable it by right clicking and check Enable.
11.Go to "Chain effect" Trigger, find any Disabled Actions, enable it by right clicking and check Enable.
Limitations
Q: What?! There are limitations?
A: Only Stun and Slow ability have limitations. This is because i order the dummy to human - storm bolt and human sorc - slow in the system.
Flexibility
I did say this system is very flexible except for the few limitations. Which are actually rules you have to follow to use this system. Try any combinations you want and let me know what results you get [: Almost everything stacks.
Briefly what it supports, detail explanation in README in the map.
- Damage enemies
- Heal Allies
- Steal Health
- Steal Mana
- Steal Gold
- Slow
- Stun
- Target Unit
- Target Point
- No Target
- MUI
- And many many more!
Currently In Map Spells:
- Chain Lightning (Typical with red lightning effect)
- Chain Heal (Heals ally and damage enemy)
- Chain Nova (AoE damage and slows enemy)
- Chain Steal (Steals enemy gold and transfer to self)
- Chain Siphon (Steal health and mana and transfer to self)
- Chain Sleep (Makes enemy sleep, wake on hit)
- Chain Polymorph (Change enemy units into random critters) new!
- Chain Invisibility (Change ally units to invisible) new!

- And other people if i miss out.
Special Thanks to Kingz who show me his simple lightning system. I learned alot from it and after understanding i made 1 my own to fit my system. +Rep
v2.00f, 24 Feb 2010
- Chain should no longer jump to buildings/structures.
- Some demo ability can still target buildings, this is because i didn't limit the target allowed at the ability editor. (Nothing to do with the system)
v2.00e, 31 Jan 2010
- Fix lightning height to match cliff or raised terrain.
- Added a raised terrain and cliff to test out.
v2.00d, 25 Jan 2010
- Rearrange Folder for easier implementing in other maps.
- Updated "How To Use" in the README to give a step by step tutorial on how to implement. Please do give it a read.
v2.00c, 24 Jan 2010
- Chain now gets unit height +25. Meaning that if you target a flying unit, the chain height will change accordingly.
- Added a few flying units to let you try out the dynamic chain height.
- Added Chain Globals Trigger to store Locust.
- Chain should now only jump to units that doesn't have locust (This should remove the limitation of where you need to only base all other ability dummies on my dummy as long as your custom dummies have locust).
v2.00b, 23 Jan 2010
- Lightning effect now won't stick to ground.
v2.00a, 23 Jan 2010
- Fix 2 major bugs that make the chain not MUI for chain effect and Stun effect. Due to setting the wrong index. Now it has been fixed and should no longer containt any more bugs! Thanks to my sis for testing out this with me [:
v2.00, 22 Jan 2010
- v2.00, 22 Jan 2010
- Revamp the chain effect system.
- Remove dummy type. You still have to copy the dummy to your map though.
- Remove finger of death limitations. Now you can choose your chain effect freely.
- Added a new Chain Effect Trigger.
- This allows the chain to follow the unit if it is moving.
- Polish code.
- Fixed a few bugs in code.
- Added Implementation Details Trigger and tidy up the Example 1-8 Implementations.
- Removed all (SFX) ability as now you can use the QJC_ChainSFX to set your lightning effect.
- Chain effect should look way more nicer now [:
v1.14, 22 Jan 2010
- Added 2 new abilities chain sheep and chain invisible to show the flexibility of this system and how to play around with stun/slow effect to your advantages.
v1.13a, 22 Jan 2010
- Added a sleep ability in the implementation after Kingz asked me what if he wanted to create a chain sleep. (No additional system code added).
- Fix several bugs.
v1.12, 21 Jan 2010
- Periodic Time change to 0.03seconds. And System Time update + 0.03 from 0.01.
v1.11a, 21 Jan 2010
- Fixed Implementation Example Comment for Chain Effect.
v1.11, 21 Jan 2010
- Initial Release.

chain, system, target, unit, point, no target, gui, mui, index, spell, pack, nova, slow, stun, gold, steal, lightning, siphon, damage, heal, sheep, in
Holy crap, triggers are too big. I dont saw code (and I will not look on it), but use 0,02-0.04 interval. 0,01 is 100 times per second and in gui it just killing your system.
once you learn vJASS you'll really like it... I found it easier to do things with it... well since I started using JASS I noticed that typing is really faster than clicking...
This is 1 of the limitations. If dummy has locust, they can't chain each other. On the next version, user shouldn't need to set the dummyType anymore. I am still testing this. No promise yet.
*sigh* I just realized that Paladon's Endless chain system is not in the spell section, he must have forgot to save it from the purge.
Anyway far better implementation would be:
set a trigger to a system variable
every time a chain hits the target execute that trigger
Since you are just throwing out far too much things here, example what if i want a chain spell that puts enemies to sleep?
Wouldn't it be easier if i would just set a Systems Trigger variable to a trigger i want executed (read: a trigger that casts sleep on a target) and then just fetch 2 variables from your system(caster/target units) instead of defining a hundred of booleans?
Also the fact you are basing your system on OE effects is lame, use real counters and GUI lightning.
I will give that a try [: Thanks for the feedback. I am still learning how to make systems more efficient as this is my 2nd system.
I've also tried GUI lightning, but i really fail at that because of creating and destroying. Still can't figure out an array inside an array to store them. What do you mean by real counters?
Real counters as in real variables which are used as counters(timers).
You increase their value and later check if it matches the needed value, if yes you do actions and revert them back to 0.
EDIT:
Attached a map with several systems, i suggest you look @ FadeLightning as it fades the lightning and destroys it upon fading, usefull for your system.
If you want i will implement index recycling in it but atm it is only a old submision i once uploaded here on THW.
To sumarize if you decide to use FadeLightning it will automatically destroy the lightning and clean the leaks, you only need to set which lightning you want faded and the duration over which it is faded.
look like the system that paladon made (i think it's deletet).
i also have a idea store an trigger in the sys and if the chan hits a unit set variabes to the caster, the hitted unit, damage/heal and run the trigger. so everybody can easyly change the effect of the chainlightning (for example: aoe damage and poision;simgle target and dot;....)

- Added a sleep implementation example spell after kingz asked me what if he wanted to do that.
- Fix several bugs.
Known Issues:
Chain Effect: Graphical issue, if unit is moving, the chain won't be correctly place on the unit. This doesn't affect damage dealt or any other things. Just a graphic issue. I will fix this once i get to use Lightning SFX better.
I know what you mean Kingz. While i am working on what you meant to make users life easier and more flexible for advance users i updated this for basic users.
To show the flexibility of the basic chain system i made. All those you mentioned are possible in the current system and i have updated the map with example implementations. Playing around with slow and stun give many effects.
EDIT: The only thing this system can't do is chain dash. Because of movement, though this is going well in my Missile System.
good triggering, mui and leakless, maybe timer should be 0.4 in gui but every user can easily change that
im no mod but this is like 4 / 5 ^^ (cause paladon did already one)
v2.00
Revamped Chain Effect System.
- Chains now move with moving units.
- Remove ChainEffect Ability limitation. You can set your lightning effect now.
- No more dummy limitations. But please do copy the dummy over to your map if you are using this.
Hope you all like it [:
After looking for an hour, i still can't figure out what is wrong with the lightning height. Even though i set the QJCS_ChainZ[1] and QJCS_ChainZ[2] to 500, the chain height created is still at 0. What did i do wrong?
I will be happy with this system only when it starts supporting the trigger variables not so much booleans.
Anyway the thing your lightning is bugging:
Z1 = start Z
Z2 = end Z
So for example z1 = 0, z2 = 300 will make the start of the lightning be on the ground while the end will be in the air, 500 height.
Having z1 = z2 will make the lightning both be in air at 500 height.
Also i have no idea what your problem actually is, please clarify better.
EDIT:
I don't like advertising but take a look at the one of the systems in that map i attached earlier.
It is called CreateLightningEx and maybe it can help you solve the issue.
- Chain height will change accordingly to unit height.
- Added flying units to let you try out the chain [:
- Chain won't jump to any unit that has locust. (Good for dummies)
- Added a new Chain Globals Trigger.
Updated to 2.00e. Thanks D4RK_G4ND4LF for pointing this out. Sorry it took so long for an update. Have been busy with university stuff.
Height of Chain Effect is now correct and perfected:
Custom script: set udg_QJCS_ChainZ[1] = GetLocationZ(udg_QJCS_tempPos[4]) + GetUnitFlyHeight(udg_QJCS_LightningDPos[udg_QJCS_LightningIndex[2]]) + 25
Custom script: set udg_QJCS_ChainZ[2] = GetLocationZ(udg_QJCS_tempPos[5]) + GetUnitFlyHeight(udg_QJCS_TargetUnit[udg_QJCS_index[3]]) + 25
Custom script: set udg_QJCS_ChainZ[3] = GetLocationZ(udg_QJCS_LightningPos[1]) + GetUnitFlyHeight(udg_QJCS_LightningDPos[udg_QJCS_LightningIndex[3]]) + 25
Custom script: set udg_QJCS_ChainZ[4] = GetLocationZ(udg_QJCS_LightningPos[2]) + GetUnitFlyHeight(udg_QJCS_LightningTarget[udg_QJCS_LightningIndex[3]]) + 25
Regarding options. Well i design this system to support many chain types. But you have a point there. I might try to combine some stuff to reduce the implementation code but retaining all the features.
Hey Jeff, wanted to ask you in private or just for asking (... ) Could you make this thingie (the chain thingie) jump multiple times on same unit (like 2 footmen are running you let a chain of them and jumps 8 times (4 on each)?
If you could, post it here or send me in private (i think posting would be nice because i don't think i'm the only one who would love it jumping multiple times)

Absolutely, the option is already in. But they will take turns on the chain though (to put it another way: It will not hit 1 unit 4 times before jumping to another). Just set One Per Unit to False. That is the option limiting it to only jump on each unit once.
uhmm... i put this in my map, which i edit with the JNGP package, and i can't open the map anymore. (testing in WE, opening in local, opening in single player)
is that because your system uses triggers from later patches?
(as JNGP uses 1.23 or something)
or am i seriously messing up o.o?
