Kamehameha Spell Effects Problem

[Assassins-Creed]

I made a kamehameha spell and for some reason the main two dummy units gets ahead of the rest of the group, but then the rest of the dummy units catch up to the main dummy units later in the spell.

Screens

Ahead of the rest.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens and how to fix it?

i believe it is something wrong with ur indexing. u should learn how to do arrayed indexing. i have a chapter in my tutorial things a GUIer should know. the chapter is called how to index.

 

[Assassins-Creed]

It's not my indexing considering it works fully MUI. Unless you can tell me what's wrong with it specifically then I'm not changing ways.

You should explain or link him then.

 

[jonhysone]

It's in his signature

 

[Tal'Rarity]

Hmm.... It looks easier to do, but what is the difference? Wouldn't dynamic be better? What is the difference between dynamic and arrayed? Considering by name they're both one of the same.

 

[deathismyfriend]

this is less efficient because it uses more variables. also the names of ur variables are misleading. currentIndex should be the current index not the maxIndex.

they are not the same thus the name difference.
the difference is in the way that u index and de-index.
dynamic indexing keeps the indexes in order. arrayed indexing does not. that is the main difference. but with a lot of the spells a person makes the order doesnt matter. when it does u simply use a counter when using arrayed indexing.

arrayed indexing is a lot easier to read and write. and less likely to make mistakes because of that reason.

You should explain or link him then.

i said were it was and how to get to it. plz read everything b4 posting

Less efficient because it uses more variables...? Remake this spell with your method of indexing then I would believe you.

Hmm.... What do you mean by that the current index is the max? I see it as the current while the max increases to how high the current goes too.

Well both use arrays while yours is quite similar just looks a bit better. Even though most people use dynamic indexing your way is better? I have seen no proof how it is better in any way. In order would be better then random selection wouldn't it?

The link thing was because I have signatures turned off because they just annoy me and clump up the pages. However you still never explained the differences so yes read before posting. All you typed was that it is "easier". No proof of anything until you remake this spell so I can see which would be better.

EDIT: By the way you messed up in your tutorial.

A unit begins casting an ability should be replaced with a unit starts the effect of an ability.

im not remaking someone elses spell.
pay attention to the variable names the maxIndex is supposed to be the highest index that is used. he uses the current index.
its not my way. they both have there pros and cons. in the case that order doesnt matter then arrayed indexing is better. in the case that order is needed then u can go either way.

lol thats ur problem if u have it turned off not mine. i said the link was in my sig. i dont have to have proof. im a good GUIer JASSer and vJasser. so yes ik what im tlking about. if u need proof then look for it on other posts. it is the TO's choice to change his spell not urs or mine. i was giving him an easier alternative since i believe the problem is in the indexing.

that doesnt bother me. it was just an example of how to index

 

[Assassins-Creed]

Fixed, turns out it was the model I was using for the dummy unit.

how was the model causing the problem ?

 

[Tal'Rarity]

I helped him find a new model =)

It was a graphic issue where triggers might of been the problem, but it was object editor lol.

Screw indexing. >_> I use footmen for my triggering.

call Footman(MakeSpellForMe)

This is the custom script I use.
