Lightning Field V 1.0

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
What does it do
After Targeting a point, a lightning aura will be created then will be separated into 7 other lightning auras: on in the air, one on the target point and 5 around the target point. Lightning will be created linking all the auras.
The auras will spin around the target damaging enemy units and paralyzing them, they will spin faster and faster till they explode in a massive lightning strike heavily damaging and paralyzing enemy units


Special Notes
SPELL IS NOT MUI
Screenshot is not one of the spell, again, screenshots are not working for me

Waits are bad for spells before they're -very- inconsistent, an alternative is here http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...279/mui-spells-using-artificial-waits-223315/ to get that delay you want with it always being consistent

Needs an ingame screenshot for a spell
Your loop trigger should run every 0.03 seconds as well, 0.01 is just too fast
I also get the feeling that this isn't MUI

thx for the link
if you read the description: my screenshots don't save for a reason i don't know and i specified that the spell is not MUI

one thing, can somone explain me clearly what mui means cuz i think i have a bad idea about what it is
|

v
you wanna know ?
Do you really wanna know ?
Are you prepare ?

Okay, put 2 faceless void in that map and order them to cast any same ability at the same time (like if you order unit a cast time warp, order unit b to cast time warp too), the last cast would bug out.
What kind of bug ?
You will find out.

Mui stands for multi-unit instanceability, it's a property for a trigger that is able to support certain spells/systems for more than 1 unit casting it at a time.
Now your spell will bug if there's more than 1 unit cast this spell at a time.

And yes, all your spells are not mui.
 
sorry man but this spell is way better than the pack you made [ no offense ]


I'll try to improve the spell to make it MUI

lol i again got insulted, my sistem even if it is bad is much more usefull and better then this, i wont say a word anymore untill u learn what is mui

EDIT: When time comes u will see how bad things you were making

oh sorry i was too busy when you gave me the link and i forgot then


One thing, can somone explain me clearly what MUI means cuz i think i have a bad idea about what it is

MUI = multiple unit instance if i am right, and its mean more unit can cast the spell without problem (same time), if something not mui then if 2 unit on map cast it in same time then 2nd caster screw up/make bad the spell what dont work well after 2nd cast

so overall, the uploaded spell must be mui, so its must work well if more unit cast it same time

about leak that also must fix else its cause laggy game what also bad thing :/

Well, the custom script should be before the wait action, else if you leave it as it is now, the dummy will move to the center of the map, (temp_location is removed after the first dummy goes to the location.)

Triggering unit will only be overwritten if you cast the spell another time. So if you cast it again on another unit, the triggering unit and the variable will change.

i made two units that have this spell, they caste it at the same time
it worked perfectly until it reashed the second trigger

wich means don't focus about the first trigger focus on the second :angry:

This is absolutly good BUT you should REALLY remove all of those waits, the wait action is terribly known for its bugs for not being very accurate and by that cause skips and order failure of actions / triggers. Instead, you should aim for using Hashtables that handle the caster, holding all the lightning effects and the dummies as a saved data inside the Hash, and really avoid using any wait at all. As the spell is right now, I belive it can handle only one single caster and is using a known for its bugged action. Fix those and you get +1. The spell looks awesome visually and it does't look like its creating needless points without removing them.
I give it 4/5 and recommand it for use of maps who don't need more than a single caster for this ability.
