Code and spell were fine.

At least you know how to clean leaks. But it's not MUI, nor MPI. And it's basically a simple delayed thunder clap.... is this really worth the spell section?

What do you want from it?

 

[Cocobo]

delayed thunder clap? what are you mean ?

 

[Lambdadelta]

Erm. Isn't it just firing a moving missile (delay), then damaging + Slowing them? Which is essentially what Thudner clap does.

Bad Things :
- Not MUI
- No Changeable DATA

Good Things :
- Nice Effect
- Not [Wait]

Well the spell is pretty nice, but you need to fix toose point.

How to fix?

You have to check some tutorial, !THERE!

Btw, keep it up!

 

[Cocobo]

@xBlackRose
oh i see

@gaby-boy
eeee what i must fix??? there is too many choise

 

[gaby-boy]

First make it MUI, if you need help go check tutorial.

 

[Cocobo]

i don't understand to make it into MUI and i don't found the tutorial~

 

[gaby-boy]

There it is :

[Multi-Intance-Ability] or [Multi-Unit-Instance] - The Same

This help me a lot for making spell and other stuff.

EX : Check My Spell --> Missile Barrage V.1.30

 

[Cocobo]

can you make me a spell MUI more.... easy? when i check your spell MB << it's make me confuse .

 

[Klingo]

[Cocobo]

Leaks? what leaks

 

[Klingo]

Leaks? what leaks

My bad... -.-

 

[Cocobo]

no problem but can you teach me what is MUI ???

 

[Kingz]

MUI stands for Multiple Unit Instancable spell.

Meaning the spell won't bug no matter how many spells cast a spell at the same time.

Read those tutorials.

 

[Cocobo]

I try it with 2 unit casting together and one of it is stuck.... now i get it but what i must to do now ???

 

[Kingz]

First of all:

Double posting is against the rules, you will get an infraction for it, merge your posts and please use the EDIT button.

Merge - delete your 2nd post and edit the 1st post.

Read the tutorials Klingo linked dude.

 

[Cocobo]

I am sorry for double posting
----------------------------
I read your tutorial and i more understand than before this is great

 

[G00dG4m3]

You can try learining from my spells (Links below)
They use a lot of Hashtables and are pretty well documented. Just don't learn from Eternal Winter, I created it learning Hashtabling

 

[gaby-boy]

hashtables are badd, there su**!

EDIT

Well I See You Learn How To Make A MUI Spell, Nice Job Cocobo!

 

[Kingz]

Good job on making it MUI so fast.

 

[Cocobo]

it's need time 2 days and make me headache -.-"
next may be i will learn GUI ..... and next may be JASS

 

[G00dG4m3]

gaby-boy, why are you so against Hashtables???
It's much much more easier to understand a Code in Hashtables than one in Indexing. And it takes pretty longer to clean the Indexing...

Index are faster than hashtable plus I think indexing is easier to understand.

 

[gaby-boy]

HashTables Are More Slower Than The Index.

 

[G00dG4m3]

HashTables Are More Slower Than The Index.

Bahh, whatever
Who wants, uses Hashtables, everyone else - Indexing

 

[Prince.Zero]

Index are faster than hashtable plus I think indexing is easier to understand.

There are both cons and pros in these
Yeah indexing is faster as the only thing you do is use arrays
Re-indexing however is slower than flushing a hashtable.
Blizzard tech team made it, you can't just outsmart them that easily.
Also DotA uses hashtables, and as far as i'm aware of, it's been working flawlessly for a very long time, even when it was using Gamecache instead of HT which is way more slow.

 

[Kingz]

Arrays are faster than hashtables.
They made hashtables just because of GUI users and to prevent the H2I usage.

Look at structs for example, they are in basic just arrays.

Re-indexing however is slower than flushing a hashtable.

I don't have a clue what are you talking about here.

 

[Prince.Zero]

I don't have a clue what are you talking about here.

De-allocating an array is slower than flushing a hashtable
Something faster than hashtables and better in my opinion is a multi dimensional array.

Array[0][1][2]

Looks nice ^^ awesome eye candy
