Cooldown: 0

Level 2: 2 * (Distance between the caster and the final area) / 25

Fixes:

v2: The dummy variables index was fixed causing it to go anywhere when casted multiple times at the same instance so, I indexed the variable in to a flexible one making it MUI.

v3: I recoded everything, Its been a while since I reviewed Hanky's dynamic indexing. I also added the suggestion of Maker that instead of creating a lightning effect, I use the dummy unit and added the dummy spell that will create the lightning effect. (and I hope its MUI this time).

IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.

Maker, Lightning Roll v3, 12:28, 10th Nov 2011

Leak:
  • Set LR_DistanceArray[LR_Integer] = (Distance between (Position of LR_HeroArray[LR_Integer]) and LR_Point2)
Store the level at the time of casting->
  • Unit - Set mana of LR_HeroArray[LR_Integer] to ((Mana of LR_HeroArray[LR_Integer]) - (17.00 - (Real((Level of Lightning Roll for LR_HeroArray[LR_Integer])))))
Get rid of LR_Point3 variable, it is not needed. Use point1 or point2 instead.
The damage unit action leaks a location.
Don't use an array for the unit group.
Use Add unit to selection instead of Select unit.
The skip removing actions can be removed.
You're missing learn hotkey.
Add importing instructions into the map.
The spell is not easy to configure at all. You could add a configuration trigger.
You could consider some pathing check, since one can get stuck easily. Try casting the ability in an area thick with trees.
You could apply max cast range or require visibility over the targeted area, since now if mana cost is low, one can travel anywhere on the map.

Maker, Lightning Roll v2, 16:50, 7th Nov 2011

The spell is not MUI.
There are location leaks and a unit group leak.

Leaks:
  • Unit - Create 1 Lightning Roll Dummy (Invisible) for (Owner of LR_Hero[LR_Index]) at (Position of LR_Hero[LR_Index]) facing LR_Angle[LR_Index] degrees
  • Lightning - Create a Forked Lightning lightning effect from source (Position of LR_Dummy_Invisible[LR_Index]) to target LR_Point[0]
You're not removing the unit group correctly, then idex in the custom script is wrong. Don't use a unit group array.
The spell is not MUI. Place two casters and cast the ability almost at the same time.

Use Hanky's dynamic indexing or Bribe's unit indexer.
