// - Spell Information:
// - Call a powerful beam of energy from the ground, accumulate and discharge power super strong
// when enemies within 150 range of this power, enemies will shock and lost 30/60/90/120 hit points
// after storm release 30/40/50/60 lightning, it will absorbed all previous energy
// and discharge 30/40/50/60 lightning again also deals 30 damage to enemies
// and then, it accumulates, and exploded, the explosion caused a power flow and deals 15/30/45/60 damage to enemies.

// - Installation:
// - Import/copy the required libraries and Lightning Storm code to your map
// - Import/copy the custom ability and unit to your map and change the SPELL_ID,DUMMY_LIGHTNING if needed

// - You may view the raw ID of the objects by pressing CTRL+D in the object editor
// - You may play with the configurables below
// - When you copy dummy "xe unit (Caster System?)", you must change rawcode ID of this dummy = xeca

The element of lightning is very powerful. If it hits someone, it has a 50% chance to die.
What do we have here in this wonderful spell by nhocklanhox6?
Originality: 4/5. Being a lightning element spell, it's still original. Not 5/5 because there are many spells with the element Lightning and WarCraft 3 lightning handles. Being honest at that point, I've seen a lot of different YouTube videos when this was used. Just going to show some examples below:
Execution: 4/5. I suggest using Lightning Utils instead of Table-based lightnings. Lightning Utils is safer way of operations with lightnings in WarCraft. Do 'Amrf' as a global constant. It's a lot more handy. Also, just for safety purposes:
This code is safer since the unit might have this ability and this prevents from accidentally removing it. Also, why is it better to use
These lines:
60.*.01747 can be calculated by using a calculator, so no need to make the PC's work harder by the laziness. You won't lose readability.
This:
can be optimized if it will be in the loop. I will leave it up to the author of this spell to figure out how.
Now this:
That's all that I can point out here. But these mistakes are quite small, so it is -1 point.
Effects: 5/5. Very impressive, nothing said!
Overall: ((4+4+5)/3) = 4.3/5 = 4/5. This is a very good example on how to make a lightning spell!

Execution: 4/5. I suggest using Lightning Utils instead of Table-based lightnings. Lightning Utils is safer way of operations with lightnings in WarCraft. Do 'Amrf' as a global constant. It's a lot more handy. Also, just for safety purposes:
JASS:
if UnitAddAbility(tab.unit[i],'Amrf') then
call UnitRemoveAbility(tab.unit[i],'Amrf')
endif0.01747 instead of .0174532? I am curious about the explanation by author.SetUnitPosition is a lot more slower than SetUnitX and SetUnitY natives since they do not check the pathing.These lines:
JASS:
set x = xx + reach * Cos(i*60*0.01747)
set y = yy + reach * Sin(i*60*0.01747)This:
JASS:
loop
exitwhen ii == 0
//
set x = xx + 100. * Cos(ii*60*0.01747)
set y = yy + 100. * Sin(ii*60*0.01747)
//
set tab.unit[ii] = CreateUnit(Player(15),DUMMY_LIGHTNING,x,y,0.)
set tab.real[20+ii] = 57.29582 * Atan2(y - yy, x - xx)
set tab.lightning[30+ii] = AddLightning(M_ALT,true,x,y,xx,yy)
call SetUnitScale(tab.unit[ii],0.,0.,0.)
call UnitAddAbility(tab.unit[ii],'Amrf')
call UnitRemoveAbility(tab.unit[ii],'Amrf')
call SetUnitFlyHeight(tab.unit[ii],MIN_HEIGHT,MIN_HEIGHT)
//
set tab.unit[10+ii] = CreateUnit(Player(15),DUMMY_LIGHTNING,x,y,0.)
set tab.lightning[40+ii] = AddLightning(O_ALT,true,x,y,xx,yy)
call SetUnitScale(tab.unit[10+ii],0.,0.,0.)
call UnitAddAbility(tab.unit[10+ii],'Amrf')
call UnitRemoveAbility(tab.unit[10+ii],'Amrf')
call SetUnitFlyHeight(tab.unit[10+ii],MIN_HEIGHT,MIN_HEIGHT)
//
set tab.unit[50+ii] = CreateUnit(Player(15),DUMMY_LIGHTNING,xx,yy,0.)
call SetUnitScale(tab.unit[50+ii],SIZE/2,0.,0.)
call UnitAddAbility(tab.unit[50+ii],'Amrf')
call UnitRemoveAbility(tab.unit[50+ii],'Amrf')
set s = s + an
call SetUnitFlyHeight(tab.unit[50+ii],s,s)
set tab.real[70+ii] = s
set tab.lightning[60+ii] = AddLightning(E_ALT,true,x,y,xx,yy)
//
set ii = ii - 1
endloopNow this:
k == 0 or k == 1 Your k is always positive. The condition in this form: k <= 1 will be better than the current one because 'or' is operator and requires resources aswell.That's all that I can point out here. But these mistakes are quite small, so it is -1 point.
Effects: 5/5. Very impressive, nothing said!
Overall: ((4+4+5)/3) = 4.3/5 = 4/5. This is a very good example on how to make a lightning spell!
4/5: Recommended

Thanks a lot ^^,
...actually..., =.=!, Lightning Utils use duration to expire lightning, i don't know what time this spell expire, so i can't use it >.<....
P/S: Spell Updated.
