Your spell must be MUI.

To answer your Map Initialization question...
Rep is earned by our hardwork
It's people who decide whether to rep you or not
If he/she thinks that you are good in any way (positive way), maybe you get repped, maybe you don't

Btw, nice spell
But it's not original as it copies from Waveform of Morphling =D
3/5 good for starter =D

Thanks,i want ask 1 more things too,how the people can let describe open and close and trigger?

The spell does not support multiple uses (aka it's not MUI or MPI).
Also, every 0.01 second is too fast: use every 0.03 or 0.04 second instead.

I believe this spell basically does the same thing by the way (and I've seen other variations of this spell, including one I created myself).

Another thing: I believe you do have leaks.
At the end, you do Set ManaFormLoc[1] = ManaFormLoc[3] ==> The original ManaFormLoc[1] will leak as you never removed the point (as long as a variable is not changed, it will not leak - but you changed the variable, thus creating a leak).
And you created a group in the loop but never removed that group either (aside from the end), creating another leak.

Edit: further info on the leaks.

So in the init trigger you set ManaFormLoc[1] to something, let's say Location(0., 0.) (coordinates).
The loop will set ManaFormLoc[3] to (let's say) Location(0., 1.).
Then at the end, you set ManaFormLoc[1] to Location(0., 1.), while the original location Location(0., 0.) was never removed and warcraft will keep remembering it.
The same goes for the unit group which is never removed in the loop while the variable does change.

how the people can let describe open and close and trigger?

What? O_O
I honestly didn't understand a word of this.

 

[defskull]

Agreed.
0.01 is WAY to fast
0.03 is the IDEAL time for that particular Event

I means the open and close is this :

and i use wrong the trigger after the MF trigger turn off?

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ManaFormLoc[1])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ManaFormLoc[2])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ManaFormLoc[3])
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_ManaFormGroup)

It cannot fix the leaks like that?If i use this 4 Custom Script at the MF Charge,it will auto go to middle.

 

[defskull]

Auto Middle is when the function returns a NULL function
Meaning the existing location had been removed/cleaned OR it doesn't even exist
It will ALWAYS return to normal location (Center of playable map area)

I think for every time you update the caster's position, then, for every time you're gonna need to clean the leak
0.03 per leak-cleaning

For the Hidden Tag (IT IS CALLED HIDDEN TAG)
Just use this command:
[ HIDDEN="Title" ]YOUR TRIGGER[ /HIDDEN ]
Don't space out the [], like I did
I did that for only example
Look at this:

You just got pwned.

They're correct, but the problem lies in the other trigger (by the way: what you posted are actions, triggers are the whole of events, conditions and actions).

I edited my previous post to make it more clear (hopefully).

No MUI.

 

[defskull]

Be gentle LOL
It's his FIRST TIME
Give some constructive criticism, not a 5-word comments~

I think it should be 5 letters not 5 words...

anyway, you have leaks, non-mui and there are a lot of waveform-like spells here...

?
Still don't understand 0.0,can say clearly?0.0
or use trigger

Location(X, Y) actually comes from the JASS function, but I'll try to explain it a bit better ^^

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc[3] = (TempLoc[1] offset by 1.00 towards 0.00 degrees)
    • -------- Actions go here --------
    • Set TempLoc[1] = TempLoc[3]

This is your trigger in a simple way.

These are the settings before this trigger runs:
TempLoc[1] is set to a certain point.
TempLoc[3] isn't set up yet.

The first time this trigger runs, TempLoc[3] will be set to a value.
Right after this, you change TempLoc[1]:

• Set TempLoc[1] = TempLoc[3]

The previous value, however, was never removed. (It does not get automatically removed if you change the value of a variable).
Now the original value of TempLoc[1] is lost, forever (you can never recall the same pointer again, thus creating a leak).

And this continues.
As you change TempLoc[3] to TempLoc[1] + blabla, the original TempLoc[3] is also lost! You never use that point again, yet you never removed it either ( = leak).


Really, I can't explain it better.
If you still didn't get it, then learn why variables leak.
Most people just know which variables leak (unit groups, locations, special effects etc) and how to fix them, but if you don't know what's causing those leaks you're just shooting in the dark and bound to miss some day (just like you did with this trigger).

 

[jialiang98]

loL== Hi,new here.And i have some problems to edit skills.i am blur editing skills...Can any1 help me?

 

[jialiang98]

Blur...

Anyone can help me? i dunno how to edit skills...And trigger...truly say,i noe nothing about world editor.Who can teach me ?

 

[defskull]

Who can teach you is the one who is the most nearest to you (probably your friends...)
If your friends doesn't even interested in Warcraft III or even Warcraft III World Editor, then you're gonna start ready yourself for a SELF-LEARNING lesson
You download a map, and start checking the trigger, the work, the art, the doodads, the models, the Object Editor values, the ALL !
Once you get used to it, you'll be fun making something out of it =D
Second suggestion is that you do some browsing over on YouTube
Some user there posted a lesson how to do some basic spells in warcraft
