This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Two Spells
Mend:
Mend with the targeted allied unit or tree transfering HP. If the target is a unit, this Hero will give its HP for a certain duration and moves with the targeted unit. Mending with a tree heals this Hero.
Time Phase:
Distort space-time continuum allowing you to save your current location, hitpoints and mana at the time this spell was casted. After a short delay or when 'Return Time' is activated, you will go back in time at the moment this spell was casted restoring location but can only recover portion of the hitpoints and mana lost.
CONFIGURABLES:
- The amount of HP transfer per level (target it unit)
- The amount of HP heal per level (target is tree)
- Mend duration
- Time Phase Delay
- Percentage of HP recovered
- Percentage of Mana recovered
- Image transparency
REQUIREMENTS:
- JNGP

Mend:
You should check, if the caster is still alive every period or is this included in unit end cast?
GetWidgetLife(widget) < 0.405 is not a valid way to detect whether a unit is dead or not.
Use either native UnitAlive(unit) or (GetUnitTypeId(unit) != 0 and not GetUnitState(unit, UNIT_STATE_DEAD))
Could use SpellEffectEvent as optional requirement.
'Aeth' should be stored into a constant variable, so should be Player(PLAYER_NEUTAL_PASSIVE)
You check for walkability and cancel is it is false, but allow mounting to a flying unit?
When you return the mend heal, you can use a formula instead: 0 + 10*level
function names should be written MyFunction.

I did not know there already is one. But I think they are different because the one you link used Hashtable and mine has a 'Return Time' ability (but I'm not sure if your link has) which immediately shifts you back in time.
Included in the end cast
Why is GetWidgetLife(widget) < 0.405 not valid?
Yeah I might add a special effect
'Aeth' is Ghost (Visible) which is a default ability in Warcraft not a custom one. Why store them?
Why store Player(PLAYER_NEUTAL_PASSIVE) ??
So you can heal flying units.
But what if the heal for each level are random, e.g. level 1: 7, level 2: 8, level 3: 15. Plus this is much easier to edit.
Why?

Asking questions never hurt 
So let me explain.
Sorted the list in the order you asked
So let me explain.Sorted the list in the order you asked
- Dead units can have more than .405 life.
Also native UnitAlive performs best.native UnitAlive takes unit id returns boolean
. - SpellEffectEvent is a snippet, which optimizes an on spell effect event trigger evaluation and not a special effect.
It is in our jass section, written by Bribe and very recommended to use.
. - For clean code don't use magic number, but store your constants into variables.
. Player(x)is a function call, while stored it's a constant. Talking about speed optimization here.
.- You miss the point, as flying units can move over non walkable terrain.
. - And if I want 4 or just 2 levels? Users will change that if required.
. - We have an official standart for naming functions, constants, non- constants, methods, ... it is called JPAG
Consider this like a internal grammar, so code is uniform and readable for everyone.
It sticks to the style Blizzard has chosen for the WE.
There is a link in my signature.

Ok i will update it.BPower said:
I see what you meant. I will use Bribe's SpellEffectEventBPower said:
Will do.BPower said:
Yeah you are right, i will also change it.BPower said:
It was in the request that Mend will stop when moving to an non-walkable terrain. Plus any user can just uncheck the Targets Allowed of Mend.BPower said:
The thing about having it in formula is that the system will have to perform arithmetic operation which I think is slower than using If-Then-Else. Furthermore, what if the heal is not linear (you have to use Transcendental, Power, Exponential which is even slower) or cannot be represented by an equation. So I think the best way is to just use arrays, e.g.BPower said:
JASS:
globals
private real array mendHeal
set mendHeal[1] = 10.0
set mendHeal[2] = 15.0
set mendHeal[3] = 20.0
endglobalsOk I will also change the names to fit the standard.BPower said:

Don't use an array for the setup, stay with the function.
Support a simple formula, which fits best to the spell in your opinion.
Users can still change it afterwards, if they want.

I have always wondered why people use functions for the ability's level configuration instead of array. Can you explain why BPower? Isn't the array the faster?

At this point, speed is not an important factor. When you do ( please don't )
you have to consider, that the JassHelper does inline functions matching
certain criterias. You can check them in the link in my signature.
arrays have to initialized with an onInit trigger, functions don't.
Also you can't guess what the user finally needs for his spell.
He will manipulate your code in a way it fits to his map.
I just give you a small example. In the map I'm working on at the moment,
damage is completly custom so I would erase your damage config completly
if using your spell. My Damage detection implementation will correct the amount of
damage, once any damage is dealt.
Just go with a function.

How?
@Bpower, still not clear to me but fine, i will not use an array.I will stick to function which returns the number at each level.
Thanks, for helping. I will update it soon.

Y are u still using function. Imagine, you have an ability with 50 lvl what will you do with function which returns the number at each level? An array is fine, everyone who use your skill can config it easier.

Come up with a formula for those configurables to replace if-then. That way, the function would be easier to configure than arrays, though the amount per level would be fixed.

Before everyone gets more confused.
For a public release a function overs the exact amount of configurability we want in this case.
New map concepts will always be different and so is the final setup from the one who writes the code.

Ok. You are a Resource Mod so I have to follow you.
You do have a point there, final setup is different depending on the concept. I will update this and follow all those you said that needs to be changed.

I guess it's not a good idea to copy a hero type unit. I just saw this in the picture of the submission
Here other ingame problems can occure ( xp related, display, revial, .... everything connected with heroes).
It's not so often used, but there is an agent named "image". Maybe you want to experiment with this. ( Just an idea )

Ok I will take a look.
However, the copied hero is owned by neutral passive so I don't see how that will produce a problem witb the players.

There is no obvious connection between the two spells.
In future just create two seperate threads instead of merging them into one.
For resources with a common context you can of course use one thread.
I gave a detailed review for your spell. If you would like to discuss about what I mentioned
feel free to post it here in the comments

Agree. Will be done in the next update.
I will also make the image flying if the hero is flying.
I will also make the ability permnanent.
I will use UnitAlive like I ded in Mend.
I will change this as well.
This isn't the same? I thought they are the same.
No, but when the target is amphibious, yes it is required. I created a thread about it. Basically, even though the caster has ghost, it cannot phase through the target.
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/problem-amphibious-units-265782/
I will put a tooltip. I thought that wasn't much required since the downloaded can just edit it to his standard.
Do I really need to use one of these or is it only optional?

Nope, I checked it using Multiplayer Emulation. It doesn't disconnect.
Besides, I also used this in my own map and players doesn't report experiencing Disconnection. Like I said earlier, the unit is Locust and has no pathing that's why I think it doesn't cause desync.

Setting alpha to 0 has the same outcome and is a much more safe solution!

I thought you will make me store that too since you stated earlierBPower said:
Still, I removed it and now directly uses 'Aloc'.

Hey about Time Phase, I uploaded a spell with the SAME concept, but didn't know how to make it MUI, so it got rejected. Difference is I wanted to make it to support more than one unit

Great spell! Just what I needed. Would it be possible to make so that when you go back in time, the person will return in his exact state? Like without avatar if hes in avatar mode or remove any buffs he did not had at that time of casting?

Without a Buff system, that would be impossible because default Buffs in WC3 have limited API (e.g. you can't set/get the duration of a Buff).
But if you don't wanna preserve Buff duration during the time of activation, I guess you can edit the spell script directly to check for hardcoded status like Avatar but it is not that simple.
