Well I making a spell for The Hive. I almost finish, but there some bug.

When I try to remove some leaks all the spell bug.

In the map I put, all the (mad) leaks disable.

Test the map whit the disable leaks and try the map whit enable leaks.

you will see a probleme (I think)

plz help mee!

im sry but its hard to understand your problem, and even if i completely understood, i still dont know how to make spells so i wouldn't be of much help would i?

Good spell idea.

Use coördinates though, as locations
1) Cause this problem
2) Cause leaks.

So basically, if you use coördinates you both fix this problem and improve the spell.

Moin moin =)

Just put the "Custom scrip: Remove Location ....." ( all four disabled) at the end if your trigger but before this part:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • LD_Index[1] Equal to 0
  • Then - Actions
    • Set LD_Index[2] = 0
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
  • Else - Actions

So it looks like this:

So it will look like this:

• Lightning Destruction Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set LD_Index[1] = 0
    • For each (Integer LD_Index[3]) from 1 to LD_Index[2], do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • LD_Bounce[LD_Index[3]] Greater than 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Set LD_Index[1] = (LD_Index[1] + 1)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • LD_Booleen[LD_Index[3]] Equal to False
              • Then - Actions
                • Set LD_CasterLoc[LD_Index[3]] = (Position of LD_Caster[LD_Index[3]])

Now the spell does the same if you would disable this 4 actions ...

Edit: What the hell is "coördinates" =D

@ Dr.Boom you're not removing all leaks there.
The locations are set up in the loop, so you're only removing the leaks for 1 loop.
Let's say there are 100 instances running, then you still have 396 leaks (99 * 4).

That's exactly what causes it I think: the other locations are based off the first ones.
If you remove the first ones, it will start flashing (the thing you see).



Coordinates are coordinates.
X and Y-values.

Like (0, 0) the center of the map.
Locations are a set of coordinates, but locations are handles and coördinates are reals.

Thus: coordinates are faster, as a location traces it's coordinates when you use it, while a coördinate is already a coordinate so it doesn't have to trace anything AND coordinates don't leak because they're reals and reals don't leak

From wikipedia:

You probably know this.
An X and an Y axis with a few points.

Put this in warcraft: the X- and Y-value of the points are coordinates.
The points themselves are locations.

Edit: downside of coordinates: you'll have to use custom scripts (or just completely JASS) to use them, as converting coords to a location still leaks a location (and you can't just use coords, unless you convert them to a location in GUI).
