Spell Name: Obscuration (my entry for ZephyrContest#9)
Description:
The hero will be invisible but can't attack and use other spells. In this state, he has a sub ability to teleport an enemy ground unit to the caster's position.
The target is invulnerable and can't move when teleported state and stuns nearby enemy units for 5 seconds. After teleporting, 6 firebolts will hit the target, dealing damage and stun.
|cffffcc00Teleport timer:|r 14 seconds or you can use the Obscuration ability to teleport prematurely and disables the Teleport ability.
Instructions:
- Be sure to check the Automatically create unknown variables while passing trigger data, via File>Preferences>General tab.
- In the object editor, copy all the custom Unit and Abilities to your map.
- Copy all that is written from the Obscuration folder to your map.

Unique (5/5)
Okay, I have to be honest, it's quite unique, which is great, but it's pretty boring. Still, there are some creative effects put in there, so I can't give you a very low score. I only deducted points because of irrelevancy. If it was more relevant, it would get a 9 or a 10.
Coding (17/20)
MUI & Leakless (8/8)
Bugless (4.5/5)
Efficient (4.5/5)
Documentation & Comments (0/2)
Dude, I really wish you could've done this in JASS. GUI hurts my eyes ._.
It's MUI, and there are no leaks. Okay, well done.
As for bugs, there are none that I could produce.
It would be a bit more efficient if you would cache the triggering player into an array variable instead of repeating it inside the loop (you aren't actually repeating it, but you're getting the owner of the portal unit :/
The number of projectiles and the effect should be configurable.
Currently, it's not very readable, and since the "Documentation & Comments" field is only there to take into account readability, I'll have to deduct points there.
You don't need to preload the effect currently because it's in the MPQ file, but if you make it configurable, then leave the preload line there since the effect may or may not be in the MPQ.
There is only one small error. Your enemies would have vision on you when you cast the sub-ability on an enemy unit for a fraction of a second. I don't know how to fix, so I'll only deduct 0.5 here.
Visuals (7/10)
Relevant-to-Theme Effects (1/4)
Quality of Tooltips (3/3)
Quantity of Effects (3/3)
The effects were not really relevant to the theme of assassination (Fire-balls, beacons, etc..). The tooltips are well done. The spell is not too hogged with special effects.
I really don't like this new 'function/endfunction inside GUI triggers' trend o-o
It's only fine when you place a series of comments in between the functions to make it more readable D:
( -------- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -------- is not very neat :/)
well I wanted something in different arrangement Mags, I'm sure I did not break any rules regarding the arrangements ...and I'm exercising my rusty GUI skill, so this will complicate things in my head a bit...
OK, I dont think I need to do this coz the triggering player has only 2 instances and Target has 1 instance..., maybe the last created unit, it has 3 instances...
BTW, this is the first and last time Ima make a spell in this format coz it's really complicated ...
BIG EDIT:
I changed my mind coz I'm gonna transform this in vJass...
