I am using Flood's Rain of X GUI system.
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/rain-x-system-version-1-1a-136432/

I advanced it to support "channeling" spells.

I am still new to MUI spells and Indexing, so I'm not sure if this would leak:

                • Else - Actions
            • Else - Actions
I changed it so that I would "stop casting" in two cases:
1. the spell is over, no more waves.
2. the hero/player stops casting (gets interrupted, moves somewhere, ect..)

For #1 I added these lines

  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
  • ROX_Channel_Spell[RoX_Index[3]] Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
  • Set RoX_Off[RoX_Index[3]] = True
  • Unit - Order RoX_Caster[RoX_Index[3]] to Stop
in RoX Loop, after the trigger checked for "no more waves left" and before the array recycling process.
The line
  • Set RoX_Off[RoX_Index[3]] = True
will prevent further trigger runs (skip everything). It is also needed in the trigger "Hero Stops Channeling".
The line
  • Unit - Order RoX_Caster[RoX_Index[3]] to Stop
will simply stop the cast animation.

For #2 I created the "Hero Stops Channeling" trigger.
It checks
a) the "stopping" unit
b) is this a channeling spell?
c) is the spell still running? [RoX_Off = false => the spell is still running]

Important is checking for c), as otherwise this trigger will run, when case #1 occured. That's why I set "RoX_Off = true" BEFORE I order the unit to stop.
So, if the case is: the hero stops while the spell is running, I reduce the array (recycle?) and turn the RoX_Off bool to true. I then check if there is still an instance running; if not: disable the loop. Now the spell is "done".

So, will this work, without leaking, and recycle correct?

  • Set RoX_Index[1] = (RoX_Index[1] - 1)
Click to expand...

Flood uses Index[1] and Index[2] the other way around compared to i.e. Paladon.

So this line should be the equivalent, unless I misunderstood.

  • Set RoX_Index[2] = (RoX_Index[2] - 1)
PS: Thanks to both of you for looking through!
