IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.
Required changes:
Get rid of BJ functions in Burrow Strike
TriggerSleepAction is not very accurate
Epicenter is not MUI
Stolen or not, you should post the code and improve these, else they will be rejected.
JASS:
function Trig_Burrowstrike_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A008'
endfunction
function Trig_Burrowstrike_Actions takes nothing returns nothing

First of all, you should get rid of all the BJs.
The BJs are those funtions highlighted in red.
ALL BJs are bad except for TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ, ModuloInteger, ModuloReal, IAbsBJ, RAbsBJ,
IMinBJ, IMaxBJ, RMinBJ, RMaxBJ and IntegerTertiary. Instead of GetLastCreatedUnit() and CreateNUnitsAtLoc(),
you should use a local unit variable and set it to CreateUnit(....) then use that unit variable instead of using
GetLastCreatedUnit().
You have leaks in there too. PolarProjectionBJ(l, -100.00, AngleBetweenPoints(l, m)) Leaks.
Instead of SetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped, just use SetUnitAbilityLevel. It's more
efficient and it's name is shorter -> thus it's faster.
DistanceBetweenPoints -> SquareRoot((x2 - x1) * (x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1) * (y2 - y1))
And you should cache the distance to increase efficiency since you're calling the function multiple times.
Instead of locations, you should be using coordinates. No one uses locations in Jass .. unless you want to
find the Z of a certain point on the map via GetLocationZ
And you shouldn't be setting the animation of the unit to something like that, it might not have it.
All models are expected to have the "walk", "stand" and "attack" animations at least. Use those.
You could make it configurable using functions like this though:
JASS:
function BurrowStrike_Animation takes nothing returns string
return "stand"
endfunction
Instead of SetUnitPositionLoc, use SetUnitX and SetUnitY.
And you shouldn't be using waits, use timers instead. (Don't use TriggerSleepAction)
And all this was directed only at your BurrowStrike spell.
There are a lot of things that could and should be improved.
These spells aren't MUI. MUI means Multi-Unit-Instanceable.
To make a spell MUI, you can either use Hashtables, or arrays.
If you want to use arrays, you can either go with Dynamic Indexing or you can use a simple stack structure.
I'd go with Dynamic Indexing if I were you. It has O(1) complexity. (Meaning it's faster)
