Magtheridon96: This system can take advantage of timers instead of units.
Units are too interactive and relatively heavy on CPU and RAM when compared to a timer.

The unit dies event will execute a ton of times causing the triggers to evaluate a lot :/

I have one idea that will be incredibly fast and user-friendly.
You would use the variable event and each spell would have one number corresponding to it

You would use one timer that runs every 0.03125 seconds and iterates over a list of instances decreasing their duration by 0.03125, and when an instance's duration is 0 or less, set your system's variable to 0, then to the spell's special integer and load data based on the instances' index from a hashtable of some sort.

But seriously now, there needs to be a reason for this to be easier than using a very simple stack :/ (dynamic indexing)

Remember, if you don't understand on how to use it, you can post it either here or leave me a Private Message or Visitor Message.

Will fulfill a test of your system friend.

While pretty neat, the system /is/ completely unneeded and more complex than the simple alternative, which (As I've said in many many places) creating an atificial wait using two variables. Really if somebody felt a need to be using this, they probably won't be making too great a spell anyway, and probably wouldn't be too good at wrapping their heads around using this one to help them do it either.

DefSkull, I did a test on their functions, but not yet have an opinion.

This system aims for those who have a basic in triggering or to people that never trigger before (Modeler, Map-maker, Terrainer), they can use this system to ease their work by lessen their burden.
I have seen map-maker that knows how to terrain and make maps, but sadly he don't know how to create spells at all, or bugged spell, well this spell is for people like them.
Well, I could say that, One man's trash is another man's treasure

Perhaps this system does not give you what you want, or you simply can't understand the workings of the system.

Yes, I know this system is a bit complicated, but once you get used to it, you can do many things such as spawn units, create dummy unit, create SFX and all of these will become MUI.

Well, I get the feeling that this is actually /harder/ to use than the other method even in the case of somebody who doesn't really know what they're doing

 

[defskull]

Well I did mentioned;

Everyone's first step is hard though.

 

[Magtheridon96]

You really don't need the dummy unit ._.

A simple timer would do.

 

[defskull]

I never used a timer before, does it have to do with indexing ?
I used dummy unit as to cope with Hashtable, if I save the data to either Caster or Target, the data would get overwritten, if I save data to each dummy per cast, the data won't get overwritten, that's why.

I know indexing allows data-stacking but I'm using Hashtable, don't know if Timer + Hashtable could have work though.

HASHTABLE 4 LAIF ;p
