Then why won't you just remain at indexing?....
Ooooor why don't you just combinate hashtables and indexing?

Use both hashtables and indexing even though I'm having trouble trying to use hash? NO

Why don't you show all the triggers as you said that it only is the "hashtable part"?
Yet I hate hashtables in GUI and you leak a bit in your triggers and there are a few more improvement points there!
I might even come up with a wip this weekend (I will probably regret that I wrote this).

How does it not work?
There's no picked unit in the last trigger. Remember to flush child hashtable when you don't need data stored for a unit anymore. You need to make the damage source MUI.

Don't destroy the unit group. Flush the child hashtable after you destroy the saved effect. You should save the caster's handle for the picked unit.
You have slightly messed up the stuff you save/load.

It isn't quite that simple. The unit, up until the point where it casts the spell, is constantly having its orders canceled (its targeting orders). This yields the unit's "current order" in most cases to be 0. I am still trying to play around with the concept.

Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Triggering unit) as 0 of (Load 1 of SL_ID from SL_CasterHashtable) in (Last created hashtable)
Yet your spell will not be 100% MUI if you use the id of the caster, what happens if he casts twice? It will be overwritten? Same with the picked units.
Also why are you using two hashtables?

Hashtables are meant to be overwritten data, isn't it ?
While indexing, has this feature (doesn't overwrite previous data)
But I believe hashtable can perform the non-overwrite data method, right ?

Well I was trying to find 2 effects for both mana and hp loss. So the fire has the color of blood and the moonlight one has the color of mana. It kinda fits :/ since the guy is burning, so he's losing health.

maybe we are allowed to modify the lightning data slk by hex editing the w3x file
the "no imports" rule reduces the quality of the spell and I therefore think it's stupid
and I don't play other games (actually I even don't play wc3 anymore) and stealing spells from other games is stupid
reminds me of the spell section with <random dota spell>, <random dota spell>, <random dota spell>, ...

Not sure why you would Hex-edit an SLK file but go ahead...
This is a Triggers & Scripts contest, not a Resources contest. I don't know where you find the lack of rationality there.
I don't really play games either, but I came up with a pretty random idea based on a Call of Duty game ability. That's where the creativity comes into play. There are a lot of cool abilities you could take from Diablo II.

I don't get it. You waited for this contest but since it has a theme and you're not allowed to artificially spice it with imports you're not going to take part in it. That's not a very good attitude!

both
and I edited before you posted just in case you think was because of that
you can't deal damage with models and most people don't know how to move units with them so they still have to know how to trigger
also if it improves the quality of the spell why forbid it?
of course the people who know stuff about modeling have an advantage but people who are better at triggering have an advantage as well so it's even
creativity?
it's not that it HAS a theme but that it has THIS theme
actually I wouldn't even call it a theme
it's more like a rule which steals the most important (imho) part of spellmaking which is to think of a spell

If steroids improves the quality of athletes then why forbid it. It unbalances the playing field. Not everybody is going to use nice imported models so those who do are going to have an obvious advantage. In addition custom models play a different role in every spell, so the advantages between people using imported models is going to vary. Why add all these margins of error when you don't need to...

because it has negative side effects to take drugs
but mechanical enhancements which would have no side effects wouldn't be fair either because they require money to be developed
modeling requires tools, too but there also are free alternatives (of course the ones that cost money are better but for effects war3modeleditor is enough most of the time and is free)
everyone has the same advantages because everyone can choose their spells themselves
to get better spells
why should I take part if I don't like the "theme" and am not allowed to use my full potential?
and your google quotes about creativity explain why this "theme" has none imho
the only "creative" part which is left is the coding but this is plain boring
most of the time is creating some indexing stuff and managing variables
there are not many spells in games which require thinking of cool mechanisms to solve a problem

imports are not allowed because making the spell look good using the default models is a part of spell making... and for me it actually shows the maker's creativity more... because making something look good without using AWESOME models is far more creative than making it look good just because you used something that is already good looking...

because there is a difference between inducing your talents and putting a barrier... and because the impact of no imports is considerably less than the impact of forcing everyone to use GUI... and allowing imports will increase the map file size...

pretty much everything done in JASS could be done in GUI
but you can't have every effect with the standard models
vJASS increases mapsize, too

Fierce Armor
Ok, I did this spell just to remember old times. This one is based in Torchlight Destroyer ability "Shadow Armor" which summons an armor spirit and adds some chance to evade an attack. I changed the name and the block chances percentages just to make it more "compatible" with the style art in WC3 (and for testing purposes ofc).
This spell requires Timedloop by Vexorian, Timed Effects by me and UnitDamage by me.

private constant integer abilid = 'A000' //this is the rawcode for the Ability

private constant real scale = 2. // sets the armor scale on armor unit
private constant integer transp = 40 // sets a value between 0 and 255 which makes the transparency of the armor unit
private constant string attach = "origin" //sets where the block effect will appear on unit

Ok, I did this spell just to remember old times. This one is based in Torchlight Destroyer ability "Shadow Armor" which summons an armor spirit and adds some chance to evade an attack. I changed the name and the block chances percentages just to make it more "compatible" with the style art in WC3 (and for testing purposes ofc).
This spell requires Timedloop by Vexorian, Timed Effects by me and UnitDamage by me.

Moyack its nice to see you. I suppose. Your submission looks pretty good. I like the effect of the faded Firelord. I was hoping that you were going to detail the "evasion" a little more but you don't really notice in normal circumstances whether lethal damage ~can~ be evaded. If you kill the unit with 600 damage or something though the unit will still die, because a dead unit cannot be revived simply by adding hit points. Unfortunately.
In fact, the evasion does not work at all. Instead of
In cases where the damage amount exceeds the unit's life capacity, you'll need to fiddle with the BonusMod library by EarthFury I believe. If the damage is still within the unit's life amount then you simply need to adjust the unit's life before hand. The problem when you fiddle around in these areas is that you realize 0-second timers aren't so instant.
In fact, the evasion does not work at all. Instead of
EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED you use EVENT_UNIT_ATTACKED. That's funny. You must've typed this up in a hurry. If you change it the evasion seems to work properly, but lethal damage still isn't prevented.In cases where the damage amount exceeds the unit's life capacity, you'll need to fiddle with the BonusMod library by EarthFury I believe.

Woah I love Moyack's spell OoOo
mckill's spell is also cool, but does the map also get dark when you cast it? Or did you consider not darkening the screen?

To prevent death when the attack is fatal just add the ability 'Invu' to the unit in the event and then run a 0 second timer and remove the ability when the timer expires. Problem solved

this might cancel attack orders
is it better to add a big health bonus instead and removing it after timer expired of course
but sometimes the attacks happen faster than a 0-timer can expire one should also remove the bonus on next attack and reset everything

Ok, here we go
| The caster creates an icy orb, which slowly moves in the direction it is cast. The orb will constantly emit ice shards which travel away from the orb. A unit hit with an ice shard is slowed for 3 seconds. The orb lasts 3 seconds. This is a diablo 2 spell, it is used by the sorceress character View attachment 102309 The original spell from Diablo 2 View attachment 102310 My version of the spell

Aw what happened to the spacing before the functions? :/
Anyway, nice idea, but the main orb is a bit too big.

Yeah you said that when I (accidently) uploaded the spell to the spells section (while trying to upload it here), and I agree with you. But I am getting better at making spells
@Marsal, I don't know why it didn't indent the spells.

@moyack
There are a few major improvements that can be done but either way it looks awesome!
@mckill
No need to credit me, it's so simple so anyone can create it
A few things that might get your score even higher:
-In the MS_FILTERCLOCK you leak a timer if it doesnt meet up the conditions. You should instead call NTimer() after the condition check and also put the null inside it as well (at last before endif).
-In the MS_METEORDEATH function you can store the x and y coordinate of u, set them after the if
-In the MS_CAST you should null the timer after the nested if (the if that checks chance)
Just a rough check though but might be helpful!

-In the MS_FILTERCLOCK you leak a timer if it doesnt meet up the conditions. You should instead call NTimer() after the condition check and also put the null inside it as well (at last before endif).
-In the MS_METEORDEATH function you can store the x and y coordinate of u, set them after the if
-In the MS_CAST you should null the timer after the nested if (the if that checks chance)
Just a rough check though but might be helpful!

in case I don't get around to re-taking a look at this, here is my current WIP
1000 Needles
The trademark ability native to the Cactuar, which sprays a steady stream of deadly needles towards the target, dealing exactly 1,000 HP damage, regardless of armor.
For comparison:
It's not FF7, but I could not find a good video, so this will have to do, and is pretty close anywho.
The script for all those interested:
