This is my first spell uploaded - Spinning blade. I it's MUI and leakless (i think). But still - if there is a problem with my triggers, or if there are leaks - tell me. I hope you like my spell! :)

Spell description : Throws a spinning blade in any direction, traveling 600/900/1200 units. The blade deals 50/100/150 damage to every enemy it cuts.

Spinning Blade 1.0v - the spell's creation.
Spinning Blade 2.0v - some leaks cleared, indexing system changed, test map changed, some spell documentation added.
Spinning Blade 3.0v - some leaks got pwned.
Spinning Blade 4.0v - SBBladePos removed from the Cast Trigger because it does nothing. 'Skip remaining actions' removed from the Loop Trigger because it does nothing. Condition '((Picked Unit) is alive) Equal to True' added to the damaging part of the Loop Trigger

The "Skip remaining actions" is not required in the "loop" trigger ;)

Otherwise it looks alright, Approved 3/5.

  • Leaks the offset point
    • Unit - Create 1 Spinning Blade for (Owner of SBCaster[ID]) at (SBCasterPos[ID] offset by 70.00...
  • Not a good idea to add events, once the unit dies the event is useless
    • Trigger - Add to Damage <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 50.00 of SBBlade[ID])
  • Move trigger should be initially off and turned off when it is not needed
  • The indexing is not good
  • Add version number
  • Add importing instructions into the map file
  • You can't tell the value of ID here
    • ((Triggering unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of SBCaster[ID])) Equal to True
    • Unit - Cause SBBlade[ID] to damage (Triggering unit), dealing ((Real(SBLevel[ID])) x 50.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

WTF is test map ?
Change it please, it can create lags on some comps.

Also, 0.03 seconds is more efficient than 0.02 in the loop trigger.

You Indexing suxx, you're doing many useless loops after some time, and this can slow the game. Try to avoid it.

You never turn on/off your looping trigger and it slows the game.

You're spell isn't MUI cauz' of the Damage Trigger.

You're leaking locations.

@Vladadamm - I know my Indexing sux, but i was looking for a indexing system without a Unit Indexer trigger (because i can't learn how to use it :D). When i can turn the loop trigger off? What is wrong with my Damage Trigger? I mean that every unit gets damaged and i don't get whats wrong with it's MUIness. And finally - tell me where my triggers leak, please! :)

Thanks for responding! :)
