Raises two hurricans which are spinning around each other, moving every enemy unit around with them, the closer the faster. Additional the Twister throws up stones or water fountains from the ground up in the sky which damage enemies on impact.

Spell should be MUI, Leakless.
Update v1.2: Used 2D-arrays to remove some variables, optimized the code for a better performance, removed the charging energy and added a water/land effect.

The_Reborn_Devil:
The triggering looks pretty good and there are no leaks.
It's also MUI and pretty original.

I feel that you have two different tornados and you make actions for each one of them, make small loops instead to reduce the amount of lines, havent really checked all the code but that was what I thought of first, also this will make the spell able to create infitive of tornadoes
Unfortunately i have no clue how to do it, maybe with hashtables but i am not skilled in them. But i think it is no big deal because it would just be a few lines less, and creating more tornados would probably lagg the game to hell ^^
yeah it is possible with hashtables but if you could index the tornadoes in a different index then it would have been possible I think but as said, requires two different indexes at the same time or maybe you can shadow globals in the loop
this spell is great (coding and appearance [personally I don't like the lightning effect at the end but since it is VERY EASY to change it....]) but are you aware of the fact that you are using 50!!!!!! globals?????
well....customizability is win but this seems like an overkill
I really don't want you to remake this spell since it will take a lot of clicks but for the next time:
it's possible to use something like 2d-arrays as long as you have one dimension fixed
e.g. if you want to store 2 things for every instance things would look like this:
set i = 1
set x[i*2] = 1
set x[i*2+1] = 2
set i = 2
set x[i*2] = 3
set x[i*2+1] = 4
set i = 3
set x[i*2] = 5
set x[i*2+1] = 6
...
this way you would have an array looking like this:
1 2
3 4
5 6
...
but there also is a tutorial about it (didn't read it though)
Ah allright thanks that would be exactly what i need. Will take a look at the tutorial and practising a bit with it after i got my exams done in school :/
I see your point , but you can reduce the spell very much, there are three options you can disable: 1. the stones 2. the lightning 3. the destroying of trees
Hmmm is my englisch that bad xDD. I tried to explain that you can disable a lot of functions for the spell, if it seems a little bit overfilled. For example the stones which are spawnend during the spell, or the lightning spiral which appears at the end.
So you can customize the spell for your needs, you only need to change the boolean value.
Oh wow, this spell is Sexy. I really love it man, awesome job. 5/5. In all honesty, I'm currently learning how to make advanced spells (As well as trying to make something MUI and using Hash Tables) So I'm not going to bother trying to give you tips, seeing your THAT MUCH better than me .
