[Trigger] What does MUI improtantly Need?

[BUP]

I wanna make my spell MUI.
But the fact is that i don't know what MUI specially include from a basic trigger.

Please help me guys!!

It requires either hashtables or indexing which is useing arrays and loops.

All an MUI spell is is a spell which does not make use of any global resources (triggers turned on/off, global variables etc) for a non-zero amount of game time for a single casted instance to function. If your spell occurs instantly, odds are it's multiinstanceable without any further work. If not, you need to use better methods of data storage, such as an indexed array or a hashtable.

What is a hashtable??

what is an index??
Can you post example triggers??

There are a number of excellent tutorials available in the tutorials forum which should explain some of these concepts.

if you know how to make MUI spells/systems, it will make you like a God in WC3 moding, bwahaha!

MUY requires you doing something with each specific unit in the game, or those involved with an ability.

You can access specific units by a Hashtable (using their Handle Id) or by an Indexing System (You can find here on Spell section); these are the best ways.

Look in Spell section for approved spells and systems, since they're all MUI, and see how they're done.

THAT IS NOT TRUE...

this is MUI without any hashes or loops

• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Actions
  • Unit - Cause A to damage B dealing 100000 damage

yeah, just read the tutorials on the tut section and look at the approved spells to get the idea...

My way of learning how to make triggers MUI;
1. Read tutorials
2. Practice from tutorials
3. Take a look at the Spells Section
4. Download (those spells) it and dissect those triggers part by part until you know how to get it work.

My way of learning how to make triggers MUI was trial and error. I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks guys i will try to understand what is MUI by myself

This tutorial is worth looking at, but keep in mind you are jumping into quite a few concepts and may need to do some work on simpler stuff before you worry about this.

Thanks for that but i already made a simple spell ''Holy Heal" with a hashtable

 

[defskull]

I bet Holy Heal heals your unit X per second that lasts for Y seconds right >.>"
That is an improvement, good luck !

Made a Spell "Haste Slash"
I thinks it's MUI
