Wild Energy V1.10

I made this as my first passive spell out of curiousty and also just to try something new.

Wild Energy:
Tooltip:
Passive spell, Gives a chance of 20 + (20 x level of ability)% to create an orb of energy which will home in on the nearest enemy dealing (0.5 x level of ability) x (max mana - current mana) in an area of 100 + (50 x level of ability) When a spell is casted. Mana cost of spell being casted when this spell is activated is not included.


- Heavily configurable
- Homing projectile
- Single-target spell (although with AOE damage)
- Passive spell

In the second trigger:

  • Set WE_UHandle = (Key (Last created unit))
->
  • Custom script: set udg_WE_UHandle = GetHandleId(udg_WE_TempU)
(Since you already cached the last created unit previously)

Oh and that bj_wantDestroyGroup thing can apply everywhere else too.

edit

  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_WE_TempPoint)
This line should be parallel to this: (meaning that you should put the custom script outside of the For loop.)

  • Set WE_TempPoint = (Position of WE_u)
Otherwise, it could leak.


It looks pretty decent overall.
 
Thanks for the notes, I'll make the appropriate changes momentarily, don't know if I'll bother with the wantdestroygroup thing - I like sticking to the standard format I normally use (even if it's a little less efficient).

Edit: Not sure about the set WE_UHandle change, I'll have to look at it again and get my head around it
Edit2: just got it, give me a second
