This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
A spell i made for a real life friend to use in his campaign.
The spell is maybe a bit simple, but at least it isn't a complete omnislash ripoff.
The library contains 2 libraries i made, if there are 2 other that are a standard and i am not aware of notify me.
The 2 libraries i coded are:
FadeUnitTimed
StopAnimationTimed
I hope someone finds this spell usefull, i sure did spend some time to make it match my friends request.
The spell's idea and concept aren't mine since it is a request.
Please notify me of any possible improvements and bugs/leaks that i may have overlooked.
Used libraries:
v1.0 rellease
v1.1 added code in the description, inlined GroupAddGroup() function
v1.2 made the struct private, made the effects disapear timer to take an automatically calculated time from FadeTimeEx value.

EDIT:
Attached the code to the spell description.
I was sceptical whether this is considered an omnislash spell, but BerZerKer convinced me to upload it.

nice spell 
often the blademaster spells looks always the same.
first I thought it would be such a spell.
but it's a nice idea, that the blademaster will slash every enemy in his way, and then
continues.
good job.

Nice spell you made there, not the most original one but quite good. Only a few things about coding:
Some minor flaws i found out but i´m rather sleepy right now so i might have overlooked something.
Suggestions
- Structs should be private
- You might preload the special effects
- You should use
native UnitAlive takes unit id returns booleaninstead ofGetWidgetLife() <= 0.405- (optional)It would be nice if you could link the threads from the libraries you used to the description

In some strange cases
I will link the thread for the libraries with the next update.
EDIT:
If i made the struct private i couldn't call upon the Create method:
And i use that struct/method outside the struct:
native UnitAlive takes unit id returns boolean can bug and The_Reborn_Devil uses GetWidgetLife() so i don't think it is an issue.I will link the thread for the libraries with the next update.

Pros
+Different from other "walk" or "cut" spells here
+Animations are nice
+Lagless SFXs which is realy nice
+I realy like the redirections when you hit a unit
+MUIness FTW.
Cons
-Animations are not realy good, especially when theres no targets in your way
-Well hes cutting them, but I didn't saw any "blood" SFXs
-SFX on movement is not realy nice, I mean its a death effect from an arrow, not realy fitting the "wind" part of the spell
-Collision are a big problem in this kind of spells, I think you need a system to detect when the caster is closer to a unit and turn off/on its collision, because its atm

Ahh ok never mind about the IsUnitAlive thingy. I meant making the struct private and not the creator method. When structs are private you can still access them (and everything inside them). Just move the windcut struct below the 'dont touch this' globalsblock and make it private.

Just a question for the "UnitAlive" discussion.
A method I saw some days ago:
Any problems with this? Slow?

Fixed all things except the UnitAlive method, i heard it can sometimes bug and i don't want to take chances.

Why do you have a Create method like this ? This is practicly the same as create() so I dont see a reason for it. And I suggest you move all the code from your condition function into the Create(which you should rename to just create as theres no need for a new method when you have the other one already there for you) method, it looks better and more organised. Also when working withing the structs methods you don't need to type "this". Using just a dot works with no problems.
Example
This will work. And it saves writing time.
Example
JASS:
static method create takes real x, real y returns thistype
local thistype this = thistype.allocate()
set .x = x
set .y = y
return this
endmethodThis will work. And it saves writing time.

Be more specific, what effect?
The unit model? The blink model attached to the weapon? The blood model when hitting a unit? The windy trail behind the unit?

Well for unit model you need to modify the dummy unit.
For the Slash effect you need to modify the SlashEff variable, for the trail effect you need to modify TrailEff variable for the weapon effect you need to modify WeaponEff variable.
NOTE: When replacing the paths to special effects your new path must have \\ instead of \ .
Example:
Wrong path:

Nice spell i was looking for something to add a trail behind units and i found this which looks very nice and i think i'm going to use your libraries (with proprer credits of course).
I don't know if maybe i'm missing something, but i've noticed that the variable
on line 39 Is never used. I suppose it goes on line 157 in
in place of the 0.80
