The Lightning Mage

I wasnt really sure where to post this... so..
This is a hero I made for one of my maps, which i am particularly proud of.
I would like to know if you knew any ways to improve it, or any suggestions for the hero.

Lightning Blast
Creates a huge ball of thunder at a target point. This thunder slowly moves toward the caster, dealing damage to all units it hits on the way. Once it hits the caster, or after 9 seconds, it will end.

Thunder Form
The Lightning Mage transforms into a ball of lightning. He flies quickly to a target area, then transforms back into his normal form, damaging nearby units.

Charged Thunder
When the Lightning Mage is attacked, there is a chance that the charge of lightning in him is so great that it sends a bolt of lightning to strike the attacking unit. This bolt will deal 50 damage to the attacking unit, and then bounce 2 more times, dealing half as much damage as it did on the last bounce.

Ultimate - Wrath of the Skies
The Lightning Mage flies into the sky, calling upon the skies to help him. He forms a layer of clouds below him, preventing enemies from attacking him. Every second, a lightning bolt emanates from his body, dealing damage to everything it hits, and bouncing 3 times. Last 20 seconds.

Edit: Added screenshots for everything but Charged Thunder (Too hard to get a good screenshot) Heh.. the Wrath of the Skies screenshot doesnt look as good as the ingame does.

hes pretty cool. =]
i like the ability where the lightning follows him.
thats awesome =]

throw yourself into a crowd..then throw the lightning and it will follow you while the crowd is chasing you and it hits all of em..fun hero

If you're that proud of it, submit it as a resource!

I'm working up a spell for a spell contest at TheHelper.net, but later on I can go through the code an see what's up with it, if you'd like.

Just give me a bit....


EDIT: Get some pictures uploaded here.

Cant submit it as a resource, its not MUI. Ill upload screenshots right now.

Damn. Is this JASS or GUI?

its still gui ..is it ?

Its GUI. Take a look at the triggers, its not too hard to tell xD

I didn't open it up to look ><

As far as I know, Single-player-instance MUI is allowed here; my Nether mage was only SPI MUI when I first submitted it. By Single-Player-Instanceable, I mean that each player could have one instance of each of these spells, and it's very easy to set up.

For instance, if you have to use the variable "LightningMageShockUnit" in a trigger, instead make it into an array variable, and use "LightningMageShockUnit[Player Number of (Owner of (Triggering Unit))]", etc.


Making this fully MUI would give you a good excuse to learn JASS, by-the-way.

akolyt0r, this is a demo map. The dummies have 1 food on purpose, so I can see if there are any leaks and dummies who stay.

For screenies make a replay playing each of the spells then play the replay at the slowest speed and screenshot it when you like it. I gonna go through the code if you don't mind?

Dil, if you want i can rewrite all Spells in JASS making them MUI, it's just the question normal JASS or vJASS with structs?

Thanks for the ss tip, Av3n. I've been just casting spells and hoping i get a good shot. And sure, feel free to check over my triggers. I would like it.
Fireyee, if you made the spells MUI, maybe we could submit it as a resource together.

Anyways, Im working on making it Single-Player-MUI right now.
