Excellent guide
-small typo in "I didn't inculde items with no ..."

Wow, great job. I learned alot from that. Thanks.

At the start of the game, a trigger is created to be called whenever a unit is attacked (this is the same trigger that provides Javelin's bonus damage and allows/prevents denying).

So if you have a Basher in your inventory and nuke somebody the Bash will still be given to you?
I'm just thinking about possible Splash coding, and how could it be done.

No, you have to start an attack in order to activate the EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ATTACKED. Nuking someone is not enough.

That doesn't belong here, since it's a hardcoded matter.

"forst arrows"

Isn't it should be
WingedSerpentMissile.mdl
Dazzle's Attack Projectile?

And it also caused high end game scores because of excessive amount of "Units Created" maybe you want to mention. Probably you know it already.

Confirmed. 48 'h00B' units with 'Abilities\Weapons\WingedSerpentMissile\WingedSerp entMissile.mdl' model.

It's irrelevant.

Is there any chance the teleport scrolls willbe updated to include extra cooldown from mutliple teleports to the same spot?

I noticed some strange behavior of multiple magic sticks. When you have 2 of them, 1 gets a charge for a spell, determined by slot order. If this one is full, the other one does not get charges until you move it to a higher priority slot; then the 2nd stick begins to charge.
When you use the stick with highest priority (-> stick in highest priority slot), you use up all of its charges. When you use a lower priority stick, you use 1 charge of that stick and all charges of the highest priority stick (even if highest priority stick is empty, meaning you can only use single charges of lower priority sticks)
Tested in 6.66b

That should be because the inventory slots are searched one by one (by a loop, obviously), from highest to lowest priority. The loop is, however, exited when a Magic Stick or a Magic Wand is found in the inventory. (the condition for exiting the loop is loc_integer01>5 and loc_integer01 is set to 5 if a Magic Stick / Wand is found and is set to loc_integer01+1 afterwards)

When you use the stick with highest priority (-> stick in highest priority slot), you use up all of its charges. When you use a lower priority stick, you use 1 charge of that stick and all charges of the highest priority stick (even if highest priority stick is empty, meaning you can only use single charges of lower priority sticks)

For this, I cannot tell you the exact reason. The only thing I can tell you is that only the Magic Stick / Wand in the highest priority slot will heal you, because it would be registered first and the healing would be only performed if loc_boolean01==false. That boolean is initially set to 'false', but will be set to 'true' before the healing is performed.
Yes, this means that even if the Stick/Wand at the lower priority slot loses a charge, it won't heal you at all, only the one at the highest priority slot and its amount of charges will.
I might've messed up something badly, so feel free to point out any mistakes.

[Küken]

Well it sounds logical and matches with my own assumptions. When a lower priority wand is used, it loses a charge due to warcraft hardcoded charged item propertys; they lose one charge whenever you use them. Healing mechanics just like you said.

Just wanted to point out this behavior, because going from the description in the first post, I thought multiple magic sticks will be charged for one spell and all charges in your inventory will be used if you use one stick.

[SNOW37]

I was wondering for the basher code, when is the boolean occured set to false. I know it has to happen otherwise a unit would bash every 2 seconds but no where in the trigger description is this important part outlined.

Also is there any way for me to see the code directly?

[Leq]

The "occured" variable is a local boolean which is defined as false. It just changes when the bash triggers, otherwise it's false ever

[SNOW37]

ok thanks, was wondering about that.

Blah, that was merely a description of how the missile looked like, not the name of the model. It was indeed WingedSerpentMissile.mdl, but I didn't think it was necessary to mention such info about the old coding. But I'm glad I could provide a nitpicking ground for you.

I haven't been to this thread for a while, now I'm in the process of updating it.

[SNOW37]

yay updating!

[A179] ( Used on Barathrum ) is also in the list of checked magic immunities, for the Ghost Scepter part.
