Now there is only 1 trigger, 1 dummy and 1 dummy ability. Also now jumps a bit faster but the trigger is huge :wink:

I think there is a way of avoiding Invulnerable units. Just add in the matching the condition:

Integer - Level of Invulnerable (Neutral) for matching unit equal to 0

If the matching unit is Invulnerable it will have Invulnerable (Neutral) ability and it will be on level 1. But if a unit was made invulnerable with trigger .... I don't know :wink:

Idea
3/5
Not a exeptionally interresting idea but still good.

Usefullnes
4/5
Many people like costum chain spells.

Eye candy
2/5
It takes too long time between each bounce. The reason for this
is the dummy's attribute: "Art - Animation - Cast Point". This attribute
need to have a lower vaule. It will make the dummy cast the spell faster.
A second thing is a really hard to make but needed for a true chain spell. The missile
should bounce to its' closest target, not just to any one close enough. Maybe many people
don't care about this but a true chain spell has works this way.

Triggers
1/5
This is a very bad way to make chain effects. One spell, one dummy and one trigger for each bounce
is not good at all. You can't have different number of bounces for different levels and people must make
a new dummy, trigger and spell for every extra bounce they want to have. Actually I haven't seen any worse
way that this. This needs to be fixed.

Rating
(3+5+2+1)/4=2.75

Summary
This spell needs to be remade. Since it is not JASS enchanted I won't rate any memory leaks but you should know that
there are many of them in the spell.

Misc
Before you upload your spell, make sure that your spell is unique or at least better made that all other similar spells. I can tell that Leopard's "Chain Venom" is far more usefull. Don't really know that to say about Vexorian's template.
