1.1 - The Heretic Wizard
What it does -
The Heretic Wizard is a unit that teleports to move. Since actual teleportation is not possible, he fakes it by vanishing from sight, and then moving a distance, and then reappearing. This has some limitations, such as the unit still being selectable through teleportation, and the fact it can't teleport over obstacles like rivers. However, it still requires quite a unique effect.
How it works -
Forcing the unit to use the correct animation when re-appearing was a bit of a pain because of how starcraft handles to-idle on walking. When the unit went to attack, it would either become locked in a specific state and never attack, or become permanently invisible until moved again. To correct this, I initially forced most of the code through nobreak sequences, but in some instances starcraft will still actually break these, especially if they have to do with movement (never nobreak a full walking sequence). nobreak on these walk sequences caused a lot of bugs so I screwed them altogether and came up with a more simpler method, taking advantage of the walk-to-idle and sprinkled rmgraphicend commands everywhere.
It seems simple but it's easy to go wrong with.

1.2 - The Madness Titan
What it does -
The Madness Titan is a tier6 unit with 4 different attacks. This script is not complete, however; he needs to use attack type 2 for his air attack.
This unit randomizes between 4 types of attacks; his standard attack, a berserk which "increases his attack speed" (but actually fakes it), and two variants of the pit lord fire nova. One waves back and forth, the other will come from behind and focus on the front and molest units in front of the unit.
How it works -
This is a simple randomized sequence taken to the next level of functionality with custom sequencing and pretty explosions. However, if the target dies while the unit is channeling the fire novas, it will discontinue firing the weapon but continue animating until the sequence is over. This is a limitation of starcraft. Sometimes if the unit re-acquires a target it will resume firing but not reset the sequence. This is most noticeable with the Lord of Terror.

1.3 - The Touch of Anguish
What it does -
This is a unit that casts a projectile that will create a perpetual explosion for roughly half a minute, dealing damage to any enemy who steps in it. But what's most important about this unit is that its grp is not centered correctly. Because of how the source images are arranged, the attack animations for this unit will move off-center from the other frames. These are off center from a relative viewpoint, so to compensate for this, I needed to use the arc jump command used by the Sunken Colony to determine the tentacle's position. The result is the lack of a shadow because I am too lazy to fix it, and a correct attack animation that doesn't move around.
How it works -
With DoA's help, he provided this diagram and explanation of how the arc command works.
I used this command to syncronize the unit. So, if you have a unit that is off-center at some points, you can fix it without dicking with the grp. It just takes some patience and lots of testing.
Ok. trgtarccondjmp works like this
trgtarccondjmp %arccenter %arclen %label
the arc center is the angle that corresponds to the middle of the arc, and the arc length is the angle both positive and negative to check. As an example, I've illustrated the sunken colony's arcs -
trgtarccondjmp 74 42 SunkenColonyLocal01
trgtarccondjmp 159 42 SunkenColonyLocal02
The 74 is the center of the blue arc, and the endpoints are both 42 away from it. Same goes for the 159.
Remember, angles go from 0x00 to 0xff, or 0-255, not to 360.
