When you pick axe in dota you will be notified when you can kill someone with your ultimate (Culling Blade)
It pings minimap on their current locations and changes their color to red.

Updated to 1.1

Hm... I am new to LUA and im not understanding how this plugin is supposed to work and where it goes

[logic2]

I love the idea of lua and start to script a bit. How could I update this script so it does not "spam" the ping, but does it only 1 time? So I want to store/Save it for each hero until he is dead or above X HP again ...

[ehsan...p]

how can i create lua scripts for auto cast multi skill

@Sosha @tricky @anyone that have skill in lua warcraft

[ehsan...p]

Sleep(1000) is a command to make the script "pause" at the respective position for 1000 milliseconds (= 1 second).
