How do I stop the special - channel trigger?

[SnowYell]

Hi,
I have a unit, which I have set to do the action:

• Unit - Order Fire Titan 0037 <gen> to Special - Channel

Now I want it to stop at a certain point, but whatever I do, move instantly, make it issue order with no target (stop, attack, hold position) or whatever. Nothing won't seem to stop it from channeling. What is going on? xD..

I'd appreciate it if you could help me. thx

If it is a channeling spell this should work:

• Unit - Order SomeUnit to Stop

Otherwise:
A solution is to apply mini-stun for 0.01 sec with a dummy unit.
This will not work if the unit can become spell-immune at any point of the game.

Another solution is to apply the stun with a dummy unit with bash as bash ignores spell-imunity.

Remove the ability from it?

Remove the ability from it?

Does not work.

 

[nedio95]

Does not work.

Are you telling me that a unit which no longer has the ability continues to channel it ???

I tried a dummy unit with bash, to attack the channeling unit. Even made a trigger to remove the ability afterwards, but he just keeps casting, stunned or not. Haha.

I might just have to replace it I guess.

Unless anyone have any other suggestions?
It would save me from a lot of work with variables and item drops + new ability triggers.

Are you sure that you are doing it on the correct unit ?

Show some triggers, please...

Now I want it to cancel the channeling after defeating the Fire Aspects.

The Stun unit that is created was the dummy with bash ability.

Use unit - remove ability to remove the ability.

Maybe the bash ability is not of 100% chance? And even if you disable an ability from a player, if the unit is still casting it, the unit will remain casting it. But first of all I think you should learn first what are leaks and how to handle them... I mean... Even if you succeed on canceling that channel spell or even if you succeed on finishing that map, Warcraft 3 is most likely to crash if you play it (or if not, will incur severe lag). There are many tutorials here that teaches about those leaks and proper GUI basics, maybe you should focus on that first?

 

[nedio95]

1st Try this. It should work... it MUST work... ...

Use unit - remove ability to remove the ability.

2nd

• Unit - Move Fire Titan 0037 <gen> instantly to (Center of Fire Titan Teleport <gen>)

Moving a unit to position instantly interrupts order too, the fire titan should have stopped channeling with this too...

3rd
Try sticking

• Trigger - Turn off (This trigger )

at the end of the first trigger.

Idk how exactly

• Unit - Fire Titan 0037 <gen>'s life becomes Less than 4700.00

Works but I suspect it fires an event every time the titan life changes value to something lower that the amount.

I set it for a 100% he kept getting stunned.
Thanks for the advice, but the maps I create don't have ALOT of triggering. This one is currently based on researches, so it doesn't take a lot. But the advice would be good still though, I just don't think I got the patience to look up tutorials - also because I feel I'm a little late for that now, since the Warcraft 3 era seems to fall.
It's only me and when I force my friends to play, my maps will be used. ^^

The event is because I'm a little lazy. The Titan has a lot of HP, and a small amount of AoE, so just not for the fight to become too boring, I intended to throw a little event when he reached around 40% remaining health. He has no sort of regeneration or healing, so I am insured he will not throw the event twice.
But I just might turn the trigger off anyway..
I tried the instant moving thing. But I guess it doesn't hurt doing so as well.
And I will abselutely find the Unit - Remove Ability. Just couldn't seem to find it anywhere.. ^^
But about the turn off trigger, I have a question. If I would place it halfway through the trigger, will the rest of the triggering still finish? I mean, like if I placed it just before the Titan turns invulnerable - would he still be invulnerable and etc?

Use unit - remove ability to remove the ability.

Thanks, didn't even notice there was one like that .. -.-"

 

[nedio95]

• Unit - Fire Titan 0037 <gen>'s life becomes Less than 4700.00

You may as well change it to

• Unit - Fire Titan 0037 <gen>'s life becomes Equal to 4700.00

 

[Mirage_tempest]

• Unit - Fire Titan 0037 <gen>'s life becomes Equal to 4700.00

Will the event still fires even if unit's life is equal to 4701 and for example takes damage of 2? I mean unit's life will turn to 4698 and thus not equal to 4700

Hah, true, what am I thinking. Scratch that post.
