Casting an ability than removing it

[Arhowk]

• Unit - Create 1 Peasant for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
• Selection - Clear selection for Player 1 (Red)
• Selection - Select (Last created unit) for Player 1 (Red)
• Unit - Add 0 to (Last created unit)
• Game - Force Player 1 (Red) to press the key Q
• Unit - Remove 0 from (Last created unit)

I thought this would work but it doesn't. It only works if I let the ability stay on the peasant, which I don't want to do.

As far as motives go (using selection and force ui presses instead of issueing a cast), don't worry about it I'm just experimenting

Tried adding a TriggerSleepAction(0.1) before the RemoveAbility action?

cant sleep it as im going to issue alot of ability casts at once

Try to create a new trigger with event unit starts effect of ability, your ability as condition (and maybe check for peasant if needed), and then remove ability from triggering unit.

Hm, but have you tried it anyways? Would be interesting to know if that helped..

I agree with Muzzel. I'm pretty sure most of those functions are not instant. Both selecting and force UI key should be delayed heavily (in multiplayer).

Other than that, have you check animation times for the peasant model? Cast point must be 0.

I know this issue, because I made a system for a 5th random ability each third cast.
It depends strongly on the ability you are using. For instance the ability Roar only goes off if you add a small timeout before removing it, removing active avatar will crash the whole game ..
I added a timer with 0.03 timeout, which works very well.

Almost all abilities have casting time (to account for the animation art).
Only a handful some that can cast instantly.

They are:
Windwalk
Berserk
Avatar (of course, it's not wise to remove this upon casting)

There could be few more but I haven't tested myself (like Mana Shield, Immolation etc).
For both Windwalk and Berserk, you can add those abilities to a unit, order cast, and remove immediately.
As for other abilities, you'll have to make sure the unit cast point value is zero as mentioned.

The above are all for unit order casts.

As for force UI key, they won't really work with immediate removal.
Not too sure why, perhaps it's because of the delayed response (similar to key pressed events).

You can remove much more abilities upon spell effect event than those 3.
