This is dummycaster system that uses one caster for most abilities, this does not include channeling abilities or abilities with a casting time greater then 0.00. It uses the instant cast method(i have no idea who came up with it) along with a structure(this is what enables it to cast point and target spells instantly, because structures don't turn.)

- Whats the use of the Dummy_From_Loc?, also why dont you just make an example of a location cast since the system casted on a location, not coordinates...
- You should put in the description that the point/cast backswing should be 0, cooldown/cast is 0...
- Remove the dummy's ability >>> 'Amov'
- I think t's best do do a channeling for this, see my http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/submissions-414/snippet-muidummycasters-211663/index2.html on how it's done...

Click to expand...
why? I use a structure, does removing amov do the same thing that using a structure does? ie eliminate the units ability to turn.

- Whats the use of the Dummy_From_Loc?
Click to expand...
they can use it instead of from_x/y

also why don't you just make an example of a location cast since the system casted on a location, not coordinates.
Click to expand...
I probably should, btw my example used xy coordinates not a location.

- I think t's best do do a channeling for this, see my [Snippet] MuiDummyCasters on how it's done...
Click to expand...
I have looked at that, but this does everything except channeling spells with one unit, though I might make it use one for each player(for scoring). The main purpose of this casting system is for buffing units, if you think I should support channeling spells I will.

Serously, Idk that the hwtw is a structure until I opened the map, but yeah it does the same thing...

GUI'ers will not be familiar with that, I suggest to use locations alone...

if you think I should support channeling spells I will
Click to expand...
Moderators told me that if it can be modular then do it, but anyway it's just my suggestion, there's nothing wrong not to follow it :)...
