You move unit instantly thus it interrupts the order-cast a spell and therefore spell 'won't be used'.

EDIT your trigger can be much simpler.

    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

    • Set damage = (80.00 + ((Real(10 x (Level of Blade Charge for (Triggering unit)))) + (Real((Agility of BladeCharge_Caster (Include bonuses))))))
    • Unit - Cause BladeCharge_Caster to damage BladeCharge_Target, dealing damage damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of BladeCharge_Caster using Abilities\Spells\Orc\MirrorImage\MirrorImageCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Thx for the formula, but how do I solve the problem?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Use the SetUnitX and SetUnitY natives.

native SetUnitX takes unit whichUnit,real newX returns nothing
native SetUnitY takes unit whichUnit,real newY returns nothing

example of use (for above code)...

call SetUnitX(udg_BladeCharge_Caster,GetLocationX(udg_BladeCharge_TargetLoc))
call SetUnitY(udg_BladeCharge_Caster,GetLocationY(udg_BladeCharge_TargetLoc))

These natives change a unit's position on a play field without interupting its orders. Replacing the conventional GUI move with the 2 example lines above should hopefully fix the problem.

Have you make sure that the spell has a cooldown and what "kind" of spell is it? Is it a channeling spell or it is a instant cast? Give us more detailed information next time.

 

[Battlehound]

Well the spell is based off of channel, with no Follow Through time, unit target and no casting time either. Sorry for not telling in the first place, I was kind of in a hurry writing the first post.

And by thx Dr Super Good, I used your script and the ability works perfectly. rep already added.
