[Solved] AI Channeling Rain of Fire stops before all waves drop

[CroMoX]

Hey everyone, I'm using the standard rain of fire spell, and getting my custom unit to cast the skill, however after 3 waves the unit stops channelling and doesn't do anything else (unless stunned). The skill is meant to last for 6 waves total. Does anyone have any clue why this is occurring or experience something like this?

Also here is the trigger I use to order the unit to cast and the information on the spell

Thanks in advance for any advice

Does it still happen if you stay in the fire? I can't remember if the computer is smart enough to cancel AOEs if no targets are in them

Also can you how of the spell is setup in the object editor?

Still stops after 3rd wave while I'm in the wave of fire. I have updated the main post with the Object Editor for both the spell and the unit that uses the spell

I believe it's an AI thing, if you change the Player settings around maybe you can get it working. Might need the slot to be None instead of Computer.

Problem with Dummy casting Blizzard

Hello, so i have this unit with a Channel based ability and when he is attacked he is ordered to use it, and when its triggered it creates 5 dummys, each with a blizzard based ability and is ordered to cast this blizzard at a random location the blizzard is set to have 8 waves with 1 second...

Alternatively, trigger the effects yourself. I feel like I've created this before... probably have a thread somewhere where I made someone a GUI version.

Thanks uncle, that thread is really useful and I'll try some stuff from that, otherwise I'll make custom trigger it.

AI - Ignore Guard of Last Created Unit?

Doesn't work, the units in my game are Heroes for scaling purposes (and that command mentions doesn't work for Heroes), so I will have to make a custom rain of fire. Thank you though

You could just make it cast by a dummy unit owned by a different player without any AI that might fuck with the cast. Leave the original unit casting some nothingburger fake channel ability and then dummy cast the real rain in the correct location.
