[Spell] Anti-Magic Field

[Lord Siler]

Hello all,

I was having a discussion without someone more proficient at worldeditor than me, and I was telling him how I created an anti-magic field; an area with a circular radius in which enemy units were unable to cast spells, I explained how this was done by using statis trap or vision ward ability that had an hero inventory and which received an item that made it channel the cloud ability that was modified to preventing all units from casting spells within a circular radius, I was told that there was a much simpler method to creating the affect, however I don't remember exactly what the person told me as this had been ages ago.

Can someone help me out and explain the alternative simpler method to creating this anti-magic shield?

Just dummy cast the cloud ability directly instead. I see no reason to involve a vision ward + item for this. You could also periodically cast silence on enemies in the radius (and clear buff from those outside it) but that's definitely not easier.

The ward was involved because it allowed the caster to see how far the radius of the spell extends.

A dummy unit stands for a standard unit using no model file and has locust ability.
