Hi everyone !

i wanted to know if there is any way to make a auto castble entangling roots ability to give it to a unit set the same ability to defult active list and the unit will cast the ability by itself.

i dont have the triggering skill to make this

and if anyone can even tell me some ability that will mass slow everyone to the point of they cant move that will be also perfect and will solve my problem, (Earthquick and other aoe spells is not included )

Yes there is.
You make an clone of curse (creep version) this is the spell the real unit has
other options are slow /fairy fire / parasit / ensnare (depends on wanted auto casting mechanic).​
  • set duration to 0.01
  • data to 0
  • buff to entangle
  • give it to your unit.
The create an entangle spell and an dummy unit, the entangle spell is the effect.

Use an trigger with starts effect of this curse spell. When that happens spawn an Dummie unit for its owner and let it cast the entangle.
Bad side the damage source is not the caster-Unit.


  • Auto entangle
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Auto Entangle (Casting)
    • Actions
      • Set Loc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummie for (Triggering player) at Loc facing Default building facing degrees
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc)
      • Unit - Add a 0.30 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Add Auto Entangle (Effect) to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Target unit of ability being cast)
and if anyone can even tell me some ability that will mass slow everyone to the point of they cant move that will be also perfect and will solve my problem, (Earthquick and other aoe spells is not included )
There is this lower movementspeed limit sounds like you need to lower it (on default 150) to allow such strong slows (hardcoded limit is 1).
Check out dummy casting Single Target Spell for Multiple Units

The uploaded map only contains the auto entangle.
