[JASS] Avoid getting a unit stopped by an ability

[Barade]

Hey,
since I use many channel based abilities I'd like to know if there is any possibility NOT to stop the casting unit?
For example when I order the unit to go somewhere and cast the channel ability it should continue moving.

Besides I'd like to know if there is a list of abilities and JASS functions which do stop the unit and which do not?
For example, I do add items in my custom inventory system using:

UnitAddItemToSlotById(whichUnit, itemType, slot)

I am not sure if this function stops the unit or the channel based ability but I'd like to have some kind of list and to know how I can avoid such effects since the player should be able to interact with the unit without stopping it all the time.

Hey Barade,

Sadly, the only abilities that do not interrupt the unit's orders are windwalk and berserk (afaik).

Adding an item to a unit does not stop it. I think a unit only loses its order if it is ordered something else by code, or is manually stopped by the the player.

You can just re-order the unit to do the last order when he finished the ability.

Is there any existing reordering system and which event do I have to use? EVENT_UNIT_SPELL_CHANNEL?

There's this library: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=104175

These won't interrupt orders:
Windwalk, ManashieldOn, ManashieldOff, Defend, Undefend, Berserk, Immolation, Devine Shield

Probable that he's not a native speaker and thought that OP was talking about SetUnitPosition causing the unit to stop when moved.
