[JASS] Banish spell

[Perfectwingzero]

I'm using the banish spell in my ammo system and when the unit cast it they turn green. Is there a way to stop them changing color?

 

[busterkomo]

Try resetting their vertex colouring after the ability is casted upon them with

SetUnitVertexColor

 

[CommanderZ]

Why the hell are you using banish? Use Channel instead, it has no side effects

 

[Perfectwingzero]

Ok thanks. With channel can the unit still move around?

 

[Sephiroth74]

try and find out

 

[Perfectwingzero]

I would but I'm at work so if anyone like to let me know before hand I'd appreciate it.

 

[Sephiroth74]

If you go to buffs and effects on the object editor, and go to banish buff, and remove it's art-target, it will only make your person turn transparent.

 

[Perfectwingzero]

Yes I realize that as it's what I'm using now. I was trying to find out about banish. It's what the other guy mentioned.

 

[Sephiroth74]

Channel would not let you move, it's like using tranquility, which is a channel.

I would recomend using purge.

 

[wd40bomber7]

Ok Sephiroth74... I hate to contradict you but...

Channel is actually the perfect dummy ability. You can make it channel, you can make it targatable, you can make that ability do anything. It can channel and act like tranquility (but without the effect) but by default its not like that. By default it acts like bereserk. (No-target) However you can change it to require a unit/destructable target. (Or change it to target the ground!)

Channel is a hero ability. (To help you find it)

Channel is actually not that great, it can be really confusing to a newbie, and is utterly useless without the help of triggers. As a dummy spell, maybe, but yeah. It's not the best thing since sliced bread.

And channel will let you move. Just remove the follow through time and make it instant cast.

 

[busterkomo]

Agreed. Channel can be in some cases very inferior to regular abilities. You can't really adjust the targets.

 

[darkwulfv]

I mean, for example:

You need a single target spell. A lot of people would scream "LOLZ CHANNEL". I say "Acid Bomb". Acid Bomb is a wonderful spell for single-targets, especially since it can use missile arts, something Channel cannot.

Channel is good for things like point and AoE targets, etc., and occasionally for unit targets, but lack of a missile art really hinders its potential use.

lack of a missile art really hinders its potential use.

O rly?
You missed these:

(Yes, they can be found in Channel)

 

[darkwulfv]

I don't think they work though... Maybe I'm wrong, I may be thinking of something else.

 

[3ICE]

Sorry

I tried them out and they didn't work
Sorry.

Its three useless fields for Channel then
Because the fields are there but do nothing.

Maybe with a specific option they work though. I only tested it in unit target mode.
If anybody reads this thread and is utterly bored... Give it a try!

 

[Perfectwingzero]

Wow thought this thread died. So you guys say a modified channel can do it? I had messed with it and it was good except for the unit couldn't move which would suck but I didnt try setting the instant cast. I will go back and try that.

 

[darkwulfv]

Make sure follow through time is .001... or 0.00. I don't know which one works right.

 

[AlphaChkn]

Pretty sure that you set channel's follow through to the spell duration time.

Yea...Found this on the helper:

Follow Through Time: Follow Through Time can determine whether or not the ability is channeling or not. If we want it to be channeling, set the Follow Through Time to he Duration of the spell and remember to set Disable Other Abilities to false.

So im guessing if you dont want it to be channeling you set it to the spell's duration of zero?
