Blizzard ability can freeze enemy units?

Koopa124 · Oct 14, 2009

Which buff can I customize so that the Blizzard spell so that it freezes units in place with a block of ice around them, for other units to freely attack them for X seconds until they thaw.

I think entangling roots is the one you want.

There isn't an option on how to reduce movement. D: [For that Buff]

I used Blizzard for the ability.

trigger the spell

RED BARON · Oct 14, 2009

What he means with trigger the spell would be to: Pick every unit effected by the spell (remember to remove the group after) and either:

Trigger the whole thing: pause unit for xx sec based on level of spell (of course with the added sfx effects - remember to remove after)

or

cast frost nova on the picked units...

I could go further into detail if need be.

Ehh what? You would be nice? Why? Do you mean that you will be nice if I help you...

If so then I'll cook something up.

use war stomp and change the buff to freezing breath.
have a dummy unit cast the custom war stomp at the location where blizzard is cast.
this will "freeze" the enemy units in place and you can even make it do initial damage.

I meant "It" not "I" sorry.

Just what I intended... with the frost nova effect added :wink:

Do I still need to show it to you Koopa?

Isn't there a way to do this without a dummy unit? Or no?

That was the second option I mentioned:

Do something like this (Didn't bother for exact names)
Events
- Unit - Begins challenging an ability
Conditions
- Boolan - Ability being cast equal to blabla
Actions
- Unit - Pick all units (affected by last cast ability)
  - Then do
    - Actions
      - Unit - Pause (picked units) for (5 + (int * (level of (ability))) (or make some other condition whatever...)
      - Show effect/sfx on target unit (or to make it more easier just give them a buff with that as target model - this would also spare making a wait = you won't have to make it local.. so actually just ignore the sfx part and use a Buff...(for instance replace the Blizzard buff)))
      - Custom Script - call Destroy_Group (Picked units)

Something like this, hope it will help you - I can post the exact trigger with correct trigger names and free of leaks. But this should be enough, I believe. :wink:

Ok thanks, I'll give it a try. + rep to both of you.

No problem - Do tell if it doesn't work, but this should most definitely get you on the right track. Just play around with it :thumbs_up:
