Cancle Abilitys

[Homicide13]

If you go into wc3 and set a casting time for an ability, a unit that casts it cannon move or do anything untill the casting time is up. I woud like a trigger or Jass code that allows someone to cancle casting, and i know there is a way to do this. Anyways, anyone who knows how to help me, thanks in advance

this is simple. just modify firebolt/stormhammer or any other spell that can stun target and set duration for that spell to 0.01. Erase all other fields. Unit that casts abilitie will stop doing it right away, since it cant do anything while stunned. It's stunned when abilitie is being cast (Firebolt/stormhammer), for 0.01 secs.

You can simply give the stop order.

heh i didnt uderstand... i thought there sould be some kind of spellcaster that can stop channeling abilitie...

What i want is, if a unit casts an ability with a casting time, and than tells the unit to move somewhere, it stops casting the ability and instead moves the unit.

Doesn't it work that way already? Give an example please.

make a map, and give a footmen cripple. Set the cast time on cripple to 5. Make a creep, ande then test your map. Tell the footmen to cast cripple on the creap. For the 5 seconds that its casting, it cant move, it cant shoot, it cant do anything, even if you tell it to.

Oh...I though you were talking about abilities such as starfall.
Well I don't really see a way to do this. Perhaps the best solution would be to make a separate spell based of channel and after casting it run a wait. After 5 seconds or so, if the unit's current order is still "channel", create a dummy caster and cast cripple (or whatever you want) on your target.

the best way to do is as Sfilip said:

When you issue unit to cast abilitie. it wil take 5 secs before abilitie is casted.
If you get to 2 secs and change your mind, just click stop and abilitie will not be cast and will have no effect. mana wont be used.

hmm, maybe i can do something like, player issues unit order, stop casting ability. Anyways, ill look into this later, a bug with a larger priority just popped up.
