Casting a channel-based spell?

[solomon409]

How can I order a unit to cast a spell based of channel? I tried to order it to cast the spell the chennel's spell ID is based off, but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

1. Create a trigger that displays current order of any unit when it's issued an order
2. Cast Channel
3. Use that order with the dummy.

The only thing you need to know is to adjust the Data - Base Order ID to any string that has the same Target-type with your ability.

Let's say your Channel is a Target-unit ability, well, you should change the Order ID to Target-unit based string order, such as thunderbolt (Storm Bolt Base Order ID) / chainlightning (Chain Lightning Base Order ID) / etc.

Here's a a few list of String Order ID;

Target-unit
acidbomb
chainlightning
charm
cripple
curse

Target-point
blink
blizzard
carrionswarm
earthquake

Instant-target
avatar
berserk
phaseshift
waterelemental

Make sure after you set the Base Order ID, you must follow the order string for it to work.

Let's say you set the Target-unit spell ID to thunderbolt, you must use this action to make it work;

• Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Target unit of ability being cast)

If let's say you set it to chainlightning, this will work;

• Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Target unit of ability being cast)

You just have to find the right action depending on your pre-set Base Order ID.

NOTE: AND MAKE SURE EACH SPELL HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE ORDER ID FOR A SINGLE UNIT, ELSE YOU WILL BE OVERLAPPING ITS ORDER ID.
