Pause the unit and unpause it when animation is over.

Yes it works but when my hero attacks and uses the ability, he will just keep attacking the target only way to cancel it is to press S.

Change the "a unit begins casting an ability" to a unit starts the effect of an ability.

In the ability itself, set the required animation names to the animation you want to use.
If you want the spell to be a channeled spell, I recommend unit the "Channel" Ability as a custom ability.
