Casting-Channeling Bar v1.6.0

The casting bar is made out of floating text, and is displayed when a unit casts a spell.
The Casting Bar is hidden to players who don't have vision of the casting unit.
The casting bar's color variates depending on which player casted it.
NEW!
Reworked and removed a lot of useless GUI

This uses Bribe's Indexer

But this casting bar system can be used with any unit indexing system.



v1.0.0 - First release to hive.
v1.0.1 - Got rid of many hideous loops, removed the sight of bar (going to make it based off of player vision soon) and made size changeable. I also think I have made it easier to add/edit spells.
v1.0.2 - Added levels to casting time, also made it easier to add abilities.
v1.0.3 - Added offset and visibility of the bar to those who can see the casting unit.
v1.0.4 - Improved the code a TON, also fixed things due to request.
v1.5.0 - Added channeling bar and fixed a little bug at the beginning of the bar.
v1.5.1 - Quickly redid some logic to prevent spells that weren't set to have no casting bar
v1.5.2 - Changed how the bar is offset, made the bar follow the caster.
v1.6.0 - Removed as many BJs as possible whilst still keeping it GUI friendly

Approved since it works nicely. -Change the version number to 1.x.x, obviously it is not 0.0.x -Change the Temp real conditions as suggested in my reply to this thread -Rethink the way you show/hide the floating text for player, now you do too...

It doesnt work for me. When I (for example) set casting time for phoenix up to 5 and try to cast the spell, the bar shows up for a short moment before it dissapears again without counting the time.

What to do?

Edit: After new setup it works fine for me. Great work.
Thanks for sharing this!

Edit2: What values do I have to change to set the displayed bar above the head of the hero?

I know that this is quite old but I found something to improve,
Maybe it is only for me but when unit begins casting an ability, it gets "paused" without playing casting animation, when bar gets full, unit starts playing animation, so it is really weird when I have ability which's casting time is 3 seconds and unit just stay paused, is there a way to fix it? or I have to use dummies?

Hi and well made casting bar (just copied into my map)

When copied the triggers, BeginCast had multiple errors. Read along the comments and Maker said that you should make a new variable TempInteger2. This should be in the description, because just straight copy-paste turns off BeginCast with multiple errors.

Secondly, because I am using first person camera, the casting bar is not located above the unit casting, but on the ground. Any idea how to fix this, it really looks junky to have the bar on the ground.

Will this work for training units instead of casting spells?
Like when training units from any building, to display
training unit progress above the building?
