'Channel' Ability Help

[Jetherit]

I am making a map that uses Channel abilities to activate and deactivate actions to a unit. The problem is, although I made it's duration 0, the ability is highlighted, as if it's casting the ability. This also disables me from casting the inverse ability, which disable the actions. I don't think the actual actions in the trigger affect this, but I really have no idea. Help, plz o_o.

JUST KIDDING I GOT IT FIGURED OUT!

duriation of 0 is infinite. make it .01

also, did you uncheck the part that says Disables other abilities equal to true? to make it not true.

Is the "Follow over time" 180 ? set it to 0 or something close to that.

And Spec, 0 isn't infinite, its 0 (which isn't really 0 because of delay and lag and bla bla bla, its just a really short time).

Ghost, Just_Spectating is right, 0 in the object editor means infinite. Try to set duration of storm bolt to 0, the targeted unit will never get out of the stun. Same for all the other abilities.

raft, that only applies when their is something to have a duration. Since channel spells are literally open palettes to do whatever you want with them, the 0 duration will only be infinite if you make it do something. In this case, it was only to have the spell cast, the spell itself has no effects. Thanks all.

I find the channel ability weird, cuz it stops my firelord from fulfilling his attack animation and look strange when he uses the ability. Any counters or solutions for that problem...?

Change animations ? (first line of any spell)
