[Spell] Channel + "casts a spell" event + 0 cast point

[Lambdadelta]

Solved (Link)

It seems that if you try to catch a unit casting a spell in order to cancel it, it will not work if the spell is based on Channel AND the casting unit has zero casting point. It seems that 0.010 second cast point will bypass this (maybe lower, but I haven't played around with it).

Anyways to bypass whilst still retaining a Channel-object based spell and a zero cast point? I've opted to just use the 0.010 cast point (might actually change base spells though), but I'm curious as to whether there is a feasible way to get around this (yes, I know that 0.01 second difference isn't much, but still ).

Thanks.

uhm, try begins casting?

or is issued an order?

I did use both begins cast event and begins channel event.

I will try issued an order.

BTW, why would you want a unit that has a 0 cast point?

try starts the effect of an ability.

You can't stop the order anymore in that case, the spell's effect has already started...

BTW, at 0 cast point, I believe spells fire the Begins casting + Starts effect at almost the same time (I've read it somewhere)

For gameplay balancing I suppose. I didn't come up with the value of 0 cast point, I'm just doing this for someone else whose hero has a 0 cast point.

As Adiktuz says, the spell has began its effect in that event.

It seems so. Although I issue the pause and stop then unpause, the spell's cooldown GOES into effect, but the triggered effect doesn't?

But I have solved this by checking with issued order events. Thanks!
