[Spell] Channel

How to make channeling ability not channeling?

 

[Nichilus]

I would do it via dummy unit and dummy spell.
Give dummy spell to hero. When hero begins casting this dummy spell, create dummy unit at his location and give him the actual spell and order him to cast it. Dummy unit will channel the spell, while your hero may move however he wishes.

In case you anted that dummy unit to move with the hero, you will need a trigger that moves the dummy unit every 0,03 seconds via commands SetUnitX(unit, X_coordinate_of_point) and SetUnitY(unit, Y_coordinate_of_point). These do not interrupt orders like the basic "Move unit" action.


There may be better ways to do it than the way I am described.

I can't find how to order a unit to cast a spell. Help?

I don't know if it works but you can add delay to some ability and with triggers you can create all the effect of your custom ability when the unit is in delay casting time.

in the action list it is one of these:
"Unit - Issue order targeting a unit/a point/a destructible/an item"
or
"Unit - Issue order with no target"

If the ability targets a unit (e.g. Holy Light), you want to use the action "Issue order targeting a unit"; if it is targeting a point (e.g. Blizzard), you want to issue order targeting a point; etc.
If it does not require any target (e.g. Starfall, Berserk, ...), you have to "Issue order with no target"


Also, you have to issue an ability from which you based off your own custom ability.
For example - If you create new ability called "Passive heal", which is based off Tranquility, and you want a dummy unit to cast this "Passive heal" ability, then you have to issue order with no target -> in the list find "Night Elf - Tranquility" (or something like that); You have to order Tranquility because your own ability is based off tranquility.

If you based off your ability off Blizzard, then you have to issue "Blizzard", etc.

Order "rain of fire" will make the unit cast any ability based on rain of fire, it does not have to be the original.

The order you will give will always be based on which skill you based your ability (expect if it's based on "Channel"), so if it's RoF based, order it to use RoF; if it's stormbolt based, order it to use stormbolt and so on
