Channeling Problems Help

[australianbeast]

So I am attempting to make a trigger in which a unit casts a spell at target point every few seconds. This should be easy with the 'Unit- Issue Order Targeting a Point' action. However, the spell that I want the unit to cast is a custom spell based off of channel, targeting a point or a unit.

There is a channel option under the 'Unit- Issue Order With No Target' action, but I tried that and it did not work, the unit simply did not cast anything.

Does anyone know how to solve this or have any ideas? Thank you.

try not to make the unit channel for the animation but pause him with a trigger and use animation-paly unit's "spell chanell" animation

Use this:

• Set Unit = (your unit)
• Set Point1 = (point you want)
• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderLoc (udg_Unit, "channel", udg_Point1)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

Pharaoh_, I tried your suggestion but it keeps saying that 'function takes nothing returns nothing'

I'm sorry, I edited the trigger.

Thank you, that fixed that problem. But now when I test the map, the unit still doesn't cast anything..

The Data - Order Id must be "channel".

I touth of using that tread as it's related and the question here has already been asnwered.
I have 2 spells based on channel for the same hero, i dont wan them to colode/share cooldown, how can i do that?

Go to their "Data - Base Order Id" and use "channel" for the first one and "charm" for the second one, for example. They have to have different order id's, so that they do not collide. Place any id from that list, as long as it's different from the other ability :]
