[Trigger] Detecting the end of a channeling spell

[bbfreak]

How can you detect the end of a channelling spell? Is this possible?

• Events
  • Unit - A Unit stops casting an ability
  • or
  • Unit - A Unit finishes the effect of an ability

I think either one works, the first one works if the spell is interrupted too, and the second one only works once all the channeling is done I believe.

The first one would also work when the player stopped the casting by himself by moving/clicking Stop/clicking Hold, so its not suggested.

where is finishing an effect of an ability? i can't find it anywhere

It's

• Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability

And it's the 20:th option in 'Unit - Generic Unit Event'.

alright i guess this is my real question:

I have a channeling ability where a unit casts it on a building. And after it finished channeling (20 seconds) it takes control of the building. I have worked on this and found a soultion however i need it to be MUI if anyone can help me with that.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Capture
• Actions
  • Set Check = False
  • Set Caster = (Owner of (Triggering unit))
  • Set Unit = (Target unit of ability being cast)
  • Wait 19.00 game-time seconds
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Life of (Triggering unit)) Less than or equal to 0.00
    • Then - Actions
      • Skip remaining actions
    • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • Check Equal to False
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Change ownership of Unit to Caster and Change color
        • Else - Actions

This is the only way i could find to work because the event:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability

Doesn't seem to work with channeling abilities.

And this is the second trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Capture
• Actions
  • Set Check = True

Thanks

Just make a Charm that has a cast time of 20 seconds and can work on buildings.
