[General] Dummy spells for hotkeys?

[stan0033]

Because I want soem spells that are unit target or area target to be instant cast I wonder is there a spell that is not visible on the unit, but can be activated with hokey and when cast to order a trigger to cast the real spell? I was thinking channel but if I dont have the tag 'visible'then I fear it might not activate.

I'm afraid there is no such thing.

You have esc and arrow buttons.

Hello. I think that if a spell isn't visible it can't be casted via hotkey(no sure about that). You can use channel with instant box checked, that way is an istant ability and can be used to activate the trigger via hotkeys. Or you can make 2 ability based on channel (remember to change the sting command), one ability is visible but has a black icon, the other is not visible. When the unit cast the first ability a trigger make it cast the second one. Maybe it's a bit tricky and complex but you cna still try
