Ensnare animation and stop unit moving.

[DrTema]

Hello, I am working on one map and I got 2 problems here. I want put shooter on the tower, so I made him fly and changed his altitude, so it looks like he standing on tower. Now I need make him not move/hold. I've tried to put all his movement speeds (min,base and max) to 0, but when he shooting to the enemy he not turn/face to that enemy. So I decided give him unlimited ensnare debuff and remove net animation, but faced one problem. There is 2 kind of animation. First is when unit use spell and "throw" the net and second is when net on the unit. So when I editing ensare spell I can't find where is this second animation and how to remove it. Please help.

And sorry for my English

The second animation - the one where the target is "captured" by the net is set in the "buff" of the ability. If you did it via Ensnare, then go to "Buffs/Effects" tab in object editor, find "Ensnare" buff and you will see that there is also an effect set up in it. Remove that effect and it should work.

Well this work, I've found 3 type of effect, for air, foot and common, but editing it will affect on normal Ensnare too, and I want to do custom Ensnare spell with custom buff/effect. Is that possible to connect them somehow?

Create custom spell based off the original Ensnare spell. Do the same for Ensnare buff.
Then add your own ensnare buff to your own custom ensnare.
Make those special units use your custom ensnare, while other units use the original one.

or i guess you can put invisible platform and pathing blocker... much easier ^^

But how do I add custom ensnare buff to custom ensnare spell? I just can't find how to do that.

Maybe yes, but now I am curious how to add buff to spell.
