Back from the dead, the legend is back!
As a tribute to an old friend - Paladon - I coded a system in his honor which looks a lot like his old systems.
This is the UnitIndexer Version.
And I'm sorry, new computer, haven't installed photoshop thus awesome paint picture
and I'm sorry, it doesn't use firebolt as dummy ability but stormbolt works just fine when you made it an ultimate ability (with standard game constants ^^)

So time for some pros vs. cons.
Pros
Can stun any given unit at any given time.
Can cancel stun at any given time.
Can stun magic immune units (If constants are not touched ^^)
Any duration.
Stun stacks with other stuns from the system (rarely a pro, can also be a con but as said, implemented a cancel feature as well). - NOW YOU CAN CHOOSE IF YOU WANT IT TO STACK WITH THE PREVIOUS STUN OR JUST CHOOSE THE LAST ONE.Only uses one dummy unit.
Cons
A unit can basicly be perma-stunned as the stuns stack with each others. - This can only happen if the user now only uses stack with the boolean added ^^If you checked the constant "ultimate goes through magic immune" or whatever the name is, it will not work on magic immune units (false by default which makes it workable).
Well I included a GFX string variable BUT I recommend to use the standard version. Cause if different abilities got different stun GFX and a unit gets stunned, the GFX will not stack but the stun will (no it doesn't leak).
GFX will be overhead - I will not change this.
Shouldn't be used it any other stun systems nor even stun abilities. But it should work with other stun abilities due to the fact of custom buff yet I have not tested it so I cannot recommend this.
Structures cannot be target.

Have fun with the system. Give credit if used please.
