[Trigger] GUI: Unit is channeling

[LordDz]

How do I check if an unit is still channeling a spell?
I want to make it so that a spell takes 3 seconds to summon a unit, and the caster needs to channel the spell for 3 seconds until the unit is summoned. So that it can be canceled by stuns and such.

Add a casting time to the skill .

thats right.
Stats - Casting Time

Add a casting time to the skill .

What I meant was:
I want 0 casting time, so that I can start a sound when the guy is channeling it, then after 3 seconds, if he still is channeling the spell, I will create a unit with triggers.
And some other effects for other triggers...

So... Is it possible?

Hmm....try this:

• Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to ...
  • Actions
    • Turn on Casting Cancelled

• Casting Cancelled
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) equal to something or whatever
  • Actions
    • Don't create summoned unit

If there's a better way, I'd like to hear about it.

Start the sound with "Unit starts ability", and do as I said before.

Could work. Thx!

you can just use the event Unit->Stops casting/channeling an ability

EDIT: I'm sure this works when the unit is stunned too.

^Sometimes the solution is just too simple. That works great.
