How can I 'detach' auto-cast?

[Zovc]

For a map I am making, I want to use bloodlust as the basis of a skill. The only thing is, I don't want this character to rapidly and/or randomly stop what he's doing to cast this spell on his allies.

How can I stop Warcraft 3 from allowing me to right-click this skill and enable auto-casting?

Well, make a dummy spell (no effects) not based on an auto-cast one and make a trigger like this one:

• Bloodlust
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Bloodlust
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add Bloodlust (Dummy) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Bloodlust (Dummy) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Bloodlust for (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Hope I helped!

Simply write a trigger that disables autocast as soon as they enable it. It is way better than the method above and should not have bugs if coded properly.

Okay, so what you are suggesting I do is to have a skill that makes a dummy cast bloodlust?

That seems like it would work, this'll be my first dummy.

Do you guys suggest I make a new thread for individual problems or just have one thread for all of my problems?

I might need guidance on the dummy unit, I doubt it though. Thanks for that screenshot, that helps a bunch.

EDIT

Simply write a trigger that disables autocast as soon as they enable it. It is way better than the method above and should not have bugs if coded properly.

I suppose that is more efficient, would the trigger instantly disable autocast? Assuming I can't figure out how to make a trigger that disables autocast, how do I do that? I haven't tried that trigger yet, I'm doing as soon as I post this.
