How can I interrupt channeling ? (based off channel ability)

[streetpunk]

How can I interrupt channeling (follow through time or casting time) ?

 

[TriggerHappy]

You should just be able to issue an order to the unit (stop, stun, ect..).

 

[streetpunk]

ordering it to stop makes the unit stay in channel mode (paused ui card) forever

 

[TriggerHappy]

Have you tried this?

• Unit - Pause Unit
• Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById(udg_Unit, 851973)
• Unit - Unpause Unit

I tried it now, same effect, everlasting channel

 

[TriggerHappy]

Hmm, not sure.

Maybe this would work

Is this vJASS? does it require jassnewgen ?

Follow through time can be interrupted by any normal orders iirc.

 

[Rheiko]

Well, unless you pause the unit when it channels (Data - Disable Other Abilities)

 

[Wietlol]

Then why would you want to?

The only reason I would think you want to have it set to true is when you force the unit to do an action... which in that case, you dont want to interrupt it at all.

 

[Rheiko]

That's the point. He probably set it to true by accident. Just to make sure that it is in false state.

 

[streetpunk]

It is set to true by default, I wasn't aware of this function, but I need it to disable other abilities, I'm doing an "bandage" ability to heal the target, and the target can't do anything while bandaging self or other units, and I need it to take 3 seconds to complete it, BUT if the unit is already full health then I want the channel to be interrupted and an error message will appear saying the unit has already full life. My problem is beign able to stop the channeling if the unit has full health, I have all conditions done but I can't cancel the channel
PS: Thanks everyone for the help!

 

[Rheiko]

You will probably need two abilities then. One is for your unit to cast and the other one is for the channeling/pause part.
As for the channeling part, do as TriggerHappy said in your other thread.

Give your unit the channel ability with base order ID defend, order your unit to cast it when you cast your ability.
Remove it after 3 seconds or when your unit has full health.

 

[Wietlol]

A triggered order to stop will work, but that wont activate the cooldown.
Maybe you want to have a system dealing with the cooldowns.
I recall flux having uploaded such a thing.

 

[streetpunk]

Why the defend order ID, Rheiko ?
No, Wietol I actually don't need cooldowns

 

[Rheiko]

because defend doesn't interrupt unit's order when it is cast.
