how do you change a spell on and off to passive?

[Hairybeavet]

well mana shield for exaple. how do you change it from being able to click it on and off to being a passive ability?

and how do you change looping or channeling spells into a normal cast.. like stampede into something you cast and then you move and it will continue to cast? (without using a dumby if possible!)

bumb

 

[Evasion]

Those effects have to be done with triggers and dummy units, unfortunately.

are you serious? well how do i change a spell from channeling to non-channeling?

 

[Wyvernoid]

Why not make two abilities, and then when you want to change use "Unit - Add Ability" and "Unit - Remove Ability", that could be fine (and fun, how you come up with this? ;-)

what i dont think your really know what i asked or i dont know what you answer is! i want abilities to be passive and not clicked on and off. but that is a good idea for passive abilities to be clicked on and off! thanks for the idea!

And how you want it to work? If it is passive it must be triggered byu something and if you want more concrete answer, you must say more concrete question

 

[Hairybeavet]

how do you change an ability that has the turn on and off function to a straight passive ability.... or a channeling spell to an instant cast

 

[Alvatar]

Im afraid I do not understand what do you want

 

[Hairybeavet]

um i dont know how to make it any more clearer... how do you change an ability like Mana Shield or immobilation (on and off function) to a passive ability like evasion or crital strike???

good

Im not sure if it will work in that one, but it should.
Make some spellbook ability and place in that on/off ability you want. Then get that spellbook to unit you want and give it order to use this spellbook and set that ability on. Then disable this spellbook for that player.
Wanted effect: That on-off ability will be set on and inside spellbook wich is invisible and inacessable for that player - so it can not be turned off and is allways active (like passive ability). If you want make it wissible, make just info ability (like moonglaive or thunder hammers) with proper icon and info
