How to: Channel Basic Attacks (Fast through ability)

[SnowYell]

Hi

I am making a kind of 'Hack n Slash' game mode. Until now I've made the attack ability. You use a Thunder Clap ability with attack animation attached. A dummy unit will deal damage in a cone in front of the casting unit.

I want to make like a channeling ability, which will damage all enemies in front over time, but I want the attack animation to fire much faster, like a frenzy. Any abilities or triggers to do this?

I am really not that experienced. I know a bunch of stuff about triggering but I am not a pro tho. I need it as basic as possible.

Any ideas?

For GUI, Animation - Change Unit Animation Speed.

Animation - Change YOUR_UNIT's animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed

For JASS, SetUnitTimeScale takes unit whichUnit, real timeScale returns nothing where timeScale is in decimal form.

It's a simple click and set. You'll just have to remember to reset it's animation speed back to normal after the channel is over.

I take it I just have to make use of the Channel ability for this?
And for every interval, I'll summon a dummy unit to cast a damaging ability, or how would you arrange it?

When the ability is cast, just set the caster's animation speed to whatever you want it to be. When the channel is over or interrupted, reset it.
