Instant ground target spell

[The_Silent]

I'm creating a custom ranged attack system that uses a trigger that looks something like this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Attack
• Actions
  • Custom Script: Call ForceUiKey("A")

(I'll do it over in vjass as soon as I've stopped experimenting)
This allows you to just click on the ground once you've started attacking (like a pseudo point and shoot system).

But this has quite the delay between attacks as most ground target spell I've tried takes time to cast, even with "casting time" set to 0.

I've tried with Channel and shockwave.

Any ideas?

You have to set the Animation - Cast Point of the unit itself to 0.

Fantastic, it works. Thanks

Although it will work on all spells of that unit. Plus it will still change facing direction. I think it will also stop the current order too.

That is fine in my case, I'll just adjust it with triggers and casting time instead.

Ok then. It's just that I have the same problem too and the animation won't start playing when you individually set the cast time of each spell unless you trigger all of the spell to play animation when unit begins casting.
How will you trigger to not break the order?

Can't that be fixed with channel? All my spells are triggered anyway.

 

[Flux]

No it can't be fixed with channel even at 0 cast point

 

[The_Silent]

Will have to do some testing then. Anyway thanks.

I recall reading in an older thread someone mentioning that Far Sight doesn't break orders, this might be useful.

I will test it when I can.
