Is there an unit/point ability that can be cast while walking ?

What do you mean cast while walking?, like a triggered life drain spell?

 

[Warseeker]

Like the Crypt Lord's Ultimate Ability maybe?

 

[Shar Dundred]

No, it's not possible.
WarCraft makes the unit stop and face said point to
cast the spell while also checking if the unit/point is within range.

streetpunk wanted to know a point targeting ability that is not interrupting orders.

@streetpunk, maybe try the reveal ability?

EDIT: too late, but I guess, SharDundred is right. So you may trigger it by using a non-interrupting dummy ability like defend, catch the order and select a dummy that has your point abil and is somewhere in the edge of the map where you cannot see it. ...

The best way is to have a system record the orders of units... in particular with the feature of continuing the one but last issued order.

When a unit is ordered to use your spell, you then have all the data in triggers that you need.
To make the unit continue walking, you issue the unit to continue the one but last order (the one before the ability order).
Then you can trigger the animations and effects of the spell while the unit is technically not interrupted... the only problem is that if it was channeling something, it stopped.

Reveal is a point ability that does what you want, it also doesn't interrupt any orders otherwise you can use a dummy unit to obtain this same effect. Though make sure to increase the range for Reveal ability if you choose to try/use it, it doesn't cast outside its range.

Reveal doesn't target units, only points

Reveal doesn't target units, only points

Then trigger it to target units, though you might want to try to think of a counter to spamming it like mana cost or cooldown.

^ Sadly theres no warcraft based skill can cast a targeted unit/point without interrupting the current order.

Could be possible but needs a complex knowledge in triggering.
And you may need to set the cast point, blend time, castbacks animation of the caster to 0 value in its object data OR use the begins casting spell event and trigger the cooldown and its manacost.

Create custom channel ability based on a target point/unit, set its follow through time to 0, visible, order id carrion swarm, animation walk or stand.

You must use Unit Indexer System for saving the units' issued order for moving. ( save the location where the caster will move )

Unit starts the effect of an ability
Create an actual dummy or also trigger the whole spell event.
Its up to you if you want the dummy to cast a rain of fire, blizzard or carrion swarm on the spell targeted location. After that get the caster's user data and order the caster to move at the saved location. Done.

Im not sure if it will work but in this case the caster is still walking or moving to the issued move location without showing any spell animation order when he already casts the spell.

Or trigger the whole movement of the caster ( it will look like a little slide motion ) where you can use SetUnitX/Y to move the caster to the saved move location ( and does not interrupts the current order ) even channeling but its an odd btw.
