[JASS] JASS scirpt that cancels an ability

[Raldios]

I need the JASS script to cancel a currently casting ability.

I have this, that only works for training and upgrades I believe.

call IssueImmediateOrderById( udg_<variable>, 0x000d0008 )

 

[Cokemonkey11]

stop should work.

In the Trigger:

• Refine Materials
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Casting unit)) Equal to Refinery
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Refine
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Owner of (Casting unit)) Current lumber) Greater than or equal to 100
        • (Mana of (Casting unit)) Greater than or equal to 10.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set mana of (Casting unit) to ((Mana of (Casting unit)) - 10.00)
        • Player - Set (Owner of (Casting unit)) Current gold to (((Owner of (Casting unit)) Current gold) + 90)
        • Player - Set (Owner of (Casting unit)) Current lumber to (((Owner of (Casting unit)) Current lumber) - 100)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

Stop doesn't do anything. The spell keeps casting.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

call SetUnitPositionLoc(GetSpellAbilityUnit(),GetUnitLoc(GetSpellAbilityUnit()))

Try that.

What parts of it do I have to change. I've never dabbled in JASS/Custom Scripts except for that script I used above.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

u change nothing, just put it in custom text.

 

[Raldios]

I see what's happening. It doesn't cancel it in the middle of the cast. It waits till the end spell when it's going to cast and then cancels it. Wastes time, but I guess it works.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

not sure why that would happen... ur event says 'begins to cast'

 

[Raldios]

Did more testing, if I take that cancel string out the same thing happens. It just casts the ability and does nothing else since it's going through the Else commands.

 

[Vulcano]

call IssueImmediateOrder( yourunithere, "stop" )

this works for me for stopping a channeling spell

 

[Shadow Daemon]

Try that:

• Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
• Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
• Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)

 

[Raldios]

Thanks for the help guys, but none of them worked. I'm probably doing something wrong.

It works fine without the stop command anyways. It's a looping command that won't hinder the next time it goes through even if it casts without any results.

• Custom script: call SetUnitPosition(GetTriggerUnit(), GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit()), GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit()))

It works. Dont whine it does not, it does. It is the same as Cokemonkey11 said, only without leaks,,

Wow, I wasn't under the impression thanking people and saying I probably did something wrong is whining.

 

[Yixx]

Im just telling you it works, and that you should probably try again then,,
But you are right that i could have been a little nicer to you,, My apolagies for that.
Just copy the exact line i wrote there and put it in a custom script,,
Here is the line again:
call SetUnitPosition(GetTriggerUnit(), GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit()), GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit()))

Try again and see if it works,,

        • (Mana of (Casting unit)) Greater than or equal to 10.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set mana of (Casting unit) to ((Mana of (Casting unit)) - 10.00)
        • Player - Set (Owner of (Casting unit)) Current gold to (((Owner of (Casting unit)) Current gold) + 90)
        • Player - Set (Owner of (Casting unit)) Current lumber to (((Owner of (Casting unit)) Current lumber) - 100)
      • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call SetUnitPosition(GetTriggerUnit(), GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit()), GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit()))

I honestly have no idea why this doesn't work. One of the reasons why I'm gonna switch over to JASS. Hopefully soon when I can work on the code with my dad.

EDIT: To clarify, the building just sits there casting the ability

    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Owner of Caster) Current lumber) Greater than or equal to 100
        • (Mana of Caster) Greater than or equal to 10.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set mana of Caster to ((Mana of Caster) - 10.00)
        • Player - Set (Owner of Caster) Current gold to (((Owner of Caster) Current gold) + 90)
        • Player - Set (Owner of Caster) Current lumber to (((Owner of Caster) Current lumber) - 100)
      • Else - Actions
        • Countdown Timer - Start Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds

• Stop
  • Events
    • Time - Timer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order Caster to Stop

That should work. Ordering unit on another order event doesn't work directly, so you have to either put a wait or use a timer like I did now.

Btw, I use "triggering unit" since it's a little faster than "casting unit", but I guess it's just the matter of style.
