Make AI controlled heroes not used their abilities

[Solu9]

Is there a way to make AI controlled heroes not use their abilities unless ordered to do so via triggers?

I kinda want the whole auto attack - auto acquire target thing the AI does, but per default it will also use abilities rather randomly. Normally a fine feature I guess, but I need it not to.

Any ideas?

1.use abilities that are not used by AI (channel for example)
2.block using abilities and only unlock them when you want them to cast them (mana or techtree requirement). Once you unlock the ability, order the hero immediatly to cast it, after the ability was succesfully used, lock it again

So no way without a wierd work around?

I kinda want the standard War3 abilities just not how the AI is using them, so the first option is not so feasible.
The second option seem a bit gimmicky and sound like there could be rare incidents where the AI will still use an ability at random when fx. the tech tree (which is the option I would use) got opened.

If you use:
unlock ability
use ability
There is no time in between, so the AI can't use the ability on its own.
I doubt that the AI would cancel an order of an ability just to use the ability somewhere else. So even if "use ability" would not be instant I don't think there is a problem.

Unfortunately I don't know a better solution to prevent the AI's spell usage.
