[General] Making unit immobile but can attack

[ninehell]

Anyone knows how to make my hero become immobile but can still attack like towers after using transformation spell based of tinker robo goblin spell. I tried to use dummy unit to web my hero after he use that robo goblin spell but after hero got web debuff, hero cant use the robo goblin spell to return to his original form. any idea?

Damn a few minutes ahead of me.
Setting movement speed to 0 would probably work as well, though you need to set the "minimum movement speed" to 0 in gameplay constants.

Setting ms to 0 causes the unit to not rotate any more.

But it would be able to attack in that direction!

What is SetUnitPropWindow SUPPOSED to be used for? I don't recall ever seeing that function before.

 

[Wietlol]

The Prop Window is the angle in which you can cast spells and attack etc.
So you can have a Prop Window difference between your facing angle and the angle between you and the target.

That it stops the movement of said unit, is just something weird assuming the unit never really faces that angle (but it can rotate... and it doesnt apply on movement).
