[Spell] Multiple effects on 1 ability

[abbrenner]

I was suggested to come here from The Helper. Here was my post from there:

I'm trying to make an ability that has thunder clap slow and a stun if you are close enough. I based my ability off of thunder clap, and that part works just fine. However, I added the effect 'Stunned (Pause)', which is what storm bolt uses. This part doesn't work. Only the status buff shows up, but no stun actually takes place
So far I'm only working in GUI.
I have a dummy caster doing this.
Do I need to make a 2nd ability? If so, less than ideal but doable.

That's right we know better than them The Helper boys! (jk)

Yes adding buffs in the list won't work, you need to create a stun ability (or use a default one with no mana cost and no tech tree requirement), spawn a dummy unit and have it cast the stun on top of your thunder clap

OK, thanks. Do you know if there is a delay between casting abilities? Should I have 2 casters cast at the same time or can I add both abilities to 1 caster?

I'm not sure whether this works properly

• Actions
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Thunder Clap.
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp.

Thunder clap would be used with no problem, but a wait might be necessary before the second order is processed. Anyway, it would work best with 2 dummies imo

A properly configured dummy can cast instantaneously without having to turn to face its target. You can put both orders on consecutive lines.

Speed base 0, movement type None, cast point 0, cast backswing 0, attacks/shadow/minimap disabled, no gold/xp bounty.
