My Dummy's Storm bolt ability doesn't work

[HolyWillRise]

How can i add stun effect, slow effect, damage reduction effect, armor reduction, dps and etc to a spell without any of those effects?

For example: Storm bolt with slow and burning effect Or reducting the armor of the target? (P.S the example spell doesnt matter)

I need to know how to add all of those effects to different abilities.

Thanks <3

You'll probably need a DDS or use dummies to add the effect. Example : When a unit cast Storm bolt on some target, create a dummy unit at the position of the caster and order it to cast slow on the target.

Dummies are basically invisible units that do nothing and only used to fulfil some purposes like in your example.

• Storm Bolt Slow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Storm bolt
  • Actions
    • Set Caster_Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Target_Unit = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Create 1 DUMMY for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Caster_Point facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees
    • Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Slow (Neutral hostile) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Sorceress - Slow Target_Unit
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Caster_Point)
    • Custom script: set udg_Target_Unit = null

Thank you a lot, i did all of that, but my question is, is there a way to cast specific (custom made) ability, not just only from the listed below

Warcraft 3 is an order based game units will use the first ready ability having that order. Your custom ability based on thunderclap, is still ordered with "thunderclap". This is also a big drawback, if you have 3 stormbolt spells the unit will probably not cast the one you just ordered (from the users view) but instead another one with the same order but interal in a earlier positon.

So my dummy gonna cast acid bomb instead of human slow? Which means it doesnt matter which ability you gonna order your unit to cast, because it gonna cast the ability you give to it, not the one which you order to cast it (which is the human slow in the situation)

Tried to make [Chaos Bolt] stun, but it doesnt work. The Dummy works, but its not stunning the enemy, why?

The order has to match the order of the ability you want your unit to cast which is the same for all clones of thunderclap , including the default one. the used orderString is written in object Editor for the ability (most times some miss it)

Has the dummy the mana to cast the ability?
Is it in range or the dummy can walk to it?
Can the dummy spell target the unit (allowed targets, spell immune)?
There are quite a lot of stormbolt spells (variants) with different orders, check if that stormbolt dummy is really using stormbolt as order.

Remove Dead, they can't do anything at all, therefore no reason to stun them.
If you add Invul then only invul units can be targeted. Add also vulnurable to be able to target both.

You could try test that in the game by giving that skill an controlable unit and try to cast it as user which would print error messages when trying to target something unallowed.
