When i do this:

• No abilities
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Arena <gen> contains (Casting unit)) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop

unit still casts an ability

 

[TriggerHappy]

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

 

[Karr123]

Nope, unit still cast an ability

 

[Licheus]

Does the Arena contain the Casting unit?

 

[Severalser]

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Start or beign casting is equal.


Now, if the ability requires channeling maybe it's goes stop but if the ability is casted at instant you can't stop them.

 

[Vinz]

Start and begin is not equal, as I heard so long ago, 'begins' doesn't possess some things 'starts' does. Furthermore, there is a tutorial called 'Casting Events Guide', which explains that begins channeling/casting is triggered before starts.

 

[NightStalker]

if i remember it right;

begins casting is the little time period before the mana is used and the cooldown is started

and

starts the effect of an ability is after the mana has been substracted and the cooldown is started.

Invisibility is cast with

• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

or

• Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability

or

• Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

and with

• No abilities
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Arena <gen> contains (Casting unit)) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

but other abilities is not cast with 3 events at the same time but uses mana (and no cooldown)

Does the Arena contain the Casting unit?

Nope, unit is not in arena.

As far as I know, 'Unit Begins channeling an ability' should work.

If I recall correctly, even though the ability isn't channeled, that refers to as soon as the hero meets the conditions to begin casting the spell he was ordered to.

Maybe try using 'Triggering Unit' for the conditions too? I doubt that's the problem though.

Also, what is (or are) the ability(ies) you're trying to stop?

Define casting ability. What ability? Is your Invisibility in fact Windwalk?
This trigger will work for most usual abilities.
Instant abilities will not be affected. Eg Berserk, Avatar, Windwalk.

Alternatively, you can try this:

    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    Conditions
        (Issued order) Equal to (Order(berserk))
        Arena <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to False
    Actions
        Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
        Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
        Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)

And of course, the Casting unit can be an issue sometimes as mentioned in post above. Use Triggering unit and see if it changes anything.

• Untitled Trigger 006

    • Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)

Works, thanks vypur85.
