Somehow that keeps the casting unit in an endless loop of pausing/unpausing.
But i'm not sure why.. Anyone?

Try this:

Trigger

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Pick Up
  • Actions
    • Unit - Pause (Casting unit)
    • Custom script: call PolledWait(4.00)
    • Unit - Unpause (Casting unit)

Oh and also, if you still prefer to use timers like in your second trigger to unpause your hero, I suggest you adding a buff/condition requirement. Because right now, that second trigger will fire every 4.00 seconds to unpause all heroes owned by player 1, 2, 5 and 7.

Still a no-go.
It pauses, waits the 4 seconds, then unpauses/pauses. Repeat.
=\

Maybe there's another trigger interfering? Check your other triggers.

 

[Nackel]

Do you think it might be because the base spell is Mass Teleport?

 

[reza sword2]

Try basing it off another spell.

Ew. I don't like your implementation.

What if you cast it, the unit is paused, then half a second later the second trigger fires?
Or you cast it, the unit is paused, then 3.80 seconds later the second trigger fires...

And yes, mass teleport is a follow through time ability. Base it off something else.
If you're not sure what to base it off, give us a description on exactly what the ability should do (animation, buff, and target wise).

Well as the Ability name states, its supposed to "Pick Up" the unit and drop him off where you click.. Following the drop off, there should be a 2-4 second stun time, from being dropped.

Use the hero ability channel (when making new ability) and edit it to your wishes. It's the best for dummy spells.
