[General] Playing animation..

[Chaosy]

I made an ability based on the item ability Item Area Heal because it does not interrupt orders.
However, the unit stops to cast it - which is not ideal. There is no animation in the settings, nor cast time, so I suspect it's hardcoded.

Good alternative abilities?

I was thinking of Windwalk which I know is instant and does not play animation. However I am not sure if you can prevent the unit from going invisible.

Worst case scenario I will have to use the esc key.. but that is not a comfortable keybinding.

Shouldn't Windwalk work if you set the invisibility time to 0.01?
You know the rest, trigger, dummy bla bla.

I was thinking about that. But it would make those attacking you to lose the target and interrupt the order for said attackers.

Divine Shield would have the same issue, I assume?

 

[Chaosy]

Indeed.
I have another solution in place right now but it's not ideal. But I will manage even if there is no perfect solution ;p

It is definitely hardcoded. That is weird though... Item Area Heal are one of the few abilities that does not interrupt movement commands. If you want it to be instant, you need to set cast point and backswing to 0. However, I'm not sure if that will make it so that it still doesn't interrupt the movement order.

This might be useful:

Berserk, Defend, Magical Defense, Mana Shield, Immolation, Divine Shield.
