reduction of cast time

[I-IntegraL]

Hello again everyone. Does anyone know how to minimize the skill animation cast time? So that the hero doesn't "freeze" for a couple of seconds when using abilities and continues attacking. Game version: Reforge 2.03.

All abilities have a Casting Time which can further delay the cast. Channel in particular has a Follow Through Time which can do the same but is really intended for "channeled over time" effects. Also make sure Disable Other Abilities is set to False.

Set all of these values to 0.00 for "instant" casts.

But even with an "instant" cast animation the act of casting an ability will interrupt Orders. There are a few abilities that have true instant behavior which don't interrupt Orders, such as Berserk or Defend.

I made a system for controlling all of this, although it doesn't fix the "instant" problem, it's more about custom animations:

Advanced Ability Animations

A simple system which enables the following: Give any ability a unique Art - Animation - Cast Point and any Animation of your choosing. Cast Point is the value that determines how long it takes to cast a spell. Normally, you define this value once on your Unit and it applies to ALL of their...

On second thought you probably don't need this, but it does serve as a good reference.
