[Spell] [Reforged] Freeze animation on Bash-Stun

[Ugabunda]

Hi all,

I want to re-create the ability "Time Lock" from Dota. It's basically Bash with a trigger that freezes the animation of a unit when stunned.

My triggers work for 1 stunned unit. But as soon as 2 units are affected by the stun, the trigger bugs out: The first stunned unit's animation is frozen forever, while the 2nd stunned unit works normal.

Does anyone have a clever idea how to solve this, while keeping this as performance friendly as possible? (I don't want to have a 0.05 interval running 24/7 in the background)

Thanks!

Just solved it myself by using 3 triggers. In case someone else has the same problem, here my solution:

• TimeLock Learn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Time Lock
    • (Learned skill level) Equal to 1
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on TimeLock Loop <gen>

• TimeLock Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TimeLock_LockedUnits and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff Time Lock (Pause)) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from TimeLock_LockedUnits.
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (TimeLock_LockedUnits is empty) Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Trigger - Turn on TimeLock Start again <gen>
                • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) has buff Time Lock (Pause)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\AbsorbMana\AbsorbManaBirthMissile.mdl
