Silence with triggers

[Arganato]

How can I silence units with triggers? I didnt find any function that does it (is there one? jass or gui, doesnt matter), and the silence-spell is aoe, which makes it hard to trigger dummy-units to cast it. Are there any other spells I can use?

tnx

Only way to do this is to make a dummy cast the silence spell on the desired unit. Via triggers.

And you could just reduce the aoe to around 10 and make it directly cast at the unit or make it a single target spell from world editor.

If it's a one-target ability, then use Soul Burn.
Use the action:

• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Fire Lord - Soul Burn (Target unit of ability being cast)

Soul burn? Great! Thanks a lot

Just change the buff of Soul Burn to "silence" and the damage over time to zero.

 

[Arganato]

Yup, that part I figured out

But wouldn't it be easier to set the dummy unit's casting stuff to 0, ability cooldown to 0, spell animation none, then create a dummy and cast to units nearby or in that AoE by picking the units.

Hope this will help

EDIT: If you like the idea, will you write it here?, and if yes and you don't know how, i'll write the triggers here.

The spell is AOE (what is that bro?, whut? ) i thought he wanted an AoE spell, sorry, my bad, use the stuff they suggested

The normal silence is aoe, no reason to pick anything

lol, hehe, tnx man

well, I've done a bit of coding before, so I know the basics, I've just got problems with all the built in functions. They look like a mess...

yeah, my spell is singlecast. what I meant is that the original silence-spell is an aoe-spell. If I wanted it aoe, yours solution sounds quite smart (exept that I'd have to make a new dummy-unit ).
tnx for the reply anyways
