stoping a unit

[Vassara]

Stoping a unit when spell is activated.

How would i go about make a unit unable to move when a spell is activate.

desired effect:

unit activates searing arrow.

unit is unable to move when it is activated.

thank you for any help you can give

Try the action 'set movement speed'

 

[Vassara]

I tried that and all it did was make the unit stop but with one click could continue on its way.

what i am looking for is when a ability is activated such as searing arrow, the unit will be unable to move until the spell is deactivated.

it is possible that i did not use the trigger correctly so if it can be done with 'set movement speed' please give me an example of the trigger.

 

[Need_O2]

• Custom Script: call UnitRemoveAbility(GetTriggerUnit(),'Amov')

this will remove units move-patrol ability

• Custom Script: call UnitAddAbility(GetTriggerUnit(),'Amov')

dont forget to add it later

 

[Vassara]

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Aim Shot_test
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(GetTriggerUnit(),'Amov')

this is what i tried with no effect.

I trust you know what you taking about but could you please explain it a bit more in detail.

thank you for your help need_02

'Amov' ability is units moving ability
if you remove it unit will act like a building
It wont be able to move and its move-patrol actions will be removed
re-add the ability after you finish the spell

AND ITS "O" not 0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alternativelly, you can also pause/unpause the unit

From what I've tried, adding back the 'move' doesn't seem to work for me. Removing it works fine, but adding it back doesn't always work.

Ok...do you want the unit to stop when the skill is right clicked? (auto cast-on)

Does it have auto cast?

Then you will need to detect when it is auto-casted not when it is used

i tried this out and i'm having a problem re-adding the skill Amov once it's been taken, i think the problem is i'm not using a triggering unit. i've tried
call UnitAddAbilityBJ('Amov',udg_unit[1]), and
call UnitAddAbility(udg_unit[1],'Amov') but i'm guessing the unitaddability wants a function for the destination or somethin because it's not working right now

 

[wd40bomber7]

As far as I know, its straight out impossible to give back the move ability once its been taken, find a different way. Perhaps you could wait for a unit to do any kind of move order, then order the unit to stop

 

[Hero12341234]

I don't understand why you won't just Pause Unit and Unpause

 

[wd40bomber7]

He wants the unit to still be able to attack. Thus pausing/unpausing is not an option.

Order a dummy unit to cast ensnare on it.

Sounds like a good option...all he has to do is edit the skill so that the net does not appear..which is rather simple

 

[Just_Spectating]

you can remove the move ability with some custom script but keep attack

or add the classification ward to the unit

Ok guys first off, thanks for all the suggestions.

I have been out all night drinking so i won't be able to try them right now but will do tomorrow and lets you know what works.

what i am looking for is whats done in the drakonia rpg so i can make a hunter class hero have aim shot and not be able to move when activated but have bonus damage.

i thought about using defend but that just slows the units movement and not stop it.

once again thank you all for your help.


I am also looking for help with making an rpg. if intrested pm me and maybe we can get on vent and get some ideas going.
