Taunt, Fear and such spells

[DevilDuke1995]

How do you make such spells without using a really low timer interval? Well you can, but still they're not uncancelable (is that a word?!) like DotA's berserker's call...

(By uncancelable i mean that if you order a unit to attack a widget every 0.035 seconds while its owner repeatidely orders it do something else it just rotates and does nothing...)

You don't need a periodic trigger. Just add the unit affected by the spell in a Unit Group and use this:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order targeting an object
  • Unit - A unit is issues an order targeting a point
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) is in UnitGroup) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Set Unit1 = (Load (Key(caster)) of (Key(Triggering unit)) from Hashtable)
  • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack Unit1

It uses hashtable as you can see. The caster is the unit casting the Berserker's call ability, who is saved to the affected unit, so that you can order the affected unit to attack him, whenever it is issued another order.

Awesome! I'd never thought of that!
