The Making of Spells

[343-GuiltySpark]

I want to start working on spells, but I'm having a MAJOR problem. The problem is I can't decide which original spell should I pick as my custom spell. I want a spell to start from absolute zero stats, so the stats can be at the triggerings. Please help me out, this is really bothering me!

Help once again, appreciated!

Well it depends what you want your spell to do. Generally the Channel ability is a good start, look at the WarCraft III: Ability Guide that is in my signature and search the text "Channel", it should provide some good documentation on how to use the ability.

Funny, I actually found it before you posted. I assumed this ability is elemental.

Anyway I made the spell I wanted to make, added triggers and all, but I'm having a problem. When I add it to the Hero (research), it won't show up!

Make sure that you have the "Visible" flag checked for the channel ability.

Jeez, you're extremely helpful, thanks! But..... I have another problem, and hopefully the last one. My unit keeps channeling the spell without stopping.

Be sure you have the "Disable other abilities" unchecked (false) and set your follow-through time to 0.00, see if that doesn't help.
