If you want to do this in GUI i recommend you this 2 triggers:

• Time Stop 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to YourAbility
  • Actions
    • -------- I'm assuming that you have made buff for time stop --------
    • -------- The buff MUST have duration --------
    • -------- For this trigger you need 2 group variables and 1 location (point) --------
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set TempGroup = (Units within 500.00 of TempPoint matching (YourConditions)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- You pause actions here --------
        • -------- And animation set to 0% --------
    • Unit Group - Add all units of TempGroup to PauseGroup
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)
    • -------- Add this for better preformance --------
    • -------- Its not necessary --------
    • Trigger - Turn on Time Stop 2 <gen>

• Time Stop 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- This trigger unpauses units --------
    • -------- by checking if they have pause buff --------
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in PauseGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff YourBuff) Not equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- Unpause unit and return its animation speed --------
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from PauseGroup
          • Else - Actions
    • -------- Preformance increase --------
    • -------- You don't have to add this into your trigger --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of units in PauseGroup) Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

Well thanks. I'll try it and reply here. Thanks for your help. But 1 problem still remains, because i want the paused units to be invulnerable. If the units have invulnerable they remove all buffs from them so i rly don't know how to fix that. Can u tell me how to solve this problem?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

I think that is impossible. I will try to fix it and inform you.

Oh, I have the solution: Add every unit 100% evasion and spell immunity insted of Invulnerability.
Don't forget to remove it in second trigger.

 

[Igor_Z]

Oh nice idea m8, +rep for you. I'll try it and reply here

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Hehe, no problem. Contact me if you need anything.

 

[Igor_Z]

Ok friend, i will PM you if i need help

 

[Igor_Z]

Problem here, child need help man... The spell pauses/sets animation speed to 0 and all but the stun buff lasts like forever. Why is that? I set the duration to 3/5/7 for units 3/5/7 for heroes. Help please

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Ok, I know where is the problem. Don't use Unit-Pause function. Instead make dummies cast storm bolt on unit, or base your spell of war stomp.

 

[Igor_Z]

Ahm why is that?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Seems that Unit- Pause freezes the buff

 

[Igor_Z]

Oh, w8 w8. I need few minutes to test. I'll reply here as soon as possible

 

[Igor_Z]
