Trigger Question

[GrandMaitre]

Hi,
Is there a way to make a unit unable to attack during (5 seconds in my case) ?
What function can make it?

Just issue a stop order when your unit attacks. Turn off the trigger after 5 seconds to make it timed.

EDIT: Or for MUI you can just make it so units with a specific buff can't attack and set the buff duration to 5 seconds.

• Has Buff
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has buff Your Buff) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Stop

EDIT 2:

Or add cargo hold to a unit and then remove it to enable attack.


Disable:

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility( udg_Unit, 'Abun' )

Enable:

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility( udg_Unit, 'Abun' )

The second option is indeed the best, but make an ability based on cargo hold with 0 max capacity, not on the original one, else people could just make units go inside the unit.

Thing is there's no buff.
Is there a way to stop unit during 5 sec without condition? Just right after it is touched by the ability?

 

[Wrda]

Then remove the condition? Put a wait? Place an action there? It's not that hard to try to figure it out yourself.
Is this supposed to be MUI? How is it supposed to work at all, the duration is higher than the cooldown?
There's so many seems to consider to make it decent.

Give us more information then. Is this an ability that disables attacks? Explain in detail exactly what you need or you will get solutions that aren't fit for your intended use.

 

[SharSash]

What about saving base damage and dice numbers into variables, then set them to 0 with a trigger and after 5 sec set them back to saved values? Will it do the trick?

You're obviously very new at this, are you sure you're not out of your depth with the map you're working on now? I don't mean to discourage you, but don't start something you can't finish. Start slow, work your way up.

You need to make the buff and have a dummy cast an ability that applies the buff.

It's just a custom spell dealing damage based on agility.
So the event is "Unit- A unit begins the casting of an ability
I just need how to add an action to make the unit unable to attack during 5 sec (it is supposed to be a part of the spell)

Pausing the unit should suffice then.

 

[DaneTheBeast]

Basing the spell on 'Channel' will give you an option to disable other abilities while it's casting. This is probably what you need.

 

[Uncle]

Don't use "begins casting an ability". Use "starts the effect of an ability". Also, you can use Drunken Haze for a disarming effect, just set it's Area of Effect to 0 so it doesn't hit other units besides the main one.

Unless i'm confused, and you want a 5 second channel time before the ability is released? Cast Time, the Channel ability, there's all sorts of ways to make a unit channel an ability.

 

[Devalut]

iirc Silence has an option to disable attack, try that

 

[Wrda]

It does indeed, but it's AOE and target point, not really good if units are clustered with air units right above them, it will be affect multiple units. Quite bad accuracy if you want it to affect only one unit.

Drunken Haze works like Silence but is single target (set AoE to 0).
