[Solved] Triggering bosses spells

[P3in]

Hello guys, i have having some issues regarding triggering bosses spells..here is how a full boss level looks like via triggers in my map, sometimes, he casts alone the ice lance and frost nova, it's not being casted from the trigger, even when i used the order boss to arcane bomb or frost nova the target(I know that because i used text to show me when he cast spell, and when casting forst nova it showed me that it's the trigger of arcane bomb and vice versa), it's just itsel00,the hero, and i have no AI functions in the map. And almost never cast blizzard. The only player that has bosses spawning is player 7, so i can use that.

You don't need AI scripts/functions for the AI to cast these spells.

One solution would be to replace the abilities with Channel abilities and trigger around that.
Edit: Corrected ^this in my next post.

Another possible solution would be to make the player that controls these Bosses a non-Computer, but I'm not 100% sure about this.

Ok, so there is like no way to stop them auto-casting the spells?
Maybe if i learn and unlearn the spell when i want to use?
Like learn blizzard, order rage to blizzard area, unlearn blizzard ?

 

[Uncle]

Yes, and now that I think about it, you don't even need the Channel abilities since you're choosing when to cast.

Simply Add the ability to the Boss right before you issue the order to cast said ability, and then Remove the ability when the Boss stops casting it.

• Actions
• Unit - Add YourAbility to Boss
• Unit - Order Boss to use YourAbility

• Events
• Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
• Conditions
• Ability cast equal to one of your Boss abilities / Casting unit equal to your Boss
• Actions
• Unit - Remove (Ability being cast)
