[Solved] Uninterrupted Casting/Channeling

[3xKataratos]

Ok... Here's my problem
When i order units/bosses in my map to do a channeling or a spell with casting time and during that time a player attacks triggering unit ,Unit stops and attacks the attacking unit.
-I tried setting acquisition range to 0 while casting but didnt work.
-I end up making triggering unit invulnerable but thats not the result i realy want.

Please help!

You must pause the caster unit when he starts casting the spell.

• Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)

You are talking about the casting time period ?
What about a channeling spell like Aerial Shackles ?

It's simple. Just pause the caster unit at the beginning of the spell using above trigger and unpause him at the end of the spell.

What about a channeling spell like Aerial Shackles ?

In the channeling spells, the caster doesn't move when someone attacks him. But you can move him yourself, at this time he stops casting/looping the spell. However, you can pause him if you want (Using above trigger) and then unpause him.

-Yeah... i get it about the casting time. Thnx
-I did some test every time the mob stops Aerial Shackles when attacked though

Why?

 

[3xKataratos]

Dont know

 

[PrinceYaser]

So, is the problem fixed now?

 

[3xKataratos]

No ... The Abomination Unit starts the Aerial Shackles spell but the moment other Units attacks, it starts running away...The only triggers applying to it is the one i sent you above and another one [Abomination 2] that checks if target unit of ability been cast has a buff if it does it heals abomination.

 

[PrinceYaser]

So, just add a pause trigger at the beginning of that trigger you sent. Then, when the Abomination ends casting the spell, add an unpause trigger.

Aerial shackles has no casting time its a channeling spell...That's what i am asking why the unit stops channeling and how can i fix it without making unit inv.?

 

[axleion]

you might have other trigger that do something with that behavior (issue order to attack when attacked), doesn't have to be specifically that Abomination, might be generic unit related.

other workaround would be having your Abomination cast a custom Channel that disable other abilities and having follow through time matching the duration, and then having dummy unit perform the actual spell.

I created a new map to test your theory about another trigger but the same thing happened -Unit started Aerial shackles but when attacked run away-
Triggering the spell with a dummy... yeah could work
