[SOLVED]Channel spell wont show up ingame

No matter WHAT I do to make it so that the button for it will show up on my unit's ability selection, reset the x/y values to 2, whatever. This damn thing won't show up and I wanna know what the hell WILL make it show up IF it can show up! I've tried everything in the book and im pissed.

LAIK OMGZ IT WORK'D!! =D

ty so much! +rep!!

 

[nerovesper]

another tip for the channel ability. if you want it to have an Area of Effect circle, enable targeting image. you can set the size on the area of effect setting.

 

[idodik]

Targeting image isn't reliable, when I use that it makes my mouse vanish with no image at all.
Conclusion: If you want to make an AOE spell, base it on Channel you must not.

 

[DragoonZombie]

Maybe you didn't set the Area of Effect?

 

[idodik]

Yes I did. And it was very weird.

 

[nerovesper]

yes, it disappears if the area of effect is 0. Channel is the best dummy ability there is because it gives a lot of opportunities because it allows you to change the I.D.
You just don't know how to use it...

You need to know more about it before saying it isn't reliable.

Using Blizzard or Healing Wards as an AoE dummy is what I generally use.

well with that you can only have one of that ability but channel lets you place multiple of that skill just by changing the order ID.....

 

[Damage]

There's Rain of Fire, Reign of Chaos, Inferno...

And really, if you need more after that, you're mad.

 

[nerovesper]

Channel spell is still the best dummy ability. If you know the OMG version of the game DOTA, you'll see how that spell is useful.

then how about all 11 spells in a spellbook that are AOE and triggered?
