[General] Why so slow?

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey,

I have created a dummy ability from "Channel". Whenever I press the button, it takes like 1 second until it's cast. Other abilities do it like instantly. How to make it like the other abilities?

I guess it's the animation, that is required first to play. Even if I put it to "stand" there's that short time. How can I make the ability act instantly? I just want to use the Channel ability.

I've attached the map I'm currently working on.

Set the "casting time" of the ability to 0. You may also set the "casting point"
of the casting unit to 0.

Casting time is already 0 so it's strange. I want the ability be instant so no targets or points.

Casting unit's cast backswing set to 0?

It's not more than with other normal abilities (you currently only have the unit's cast point) but your Magic Bonus ability bases on Berserk and that one does not use the cast point. Berserk is the special one here.

Channel is delayed by unit's Art - Cast Point field.

Unit starts the effect of channel => Art - Cast Point delay => Data - Follow Through Time

For example if you want the spell to play e.g. Spell animation of the caster only once, then:
1) Find how long does the animation take (let's say it takes 1,5 seconds)
2) Find that unit's Art - Cast Point value in object editor (let's say this field has value 0,3)
3) Set Data - Follow Through time to (1,5 - 0,3) => to 1,2.
