Silence as autocast spell

[Zpajro]

Hi
I need help with making the silence spell into a auto cast spell and I need it to be single target, like slow.

Here is that I come up with:

Silence spell
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Silence
Actions
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Resurrect\ResurrectTarget.mdl
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)
Wait 0.25 seconds
Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Target unit of ability being cast)

As it is now it only do the special effect, nothing else hands.

What are you expecting to happen?

What I really want is to get the efect thet silence do. But I did not think of any way to do it so I tried to think of any other way that does roughly the same thing. What I expect to happen with the trigger is that it will get target's abilities to reload. And then I want, no matter how fast the target's abilities reloads, that the target will not be able to throw any abilities for at least 5 seconds. It is designed to be an anti Priest spell.

After discussing with a person IRL, I have come to why it is not working as I want it to, the code after the special effect is then incorrect and should be removed.
But how do I get the effect I want??

Create a copy of the silence spell with a very small area of effect. Whenever your spell is cast, create a dummy unit, give it that ability, and order it to cast it on the target.

 

[Zpajro]

Ok, thanks.
Would it be too much to ask for an explanation on how to create a dummy unit, or a link to one?

 

[jonas]

Yes.

I'll post anyway something that I found on google, but only because the first posters were AceHart and phyrex1an, some of the only sane people this forum ever had.

How can somebody "disagree" with me taking offense. Its not like you have any say in what I can take offense in or not.
