Have you tried changing the dummy's model to see if it actually casts for the entire 6 waves, without dying or moving away sometime in between? That might shed some light on whether it's an AI, Object Editor or trigger-related problem.

Also, Locust usually renders the unit invulnerable to any other spell (unless, of course, you manually remove it with a trigger).

Yeah, I already tried that, and the dummy actually does nothing after cast the first wave, it just stands there... Also I have set the acquisition range and movement speed to 0.00/0 to make sure the dummy doesn't go anywhere or tries to engage other enemies...

It isn't hard to test to see if it's AI issue or not. You add your dummy into the map and manually make it cast the spell. If it casts without any problems, then it's AI issue. If it doesn't then it's something else.

Oh. Try to set the acquisition range to a large number. Fx. 5000.
Set: Combat - Attacks Enabled = NONE
Set: Stats - Can Flee = False

I'm also fairly sure the dummy unit MUST be able to see the target location if a channel ability is to work.

Think so too. The area should be visible.
My advice is to spawn the dummy unit at the target location for the spell and give it a sight range of at least 350.

Why the acquisition range has to be so big, isn't that make the dummy will engage every enemy in 5000 range(if attack enabled is set to one of available attack (1/2), but my dummy's attack enabled has already set to None)...? Meanwhile, if you want to channel a spell the caster should not move to engage any other enemies, or it will cancel the channels...

Yes, the dummy has 800 range of sight (day n night)...

Now, just forget it, it already work...
I simply delete all the triggers, variables, dummy unit, and the spell itself, then start it again from the start all over again with the same method and it completely work, even though I don't know why...
Maybe what vypur said was right, it happens in random, and lucky for them who never get this problem...

Glad it works for you.

To answer your question in the quote.
Sometimes (can't remember when) a unit will not cast spells beyond it's acquisition range.
And when you have disabled both attacks it will never (and can't) try to move to, or track down, an enemy unit.

It's best to be safe. Just make it invulnerable, what's the issue? WC3 has a lot of situation combinations.

EDIT: I was referring to the locust & invulnerable question.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats

    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
