a dummy casting ability problem

[spirits]

hi i have read the how to make a dummy guide(http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=26751)

however i am currently trying to make a spell using a dummy. my spell is like multi shot. like in custom hero line wars more than one arrow is shot :O lol. but my spell is a channeling multishot. one that stops casting if moved or stunned.

the spell is supposed to look like the starfall ability but just the art with arrows comming off of me(its supposed to be the dummy actually shooting the arrows) i have made the dummy with the guide, but i need to know how to make it use the ability i gave it and how to stop the dummy from using the ability when my hero is stunned or dead or stops casting the ability. and well..maybe how to make sure the dummy is invul and uses the invul ability and etc

if anyone can show me how with a guide or some triggers that will be awesome!!

oh and here is my trigger so far(the llocust is my dummy)

level 6 mediation
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

(Ability being cast) Equal to Mediation (more powerful)

No guide or triggers, just a few pointers:
Is the spell MUI? That is, can multiple units use it at the same time? Or just 1 unit per player, or just 1 unit at all.
Easiest if it's just 1 unit at a time.

You can use the events Unit stops casting an ability or Unit dies to check if channeling is disrupted, and just remove the dummy if the events trigger. If it's not MUI, then assign the dummy unit to a unit variable.

Also, what's this "uses the invul ability"? Isn't it passive?

wait there is a passive invul spell :O? but how do i make my summoned locus force it to use the spells i gave it

It's not a stop channeling event,
look closely to your trigger event, it said "Stops Casting", it's not stop channeling.

Stops casting an ability is the same to stop channeling. Whatever it is, since there is not another event to call when referring to a channeling ability, stops casting is the same thing, so, no worries. You don't remove the dummy that way.

Once you create it, store it within a variable of type 'Unit'. Set Unit1 = (Last created unit).

• Events
  • A unit stops casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • Ability being cast equal to X
  • Actions
    • Unit - Kill (Unit1)

Don't use 'Remove unit', it creates some mulfunctions, as i heard of.

To kill the unit if hero is stunned, do this: Check if you have any custom buffs that refer to stun (e.g. you might have a spell called "Electro Bolt", but you use another buff, rather than "Stun (Paused)", to refer to that specific spell -because "Stun (Paused)" is the default for Storm Bolt spell). If you have made custom buffs for stun-type spells, check what they are and do this:

• Events
  • A unit starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Target unit of ability being cast) has &quot;Stunned (Paused)&quot; Equal to True
    • (Place here the other custom buffs that refer to stun-type spells - if you have any -)
  • Actions
    • Set Point1 = (Playable Map Area)
    • Set Group1 = (Units in (Units in Point1) matching (Unit-type of (Matching unit) Equal to (Your dummy unit))
    • Unit Group - Pick up every unit in Group1 and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If/ Then/ Else
          • If (Conditions)
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True (Boolean)
          • Then
            • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
          • Else
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Group1)
    • Custom cript: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)
