Ability events (was: 2 questions)

[zyzfcs]

are they all different? if they r can some 1 explain the differences plz?

Unit - A unit owned by Player  Begins casting an ability

Unit - A unit owned by Player  Starts the effect of an ability

Unit - A unit owned by Player  Begins channeling an ability

Begins casting: click on your spell, click on a target, you may still cancel it
Starts the effect: you've actually hit the target, mana is gone, cooldown starts
Stops casting: it's done, you may now do whatever else you want

Begins channeling and Finishes casting only apply to channeled abilities.
(There's also a starts the effect of inbetween).


My recommendation would be to use as much as possible "Starts the effect".

The

Unit - begins casting an ability

fires when the ability button is pressed. It is a nice way to give a warning before somebody uses a targeted ability.

The

Unit - begins the effect of an ability

fires when the ability has begun it's effect. Use this one!

The

Unit - begins channeling an ability

fires when when somebody starts to channel an ability.

Hopefully this will help.
