Detecting when a unit stops channeling

Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
...

 

[kingkwong92]

Doesn't work.
I have a sliding trigger.
I start sliding when I start channeling and stop when I stop channeling. But when I stop channeling I keep sliding.

Unit stops casting an ability
ability being cast equal to slide
remove unit from slide_group

 

[Weep]

Works for me...

What spell is is based on?

 

[kingkwong92]

channel
every 0.05 seconds
pick every unit in slide_group
move picked unit

unit stops casting
ability equal to slide
remove unit from slide_group

 

[Weep]

Same for me. Double-check your trigger?

[Weep]

Odd, I don't see anything there that would make it not work. It works fine for me...

 

[kingkwong92]

Doesn't work for mine.
I disabled the ability after the stop casting instead of before but that still doesn't work.
Removing it from the unit_group shpould work but it doesn't

My spell is in a spellbook. Does this affect it somehow

EDIT!! Solved

 

[Naga'sShadow]

Something you should know using set unit position causes it to stop. So this could be an issue for you. If this turns out to be the case use the custom script SetUnitX() and SetUnitY(). These don't interrupt a unit's current order. You will have to store the X and the Y values and do the math yourself but a line isn't that difficult.

Another thing, rather than checking to see if a unit finished casting you can check what the caster's current order is. Compare the order sting of your spell with the units current order string and then you'll know when it stops. You can add that into your movement trigger rather than have another one.

 

[kingkwong92]

I know my trigger is huge so no one will read it but I have used custom script so that it doesn't stop the order.

Could youu please explain how do do the comparison of order IDs?
