the dummy unit has a custom tranquility, all duration in the ability is set to well over 60 seconds which is the generic life duration of the tree dummy. but when they are told to cast, they cast it. but only for 8 seconds or so and not the full 60 second duration.

Neutral Hostile tend to be stubborn at times and like to do their own stuff without your consent . They're controlled by the computer AI. So probably they are ordered to do some other things before the designated casting duration ends.

Do they have locust, invul and no attack at all?

 

[Jooster]

no they dont have any other abilities. just tranquility. the reason for that is they heal a boss and in order for the boss to not get to full health is to kill them before so...

 

[Beetlebomb]

So they are visible dummies?

If you're not using a full game, could you always just set the dummy to player brown and ally him with the boss if there's a neutral hostile problem.

gl,

it's a full game 6v6 style. im also having this same sort of problems telling a dummy unit to cast chain lighting

Neutral Hostile tend to be stubborn at times and like to do their own stuff without your consent . They're controlled by the computer AI. So probably they are ordered to do some other things before the designated casting duration ends.

how exactly would i go about turning that AI off, or is it possible to do so?

 

[Beetlebomb]

I don't believe it's possible to turn that AI off. It's built into Warcraft 3(hardwired). Dummies tend to do those sort of things. I'm sorry I can't be of more help because my knowledge of dummies is not quite far from yours.

I'd suggest fiddling around with it. I can usually get it to work by doing that.

Good luck,

Beetlebomb

Pausing a unit makes it take no further orders. Try ordering the dummy unit to cast tranquility or chain lightning and immediately pausing it with a trigger.

 

[Jooster]

so, by ordering it to cast then pausing it wont interupt the tranquility already casting? i will try that and edit my post once im done.

*edit* no pausing them did just what i would suspected it to do. they just stood their paused =P
