I started this hero about 3 weeks ago, planning on creating a full detailed hero which included a skin, all custom ability icons and a unique storyline. The idea got boring after the first week and I slowly progressed doing bits and pieces every few days or so. I'm releasing it now because i really can't be bothered trying to finish it off.
I guess this is more of a 'spell pack'. It contains a spell book with 3 time locking spells and a resistance spell which grants a form of immunity to the time lock spells.
Screenshots are kind of a bit useless since they are kind of instant.
Credits go to Tinki3 for template and Flare for MUI with GUI tutorial.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Implementation
To implement you must copy all variables, abilities, buffs, dummy, units and sounds for the triggers to function properly.
All Abilties/Variables/etc used are listed in the Trigger Comment window of each trigger used.
The above implementation are instructions for implementing the spells, as it is.
Modification of the abilities in the object editor as well as the trigger editor may be needed because the time lock spells only have 1 level and are contained in 1 spellbook. Modification is also needed to make the time lock spells standalone.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Known bugs (which I am either too lazy to fix, or don't know how)
-If a unit is time locked whilst already time locked, Whichever duration reaches 0 first will unfreeze the unit.
-Time Lock (radius) mui-ness is quite buggy and not fully mui. Sometimes iits mui sometimes its not, don't ask why.
Spells
Time Lock (Single)
Time Lock (Area)
Time Lock (Radius)

Update!
-Used the conditions suggested by flare.
-fixed some coding on the Time Lock Single spell.
