Mass Entangling roots - delay?

[X-maul]

I got this spell, which should be pretty simple, but for some reason there is a little wait on 0.8-1 sec before the entangling roots is getting casted?

• Roots Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Druid - Roots
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set TempGroup = (Units within 200.00 of TempPoint)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • And - All (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • ((Picked unit) is A structure) Not equal to True
                • ((Picked unit) is A ground unit) Equal to True
                • ((Owner of (Picked unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Caster for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
            • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
            • Unit - Turn collision for (Last created unit) Off
            • Unit - Add Dummy Spell: Roots to (Last created unit)
            • Unit - Set level of Dummy Spell: Roots for (Triggering unit) to (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit))
            • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

The spell works fine, it's just the delay i want to remove.

There is no cast time on dummy spell, and cast and "Art - Animation - Cast Backswing" is set to 0 on dummy unit.

Side note: Can't you add Locust to your dummy via Unit Editor instead of turning off collision via triggers?

Maybe it's the cast range on your dummy roots, and the dummies have to move up closer to their respective targets.

My guess is that oyu have missed to set casting point to zero on your dummy unit.

Take a look at the whisp and see his animation settings.

He already addressed that.

Maybe it has to turn to face the target, or is the delay exactly equal for each target? Read on:

It is possible if your dummy unit has a move speed of 0 - that way it will cast instantly, without having to turn.

Lol :b might have been the turn rate, setting movement speed to 0 helped thank you:thup:
