Problem with Channel ability

[RedOrb]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if it truly is a problem with channel or not, but this is what happens:
When chasing after a fleeing unit, after having targeted it with the channel spell, my hero simply stops when getting into range. He stops chasing it and doesn't cast the spell. Does anyone know why this is?

I think that your hero already casts the spell but failed to deal effect to the target. The unit that the spell was supposed to affect simply gets out of range when your unit starts casting (even before channeling) because I think that when a unit channels a spell, It casts it first before channeling it. Try checking if the spell is on cool down after this happen.

there is also a way to allow a larger channel range than cast range, ie:
Dark Ranger's life steal requires a close range to begin casting, but continues when they are far out of cast range if already channeling.
