Shadow Strike Question (Cast time)

Guest
I am trying to make an ability that does damage per second and has initial damage. All I could think of was ShadowStrike, however for some odd reason I can't get shadow strike to use it's casting time properly. It always just casts instantly.

If:
You have a suggestion for a different ability or method to do this, plz tell me
or
You know how to fix the casting time on ShadowStrike. PLZ tell me :)
 
Casting time? what r you talking about you mean how long it takes to cast the spell?
Its under a section that says casting time-0.00 change it if you want the unit to not cast it instantaneously (it not channeling though i think)

I know how to do that, but for some reason ShadowStrike Instantly casts the spell then waits.
If I set cast time to 5:
As soon as I click on a unit to cast the spell the spell fires, then my unit sits around for 5 seconds...then my triggers that take effect after the spell has been casted trigger.
 
Ok, i think i can help you cheat it lol
make a trigger
Event- A unit begins casting a spell
Condition- ability equal to shadow strike
Action-
pause triggering unit (disired wait time)
unpause triggering unit

This should work but itll make the spelll unable to be interrupted i think
 
Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Shadow Strike
Actions
Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop
Wait 2.00 game-time seconds
Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Night Elf Warden - Shadow Strike (Target unit of ability being cast)
 
Im just wondering, wont that shadow strike twice? because stop still stores the command it was given before the stop so...?
 
Close 56k, but the effect will kick in. Loop it like so:

Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Shadow Strike
Actions
Pause (Casting Unit)
Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop
Unpause (Casting Unit)
Wait 2.00 game-time seconds
Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Night Elf Warden - Shadow Strike (Target unit of ability being cast)

Stopping won't do much, Pause/ Stopping / Unpausing will completely stop the unit from doing anything, even if they are in mist of casting something. If you stop them, they will stop but the ability will still be cast.

    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it

    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'

    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts
  • jonas jonas:
    :p
  • jonas jonas:
    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales

    That's an arbitrary number. It could be whatever you want, really. Though one wonders what the use case is for uploading giant files to a forum these days.

    I should have asked elsewhere but i wanted vsnes to see he is trying to upload a pic no big deal it can stay where it is.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    That was a fun trip. Next time I am going to get some kind of water thing like a kayak or something to boat out n the lake, maybe get a place with a pier on it.
