UPDATED AND FIXED SOME BUGS
Here is the new test map, to start a bar press escape. Youll have to manually change the color in the test trigger

UPDATED AND FIXED SOME BUGS
JASS:
/*TheLegends Solid Bar system*/
//The system needs NewGen only
/*Features*/
//-By using call SolidBar_barcreate(unit,time,color) the user can create timed bars to represent the channel time,
// cast time, build time and much nore in no time and leakless. unit- you can refer to any unit. time- just
// not smaller than 0.1. colors are red, green, blue, black and white
//-Designed to work for multiple units, players and timed stuff
//-The bar is attached to the unit so it moves with it
//-The bars that represent channeled spells and spell cast time will be removed if the unit moves (green and red)
//-The bar is solid
//-The system doesnt leak anything
// IN THE TEST VERSION USE ESCAPE TO START A RANDOM BAR
// IMPLEMENTATION - JUST THIS INTO YOUR MAP
