Units with 0 movement speed cannot cast spells?

Problem: Units with 0 movement speed cannot cast spells!

Hey there forums!
I am making an ability called "Corrupted Lightning Totem". The hero drops a totem (kind of like healing ward, stasis trap etc.) that will cast chain lightning on a nearby unit every 3 seconds. All triggers are done and working, BUT, if I set the totem unit's movement speed to 0 in the object editor, it can't cast spells properly.
It takes about 20 seconds from pressing the chain lightning button and a desired target to the Totem actually manages to cast the spell. I tested setting the movement speed to 50 and then it could cast just fine. However, a totem being a wooden object (like a healing Ward, as I said) it is not supposed to be able to move around, it looks pretty ridicolous if the totem tries to run away when someone attacks it!

How can I solve this?

(Clarification, I want a totem unit that cannot move around but can cast chain lightning every 3 seconds without any strange delays)

make it so they can't target wards? idk sorry dude

try to set totem speed to 1 or try disable movement speed via triggers.Or there is 1 alternative method, set dummy around ward so he can't move.

Players need to be able to kill it

Set 'movement type' to NONE?

 

[XeNiM666]

set casting range to 99999?

movement speed to 0.01?

idk.... sorry

haha I think I've gone through the same trifle.
Model the totem unit after healward/static trap etc, but under Unit Classification un-click "Ward." Think that should do the trick.

try using movement to 0.01, and or casting range to 999999. It shld work

I can only think of one thing..

It has no turning speed, or the spell just seems to have a short range..

EDIT: Make that 2 things XD
