Old Q on Autocast=Turn Off

It's been asked before, and the answer came back "Gee, I hope we can turn off auto-cast when the TFT WE comes out".

Is it possible to turn off auto-cast for a given spell in the most recent world editor? I've tried taking the orderon/orderoff commands away, to no avail (I wonder what they are used for then?). To I have to also remove them in the .slk? Is there something I'm missing? Is it impossible and am I just wasting my time?

As always, thanks in advance...

I have NOT tested this, and I'm not sure if it will work.

You can try to snap up the order used to turn autocast on(A unit is issued an order with no target), then, issue the off order(Unit - Issue an order with no target -> Deactivate xxx(if it's a custom spell, use the spell it's based on)).

As I said, I'm not sure if this will work, but. Also, the graphics will probably still be there(The yellow border in the corners).

I tried and tried with editor to remove autocast (and to add it to other spells) with no success.

I do not believe it is possible to turn off auto cast. The only way around it is to create a custom ability like the ability you want with the default type not an auto-cast ability. Then change the name to the spell you want.
