spell question

is there a spell that doesnt make the caster do his/her spell animation? I need a spell that doesnt do anything. im using it just for the "hotkey". so u can have a trigger that begins is you press X or something.

or is there a way to stop the unit from doint its spell animation when casting a spell?

If you remove the Spell amimation from the unit's model then it won't do its spell animation while casting. You need to edit the .mdl for that. Unfortunately this will affect the casting of all spells.

just make a trigger saying
When unit casts ability
stop animation


or sth

doesn't work.

ya i tried that it doesnt work... damn so there is abselutly no way of doing it withought deleting the spell casting animation completely?

and does anyone know what spell is the best spell to use if you want it to do nothing at all and be the kind of spell that can be activated with a hotkey?

Roar with no duration, 0 AoE, no stat bonuses. If you don't want that then try Thunder Clap with the same stuff or War Stomp.

Roar makes that paw over your head though.. Does it not do that if you make the duration like .01 seconds?

i'm not sure. might be better to use War Stomp or Thunder Clap as I know it works.
