I want to make a skill similar to the breath of fire/drunken haze skill, but instead of just hurting the affected units I want to freeze them in place. I was wonder, how can I do this using the pause triggers? Thanks in advance for any help!

There's no way to detect with triggers when a unit has been caught on fire by the drunken haze / breath of fire combo. As far as I know...

You could do something Similar... like have one trigger that runs when the unit casts a dummy ability that creates an AOE and adds units to an array of "freezable" units, then another trigger that runs on a different dummy ability that creates another AOE and pauses units.

ok, would it look something like this:

Events: A unit begins casting an ability

Conditions: Ability being cast is equal to Drunken Haze

Actions: Add attacked unit to Freeze

Freeze being a unit group

or am i totally off?

Someone made a suggestion to me that might help you, though I couldn't work with it personally.

You can manipulate the "Silence" ability to prevent any action from the targeted units (magic, movement, attack) by changing the options in the object editor. So having a dummy unit cast that on the units in your area of effect would stop them from doing anything.

Like I said I couldn't work with it, because I'm not familiar enough with editing abilites - so that's about all I can offer.

EDIT: MaliceDR was who made the suggestion

That sounds cool, but I ony want the targeted units frozen by breath of frost when they are affected by drunken haze. I'm not 100% sure how I could make that work...
