Yet another question (this time with silence)

I want to make a spell based off silence that will freeze units in their place, much like the pause command. Is there a way I can do this without triggers? If not, what trigger do I use to make this work?

First person to get it gets 30 points!

Try using earthquake make it do no damage, and make its movement reduction/movement reduction to 100%

But wouldn't you have to channel that spell? Is there a way to make it so you don't have to?

TRIGGARS!!!

E- Unit is issued an order targeting a point
C- Spell equal to (silence)
A- Pause all units not alligned with caster within 300 of targeted point
A- Wait (x) seconds
A- Unpause all units not alligned with caster within 300 of targeted point

That looks right, let me test it out really quick.

That will bug if you do it 2 times within x seconds tho.

[edit] Use Frost nova instead. It will work as long as you dont need to use any freezing spells in your map. (change game constants for this effect)

I'm a little bit confused about the action. Which action do I want? I can't seem to find the one you used.

EDIT: Should I just use custom script?

You can't use Ability comparison for an issued order Event, so that wouldn't work anyway. I'm trying to figure it out now, I'm sure it's relatively easy.

Cool, thanks. I think i'll up the bonus to 40 points.
