I have a problem, I need to detect when a spell is casted before it is completely casted(it has a Casting Time) Can you help me with this("Unit Begins casting an ability" doesn't work)??? |

Unit is issued an order targeting a unit would work, but I think what you're asking for is right at the beginning right before the effect, but after you have started "channeling" (kinda) to cast the spell where your hero is frozen passing the time before the actual spell. I would think that begins casting an ability would work. If you need stuff to happen right when the order is given use order, otherwise I don't really know. Hope this helps :) |

Unit begins casting an ability DOESN'T ****IN WORK And I need to do it when the hero begins is ordered it, but he must be in range and stuff If you didn't notice, you can add "Casting Time" to abilities, which makes the caster "channel" and after, cast the spell The reason why I need this, is because I made a "special" hero, which use runes to cast, not mana. He is quite complicated, as will all my hero be for my map(an AoS) |

Can describe it a little a better? It seems like you could set the spell's mana cost, range, and effected units, but make it do nothing else, like a dummy spell. Then use triggers to do the rest, but maybe I'm mis-interpreting your problem... |

First off, calm down. We're only here to help and there's no cause to be annoyed. Secondly, did you try "begins channeling an ability"? If that doesn't work, I can do some quick tests to find a solution for ya. |

First, LEARN TO READ Second, Didn't you ever notice a "Castign Time " field in the ability editors, this is the time before a hero actually cast a spell, like Flamestrike, if you order it, but make the BloodMage move before it is completely casted, the spell is missed NEXT TIME SOMEONE TELL ME TO "UNIT BEGINS CASTING AN ABILITY" I KILL HIM I'm no goddamn ****in n00b, if you don't know what I mean by casting time, then you wont be able to help me. *Calms down* |

And again, I'll state, did you try "begins channeling an ability" -- it's not the same as "begins casting an ability" |
