Help on Unit Group in Spells

12-19-2005, 07:38 PM

I tried to make a spell to bind all nearby enemy units with shackles. I put as event "A Unit - Finishes casting an ability" and it worked but i wanted to make it channeled. I changed the event to "A Unit - Starting channelling an ability" and now it binds only one unit. I tried to find the spot that the trigger stops and it stops after the invisible unit casts shackles to the picked unit. Please I know this is a very common problem... But i didn't find a solution... P.S. Sorry for my bad english :D

The trigger:

Code:

MassShackles

        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Mass Shackles 
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 800.00 of (Position of (Casting unit))) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        ((Owner of (Casting unit)) is an ally of (Owner of (Picked unit))) Equal to True
                    Then - Actions
                    Else - Actions
                        Unit - Create 1 Unit for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

                        Custom script:   call SetUnitPathing( GetLastCreatedUnit(), false )
