MercyfulJester	"(Matching (Neutral hostile controller) equal to User)" That's just weird. Shouldn't it be something like (Owner of (Picked Unit) equal to (Neutral Hostile))? Edit: and I think that once the 15 seconds has passed, only one of those units will be able to move.

BuRnInSpartan	no for some reason all of the enemy units are marked with the special effect and if goes away after 15 seconds but i just can't get them to freeze.

MercyfulJester	Then I'd guess the problem lies with the set movement speed to 0.00. You could try to set it to 0.01 or pause those units or something.

BuRnInSpartan	yes pausing them would work i guess. thanks i'll give it a try

Jacek	Stun'em with 0 dmg storm bolt

BuRnInSpartan	yea pausing them didn't work either.. in order to stun them don't i need to make a dummy and have it cast storm bolt on them? + would this stun all of the units in that group?

BuRnInSpartan	hmmm now it seems that my first cast of frost nova will pause them but if i go up to a new mob they don't get frozen

Anopob	Crap, lag.

BuRnInSpartan	#1 what are you talking about? #2 if you are using my spell it's probably because you have a "crap" computer (128MB) because my old computer ran it fine with 256

Anopob	If you're referring to me, uh... Okay first of all I was going to say something, but then something happend to my connection or something and then it came out messed up. Also, I didn't see the like 5 above posters, so my post was pretty much pointless.

BuRnInSpartan	<<bump>> i still need this complete any other ideas?

Captain Griffen	Waits in loops are a bad idea. You'll probably need JASS to make this MUI.

BuRnInSpartan	hmm i'm not all that good with JASS

Captain Griffen

Here are the actions you need (in jass):

JASS:

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

function I2U takes integer i returns unit
    return i
    return null
endfunction

function I2E takes integer i returns effect
    return i
    return null
endfunction

function I2T takes integer i returns timer
    return i
    return null
endfunction


function Frost_Nova_End takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = H2I(GetExpiredTimer())
    local unit u = I2U(GetStoredInteger(udg_gc, I2S(i), "unit"))
    call DestroyEffect(I2E(GetStoredInteger(udg_gc, I2S(i), "effect")))
    call SetUnitMoveSpeed(u, GetUnitDefaultMoveSpeed(u))
    call DestroyTimer(GetExpiredTimer())
    call FlushStoredMission(udg_gc, I2S(i))
    set u = null
endfunction

function Frost_Nova_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local group g = CreateGroup()
    local integer i
    local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
    if udg_gc == null then
        call InitGameCache("jass.w3v")
    endif
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g, GetUnitX(u), GetUnitY(u), 650, null)
    loop
        set u = FirstOfGroup(g)
        exitwhen u == null
        if //No idea what that condition you have is, but put it here (someone help// then
            set i = H2I(CreateTimer())
            call StoreInteger(udg_gc, I2S(i), "unit", H2I(u))
            call StoreInteger(udg_gc, I2S(i), "effect", H2I(AddSpecialEffectTarget("Abilities\\Spells\\Undead\\FrostNova\\FrostNovaTarget.mdl", u, "origin")))
            call TimerStart(I2T(i), 15, false, function Frost_Nova_End)
            call SetUnitMoveSpeed(u, 0) // NB: This will only work if minimum speed under gameplay constants is 0, I think.
        endif
        call GroupRemoveUnit(g, u)
    endloop
    call DestroyGroup(g)
    set g = null
    set u = null
endfunction
