spell casting on the move

I can't find any spell that can be casted while the casting unit is moving.

Any ideas how I can make a spell that i can cast while the casting unit is moving?


Btw, the spell I'm making is an AOE spell that causes damage to units in the area around the caster.

Closest to the effect is the scroll of speed. But the unit stops for a little, good news is that the unit does not forget the current order.

Probably if you make casting time and backswing point / stuff like that / really low it could kind of work out

My idea is to use Demon Hunter's Immolation... Seems that only this kind of abilities can be cast when moving. But later you have to use trigger to deactivate it.

Well scroll of speed didn't work right.
sure the unit remembers its current orders but it stops moving to cast.

Immolation works except it has a buff. sadly there is no way to remove that buff from the spell.

For the buff: Did not really understand you, try these two, use "Unit - Remove specific buff", or set "Stats - Buff" of immolation to nothing. But if it doesn't work, 'think you could look for something in the Azeroth Grand Prix map, the vehicles had an ability called "Blizzard" which did not stop them but damaged enemies around.

Blizzard from that map is based off of channel. I copied the spell over and tried it but the unit stops completly.

In one thread that I couldn't find, one user uses the Ability "Replenish Mana and Life" (Ambt) as a dummy ability that works while the unit moves.

I can't have it be an auto-cast spell.

This spell is an instant cast spell that is meant to be used on the move. also it has no cooldown.

The spell is perfect for doing a suicide run into a group of enemies while spamming this spell.
Which will do lots of damage.

Windwalk. Set fade time to -1, duration to 0.01.

Yea, use Blu's or Divine Shield.
Then trigger the AoE.

berserk, bitches. Least side-effects, castable on-the-fly.

Trolls' Berserk? Defend? Magic Shield? Mana shield? Then use triggers to filter nearby units....

defend = no becouse its basically a morph ability.
same for magic shield.
mana shield is turn on/off.

Really, the best option is berserk.

I would say berserk, but defend is not really a morph ability, the problem is that it has disable button

yeah thats kinda what i meant ^^

and it will trigger alternate animations. Allthough you can ofcourse disable this, its still annoying if the model has alternates and you forget to toggle it off.
