Quick Unit Select Ability

I'm trying to have an ability that will select any unit on the map and when you select that unit, it dies.

the trick is, i want that ability to be instant.

Ive tried some abilities such as death coil and storm bolt but they take too long-.-

Then i tried using Shop Purchase. It works very very nicely. The issue is, with shop purchase, when you right click on a unit, it tries to "Select User" that unit instead of move to it.

Does anyone know of a fast cast ability that requires a target that does not interrupt the normal functionality of the casting unit?

replies are greatly appreciated

Uh change the missile speed on death coil/storm bolt to 99999.? (or 0 if that works for instant)

its not the instant killing

its the instant casting....

this is for sheep tag. sheep cannot wait to cast coil to kill a farm then go build more farms. it cannot work that way

i need to find an ability that is instant in the interruption so the sheep can continue with its other shit.

I maby dont understand this right, but berserk and Channel has instant cast if it is that you want.

Just change the unit's cast point and backswing to 0.

Yes, you can add cast times to them though, although it will look ugly.

Alternatively, you can use triggers to create a dummy unit that casts it on "Unit starts casting an ability" with no backswing and cast point using, say Channel, as a base.
