Coding problem

How may I disable (or alter) the execution of a standard spell like web, when "auto-cast" is enabled?

I want to rewrite the way of execution via JASS, but as the unit casts it' spell automatically, pointing out a target by itself, my code is beíng overridden.

try using a spell like ensnare?

i dont think you can detect AI casts vs normal casts

How may I alter the spell "ensnare", so that the player can activate "auto-cast" for it?
With that shiny golden light rotating around the button?

And you got me wrong:
I do not want to detect AI casts.
I want to disable AI casts.

But only for this certain spell.

if you want to DISABLE them, then use a spell like ensnare that DOES NOT have auto-cast =)

even better, use a spell like "channel" that doesnt do anything, so the AI refuses to use it, then use triggers to make the proper spell to be cast by a dummy

I have to work over my language. Nobody understands me. ^^

I want the spell to look like it whould be auto-casted!
With a button that can be right-clicked to make that little light appear or disappear.

I can catch the activation/deactivation-string and write an auto-cast function by myself, but I need the normal auto-cast function to be disabled!

Make some nothing-doing autocast spell. Then make trigger triggered by ability being cast and then use a dummy and cast that spell you want on target of ability being cast

NOTE: that nothing-doing ability shall have duration 0.01

So far...
But how may I realize, that the player can still left-click on the button and select a target manually?

I can catch the issued order with ease, but how to use the pure "click-on-button" event?
As "heal" cannot be cast on healthy units and "inner fire" whould be auto-casted in fights as well as "bloodlust"...

... May it work to use an "arrow" ability like "incinerate arrow" or "cold arrow"?
I could make it be castable only on friendly units but the unit whould not really attack it's allies, whould it?

It looks like that is it... I hope it is.

If you remake any of that abilities to do nothing, that will work same if it will be autocasted as if you target manually

and when working with "dummy" autocast abilities, you must remember that each one takes its own activation event

Eg. Heal -> a nearby valid target is at < Max Life

Eg. Bloodlust -> A nearby friendly Unit is attacked

Eg. Web -> A valid target enters cast range

and so on...

It works with "flaming arrows".
There is no activation event for friendly units. ^^

Thanks for thinking over it.
