How to get buffs to appear instantaneously

I have dummy units applying buffs via spells (such as using acid bomb, storm bolt, etc as the spell base), but there is a delay in applying them associated with the time to cast the spell. How would I get around this?

Make sure that the dummy casters...
  • ... are directly on top of their target or have 0 movement speed.
  • ... have no casting point and no cast backswing time.

Thanks a whole lot. I've been trying to figure this out for a long time.

You should also remove 'Amov' from all Dummy casters, this allows them to instantly cast the spell (coupled with 0.00 cast points) at a target at any angle.

Where is that in the object editor?

It's not.

call UnitRemoveAbility(someunit, 'Amov')
