    I want to have an ability, that let's the caster channel for up to 10 seconds, launching an effect every 0.25 second. If the caster stops/moves while channeling, the effect will stop.

    I assume it's pretty simple, but how do I do it?

    Ability type: Effect Instant/Target -> Create Persistent effect (phase 0.25, period count 10/0.25=40) -> add entry to Periodic Effect field

    (if you only add 1 effect that one is executed every period; if you have just as many entries for Phase and Periodic Effect they are matched by their index; in other cases I don't know what happens)

    @Photoloss: Go

    32 is the max and it keeps doing the last one.

    Considered easy altering of the unit textures?

    Yeah, did this already, but the effect does not stop when I stop channeling :| How can I make it stop when I stop channeling?

    @DrSuperEvil: Go

    Do you mean that the max Period Count is 32?

    Add the Channeled flag to the persistent effect.

    No max number of periodic offsets and effects is 32.
