Referencing the Generic unit that "Acquires a target"?

How do i find the unit that "acquires a target" when i have one trigger added to the event of another trigger of:



In the other trigger that goes off, due to this event that i've added, I noticed that all functions referencing the "triggering unit" do not work.. what else can I use to reference this unit to work with functions?

----
If this cannot be done.. let me tell you my objective and maybe you know of a work-around.

I'm trying to make a unit only attack once.. but then after i order him to "attack once" i notice that he then acquires a target and attacks more.. i've even tried giving him 0 range on his acquiring target range through triggers but it doesn't seem to matter. And the unit has an expiration time of 2 seconds, giving him time to make his attack.. then disapears.

but within that time-frame he manages to get more attacks off, and that is a problem. so since i know that with any attacks beyond the first he must be acquiring a target, that is the reason for that other trigger.. so that i can stop/pause or remove the unit or do whatever i want with him to prevent further attacks.

Any clues?


-----update---------

uh, nevermind. it's working now for some reason. i dont understand.. i simply added a condition when there wasn't one before checking that the triggering unit was alive before running.. and now it runs? lol
this makes no sense.

If all you want to do is have a dummy unit attack the target once, why not just give some ridiculously high cooldown to it?

Spreading a specific unit event in a bad way is rather excessive for this sort of thing.
