[GUI] Spell problem

Sup everyone. I'm having a problem with my trigger enhanced spells. I'll give you an example. I'm creating a spell that creates 36 dummy units in a circle around the caster. These dummy's then cast a spell based off of chain lightning, just for the effect (it having no damage etc and only 1 target), at the caster so it looks lke he's draining electricity from the dummy's. The problem comes in when the units are meant to cast the ability. They all spawn fine...


This is just an example of a spell so it doesn't get any further than this. I figured I'd better sort this out before I move on. thanks for any help in advance.

there is no problem with code...

expect set level to 1, this string useless.

then I've got no clue whats wrong with this spell. I've tried plenty of other spells using the dummy casting and set it up just like this and they all don't work :-| Depressing. Could anything else be preventing it that I might have overlooked?

post demomap.

it looks like "forgot to null manacost or set proper targets for dummy spell"

Does the dummy have mana, or does the spell need mana to be casted? Maybe the spell needs mana and your dummies doesn't have any.

Well heres a demo map. Its not the mana because the dummy unit has 1000 mana and the spell requires 0 mana. I have no idea what could be wrong with the properties of the ability or the dummy. I've checked a couple of times.
Might have missed something.

This line doesn't make any sense:
It should be:

looks like you are using UMSWE...

check comments for functions next time.

orders takes orders, not spell names.

Sorry that was a mistake on my part. Its changed in the demo map and it still won't work pyrogasm.
I'm using WeU. Is it not possible to use "unit - issue order targetting a unit (takes string)" and then pick ability name. This way you can set it to cast a custom ability... Like I've done.

If not how would I go about ordering the dummy unit to cast a custom spell.

there is list of all orderstring in GUI...

so the way I'm understanding this is that the only way to order a dummy unit to cast an abiltiy, custom or not, is to use those preset order strings? that sucks. So in order for me to order the dummy to cast my custom chain lightning derivative i would have to give it the chain lightning order ID for example and then select the orc - chain lightning preset?

all spells based of chain lightning cast by "chainlightning" order.

this is simple.

It may be simple but it confuses me.

Just tested it and it works, I don't understand how this can work with order ID's and all that crap but that just might be my preconcieved idea getting in the way. Thanks a lot DioD.
