Order unit to use ability

What would I use to make a unit use spell X?

I can't seem to find an 'issue order' matching what I want.

Allright, it's the unit - order unit to do an order targeting and unit, point or no target. Depending on what your spell is based off of, you will have to do different ones. Storm Bolt would be Unit Target Unit, Thunder Clap would be Unit No Target. Get it?

Yeah, I knew that, but where do I set it to cast a custom ability. All I see is the premade ones.

From what I know about the trigger editor there is no way to get a unit to use a custom ability.

TO do this you will have to use the basic ability you based the custom ability on and edit that and then have a unit cast that one with a trigger.

Sigh, listen. If you base a move off of STORM BOLT, it will still count as STORM BOLT, regardless what it does. So in the 'default spells' you will need to select STORM BOLT, if that was your base ability. Get it? If you made a shockwave and named it FireWave, it will still be SHOCKWAVE, unless you change its order command at the bottom of the ability. If you did that, then make the unit cast the spell that you changed it too. As long as the unit has the ability, it will cast it.
