Delete this, the expiration timer takes care of removing the unit. If you remove it with this, it doesn't have time to cast the spell.

deleting that remove unit trigger had no effect the trigger still doesnt work

could it be my dummy unit(its a riderless horse with elevator wall as model, locuts and the slam abilities. my other one is a paladin(hero) with thunder clap, locuts and slam abilities with elevator wall model.

make sure the dummy unit has mana, or that the spell its casting doesnt have a mana cost.
also, set the "animation backswing point" of the dummy unit to 0.000
then it should work.

Also, keep in mind that some models don't have any animations... and deleting that remove should have done something. Try making a 3 second timer and see what that does, but first make the spell require 0 mana.

Well i had a problem like that some time ago, I fixed it changing the "Race" of the spell,... change it to CREEP (if you want to make the spell castable by all races)instead of in example human or orc. Maybe you have change the race of neutral-Slam to human or another race...

Well my problem was when with triggers I give an ability to an unit, but i think that your unit come with the ability so maybe this wont help you but who knows.... :8 :8

with the ACTION ---> order unit...

In example i have an unit with an ability called FIRE based on breatfhoffire, then i make something like: Order unit to neutral-Pandarem BrewMasterBreathofFire to center of map... and it will cast FIRE in the center of the map

Pd: You can only have one ability of this tipe because if you put FIRE and BreathofFire together it will only cast one of the two--- ^_^ ^_^
