Compile Problem

I don't understand why I'm getting this error in my Actions function for a trigger set off by Unit Starts the Effects of An Ability:

Type-mismatch / Cannot convert player to unit

JASS:

function Trig_Equator_Shot_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    //misc other variable declarations here
    local unit CastingUnit = GetSpellAbilityUnit()
    local unit CastingPlayer = GetOwningPlayer(CastingUnit)
    local unit TargetUnit = GetSpellTargetUnit()
    //trigger continues...

Gives me the error on the line:

JASS:

    local unit TargetUnit = GetSpellTargetUnit()

Im thinking maybe it has something to do with the line before it, but I denno...
EDIT: and/or something to do with the fact the Get...functions are constant natives?

blu_da_noob	You are defining CastingPlayer as a unit by mistake. Should be: JASS: local player CastingPlayer = GetOwningPlayer(CastingUnit)

Ah yes fun with compiling... You are correct your error is the line above-- you have CastingPlayer set to a unit not an player variable type....

mmx2000	Jesus what an obvious mistake. Heh, thanks for pointing it out, serves me right for staring at code for a game for the last 5 hours XD
