I was making a Dummy Spell for my map simply for appearance based off of locust Swarm ability but for some reason whenever my Dummy Unit casts it the swam units just all hover over the caster and not move. Why is it glitching? Anyone got any help?

The swarm units must have aloc.

'Aloc' is the locust unit ability in case you didn't already know, Mystic.

I gave them Locust ability. Hell I just copied the unit FROM the original locust. I've already asked some friends and they got no clue why they dont dispurse.

So the locust units just stand still over the caster?

They dont move around or anything?

How do they react when theres a nearby hostile unit around?

That is correct.

I dont beleive so but with 100 its a bit hard to keep track. For all they know they could be running around this tiny little area they all clump into.

Hm I dont beleive they'd do anything I havent tried that because its not an Attack spell. Its just to Make an area look pretty.

If they don't have an attack, that could be the issue.

I gave them their Damage Return Threshold (0.01) And I saw them returning to their dummy caster but after they got there they clustered up again. Then I Gave them their Damage Return Factor at the same amount but saw no differance.

How do I Paste the Unit stats?

Also the Red circle is because of something odd. That one was circling around in that circle for some reason. It's never happened before.

Pls attach the image to the post and don't use [img] tags and without the unit stats we can't tell clearly what the proplem is.
To take a image of the units stats, go into the WE, open the object editor,... and then press print, make a new picture and then paste it.

On your 'spirits' ability (I'm assuming its the one based off of locust swarm), it says 'friend, hero' in the target section, maybe try the defaults?

Well i had the same problem as you however i totally forgot how i fixed it but i believe it was because of threshold or something related to that. try changing those values to be higher like to an integer instead of a real.
Also try making a whole new spell or use the regular locust unit and see if the regular ones get "stuck". just try and do crazy stuff even if you think you know its not the problem because doing this can sometimes make you see something else you oversaw.
