Some dummy spells don't work (?)

Ok. I use alot of dummy spells, and have a custom function that creates a dummy unit and gives it the dummy ability. However, for some reason, some abilities just don't work! I've had cripples that don't work on allies, Inner fires that don't work on enemies, stuns, the list goes on. But it's not all. It's some. And yes, I double/triple checked the orderID's, mana, and my script. I have no idea what's causing it, and I'm wondering if anyone else might know why.


And a question. If I have a Roar ability with a range of .01, will it just affect the caster? 'Cause I want to add defense to an enemy, and inner fire refuses to work for me, so I thought of making a dummy caster use a modded roar at the precise position of the targeted unit. If not .01, what's the minimum range that should work without buffing any other units?

Tried the target field?

How about adding/removing a modified "Armor Bonus (Item)" to the target unit?

@av3n- Yes, wayyyy too any times. I've changed them, re-arranged them, everything.

@pyrogasm- Had I known about that, i would've done that a while ago. But that doesn't explain why some spells work, others don't. I had to use a cripple spell for something once. First, I made the dummy an ally of the casting unit, with target fields on allied/friend. Then, i tried making the dummy caster an enemy with target fields on enemy. (Obviously with the others, like ground, etc.) Neither worked, even after extensive checking and re-checking.

Then you're doing something wrong. As simple as that. Because Cripple is cast on enemies by default, so there is no way it wouldn't be able to suddenly. And I know Inner Fire can be cast on enemies. You're definitely doing something wrong.

I guess I'll like 100x check, sometimes the slightest errors get through here and there. Thanks though.
