Lots of Problems

Problem 1:
Trigger:
Warstomp skill
Collapse Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Collapse Conditions
(Level of Warstomp 20% (dummy) for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
Collapse Actions
Collapse If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
Collapse If - Conditions
(Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 20
Collapse Then - Actions
Unit - Create 1 Dummy Caster for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at (Position of (Attacking unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
Unit - Add War Stomp to (Last created unit)
Unit - Set level of War Stomp for (Last created unit) to (Level of Warstomp 20% (dummy) for (Attacking unit))
Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp
Collapse Else - Actions
Do nothing
I created an ability which was passive and gave you a chance of casting War Stomp which is a default ability. I was trying to change the default ability to a custom ability, making it fail to work. The last line of the trigger says that Order <unit> to Orc Tauren Chieftan - War Stomp. I was wondering if i could make the Orc Tauren Chieftan - War Stomp to another ability which was something like Nova spells.

Problem 2: I created a dummy caster which was a Peasant. Can anyone find me a decent dummy caster which won't make sounds and spill blood when it dies? Or if there was something else that yall use, tell me.

Problem 3: Um.. How do I actually load proper images? Imageshack?

Question: Wheres the Meathook ability? The spell which drags units towards the caster, or is it a triggered spell or something?

Im still trying to find a 'simple enough to understand' thread which allows me to learn how to make the most BASIC and SIMPLEST weapon models/skins. If you do so, post it here.

->1. Try this:
Trigger:
Unit - Order Dummy to Undead-Lich - 'Frost-Nova' Target
Also paste your triggers, that helps people helping you.

->2. When you remove a unit it wont show any death effects (eg spill blood), else use no model for the dummy, or try the dummy which comes with vexorians caster system

->4. This is definetly a trigger enhanced spell. You might try this one: Hookshot.

Btw, when I say cast Nova spells, I meant that it casts stuff in a circle. Besides, I wanted to make it something like Unit - Order <unit> to <custom ability>

For the triggers just use the "Copy As Text" function in your WE and paste it in trigger tags.

For the nova cast you need something like that:
Trigger:
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
Collapse Loop - Actions
Unit - Order Dummy to Orc - Tauren-Chieftain - 'Schockwave' ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 256.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x 30.00) degrees)

And custom abilities use the same order as the ability they were based off, so you'll just order the dummy to cast the base ability.

But how do i make it Orc - Tauren-Chieftain - 'Schockwave'(custom ability) ?

Cos' you see, the default damage from the default abilities might be too low, I want to cast a custom abililty, not a default one. Thats the main point of the question.

Issuing a shockwave command orders the unit to cast WHATEVER shockwave based ability it has.
If it's a custom shockwave, that's okay, it will cast it.

But you see, if I do this, the trigger won't work at all.
Trigger:
Warstomp skill
Collapse Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Collapse Conditions
(Level of Warstomp 20% (dummy) for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
Collapse Actions
Collapse If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
Collapse If - Conditions
(Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 20
Collapse Then - Actions
Unit - Create 1 Dummy Caster for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at (Position of (Attacking unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
Unit - Add STOMP!(custom abil) to (Last created unit)
Unit - Set level of STOMP!(custom abil) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Warstomp 20% (dummy) for (Attacking unit))
Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp
Collapse Else - Actions
Do nothing

Make sure the STOMP! ability costs no mana, the dummy ability has 0 cast backswing and cast point, and targets and such are properly set.
That trigger should work assuming the dummy and dummy ability are properly calibrated.

Why not just use Pulverize?? (tauren upgrade)

Sorry to bring this up again but you see, the STOMP! ability actually works now =S But you see, when it casts the STOMP! ability, it basically has no effects or whatsoever. I checked all the effects but nothing seems to come out, only the stunned buff when it hits enemies.
