Triggered Burrow Blink Ability

I'm trying to make the crypt lord burrow, then "teleport" to another point immediately and impale his current target. The trigger looks likes this

Trigger:

Then - Actions

Unit - Pause WaveMonsterNumber[1]

Animation - Play WaveMonsterNumber[1]'s Morph animation

Wait 0.70 game-time seconds

Unit - Hide WaveMonsterNumber[1]

Wait 1.50 game-time seconds

Set WaveMonsterTarget[1] = (Random unit from GladiatorAlive)

Set TempPoint = ((Position of WaveMonsterTarget[1]) offset by 100.00 towards (Random angle) degrees)

Unit - Move WaveMonsterNumber[1] instantly to TempPoint

Animation - Play WaveMonsterNumber[1]'s Morph Defend animation

Unit - Unhide WaveMonsterNumber[1]

Wait 0.70 game-time seconds

Unit - Unpause WaveMonsterNumber[1]

Unit - Order WaveMonsterNumber[1] to Undead Crypt Lord - Impale TempPoint

Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

Set WaveCountingTimer = 0

WaveMonsterNumber[1] is a predefined user global variable.
After the burrow (morph) animation, the unit will simply be paused and other units will interact with it. The hide function will not even play.

Thanks ahead of time

EDIT: I changed the trigger

Well, the first animation line is wrong; it should be

Trigger:

Animation - Play (WaveMonsterNumber[1])'s Morph animation

When you say "impale his current target", what exactly do you mean by "current target"? The way you have it will move the Crypt Lord to a random point 100.00 distance from his current location (that line leaks a point, by-the-way) and then impale in the direction he's facing. There's no target unit in that at all.

Castlemaster	D'oh that fixed it Pyro, thanks for the help. As far as the leak you noticed, I have the "call:remove location...." command at the bottom of the trigger. Would that not remedy the leak?
