[Solved] Ability not working

[blackrat5521]

Does anyone know why my ability is not working? It is an ability used in an item.

• dragonglass item1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to dragonglass (entangling roots)
    • (Unit-type of (Target unit of issued order)) Equal to Civilian (Male)(dragonglass)
  • Actions
    • Set PointArray[1] = (Position of (Target unit of issued order))
    • Unit - Remove (Target unit of issued order) from the game
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at PointArray[1] using Abilities\Spells\Human\DispelMagic\DispelMagicTarget.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Unit - Create 1 Civilian (Male)(dragonglass) for Player 2 (Blue) at PointArray[1] facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointArray[1])

Target unit of issued order -> Target unit of ability

Only "Triggering Unit"/Triggering Player is save to use after an wait, an simple fix would be to use SubChapter 1 - Shadowing Global Variables From the link above.

• Remove Target
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit udg_Target
    • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove Target from the game
    • Unit - Create 1 Civilian for Player 1 (Red) at cdc1 facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Target = No unit

Beaware that using local variables this way disallows using them in groups and GUI IF - conditions.

Suggest:
If this spell can be used by multiple units you might need to add an additional check to prevent gaining 2 civilian from 1 Zombie.
