I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I'll answer with what I think you want.

Give the dummy unit an ability that targets a point, something like Carrion Swarm or base it off of Channel if you know how to use that.

Make this ability do nothing, so it deals 0 damage, has 0 mana cost, 0 second cooldown, targets allowed set to None, and most importantly set it's Cast Range to something small like 10.

Then in the trigger instead of ordering the Dummy to move to the point, order it to cast Carrion Swarm there instead.

Then make a new trigger and do something like this:

• Events:
• A unit begins casting an ability
• Conditions:
• Ability being cast equal to The Dummy Ability
• Actions:
• Pick every unit within X range of position of casting unit -> Deal damage to picked unit
• Create Explosion special effect at position of casting unit
• Remove casting unit

This way when the Dummy reaches it's destination it will explode and deal damage.

A unit begins casting an ability

Ability being cast equal to The Dummy Ability

Pick every unit within X range of casting unit
Deal damage to picked unit

like explosion effect

Is the special effect you're using not working? If that's the problem then it's probably because you're creating it at the center of the map instead of at the position of triggering unit.

no the Art - caster in the ability ignore the special effect on the trigger

I don't understand. The ability won't play it's Art - Caster animation?

The special effect in your trigger is created every 0.10 seconds at the center of the map offset by 800.00. The Art - Caster effect has nothing to do with that, they're two completely different things.

I don't know where you got the idea that creating a Special Effect at a point would be linked to the ability in any way, shape, or form. You aren't changing the Art - Caster field with triggers, you're simply creating a special effect at some Point in the map.

Maybe you want this?

• Actions
  • Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: (Triggering unit)'s Ability with Ability Code: (Ability being cast))'s String Level Field: Caster ('acat') of Level: ((Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)) - 1) to Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\NeutralBuildingExplosion\NeutralBuildingExplosion.mdl

I never tested it, but it should change the Art - Caster field of your ability to whatever special effect you type in. The Level needs to be set to 1 less than you would normally use, because it's Indexed starting at 0. This means that if you want to change the Art - Caster field for level 1, you need to put 0 in the Level field. Again, this might not even work as Blizzard hasn't properly implemented these yet.

The AOE Upon death damage Spell Doesn't do the correct Effect i want it to.

Like this When the unit dies it triggers the spell Simple.

But the Effect i want in the ability is not showing.

like this.

Ah, I see now. You're using the PASSIVE ability called AOE damage upon death and the Art fields don't work for that ability.

Okay, well since your unit is dying in order to trigger the ability, use "A unit dies" as the Event.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Level of AOE damage upon death (Sapper) for (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Triggering unit)) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\NeutralBuildingExplosion\NeutralBuildingExplosion.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
