hi it's me again

i used medivac heal to transfer energy (from building to building). this works if i cast is manually. select building cast on other building, BUT if i try to trigger it, it doesn't work.
debug says it needs target.
using
unit order
-energysource medivac heal on target replace current orders i have localized version so i can't just copy and past.
the units are ok, i added remove energysource and target, so the trigger gets the right units.
is this a bug? or do i need anything fency to be able to trigger a skill?

:vw_wtf::vw_wtf::vw_wtf:i also tried standard abilities like timewarp. all skills work if i cast them but if i try to trigger them the debug always says "target needed". the target is regonized by the trigger, i have tested that by removing the unit with same trigger (after 5 secs). so it must be an editor bug?!?!?!?!? come on, plzzzzzz ,:vw_wtf: try it and tell me that bliz fucked up the editor. :vw_wtf::vw_wtf::vw_wtf::vw_wtf:

Umm, so are you saying that your ability works fine in the data editor, but when you do it all in triggers it screws up, or are you saying the trigger editor isn't picking up on when the ability is used? Or did I get both those wrong?

if i test the map the skills work fine but if i use triggers to cast the skills it says that the skills need a target.

set it to what? as i said, i can cast the skils on the targets i want but i can't cast if i use triggers.

both units, the caster and the target are regonized by the trigger( i have tested by removing them with trigger ), so i have no mistake in targeting wrong units. and i am using the correct action medivac - heal OR nexus - timewarp; both skills do not work if casted by trigger. i even used the normal timewarp with a normal nexus, i cant make the nexus cast on any building (by trigger ofc) it works if i cast it.
