This is drivin me crazy. I'm trying to do the simplest thing. trying to make that a dummy cast but i can't. When Soul Burn is casted the text "Soul Burn" is displayed so the trigger is being executed, nonetheless neither the Stormbolt (unit) is casted neither Soul Burn from the triggering unit (casting is interrupted).
  • Test
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Soul Burn
    • Actions
      • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Soul Burn
      • Unit - Create 1 DummyUnit for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing 0.00 degrees
      • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Add Stormbolt (unit) to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Set level of Stormbolt (unit) for (Last created unit) to 1
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Target unit of ability being cast)
Can someone explain me why this is happeing? The DummyUnit is correct, i have been usin it from other spells. Stormbolt (unit) doesnt require mana and has very long cast range. Any help will be appreciated!

It’s probably a targeting thing like Chaosium suggested since you’re creating the dummy for a static player. But also: some spells cannot be cast on a target you don’t have vision of, even when ordered via trigger. If Player 1’s only unit is that dummy and the dummy doesn’t have a sight radius, then it probably can’t cast on the target.
