This may be a bit of a noobish question but anyways, how do you make creeps use spells. I already have given the spell to the creep but the creeps use the spell once or twice every 5 minuts. I need the creeps to be able to keep casting (spell) as fast as possible. I have made the mana cost and cooldown low and that still doesnt work. An example is in Footmen vs Grunts where there are creeps in the middle who keep using war stomp or something. Thanks in advance for any help.

In the object editor, there is an object labeled order string ID. This is the spell that the computer will register the custom spell as. For example, if it has an order string of something like chain lightning (which has a low cooldown), it will cast the spell at every possible and opportune time. This also means, however, that a unit will not use something like chain lightning or an area of effect spell if there is only one unit or a couple of units nearby. Basically, choose an order ID that is based on a spell with A.) a low cooldown and B.) similar effects of your ability.

Hope this helps...
