    You can call ApplyDummyCaster directly inside your Order functions.
    It would make things easier for the user.

    Also, the user should be able to set the level as he pleases.
    It shouldn't be set to the level of the caster.
    What if the dummy abilities are not made to have a linear relationship with the caster's level? :D

    - You should coz not all abilities are instant cast like flamestrike, it has a delay...
    - Since you are using custom script, it is better to use coordinates to reset and create the dummy...

    Mckill2009,flame strike is a channeling ability
    im using location instead of coordinates because it might cause bugs.
    ex.when i used coordinates,the units selection circle is moved,but not the model

    How can you approve this bugged system ?
    Try let the Dummy casts Slow (Sorceress) to multiple picked units (or even single unit).

    You'll notice, it can't.

    Why ?
    Because it only corresponds to only (Triggering player)'s unit which in this case, it will only cast the spell if the dummy's owning player is the player casting the spell.

    Solution:
    Create each player their own dummy unit and make it array for each instance.
    Dummy[1] for Player 1
    -----
    Dummy[12] for Player 12

    Just noticed this just now while I was experimenting some things.
    And please, before you start any argument, I think you should try it first (I was weird too).

    Also, it is better this way, create each player their own dummy unit, why ?
    Because certain game (such as DotA) will count as Player Kill like dummy casting Storm Bolt that deals damage. So, what if the dummy kills the unit ?
    The trigger interprets as Neutral Passive kills the unit, does that mean NP will get the gold ? No.
    This is why it is nice to have each dummy for each player.
