It could be that the Art - Animation - Cast point is equal or longer than the expiration timer, so the dummy dies before casting.

 

[BloodDrunk]

it could, but it's not.
Because it does casts thunder clap, but doesn't stuns the TUOABC

 

[Nichilus]

Try setting turn rate and movement speed to 0... I think that way the dummy unit won't try to face the target, but will try to cast the spell immediately (this would be prolonged only by Cast Point time, but you wrote it's 0)

You could also try to temporarily remove the action ordering unit to cast thunderclap, to see if the unit will cast stormbolt. If it does, then stormbolt's order is rewritten by thudnerclap before the dummy is able to execute the first order

 

[Molekyle]

Im fairly certain that a dummy unit cannot cast two spells simultaneously.
A simple solution would be to create another dummy unit (TempDummyUnit[2]?) and have it cast the stun while the first dummy casts the slow.

 

[Nichilus]

It can imo, as long as cast point and cast backswing are set to 0 and the dummy faces its target.

 

[Molekyle]

You might be right.

 

[BloodDrunk]

I don't think it casts it simultaneously. It just orders it to cast stormbolt and thunderclap.
And the dummy casts first, then second...

Imma try with 2 dummy units... BTW, can I create 2 same units? and 1 be [1] and second [2]?
Will it screw or smth (i think not, but just wanna make sure)

 

[Nichilus]

The amount of time a spell takes to cast depends on the unit and the spell.
Total cast time = [cast point] + [spell duration] + [cast backswing]
Spells like stormbolt have 0 spell duration, so their cast time (i.e. before you send the projectile and after you send the projectile) depends on cast point and backswing.
For you it is important that cast point and spell duration are 0.

A unit does not remember more than 1 order - so if you order unit to cast stormbolt and then order it to cast thunderclap; and the execution of stormbolt is not instant, then it will get rewritten and will not be used.

-----
If you want to create 2 dummies, you have to create each one; don't use "Unit - Create 2 dummies at loc"; create only 1 so you can easily set it as temp unit[1] and the other as temp unit[2]

 

[BloodDrunk]

EDIT: ^^ that still doesn't works. Requesting further help...
Hmm, do you think that it could be because the target is moved (knockbacked)?

 

[BloodDrunk]

bump

 

[Nichilus]

Even when you create 2 separate dummies, they still don't cast storm bolt?
That's strange... what comes to my mind that could be problematic may be:
- spell has lower range than needed
- spell costs mana but dummy has not enough mana
- spell has cast time
- spell has badly set allowed targets (e.g. it has only "air" targets allowed)
- unit does not face correct point and until it turns, it dies => try creating a temporal point at the position of your target and create a dummy facing that point instead of creating dummy facing angle

other problems could also be that you
- order incorrect spell id to be used (i.e. you order unit to cast storm bolt, but the spell you want to use has id fireball)
- you ordered either incorrect dummy to use spell at target or correct dummy at incorrect target

 

[BloodDrunk]

everything is f****** set correctly goddamn. I don't know why it doesn't stuns the bitch.. Goddamn

EDIT: updated the trigger up

Can you post the map? Like you delete everything you think is not relevant to this issue.
