Dummy Issued Ability-Order at Point

[plumsy460]

I have trouble making a dummy use spells that are point based (shockwave, silence and stuff). I have no problem making it use Unit Target and No Target spells.

Is there an actual problem with point based ability-orders, or am I just missing something in my trigger?

Thanks in advance

The usual reasons are that the spot is out of range, the unit doesn't have enough mana, or the unit is removed before he can turn to cast the spell.

Be sure to set the dummy unit's cast point to 0.00 as well as his animation backswing, and set his movement speed to 0. For more info on the options to set, see:

Otherwise, you may want to post the trigger that isn't working. It can sometimes be an issue with the order string (make sure they match).

Thank you very much PurgeandFire.

I checked the details and everything seems to be in order. I even managed to make it cast impale including other point-spells.
I still have a problem though. I can't make the dummy cast Carrion Swarm or Cloud in spite of putting in the right Order ID.

But I guess I am still just missing something if it works for everybody else? :/

Make sure the point is within range of the dummy. Make sure the dummy can cast the ability. Make sure the dummy is either a ward or is given enough time to rotate and face the target point.

Thank you. All details checked.

Well, like I said, the dummy works fine and it can use point spells.
However, it just can't specifically use Carrion Swarm or Cloud for some reason. Cast range, requirements, manacost, Order ID, everything seems to be in order.

If you guys can make a dummy cast Carrion Swarm or Cloud on your computer, I guess I'm just clumsy on checking my details

Btw, I just tested the Carrion Swarm Order trigger on a standard unit. It doesn't work... Am I just doing something very wrong or does anyone else have same problem?
