dummy unit is not casting ability

• resting
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Rest
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 rest (dummy_bed) for Player 12 (Brown) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Dreadlord - Sleep (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Trigger - Turn on resting effect <gen>

I have a unit with the ability 'Rest'. If I cast this ability on a hero nearby, i creae a new unit called 'rest (dummy_bed) and order it to cast sleep on the hero. But it simply won't happen. I already created the unit for myself to check if I can cast the ability - yes I can. I also removed the expiration timer but this also doesn't help.

What am I missing? its driving me crazy ^^

/e: the range of the ability is not the problem

This probably a dumb question, but can player 12 cast it on the target. Because of enemy and friendly targets allowed.
Have you tried using starts the effect of an ability instead of begins casting.
You could save the target unit of ability cast to a variable before doing anything else.
I don't see anything else that could be causing it.

Vision could be a problem as well. This is something that you can overlock quite easily. Unit target abilties need the target to be visible for the casting player.

Ahh, thanks man !! I would have never thought about this ^^

can you tell me if you have custom ability based on ANcl (channel) with custom order "sleep"?

Did you set the casting time of the unit to 0? If it's larger than 0, the timed unit will be gone before it gets a chance to cast the spell.

Otherwise just spawn the dummy unit without locust and with increased timed life and see if you can use the ability manually.

try casting the sleep ability manually with out the trigger to see if it can even be cast on ur hero ?
