Has the Order id stored the target-type?

Hello, I just found something weird that I didn't notice before, I created an ability based on channel and gave it the order id of chainlightning and it has point target, then I tried to order an npc to order chainlightning in some point with triggers, but refuses to do that even if I could control the npc manually and cast the spell without problem, so I tried changing the spell from point target to unit target like the original Chain Lightning, and finally worked, so the order ids have stored what kind of target have when is about the AI?

The issue you found is a well known issue with channel. Using a target type other than the standard target type for an order ID corrupts the order ID preventing the standard abilities that use it from being ordered to cast by triggers.
