I'd recommend first checking that you're initializing the hashtable somewhere (preferably on map initialization). It is easy to forget.

Set Up Variables
- Events
  - Map initialization
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Hashtable - Create a hashtable
  - Set VariableSet ExampleHashtable = (Last created hashtable)

Without that, nothing will get saved/loaded properly.

Next, I noticed you initialize GrandCHGroupTarget, but there aren't any units added to it yet. In the periodic loop, you have this line to set up "GenericGroup" which tries to pick units that happen to be in that group:

Set GenericGroup = (Units within 250.00 of Point[4] matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of GrandCHCaster[GrandCH[1]])) Equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is in (Load 2 of (Key GrandCHHandle) in ExampleHashtable)))

But I don't think the condition "Matching unit is in <GrandCHGroupTarget>" will ever pass because you only add units to GrandCHGroupTarget in the "Pick every unit in GenericGroup..." block. Therefore GenericGroup will always be empty, and that might explain the issues you're having.

For GrancCHGroup it for enemy that was picked on Generic Group since it store from taking further damage,.. i just realize i must create atleast 4 unit group for do that with some integer count.. and yeah it is solved now thanks for clearing!
