What is the problem you are having with it?

 

[kamyflex]

you can use one dummy for all levels and thats better and easier and then use : set level of ability for unit to : level of abiltiy for juggernaut.
Dont use juggernaut : use triggering unit in case where another juggernaut uses the same spell.
Tell us whats the problem with your spell ???
can you see the thunder clap effect ??

POSSIBLE ANSWER : your dummy spell also needs mana and cooldown, so set mana required and colldown to 0 for the dummy unit spell

 

[Ragnoras]

It doesn;t work, all it does is just shoot the grenade and done!

 

[Lender]

set dummy's "Art - cast point" and "Art - cast backswing" to 0. and make shure dummy actually has thunderclap and got 0 mana cost and cast time

It's what Lender wrote - most likely you incorrectly set up your dummy unit and thus casting a spell requires any amount of time higher than 0.00. Since you immediately remove the unit, it has no time to cast the spell.

 

[kamyflex]

instead of using "remove unit" use : set unit expiration timer, and set expiration time to 2 seconds which is enough time to cast the dummy spell and automatically kill the dummy unit, you can also add a trigger to remove any dummy who dies from the game.

 

[Nichilus]

while one of the possibilities, I think that's just waste of power to leave an unneeded unit in there for X seconds and make another trigger to remove it later, if all you really need is to modify a few fields in the object editor.

 

[kamyflex]

@Nichilus, its just the fear of the unit being removed before the spell is cast XD, but i will trust you and start doing what you suggested

 

[Nichilus]

You probably won't notice the difference outright, but it may have an impact on your fps when numerous units cast such a spell in mass fight - suddenly there are another X units (while invisible for you, they are still there) on the screen and it takes some processing power for the game to manage them.
