Make a Unit cast a Spell with Triggers

[Vikus]

How do I make a unit/hero cast a spell with GUI Triggers?

Issue Order targeting a Unit <- Does not work.

I don't see any triggers at all to do this..
Help?

The map is a cinematic.

Order him to cast the spell the spell is based on. So if you wish to make an unit cast storm bolt just use:

Issue Unit to Human Mountainking - Storm Bolt Unit

The list of abilities in the trigger does not include custom abilities. I need it to cast ANY ability I need it to.

Trigger the unit to cast the ability that you based the custom spell on, e.g.: if you based the ability off Storm Bolt, then you need to trigger the unit to cast storm bolt and it'll cast the custom one.
This is because every spell has a Spell ID: this Spell ID cannot be customized and can only be changed in the spells Channel and Spellbook.
A custom ability automatically takes the Spell ID of the ability it was based on.
If you base it off channel, then check the Spell ID you're using ^^

Ok, I get it now. Thanks guys, +rep

EDIT: What if you have more than one of the same spell ID? (Making multiple custom spells after Storm Bolt), Would it only fire the spell the unit has? (What if you have both spells on the same unit?)

It`ll cast one of these spells (you never know which one but most probably the spell with lower X/Y position). You must then base one of the spells on another ability or give it other spell ID (works only for channel!)

I suggest you use different ID (storm bolt and drunken haze for example)
Rmb to set buff duration to 0.01 and set the buff effects to none

I advice you to learn how to use the Channel Ability.
