So I'm creating 2 abilities based off the items build tiny (building) and my problem is i have the 2 abilities set with custom buildings and all, but for some ridiculous reason i can only have 1 ability on my unit at any time because if i have both abilities no matter which one i click it always casts the first one in order in the editor, it makes no sense and i cannot find any solution as to why it does this. Summary; 2 abilities say i click the ability on the left, it still seems to cast the one on the right.

Not much can be done about the issue in particular, but you can do some workarounds.

This is what happens when a unit has two of the "same" ability on it. Meaning the base order ids are the same, and they collide when you try to cast one.

I thought it was something along those lines but i know of no other way to have summonable buildings without the 'build tiny' ability

You can let the unit build structures through the default way via undead building.

You can use "build tiny" item with different structures in the usual manner of through a unit's inventory.

Depending how important the silhouette of where to build is, you could use a regular ground targeted ability and make the building via trigger.

You could have the player forcibly select a different unit with the appropriate building choices when the player presses the "fake" build button.

You could also have all the "build" faked where the player would press the ability, and you'd add the appropriate building ability and force them to press the hotkey to see the silhouette and hide/remove the fake ability. You then have to make sure to catch when/if they cancel or actually do cast/build so you can appropriately replace it with the proper abilities.
