Problem With an Ability

[Aoen]

My ability, bloodscent, is supposed to make enemies near the target unit of ability being cast attack the target enemy of ability being cast for X seconds. The base ability I used was firebolt (because the ability stuns the target unit of ability being cast as well)
This is my Trigger:

(Events)
Unit - A Unit Finnishes Casting an Ability

(Conditions)
(Ability being cast) equal to Bloodscent

(Actions)
Unit - Change Ownership of target unit of ability being cast to player 5 yellow*
Unit - Add No Cooldown No Cost Taunt to target unit of ability being cast**
Unit - Order target unit of ability being cast to Night Elf Giant - Taunt
Unit Group - Pick every unit within a range of X from target unit of ability being cast
-Unit Group add Picked unit to Bloodscent Attackers Unit Group
- Order picked unit to attack target unit of ability being cast
wait X seconds
Change ownership of target unit of ability being cast to neutral hostile
Unit Group - Pick every unit in Bloodscent Attackers
- Order picked unit to stop
Unit Group
- Remove all units from Bloodscent Attackers

I want to know why this doesn't work.

*-Player 5 is an enemy of the caster and neutral creeps
**- When my ability didn't work initially I put this in just in case

im not exactly sure, but try the following things...

-Store Target Unit of Ability Being Cast in a variable, as it rarely remembers itself through waits if you do not do so.

-make sure the orderstring on your taunt skill is "taunt", or w/e the mountain giant's taunt starts as.

Didn't work

I'm not sure if this is right, but to the best of my knowledge, the event "Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability" doesnt store the variable "Target unit of ability being cast", try it with "Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability", also, as purple said, the "Wait X seconds" action erases all your local variables, such as "Target unit of ability being cast".

P.S, i dont think u need to order the units around the target to attack it, seeing as how Taunt already does this. Not sure if this is right, but try it anyways and let me know =D

oh, yeah, missed that...

A Unit Finishes Casting an Ability only stores Triggering Unit, and nothing else.

use A Unit Starts the Effect of an Ability.

 

[Aoen]

Lol, I changed that too, actually b4 u posted and it still didn't work, could it be because the neutral hostile "Owner" is overiding the oreder and ordering the units to attack the caster????

 

[PurplePoot]

dont think you can issue orders to computer players to cast spells. ( or atleast it hasnt worked for me about 95% of the time )

I don't know how, but now it started working. Anyway thx for the help Purple.
