The answer to your question why sometimes the skeleton doesn't follow is the inconsistency of your triggers. I don't think you need wait actions here too. The random unit in skeleton group is also messing your wanted mechanics.

What's the purpose of the third trigger anyway?

In order to achieve this, there are so many not that simple ways and considering how's your triggering this (they can be quiet complicated for you). However, to start with the algorithm... you may start storing the skeleton unit first by either indexing or unit groups, then periodically checking the distance between them, do the order actions if true, and finally deindex or remove it in the unit group if it's dead. You can also use a unit indexer system for this as it automatically do the indexing process to make this simpler for you.

Edit: SummonedEscort v1.5 you can also consider this resource if it's reliable on newer patches.

fixed, aparently the problem has been solved.

The third part changes the controller of the raised skeleton to a computer player. The objective is control only the necromancer and not the skeletons too

 

[Herod]

Other question? There´s possible a hero has 2 types of raise dead? One raise dead raises skeleton warriors other skeleton mage?

 

[FUJI]

Have you tried it on the editor yet? It's possible tho only one can be activated on auto cast (I think) and in case you must change the base order id of the other one.

i´ve tried but if try raise the mage its like the other only has been casted

If the differences of each raise dead ability's order string/id fields doesn't help then I'm afraid it's hardcoded. Same thing if you're talking about auto cast activation as only one auto casting ability can be activated at a time on the same unit. Atleast, you may find such alternatives to make it kinda work but not the way you exactly wanted.

Here, I made you a slightly custom raise dead spell because I'm bored.

I used dummy units, and channel abilities with different order ids so you can cast either of the two without casting them at the same time.

The two dummy units casts different raise dead abilities, the first dummy unit spawns skeletons, the other dummy unit spawns grunts. The first dummy unit will spawn if your hero casts the first channel ability I added to the hero, while the second dummy unit will spawn when the hero casts the second channel ability. The dummy units casts the raise dead spell before they die.

You can modify the range of the AOE by editing the Casting Range and AOE Effect of Raise Dead abilityy I given to the dummy units.

This should be leakless too.

Spoiler

The only downside of this is that if you add cooldown to the channel abilities, the ability will cooldown regardless if there are dead units or no dead units around/near the caster.
