I made an ability based on Feral Spirits from Far Seer and it summons a dummy unit. When the hero begins casting the ability, the trigger orders the dummy unit to cast Animate Dead and Resurrection. But the problem is the dummy unit only cast one ability instead of 2 at the same time. I already tried using wait action, and put issue order in the same Pick unit action. Those game messages are for letting me know if the ability works or not. The dummy is a peasant, and a normal unit. The 2 abilities the dummy unit cast are set to false for "Hero Ability" and "Item Ability". Does anyone know how to solve this? I appreciate all helps.

You cannot order a unit to cast two spells simultaneously, you either have to add a wait before casting the second spell or create another trigger that orders it to cast the second spell after casting the first one.
As for you trigger, there is an issue in it : You are leaking a unit group and it's unnecessary to use it anyway, you just need to detect when a unit spawns a summoned unit and order it to cast the spell.

@Warseeker You can order it to cast both spells if the Dummy is setup properly. There's no need for a Wait.

The main issue I imagine is having enough corpses to Resurrect/Animate.

Doesn't work for me. What do you mean if the dummy is setup properly?

why dont you just create two dummy caster units?

or better solution will be

Event
paladin cast resurrection
Action
Set TempPoint = location of paladin
unit - create Animate Dead (Dummy Caster) at TempPoint facing 0 degrees
Unit - order last created unit to (DeathKnight - animate dead).
Unit - Add expiration timer for last created unit, 5 seconds
Custom script: Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)



there you go. not sure why you dont want casting resurrection to be the event that fires the trigger. if you really want to

Event
Any event you want
Action
Set TempPoint = location of trigger unit (which is the paladin that casted the spell firing the trigger)
unit - create Animate Dead (Dummy Caster) at TempPoint facing 0 degrees
Unit - order last created unit to (DeathKnight - animate dead).
Unit - Add expiration timer for last created unit, 5 seconds
unit - create Resurrection (Dummy Caster) at TempPoint facing 0 degrees
Unit - order last created unit to (Paladin- Resurrection).
Unit - Add expiration timer for last created unit, 5 seconds
Custom script: Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)



I think this should work as long as your dummy caster is properly set (having locus ability enough mana no model etc).
Note: I havent checked if both units can be spawned in the same location but I think its possible especially that they have locust ability. however, there is a chance that the second unit will be slightly next to the first one: I have not tested this.

The dummy needs: Art - Animation Cast Backswing and Cast Point set to 0.00. Movement Type set to None. Speed Base set to 0.

I have it working in the map I attached.

The main issue I imagine is having enough corpses to Resurrect/Animate.

in this case the one that is ordered first in the trigger will take corpses first right?
now I am wondering what would happen if two units are ordered to resurrect lol.
anyway isnt it better to have two dummy casters? I mean just to make sure no bug will happen.

because maybe things change between versions of WC3 who knows.
[Solved] - Overwrite issued order by scripted order... doesn't work anymore?

Yeah, the first ability cast will take priority and consume the corpses. There will never be an instance where both go off at the same time, nothing happens at the EXACT same time.

And 1 Dummy is all you need in most cases. I used to think you needed separate dummies for each picked unit/separate ability cast, like if you wanted to create an AoE Storm Bolt, but it turns out that if the Dummy has the correct settings this isn't required.

I have a map in which I use 1 Dummy for EVERYTHING and it works fine.
