Spirit Link not Linking to other Units

[indomitable1319]

Alright. I've made a Spirit Link that's supposed to split a 75% of the damage taken across 3 units.
There's one thing; it's supposed to target 3 enemy units. The Object Editor stuff is set already, so once again, no need to worry about that.
Once I cast it, the spell doesn't link across 3 enemy units. It only affects the target unit of the spell.
I set the Targets Allowed thing to Enemy and Ground units.
I also checked all of the Gameplay Constants parameters, and saw nothing there that could help.

So, my problem is, it only links to one enemy unit. That's all.

Spirit Link is a quirky, limited spell. If I remember correctly, it will only chain to allies, and even then, the damage will only split between units owned by the same player as the one which took damage (even if several players' units were given the buff at once).

A possible solution would be to give the hero a placeholder spell, and then create a dummy for the owner of the spell target to cast the actual Spirit Link spell.

Ah, I see. I'll do that.

Alright, I've done it and it does not work.

You made sure to change the Spirit Link ability to allow targeting of allies, not enemies, right?

Yes, I did.
