My problem is that the dummy doesnt follow the orders.

I don't have WE on this comp so I'll just give you a list of things you might want to check:
  • First, try giving the dummy unit an actual model. It can be anything. This will let you debug it properly to know whether it has moved, whether it has casted, etc.
  • Make sure the dummy has a cast point of 0.
  • Make sure the dummy has enough mana to cast.
  • Make sure the dummy has enough time to cast.
  • Make sure the dummy has a movement speed of 0 so the cast will be instant. (no turning or w/e)
  • Try running a 0 second timer after the ability finishes before calling the reset function.
