I have been to multiple message boards with this issue, and I have yet to receive any sort of info on what the problem is. Basically, large units and air units cannot be targeted with abilities from underneath while in a 3rd person cam, but as soon as I switch to an overhead view, abilities cast without issue. Very large units I can target their feet (which is not ideal), but air units cannot be targeted at all.

I have included a video of my error.

- You will notice the error "Must Target Unit" if I click the ground.
- The second error is what I don't understand: "No units can handle that command", what command, why not?
- When I switch to overhead camera, I can cast on them without issue.

I'm at my wits end here, and am about to just accept its a flaw in the SC2 game design.
 
hi
can you explain what actions are involved to create a 3d view?

- did you try to switch the models of the units? maybe an issue with the bounding box. which models are used?
- did you try standard abilities yet? does it occur with all skills?
- are any other buffs/triggers involved?
