So I heard about a channel ability. An ability with no effect, but used for triggers. I can't seem to get the unit to cast the ability though.

  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
      • Time - Elapsed game time is 2.00 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit - Order Worker (Blood Elf) 0031 <gen> to Human Sorceress - Slow Captain 0032 <gen>
      • Game - Display to (All players) for 2.00 seconds the text: spell cast
I changed the Base Order ID to slow. Shouldn't the unit be casting an ability? He just stands still..?

Is the target type "unit" (in object editor)? Also, does the unit have enough mana to cast the spell? I've ordered units to cast channel based spells before, so it should work. You could also try another order with unit target.
