Working on a map and everytime after a successful capture, and the dragon hero is moved into the cage, the dummy unit abilitie won't activate so that the dragon hero cannot attack. can you tell me what's wrong?

Some of the things I always like to check when something simple like this doesn't work (my common goofs):

1.) Have you gotten rid of all of the research requirements for the spell?
2.) Is the spell range sufficient?
3.) Does it have a significant cooldown preventing successive casts?
4.) Does it cost mana, and if so does your dummy have mana?
5.) Does it have sufficient mana regen for multiple casts?
6.) Did you even give the dummy the spell?
7.) Does it have the correct targets allowed?
8.) Is the dummy unit owned by the correct player?
9.) Is the dummy unit still alive?

If the dummy unit is owned by neutral hostile you may want to change it because they do not take orders from triggers very well.

well numbers 1-7 and 9 I have correct. I'll try to make it so it wil temp turn in the capture dragon's control then it will cast the spell then turn into the nuetral's control again. I'll see if that works.

Unit - Order Cage Magic Seal 0336 <gen> to Human Sorceress - Slow (Target unit of ability being cast)
....
Unit - Make (Target unit of ability being cast) Invulnerable

You sure that the slow can even be cast on Invulnerable units? I mean have you actually tested that it works when targeting something that is Invulnerable by trying to manually cast it?

Remember that triggers fire instantly, the order will be processed and ability cast well after the trigger has reached the end of thread state.

A simple solution would to make the unit invulnerable in response to the slow ability effect being cast or finishing (seperate trigger).

what is the alliance situation of Cage Magic Seal to the targeted unit?, Im sure #8 is the reason...
