[Trigger] Trying to make a root spell, won't work

• FS Buff Check

    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Flaming Snare Unit for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Raider - Ensnare (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Remove (Last created unit) from the game

The spell is suppose to root the target unit and deal damage over time. The damage is solved with Shadow Strike, the Root WOULD be solved with Ensnare, but it won't work.

Yes, the dummy unit has the Ensnare ability. (A copy of it, does that still work?)

I hope the reason you are not using entangling roots is you want to practice some triggering or it has some kind of bugs which prevent working on air units.

1)Make sure your dummy has enough mana for ensnare skill
2)Delete last line of trigger, if spell works this way go your dummy unit's object editor settings and

Art - Animation - Blend Time
Art - Animation - Cast Backswing
Art - Animation - Cast Point

set all these values to 0


Also a note, you may want to use "A unit starts to effect of an ability" event

I'm not using Entangling Roots because Entangling Roots is not actually a root spell, it's a root/stun. (It stops the target unit from attacking, but does not prevent spellcasting...I think, I haven't used that Spell in a long time. xD)

Okay, I'll try everything you suggested. xD

EDIT: Yeah, changing those values on the Dummy unit did it. Thanks for the help. +rep because this was a simple thing that I really should know, but I just have little experience in this so I don't...
