Unit is not recieving order

[EdgeOfChaos]

This is my current code:

    function applyEffect takes unit target, integer toAdd returns nothing
        local unit dummy = CreateUnit(Player(0),DUMMY,GetUnitX(target),GetUnitY(target),0)
        call UnitAddAbility(dummy,toAdd)
        call IssueTargetOrderById(dummy,toAdd,target)
        call UnitApplyTimedLife(dummy,'BTLF',1.0)
    endfunction

DUMMY is a constant integer for the unit type of my dummy.
toAdd is the ability ID (for this a custom storm bolt)
Target is the unit to apply it to.

I'm trying to use it to cast a custom storm bolt. I made the dummy visible and belong to me for the test, and it is being created correctly, and the ability is being added. It just won't cast it. What am I doing wrong here?

(and no, it's not something like mana cost or cast range, I checked both of those. I can cast the ability manually OK from the dummy, it's just the trigger that won't use it.)

always use apply timed life as a first after creating for dummys

function applyEffect takes unit target, integer toAdd returns nothing
        local unit dummy = CreateUnit(Player(0),DUMMY,GetUnitX(target),GetUnitY(target),0)
        call UnitApplyTimedLife(dummy,'BTLF',1.0)
        call UnitAddAbility(dummy,toAdd)
        call IssueTargetOrderById(dummy,toAdd,target)
endfunction

and null dummy

Well, i usually avoid using this native IssueTargetOrderById as I would also have the same problem with you (perhaps it my own problem...). As a replacement i would use this native IssueTargetOrder. It always working fine as long as the string order is input correctly.

Ability ID and order ID are different things

Still not working, I'm afraid. Spawns, but doesn't do anything.

Thanks Flux, nice list;] very usefull

what I told about sequence is valid, but, yes you are trying to do something like
call IssueTargetOrderById(dummy,'A000',target)
which wont work. Use Ceday/Flux tip. For thunderbolt you need integer: 852095
