This is a list of triggers im using for a troll race in a game the only problem is that at first there were 5 triggers (1 for each of 5 units) but when i went in and tested the unit no matter what ability I pick a unit called "stealth trooper"
would replace the unit and not the unit that was put in the triggers below. Seeing if deleting the "stealth trooper" trigger would fix the problem i went back and tested it, but instead of there being a "stealth trooper" that would come up on every thing a "spear thrower unit would come up.. I check everything not in the triggers (units, research and upgrades) that had anything to do with the units but I can't find any reason for what is happening!

No man you need to change the bas e order ID in order to have same rooted ability work on same unit.

Example: You made two abilities from War Stomp, for one ability leave warstomp ID and for other change it something else (thunderclap?!?!?)

Check my map BattleChasers!

Base order id is for channel, spellbook and something else that I do not remember atm.
For an ability based on something else you need to change the Order Sting Use/Turn on.

Dude :D
You didn't get it...
Changing Base Order ID is only for some spells and it is NOT required in this case. Only the Order Sting Use/Turn on should be changed.

What motivated me to post that was this:
you must base them off different abilities or change the order strings
I thought you wanted to base your abilities on channel(for example) so that you can edit their Base order ID so that you could order the units to cast them :D
BUt now that all things are cleared up :)
