• Vanish
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Vanish
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.10 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 Vanish Dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Vanish = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order Vanish to Human Dragonhawk Rider - Cloud (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove Vanish from the game

Casting Unit doesn't work after waits - use Triggering Unit, it's faster anyway. And also consider using Unit Starts the Effect of an Ability as your event; Unit Begins Casting might fire even if the unit never actually cast the ability. Also, you are leaking two locations, consider saving your locations in a variable and calling RemoveLocation() on them when you are done. Also, for the dummy unit instead of waiting 5 seconds and removing it, just add a 5 second generic expiration timer to it.

The trigger isn't MUI because if someone else casted Vanish, the dummy unit wouldn't get destroyed. You could just destroy the dummy unit with Unit -

• Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

And then create another trigger that fires when a dummy unit dies so you could remove it.

But then, that's not the real problem.

For your Vanish ability, you could change the Data - Transition Time to 5.00 so the casting unit would disappear in 5 seconds.

Make sure the dummy unit has the Cloud ability. (Which I bet you've already done)

Change the

• Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

to a

• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

so players using this ability can't cheat to get a smoke effect when they aren't vanishing.

Well, that's all I can think of...
Edit: Darn it, I type too slow.
