In your given conditions, I would try setting the event

"Unit - Spawns a Unit"

Then change the conditionals from "Triggering Unit" to "Summoning Unit".
I think the "Unit Type of (Summoned Unit) can't be detected because you needed the event I provided for it to be detected.

I never explain how its suppose to work....Its suppose to work as a ward that spawns a unit with the locust ability when an enemy walks near it and after traveling to far from the ward the unit dies. I had to use some work arounds to get it to work though. but i will try what you said.

The triggering unit is lost after the first wait.

Try to set a unit variable before the wait.
Set Temp_Unit_Var = Triggering unit
And then refer to Temp_Unit_Var instead of triggering unit in the following actions.

Just notice that if more than one unit can use this ability it will get messed up.

Could 'shadow' (or what it's called) the global var and use it in a custom script to call the local to allow MUI.

You create a global variable and use it to call for a local one instead through custom script, I just don't remember what it's called.
