It's not working because the AI isn't going to be selecting the unit
Pressing the Hotkey isn't going to work, so you're going to have to order the unit to cast the spells.
OR, just clear the selection of the AI player, then make him select the hero so you can use the Hotkey method.

OK. I'll try that.

EDIT : Still doesn't work. Any ideas?

((Owner of Player[(Integer A)]) slot status) Equal to Is unused

This not what you want. You want to check that the player controller is a computer.

Slot status is unused means that the player slot (like Player(2)) does not have any other state (like SLOT_STATE_PLAYING)

This is a bit advanced because I didn't learn how to do this until I learned jass, so if someone could tell you the GUI equivalent that would be helpful.

I wanted it to be unused. Did you know that if you set it to computer, it will automatically use items and go back to base? I didn't want that so I'll leave a player slot open to make this work...

Set the trigger up to order the units to cast the spells as maggie said. If it's still not working, post it here in trigger tags.

Hmm... Still doesn't work. They shoot sometimes but... They are too stupid...

....

Tags? If you mean the trigger, I have posted it above. I need them to face the target and then cast the skill. (Because it only damages unit in front. Plus the unit doesn't have an attack.)

post the trigger in trigger tags, after you've set it up to order the units to cast the spells like maggie said

Oh. Ok. But I'm not home right now. Maybe later. (I'm using my iPhone right now)

EDIT : I was testing somethings. I finally made it work. +Rep to you.
