[Solved] Why isn't this working guys?

• Smoke Potion
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Smoke Potion (dummy)
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local real x = GetSpellTargetX()
    • Custom script: local real y = GetSpellTargetY()
    • Custom script: set bj_lastCreatedUnit = CreateUnit(GetTriggerPlayer(), 'h00A', x, y, bj_UNIT_FACING)
    • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(bj_lastCreatedUnit, 'Aclf')
    • Custom script: call IssuePointOrderById(bj_lastCreatedUnit, 852473, x, y)
    • Custom script: call UnitApplyTimedLife(bj_lastCreatedUnit, 'BTLF', 10.5)

Do the actions run? Is the dummy created? Does the dummy get the correct ability? Does the dummy get the order? Does the ability require mana or some upgrade so the dummy can't cast it?

You could put in a bit of effort yourself. Use Game - Display text message (BJDebugMsg()) to display debugging messages.

One issue could be that the unit's movement speed is zero and it can't turn and therefore it won't cast the ability.

Try this:

function test takes nothing returns nothing
    local location loc = GetSpellTargetLoc()
    local unit u = CreateUnitAtLoc(GetTriggerPlayer(), 'h00A', loc, bj_UNIT_FACING)
    call UnitAddAbility(u, 'Aclf')
    call IssuePointOrderByIdLoc(u, 'Aclf', loc)
    call UnitApplyTimedLife(u, 'BTLF', 10.5)
    call RemoveLocation(loc)
    set u = null
endfunction

Like Maker suggested, check the mana cost of your dummy's ability as well as the dummy's movement speed.

Maker, Mr_Bean987, Thank you both. The problem was that i didn't disable the techtree requirements for the dummy's ability so he wasn't able to use it! Thanks to both of you +rep to you maker.

@Mr_Bean987= you have to null the location variable too or it will leak. But using pure X/Y coordinates is much-much better:

function test takes nothing returns nothing
    local location loc = GetSpellTargetLoc()
    local unit u = CreateUnit(GetTriggerPlayer(), 'h00A', GetSpellTarteX(),GetSpellTargetY(), bj_UNIT_FACING)
    call UnitAddAbility(u, 'Aclf')
    call IssuePointOrder(u, "order_string", GetSpellTargetX(),GetSpellTargetY())
    call UnitApplyTimedLife(u, 'BTLF', 10.5)
    call RemoveLocation(loc)
    set u = null
endfunction

Also, IssuePointOrderByID takes an orderid, not an ability id. The list of available orderid's is here:
