Misreferencing a unit

[Genkora]

This trigger of mine causes a tower to cast a spell when its mana reaches 100. It is passive, and for the most part it works rather well. However, it sometimes does not work, because the unit stored in my unit variable either does not exist or is out of range (Out of range of the 800 in the unit group "Random", the spell itself has a very very long range), but this is a rare occurrence. I know that is sometimes is referencing an incorrect unit because I have it set up to state the name of whatever unit is Runit.

What do you mean by "incorrect unit"? Your set random = units matching.... line gets cut off, so I can't see what else you have there. If this is a TD, I think it would be more appropriate to use a charge tower attacks event, rather that your periodic. Then that way you could just make RUnit the attacked unit.

try alternative method? give the tower ability first, and use the event an unit is attacked or GDD. If all condition are matched, order unit to do action (acid bomb)?

Ok, I changed it to a unit is attacked, and used a random unit from group in case the tower happened to be attacking a magic immune (so it'll cast it on something else besides the immune thing it is attacking). Works great, thanks.
