Have you tried changing the dummy's model to see if it actually casts for the entire 6 waves, without dying or moving away sometime in between? That might shed some light on whether it's an AI, Object Editor or trigger-related problem.

Also, Locust usually renders the unit invulnerable to any other spell (unless, of course, you manually remove it with a trigger).

Yeah, I already tried that, and the dummy actually does nothing after cast the first wave, it just stands there... Also I have set the acquisition range and movement speed to 0.00/0 to make sure the dummy doesn't go anywhere or tries to engage other enemies...

It isn't hard to test to see if it's AI issue or not. You add your dummy into the map and manually make it cast the spell. If it casts without any problems, then it's AI issue. If it doesn't then it's something else.

Oh. Try to set the acquisition range to a large number. Fx. 5000.
Set: Combat - Attacks Enabled = NONE
Set: Stats - Can Flee = False

I'm also fairly sure the dummy unit MUST be able to see the target location if a channel ability is to work.

Think so too. The area should be visible.
My advice is to spawn the dummy unit at the target location for the spell and give it a sight range of at least 350.

Why the acquisition range has to be so big, isn't that make the dummy will engage every enemy in 5000 range(if attack enabled is set to one of available attack (1/2), but my dummy's attack enabled has already set to None)...? Meanwhile, if you want to channel a spell the caster should not move to engage any other enemies, or it will cancel the channels...

Yes, the dummy has 800 range of sight (day n night)...

Now, just forget it, it already work...
I simply delete all the triggers, variables, dummy unit, and the spell itself, then start it again from the start all over again with the same method and it completely work, even though I don't know why...
Maybe what vypur said was right, it happens in random, and lucky for them who never get this problem...

Glad it works for you.

To answer your question in the quote.
Sometimes (can't remember when) a unit will not cast spells beyond it's acquisition range.
And when you have disabled both attacks it will never (and can't) try to move to, or track down, an enemy unit.

It's best to be safe. Just make it invulnerable, what's the issue? WC3 has a lot of situation combinations.

EDIT: I was referring to the locust & invulnerable question.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
