Unit group not working properly

I have an admittedly rather ugly trigger, located at the heart of which is a unit group selection. What the trigger is supposed to do is set the custom value of the picked units to 1. In the unit group there are two units, one that doesn't matter what its CV is, and the other one that its the entire point of this unit group. The one that doesn't matter is getting the proper CV but the one I care about isn't changing (for the record the Triggering Unit is the one I don't care about). The kicker is I even have debug text set to go off so that for every unit picked it'll say so, and it's saying two units are getting picked but it's still not affecting the unit I want. Here's my trigger:
Trigger:
  • Unit selection
    • Events
      • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • dmhurtbool Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - (Real(dmhurtnum))) Greater than 0.40
            • Then - Actions
              • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - (Real(dmhurtnum)))
            • Else - Actions
              • Set temppos = (Position of (Triggering unit))
              • Set tempUg = (Units within 100.00 of temppos)
              • Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempUg and do (Actions)
                • Loop - Actions
                  • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to 1
                  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Debug text
              • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temppos)
              • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_tempUg)
              • Floating Text - Destroy (Load (Key name) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in htNametagsIf the label is not found, this function returns NULL.)
              • Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)
        • Else - Actions
(What the rest of the trigger is for is hurting units according to the host's specifications, and if they die then it goes through to the unit group.)

Any ideas as to why one unit would be picked and not another? I have no unit-type comparisons or anything...

Yeah, the desired unit is technically 'flying' so they're actually in the exact same spot. I have another ability that shows the position in raw coordinates of units in an area and they have the same values.

Maybe you can try damaging the units within the unit group?

The unit I want has the Locust ability so I wouldn't be able to see it take damage. >.> It's worked for every other trigger though.

Locust units don't get picked by Units Within Range. You need to use Units of Type.

Interesting. I had a blank map up at the time so I tested that because I was sure that it worked in my map and it didn't, so I went back to my map and it worked. Then I went back to my unit and realized it didn't actually have Locust, but it had no model which was good enough. Apparently I don't know my own map.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
