I really cant understand why everything works except the dummy not casting the spell... Someone help please. Thanks.

instead of killing the unit, add expiration time


hmmm.


did the Sonic blast(dummy)/flamestrike spell has mana cost?, if yes.. remove it.

  Wait 5.00 seconds
  Unit - Kill Dummy[4]

add expiration timer instead.

- Why don't you use the variable for Unit - Add and Unit - Order?
Unit - Move...you are not using polar projection, so why call it?

Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))

(Target point of ability being cast)
change to
(Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)

As for your problem...
- Check mana cost of Flamestrike

I assume that you made sure that Sonic Blast (Blast Point) costs no mana and that it has no cast-time.
Otherwise im not sure, I have had alot of problems myself when it comes to flamestrike (I hate it).

Start by changing the event to Starts the effect of an ability.
Then set a variable to (Position of (Target unit if ability being cast)) and also for Position of (Triggering Unit)
Then since you set the dummy to a variable already (Dummy [4]) why don't u use it?
Instead of this Unit - Add Sonic Blast (Blast Point) to (Last created unit)
do this: Unit - Add Sonic Blast (Blast Point) to (Dummy [4])
and the same for the order.
and also, instead of waiting to destroy the dummy, set an expirationtimer on it instead and then you don't have 2 use the variable =)

Problem appears to be the first action
Scribble what I said earlier XD
(Target point of ability being cast)
change to
(Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)
Try this:

Blink Blast
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Blink Blast 
    Actions
        Custom script:   call SetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationX(GetSpellTargetLoc()))
        Custom script:   call SetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationY(GetSpellTargetLoc()))
        Unit - Create 1 Mountain King for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
        Unit - Add Dummy  to (Last created unit)
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
        Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Worked for me, it should for you.
