Add Ability - Mana Shield?

Sacrifice is modeled after Anti-Magic Shell.
Chakra Shield is modeled after Mana Shield.
I want one unit to cast Sacrifice on an allied unit. When this happens, the unit that casts Sacrifice is to be killed, and the targeted unit is to obtain the Chakra Shield ability.

This is my attempt at accomplishing this:
Code:
Sacrifice
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Sacrifice 
    Actions
        Unit - Kill (Casting unit)
        Unit - Add Chakra Shield  to (Target unit of ability being cast)

When I try to make this happen, all it does is kill the casting unit. It never gives the targeted unit the ability. Anyone care to enlighten me as to why it doesn't work? <(o_O)>?

Is chakra shield a hero ability? If it is i think the target needs to be a hero as well.

You can't get the target when you're using the event Finishes casting an ability; it just doesn't work in WC3. Instead, use Starts the effect of an ability.

I have tried all the different events having to do with a unit casting an ability. None of them worked. I forgot to change it back to Starts the effect of an ability is all.

It is not a hero ability.

Not really sure if this is the cause but mana shield has no effect unless activated....

Worked famously. Then I can just simply add the command to activate the shield before the kill as well. I didn't think the order of the actions would affect the play-out of the trigger. I didn't think they were related in anyway. I guess it erased the "Target unit of ability being cast" with the death of the "Casting unit", huh? Lol. Makes sense now.
