[Mmage]

"Casting unit" gets lost more often than not after an action that does its own casting...

Either store it in a variable, or use "Triggering unit" instead.

well is it a channeling ability? otherwise use the event Start the effect of an ability.
also set the points into a variable and then use Custom Script - call RemoveLocation (udg_Your_Variable) to destroy them and to make it lagless like this:

Melee Initialization
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
    Actions
         Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Ability being cast) Equal to (==) Animate Dead
                (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) 1
            Then - Actions
                Set Temp_Point[1] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
                Wait 0.01 seconds
                Set Temp_Point[2] = (Temp_Point[1] offset by 150.00 towards 90.00 degrees)
                Set Temp_Point[3] = (Temp_Point[1] offset by 150.00 towards 270.00 degrees)
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Temp_Point[1] facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
                Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Target unit of ability being cast)
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Temp_Point[2] facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
                Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Target unit of ability being cast)
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Temp_Point[3] facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
                Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Target unit of ability being cast)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point[1])
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point[2])
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point[3])
            Else - Actions

It took a little while to figure out what was causing the problem in the first place, once the units spawned, they didnt shoot, but Komaqtion's fix worked, thanks for helping.
