changing ownership for a certain time then back again

[helpmeplease]

im making a spell that changes all units within 500 of target position of the ability to owner of the caster, and then back into the original owner after 5 seconds. this is my stab in the dark attempt but its not working at the moment. any reason why? thanks

• taking control
  • events
    • unit - a unit begins casting an ability
  • conditions
    • (ability being cast) equal to Taking Control
  • actions
    • unit group - pick every unit in (units within 500.00 of (target point of ability being cast)) and do (unit group - add picked unit) to takingcontrol)
    • special effect - i have so many of them
    • unit group - pick all units in takingcontrol and do (actions)
      • loop - actions
        • unit - change ownership of (picked unit) to (owner of (triggering unit)) and change colour
        • wait 5.00 seconds
        • unit group - pick every unit in taking control and do (actions)
          • loop - actions
            • if (all conditions are true) then do (then actions) else do (else actions)
              • if - conditions
                • ((units-type of (picked unit)) is a structure) equal to false
                • ((picked unit) is A hero) equal to false
              • then - actions
                • unit - change ownership of (matching unit) to (previous owner) and change colour
              • else - actions

unit - change ownership of (matching unit) to (previous owner) and change colour

This line will not work. You need to store the previous owner in a variable. Also it should be "picked unit" not "matching unit".

Another tip, use the event " Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability" instead of "begins casting an ability".

Also, your (matching unit) should be (picked unit). And you use the unit group 3 separate times. Try consolidating your trigger so that you only use the unit group once.

You are using a wait inside a unit group loop it will never work.
