its supposed to add 4 stacks of Chilling Touch( Slow Poison ) to every units it comes in contact with... using a debug trigger, i found out it creates more than 40 units to attack them... however i dont see any problem with it...
can anyone help?

woah dood.... Your trigger is soo hard to understand as there is soo mani unknown varialbes like all the unit groups.... Could u at least state what they are?

Instead of making 4 dummy units, you could create 1 dummy unit and make it cast the ability 4 times.

By the way, please, use

• [ /wc3] tags, that sh*t is unreadable.

Can you (pick every unit) inside another (Pick every unit)? I thought that would bug?

It doesn't bug. However, you can't refer to the enum unit in the first group action in the second group action, unless you use a variable of course.
