Dummies casting Flame Strike

[parmsib]

Hi, im having a problem at the moment. Im making a boss create flamestrikes on every hero in the arena every 1.5 second. The problem im having is that the dummies only seem to start the ability, and then stop, as the effect on the ground appears but there is no explosion.

there's a casting time on flame strike by default if you've forgotten to nullify it

I dont think it will matter because the dummies have a 20 sec durration.

I left the casting time as it is so that your hero has a little time to move from the flamestrike

edit: Apparently it worked without the casting time, and to avoid spending more time on this, im going to leave it as that

Try moving the action to add timed life to be before the order to cast Flame Strike. I seem to remember adding timed life to a unit would interrupt channeling...
