Dummy Casting Rain of Chaos help

I have what I believe to be a pretty simple question, and +rep for any help:

Is there any way to make a dummy caster cast Rain of Chaos? I've been trying and can't get it to work, probably because the spell doesn't seem to have a base order string. I have of course tried changing the order string to rainofchaos (which exists, despite not actually being used by default for any of the Rain of Chaos spells that I've found) and there is a trigger order for Special Archimonde Rain of Chaos but even with those combined, the dummy does not cast it. Any way to make this work? Some stupid mistake I'm making maybe? Thanks.
 
Certainly:

Trigger:
  • Kraaj Fire
    • Events
    • Conditions
      • ElementalFight Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Set spawningpoint = ((Center of Tower of Elements <gen>) offset by 150.00 towards 315.00 degrees)
      • Unit - Create 1 Decimate Dummy high for Player 12 (Brown) at spawningpoint facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_spawningpoint)
      • Unit - Add Rain of Chaos fusion to (Last created unit)
      • Set spawningpoint = ((Center of Tower of Elements <gen>) offset by 150.00 towards 315.00 degrees)
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Special Archimonde - Rain Of Chaos spawningpoint
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_spawningpoint)
      • Unit - Add a 24.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Wait 20.00 game-time seconds
      • Set spawningpoint = (Position of FusionEle)
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect at spawningpoint using Objects\Spawnmodels\Undead\UDeathMedium\UDeath.mdl
      • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_spawningpoint)
      • Unit - Replace FusionEle with a Fusion Elemental using The old unit's relative life and mana
      • Set FusionEle = (Last replaced unit)
      • Set TempPoint1 = (Center of Earth Elemental Spawn <gen>)
      • Set TempPoint2 = ((Center of Tower of Elements <gen>) offset by 150.00 towards 225.00 degrees)
      • Unit - Create 1 Earth Elemental for Player 10 (Light Blue) at TempPoint1 facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move To TempPoint2
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
      • Trigger - Run Kraaj Earth <gen> (checking conditions)


The trigger is run by another trigger, and it does run because the 2nd half of the trigger executes properly (everything after the wait). And I set the spawnpoint variable twice because I have a similar trigger only for Earthquake for the earth form of this boss, and previously when I just set the variable once, the dummy was focusing the Earthquake in the wrong spot, but when I changed it to like this it was targeting correctly, so I changed this trigger to the same in hopes that it might help.
 
Well, from what I've seen there's only one Rain of Chaos order string, and that's the one I'm using (it's not actually the order string for the Rain of Chaos ability that Archimonde has, because his has no order string, but that doesn't work either).
 
Bump.

Anyone know if there's a way to fix this/simulate its effect or should I just move on already and use some other ability?
 
Does inferno have an orderstring that works? If so you can create your own by creating a radius of the full spell and then picking a random point to cast the inferno. And while some spells, item and special spells in particular, don't have orderstings there is a way to find the order id and give the order in Jass.
 
Well the trigger would have to run every .2 seconds based on how many infernal hits I'd like to have in that area, and I think that might be problematic. However, the mentioning of that made me think of a way that I can make it work using Inferno and random points that will be satisfactory. +rep to both of you for helping out, thanks!

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
