Description
Blink towards a target and strikes it for 1000 damage and stuns it for 2 seconds, the strike is so powerful that the surrounding area exploded, dealing 1000 damage per second to nearby enermies for 3 seconds.

Casting spell used - Storm Bolt

Damage spell used - Flame Strike

Code:
Blink Blast
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Sonic Blast (Cast Point)
    Actions
        Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to ((Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) offset by (0.00, 0.00))
        Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Set Dummy[4] = (Last created unit)
        Unit - Add Sonic Blast (Blast Point) to (Last created unit)
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike (Target point of ability being cast)
        Wait 5.00 seconds
        Unit - Kill Dummy[4]

I really cant understand why everything works except the dummy not casting the spell... Someone help please. Thanks.

instead of killing the unit, add expiration time

did the Sonic blast(dummy)/flamestrike spell has mana cost?, if yes.. remove it.

Code:
  Wait 5.00 seconds
  Unit - Kill Dummy[4]
add expiration timer instead.

- Why don't you use the variable for Unit - Add and Unit - Order?
Unit - Move...you are not using polar projection, so why call it?
Code:
Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))

(Target point of ability being cast)
change to
(Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)

As for your problem...
- Check mana cost of Flamestrike

I assume that you made sure that Sonic Blast (Blast Point) costs no mana and that it has no cast-time.
Otherwise im not sure, I have had alot of problems myself when it comes to flamestrike (I hate it).

Start by changing the event to Starts the effect of an ability.
Then set a variable to (Position of (Target unit if ability being cast)) and also for Position of (Triggering Unit)
Then since you set the dummy to a variable already (Dummy [4]) why don't u use it?
Instead of this Unit - Add Sonic Blast (Blast Point) to (Last created unit)
do this: Unit - Add Sonic Blast (Blast Point) to (Dummy [4])
and the same for the order.
and also, instead of waiting to destroy the dummy, set an expirationtimer on it instead and then you don't have 2 use the variable =)

Problem appears to be the first action
Scribble what I said earlier XD
(Target point of ability being cast)
change to
(Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)

Try this:
Code:
Blink Blast
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Blink Blast 
    Actions
        Custom script:   call SetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationX(GetSpellTargetLoc()))
        Custom script:   call SetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationY(GetSpellTargetLoc()))
        Unit - Create 1 Mountain King for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
        Unit - Add Dummy  to (Last created unit)
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
        Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
Worked for me, it should for you.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
