Dummy Unit Troubles

I'm grateful for any help.
Anything I think is an error is marked in bold.

What I am trying to do;
When the Priest hero casts their ultimate Twilight Rain (Starfall), the Dummy then casts Healing Light (Tranquility) at the same location.


What I currently have is;

Trigger 1
Event
Unit - Priest 0047 learns a spell
Condition
(Ability being learned) equal to Healing Light
Action
Unit - Increase level of Healing Light for Dummy 0061


Trigger 2
Event
Unit Priest 0047 begins casting an ability
Condition
(Ability being cast) equal to Twilight Rain
Action
Unit - Move Dummy 0061 instantly to (Position of triggering unit)
Unit - Order Dummy 0061 to Night Elf Keeper of the Grove - Tranquility


Currently when the Priest learns the spell the dummy doesn't even though they have the skill points, level neccesary and the ability.

In the second Trigger it seems like instead of casting the move I want it to cast it just casts normal tranquility.

Any help?
Thanks.

im not sure why the dummy are even in your map before the ability is cast but thats not the main issue there.
Does the dummy even have the ability? it wasnt clear in your post; you are increasing the level of the ability ; that doesnt make him gain it you need to unit add ability first or if its an hero; hero learn(need have 1 skill point)

in the 2nd trigger you are ordering it to MOVE and Cast tranquility at the same time basically

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes the dummy has the ability. He has enough skill points spare to get the move.

In the second trigger it works, but I want him to cast my custom move based off tranquility (Healing Rain) and I'm not sure if I've chosen the right triggers to do it.

The dummy unit is on the map because I never understood dummy units.

Yes the dummy has the ability. He has enough skill points spare to get the move.

go to object editor to the dummy [i suggest u make the dummy model none.mdl and add locust unless he needs to target himself with something]
then turn off is hero ability is item ability should be normaly off alredy with this
in this way it doesnt need points at all and you have proberly forgetten this thing


if you want to cast a hero a ability and u dont want to make it a unit ability i suggest you do like this

Code:
dummy
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Tranquility
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 No unit-type for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Add Tranquility to (Last created unit)
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Tranquility

note at trigger 2
Event
Unit Priest 0047 begins casting an ability
you should do finishes the effect of a ability
if the unit is stopped casting starfall when it didnt started yet casting time / fast pressed stop order

the healing will go the start fall not so you have to use
Code:
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

also try create ur dummy u can always store him in a varible if u need him for a other varible

    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
