Can you tell me how to make a unit cast an ability using triggers?

Trigger:
  • F2 Santa War Stomp
    • Events
      • Unit - Santa 0057 <gen> Is attacked
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • f2_santa_was_attacked_recently Equal to 0
        • Then - Actions
          • Set f2_santa_was_attacked_recently = 1
          • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(f2_santa_was_attacked_recently))
          • Unit - Order Santa 0057 <gen> to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Attacking unit)
          • Wait 5.00 seconds
          • Set f2_santa_was_attacked_recently = 0
          • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(f2_santa_was_attacked_recently))
        • Else - Actions
          • Do nothing


This is what i tried but it doesn't work. It's the "Unit - Order Santa 0057 <gen> to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Attacking unit)" part that doesn't work.
I'm sure because the integer is printed and has the correct value. The only reason why I use integers is because I couldn't find a way to "print" the value of a boolean in game.
I saw other people using "Unit - Order Santa 0057 <gen> to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Attacking unit)" but if it's possible to cast custom abilities please tell.
I appreciate all possible help!
Thanks!

What's the dummy spell based on?

War Stomp from the Tauren Chieftain (orc). I'm not sure if I answered you correctly, but I want it to stun everyone around it, war stomp seemed appropriate but I couldn't find it under "Unit - Order Santa 0057 <gen> to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Attacking unit)" action.

Well ordering the unit to storm bolt won't be much help if the ability is based on war stomp. Lots of similar abilities share IDs, for example I believe there's also a neutral war stomp, which should have the same ID as the Orc one. Try ordering that instead.

Try Issue Order With No Target. There should be an Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp on the list.

Yes, thank you very much! It worked :)
Thanks for your time!

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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
