That might be your problem. Try (Matching unit). And also, you need to remove the unit group via custom script. As is now it still leaks.

You'd do that with the action

Custom script:    call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup)

If UnitGroup isn't actually your variable's name, change the UnitGroup in my example with the real name. The udg_ is vital, though; leave that.

Try using "Begins casting an ability"

and: Player number of (Owner of (casting unit)))

and: picked unit is the wrong action to use but i'm sure you would have to create a region variable and use "random 100 units in variableregion".

and so on.

Are you sure they get the buff?
