Issue with channeling ability

I made a channeling heal spell, based on channel. It works fine, except when you target it on the caster, it seems to force the user to use stop.
Any reason why this would happen? I use the ability via a item if that effects it in any way.

JASS:
scope medkit initializer i
    private struct medDat
        unit u
        unit t
        effect e
    endstruct
    
    globals
        private constant integer MEDID = 'A08Y'
        private constant real HEALRATE = 50
        private constant real BREAKRANGE = 325
        private constant string EFFECT = "Abilities\\Spells\\NightElf\\Rejuvenation\\RejuvenationTarget.mdl"
        private constant string ATTACHPOINT = "chest"
        private constant real TIMEROUT = 0.3
        
        private timer time = CreateTimer()
        private integer dbIndex = -1
        private medDat array medDB
    endglobals
    
    private function c takes nothing returns boolean
        return GetSpellAbilityId() == MEDID
    endfunction
    
    private function p takes nothing returns nothing
        local medDat tempDat
        local integer index=0
        loop 
            exitwhen index>dbIndex
            set tempDat=medDB[index]
            call SetUnitState(tempDat.t,UNIT_STATE_LIFE,GetUnitState(tempDat.t,UNIT_STATE_LIFE)+(HEALRATE*TIMEROUT))
            if tempDat.t != tempDat. u then
                call SetUnitFacingTimed(tempDat.u,A2PXY(GetUnitX(tempDat.u),GetUnitY(tempDat.u),GetUnitX(tempDat.t),GetUnitY(tempDat.t)),0)
            endif
            if D2PXY(GetUnitX(tempDat.t),GetUnitY(tempDat.t),GetUnitX(tempDat.u),GetUnitY(tempDat.u)) > BREAKRANGE or GetUnitCurrentOrder(tempDat.u) != 852008 then
                call IssueImmediateOrder(tempDat.u,"stop")
                call DestroyEffect(tempDat.e)
                call tempDat.destroy()
                set medDB[index]=medDB[dbIndex]
                set dbIndex=dbIndex-1
                if dbIndex==-1 then
                    call PauseTimer(time)
                endif
            endif
            set index=index+1
        endloop
    endfunction
    
    private function a takes nothing returns nothing
        local medDat tempDat=medDat.create()
        set tempDat.u = GetTriggerUnit()
        set tempDat.t = GetSpellTargetUnit()
        set tempDat.e = AddSpecialEffectTarget(EFFECT,tempDat.t,ATTACHPOINT)
        set dbIndex=dbIndex+1
        set medDB[dbIndex]=tempDat
        if dbIndex==0 then
            call TimerStart(time,TIMEROUT,true,function p)
        endif
    endfunction
    
    private function i takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger t=CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(t,EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT)
        call TriggerAddCondition(t,Condition(function c))
        call TriggerAddAction(t,function a)
    endfunction
endscope

That shouldnt have anything to do with it. It wouldnt even let you target yourself if that was the case. Im guessing it has something to do with this.

JASS:
            if D2PXY(GetUnitX(tempDat.t),GetUnitY(tempDat.t),GetUnitX(tempDat.u),GetUnitY(tempDat.u)) > BREAKRANGE or GetUnitCurrentOrder(tempDat.u) != 852008 then
                call IssueImmediateOrder(tempDat.u,"stop")


I'm not sure what D2PXY is or what that order # is, but I bet it is causing your unit to stop channeling due to one of those things. Try tweaking that or explaining more what that 'if' line is doing.

D2PXY sounds like Distance 2 Point XY.

Also there's a space:___v (don't know if that affects anything in JASS)
if tempDat.t != tempDat. u then

I think i've found the issue. For some weird reason to order ID changes? Anyone got any idea what it would change to?

Not sure what you are asking. The order ID you have is for 'UseSlot1' and Im not sure what you are doing with that...

    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.

    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
