Ok when using dummy units for a spell. Do you have to make a dummy that has the spell, or will the dummy unit just cast it without the spell on the unit [i'm thinking the dummy unit has to have the spell but i'm just checking XD]

dummy units (like any unit) cannot use abilities they do not have. :)
so you either have to
1) create the unit and add your ability within the object editor
or
2) give the abilitiy to the dummy unit with triggers

either way, you must trigger the dummy unit to use the ability.

thought so =] so when making a trigger like so

Code:
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Inferno
    Actions

for my actions one of them has to be create dummy units?
And the other the dummy units casting the abillity?

Edit: i can't find an action that would make these units created from this trigger to cast inferno =/

Code:
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Inferno
    Actions
        Wait 0.10 seconds
        Unit - Create 3 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

Code:
Actions
    For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
            Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Dreadlord - Inferno (Random point in (Playable map area))

FOotman is the dummy unit, with the Infernal ability. Btw, you do know how to remove leaks? no? Search after a leak tut if the answer is no :)

^ :confused:

What does you means? For summoned unit to not come out, just change the data in the Object Editor. Its got nothing to do with trigger and dummy? Btw, the Undead Dreadlord - Inferno is just an order to the dummy units. The dummy units do not need to be Undead Dreadlord (any units will do).
