Some help for my map...

Have you tried changing the dummy's model to see if it actually casts for the entire 6 waves, without dying or moving away sometime in between? That might shed some light on whether it's an AI, Object Editor or trigger-related problem.

Also, Locust usually renders the unit invulnerable to any other spell (unless, of course, you manually remove it with a trigger).

Yeah, I already tried that, and the dummy actually does nothing after cast the first wave, it just stands there... Also I have set the acquisition range and movement speed to 0.00/0 to make sure the dummy doesn't go anywhere or tries to engage other enemies...

It isn't hard to test to see if it's AI issue or not. You add your dummy into the map and manually make it cast the spell. If it casts without any problems, then it's AI issue. If it doesn't then it's something else.

Oh. Try to set the acquisition range to a large number. Fx. 5000.
Set: Combat - Attacks Enabled = NONE
Set: Stats - Can Flee = False

I'm also fairly sure the dummy unit MUST be able to see the target location if a channel ability is to work.

Think so too. The area should be visible.
My advice is to spawn the dummy unit at the target location for the spell and give it a sight range of at least 350.

Why the acquisition range has to be so big, isn't that make the dummy will engage every enemy in 5000 range(if attack enabled is set to one of available attack (1/2), but my dummy's attack enabled has already set to None)...? Meanwhile, if you want to channel a spell the caster should not move to engage any other enemies, or it will cancel the channels...

Yes, the dummy has 800 range of sight (day n night)...

Now, just forget it, it already work...
I simply delete all the triggers, variables, dummy unit, and the spell itself, then start it again from the start all over again with the same method and it completely work, even though I don't know why...
Maybe what vypur said was right, it happens in random, and lucky for them who never get this problem...

Glad it works for you.

To answer your question in the quote.
Sometimes (can't remember when) a unit will not cast spells beyond it's acquisition range.
And when you have disabled both attacks it will never (and can't) try to move to, or track down, an enemy unit.

Thanks, for your explanations, I'll be back with some problem that I might not be able to handle it myself...

It's best to be safe. Just make it invulnerable, what's the issue? WC3 has a lot of situation combinations.

EDIT: I was referring to the locust & invulnerable question.
