Spell explanation

[008]

I don't understand the overgrowth spell that someone made.
1 - first : when we create a unit don't we see it ?

• Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at OG_Point facing Default building facing degrees

2 - why he set the level of overgrowth if he don't use it ?

• Unit - Set level of Overgrowth (Dummy) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Overgrowth for (Triggering unit))
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Picked unit)

3 - same question if he give expiration time why we don't see the unit

• Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

• Overgrowth
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Overgrowth
  • Actions
    • Set OG_Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set OG_Group = (Units within 700.00 of OG_Point matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True))
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_OG_Point)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in OG_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set OG_Point = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at OG_Point facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Set level of Overgrowth (Dummy) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Overgrowth for (Triggering unit))
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Picked unit)

2.Shark bait - what he means is why does it play entangling roots.

You can not see it because it is a dummy unit. People use dummy units to combine different skills. For example, your overgrowth skill does nothing. But the dummy unit casts entaglating roots to nearby enemies. So you see it like your hero does entagle them. But no, dummy unit entaglates. Search dummy units for more info.

1 and 3 are pretty much answered already, though a little elaboration on 2 could come in handy.

When ordering units to cast spells, you do not order them to use the spell itself but you order them to preform the order of the spell. In this case the dummy spell is on Entangling Roots, so the dummy is ordered to execute the engangling roots order, hence casting the spell.
